User:Henrik/live-edit-counter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So if you have always wanted to know exactly how many edits you have? Now comes the most useful userbox since... well.. the last one created[1].This userbox, with some ajax magic, will give you a live edit counter on your userpage. But please remember that editcountitis can be fatal.

[edit] Installation

To install, add

// [[User:Henrik/live-edit-counter]]
importScript('User:Henrik/js/live-edit-counter.js');

to your monobook.js (located at User:YOURUSERNAME/monobook.js)

Also add {{User:Henrik/ubx/User contrib|<edits>|<Username>}} to your userpage replacing <username> with your username and <edits> with an approximate edit count for those without the javascript installed. [2]

Note that you should still use the modified userbox the same way as Template:User contrib, it accepts the same parameters and should be used in the same way. But if you have the javascript installed, it'll display a live counter! All users who haven't installed the javascript and non-logged in users will see the plain old counter.

[edit] Example

1,500+ This user has made over 1,500 contributions to Wikipedia.

{{User:Henrik/ubx/User contrib|1500|Henrik}}

[edit] Notes

  1. ^ Actually, this is probably the least useful userbox ever. But there was nothing good on TV last night.
  2. ^ It'll still look okay for you, even if you don't insert a number - but it will look strange for others.
