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)[reply]

User:andrybak/Scripts/Contribs ranger

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)[reply]

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.

Posting the above gave me a pop-up link to Mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary_accounts. Haven't found an answer to my question yet but will look closer. --~2025-31227-53 (talk) 15:05, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And that post gave me a new header with the drop-down menu i was asking about...

i wonder what Wikipedia will look like on my phone...

On the desktop, I believe you should be able to click the three dots at the top-right corner, then select 'Contributions'. Going to Special:MyContributions should work too, as far as I know. Also, we did away with IPs! Editors who aren't logged in have a temporary account instead of publicly displaying their IP address. Sunmist (talk) 15:21, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
