Template talk:User mainspace edits

Perhaps "over" should be changed to "roughly" or "approximately" or "about". I mean, people can and do come along to delete pages you've put a lot of work into. — CharlotteWebb 01:06, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Even so, I would still have done over N edits — edits done to pages that were removed afterwards are still edits on my record. I don't want a userbox that says, in effect: Well, uh, I think I have, like, maybe N edits, if that's OK with you?.  I want a bold userbox to show off my number of edits in a positive way.  Besides, the current vacillating userbox with tilde and parentheses has a sloppy, unfinished look.  The original version was better.  Freederick 14:29, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

What are mainspace edits?
I've looked all over the place and can't find any sort of formal definition. Does it simply mean edits done to encyclopedic articles, or something else entirely? --Brandon (talk) 18:39, 12 May 2008 (UTC)


 * The "mainspace" is the main namespace; the namespace without a name. Mainspace edits means edits done in this space: edits to encyclopedic articles, disambiguation pages, redirects, etc, but not edits to discussion pages, deletion debates, policy proposals, image descriptions, user presentations, etc. Plrk (talk) 19:15, 12 May 2008 (UTC)


 * By the way, because of the above I'd really rather have the box say "Wikipedia mainspace" rather than "Wikipedia articles". Plrk (talk) 19:21, 12 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I agree, and will change it if there are no objections. Adam McCormick (talk) 23:26, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

wannabe kate
The wannabe kate counter doesn't really work properly anymore, can this edit be made on this template, please? --Closedmouth (talk) 12:00, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Depreciated?
This user box appears to not work anymore. Is it depreciated? It seems like {user contrib} has replaced this. --- BAxelrod (talk) 17:05, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Despite the attempt at fixing, it still doesn't work in the sense that clicking on the link won't go to an edit count, making the username part of the link useless. The url for my edit count is http://toolserver.org/~soxred93/count/index.php?name=aeusoes1&lang=en&wiki=wikipedia.  I'm not sure how the code should change for that.  — Æµ§œš¹  [aɪm ˈfɻɛ̃ⁿdˡi]  00:35, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Template Broken
Template Broken link should be http://toolserver.org/~soxred93/count/index.php?name=USER&lang=en&wiki=wikipedia Please Fix. -- Phoenix (talk) 00:42, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. --- RockMFR 03:42, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Edit Req
Could the template be changed to use the userbox template. There's a version in the sandbox with all the changes done which can be copied over. Thanks. -- WOSlinker (talk) 14:27, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Sync'd with latest sandbox version. Cheers, Skomorokh  17:27, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Edits to articles/pages
Should N be the number of edits to articles (Main namespace) or the number of edits to pages (Any namespace)? Gioguch (talk) 19:59, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
