Only show edits that are **not** latest revisions?
I see in talk history the section where "Only show edits that are latest revisions" was born.
But what I commonly want to see is: pages where my contributions aren't the latest revision, since that means somebody else has edited the page after me.
This would instantly tell me if someone might have stealth-reverted or otherwise edited a page I recently edited. (I mostly stay away from high-traffic pages)
How do I easily see the opposite of "Only show edits that are latest revisions"?
More formally: the pages I have contributed to, but only the pages with later edits than mine. CapnZapp (talk) 16:27, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
- (The page can still show my edits as opposed to those of others. I'm still looking at "my contributions" after all. But I would know entries don't include pages I don't have any reason to visit, namely those where my last edit still is the current one) CapnZapp (talk) 16:31, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
- @CapnZapp: The script User:Markhurd/hidetopcontrib can help with this. When viewing a list of contributions, you can click a new option on the "More" menu to hide all the lines that say "(Current)" -- John of Reading (talk) 16:51, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks. Will this functionality (or something like it) find its way into the standard functionality of Contributions? CapnZapp (talk) 17:01, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
- @CapnZapp: This was requested years ago at phab:T5753. Don't hold your breath. -- John of Reading (talk) 07:16, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

Auto-refresh
This is my suggestion for a feature addition: Adding an auto-refresh feature, like Recent changes, for contributions. This would be good for those who want to fight users who keep vandalizing articles. - Master of Hedgehogs (converse) (hate that hedgehog!) 12:32, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
User:andrybak/Scripts/Contribs ranger.js is a user script, which makes it easier to use &offset= and &limit= in URLs to contribs. A month ago I looked for such tools and couldn't find any, so made my own. Ping to PrimeHunter, who participated in that discussion.
I've also included a link to Wikipedia:User scripts/List#Contributions in the "See also" section. Plus, watchers of this page might find the script useful. —andrybak (talk) 22:25, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
question about My Contributions
i hope this is the right place to ask this question.
What happened to the link to My Contributions? i think it used to be in a drop-down menu near the Log in link, similar to the way Wiktionary still has it, and it would take non-logged-in users to [[Special:Contributions/###]] but automatically replacing ### with the current IP address. If i need to, i can still go to the Wikipedia:Sandbox and Preview an Edit including "~~~~" and get the link that way, but the other way was more convenient.
Wishing everyone safe, happy, productive editing. --~2025-31227-53 (talk) 14:43, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
