EditCounter User:Trex2001
Hi there,

your editCounter works for my account only for the english wikipedia, not for the german one (which worked until yesterday). Can you help me out? The error i get when i try to use it for de.wikipwdia.org is "Trex2001 User doesn't exist" (the error message is translated from german)

Thanks in advance —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trex2001 (talk • contribs) 09:03, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

User:X!/hidehugglecontribs.js
Hi X!, I've just come across User:X!/hidehugglecontribs.js, and wondered if you could whip up an equivalent for WP:AWB (assuming it doesn't exist already)? That would be most excellent. Rd232 talk 13:11, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

How do I "opt out" of your edit counter's monthly and page edit things?
Hi, it appears that others can view my monthly and article edit statistics. I don't recall opt'ing in to (but maybe I'm forgotting). In any case, I'd rather not have that information publicly available. How do I "opt out"? I'd still like to be able to see it though if that is possible. Jason Quinn (talk) 16:03, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * It read User:Jason_Quinn/Editcounter and used that. It does not parse the content, so the only way out is to delete it (which I have done). There is no way to opt in for yourself only (there's no way to know). ( X! ·  talk )  · @713  · 16:06, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Question about edit counter
Hi X!

I'm a student at the University of the Philippines and we are currently looking for a way to fetch the edit count of a Wikipedian for each month. I noticed that your excellent tool is able to retrieve such information. However we would like a way to fetch a user's edit count using a script so we can automate the process. I apologize if I'm just being dim but is there a way to do this easily (maybe through the Wikipedia api or through your tool) without having to download a dump of Wikipedia.

Sincerely,

John —Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.55.222.112 (talk) 04:41, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
 * http://toolserver.org/~soxred93/pcount/api.php?name=Example&lang=en&wiki=wikipedia&lang=xml gives you info about groups, counts, etc. You can switch "xml" with json, php, yaml, wddx, if you want it in another format. Lemme know if you need any help. ( X! ·  talk )  · @538  · 11:54, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi X!

Thanks for the quick response :) Cool, the api works as long as I change the last "lang" field to format. (e.g. http://toolserver.org/~soxred93/pcount/api.php?name=nihonjoe&lang=en&wiki=wikipedia&format=xml). I tried reading the documentation for your api from a link in your home page but couldn't find what I was looking for. Could you please tell me how I could retrieve a user's monthly edit count (the month counts) using the api if that is possible, I only need the monthly total and not the break-down of edits in the different namespaces. Thank you for the help and I'm sorry for the hassle.

Bravo
Bravo -- short and to the point. I would say to contact me if you ever want to collaborating on expanding it, but I almost feel like that growing such would detract from the poignancy. <3 //Blaxthos ( t / c ) 22:43, 13 December 2010 (UTC)  P.S. - Nice to see Hi, Opal! is still funny. :)

X!'s Edit Counter for sites not ending in ".org"
I have used X!'s Edit Counter for my Wikipedia and Wiktionary accounts, and it works great.

Does X!'s Edit Counter work for sites not ending in ".org", for example, ".tv"? http://toolserver.org/~soxred93/ec seems to indicate it only works for sites ending in ".org".

Sample: http://wiki.twit.tv/wiki/User:Mortense#My_edit_statistics
