Changes: Help:User contributions

Revision as of 20:43, 18 September 2020

User contributions pages list the edits that a particular user has made on a specific community. They allow you to see what edits others have made as well as keep track of your own edits.

Step by step

User contributions page

The user masthead lists a user's total edit count on this specific community.
This tab gives you access to the user's contributions.
Here you can filter the user's contributions by namespace and date.
This lists all the user's edits and allows you to link to the page and diff.

Additional ways to access contributions pages

All contributions pages are in the form Special:Contributions/USERNAME, enabling easy linking, for example, Special:Contributions/Fandom.
To access your own user contributions page, click or go to Special:MyContributions.
If the editor is not logged in, the IP address is used in place of the username. For quick access you can click on the IP address in Recent changes or Page history.

Global contributions on Special:UserActivity

Through Special:UserActivity on Community Central, you will be able to access a list of all the communities you've edited across Fandom.

By default the list is ordered by your most recent edits, but you can also sort it by community name or number of edits. It also lists important user groups you are in.

-Checking your contributions is useful to refresh your memory about which pages you have worked on (and to easily access these again), but can also be used to find out whether there have been any subsequent edits (see below). This makes it possible to "watch" pages even if you haven't put them on your [[Help:Watchlist|watchlist]]. Other users' user contribution pages can also be accessed and are useful for seeing how other users have contributed. They can be used to track down vandals, copyright violations, etc.
+* All contributions pages are in the form <code>Special:Contributions/USERNAME</code>, enabling easy linking, for example, [[Special:Contributions/Fandom]].
