Template talk:Editcount

Opening heading
This is a really good idea, but it has a flaw: It doesn't work for usernames that include spaces. works fine.doesn't.Note that it works when manually typing a User name into the edit counter.Leaving the space in creates this:, and leaving it out won't do much good either: -Sonic Mew July 9, 2005 18:08 (UTC)

Updated code - working again :)
I've rewritten this code. The wannabe_kate tool seems to be down permanently since late 2008. (I see that User:Interiot left in December 2007). The new code uses the soxred93 tool. Functionality in the new code is identical to before but has been extended to allow a custom link text. The issue mentioned above is also fixed. The result of the update will be a resumption of normal service for editors currently using the template, bug fixes compared to the old code and an extension of functionality.

The new code is:



An administrator will need to make this chance since the template is locked. The new code can be seen from my sandbox for now:

Could someone wrap the template in ? The result would look something like this:

 * Yes check.svg Done. I unprotected the page as well, seeing as there were less than 200 transclusions and they were mostly in the user namespace. — Mr. Stradivarius  ♪ talk ♪ 05:47, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

The base url has changed. The base url redirects to https://xtools.wmflabs.org/ec

The url in the example https://tools.wmflabs.org/supercount/index.php?user=Jimbo+Wales&project=en.wikipedia

now redirects to https://xtools.wmflabs.org/ec/en.wikipedia/Jimbo%20Wales

And should be updated.-- Auric   talk  15:33, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Spaces in template don't work
When using spaces in the template (such as ), the spaces will be replaced by a plus instead of the correct %20. Dudhhr (talk) 02:55, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Please replace with  so that the template uses the correct %20 required in the URL as a substitute for a space. Implemented in the sandbox, templates on test page working correctly. 192.76.8.91 (talk) 16:07, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
