Extension:PageAuthors/en

PageAuthors is an extension that introduces a magic word  that returns a list of the main page authors of a page, sorted by number of bytes added. The extension is highly configurable so you can fine-tune what counts as an author.

Usage
Simply add  to any page and you will get a comma-separated list of the main authors of the current page, sorted by number of bytes added. See #Configuration to define your own criteria of what counts as an author.

You can also do  to get the list of authors for some page other than the current one.

The list of authors can be further processed using Extension:Arrays or the #arraymap function of the PageForms extension, for example to link to the relevant user pages.

Configuration
Each configuration is shown with its default value:


 * ― Minimum number of bytes added that each author must reach in order to be considered an author.
 * ― Minimum number of bytes that each edit must reach in order to be counted.
 * ― Whether to ignore edits marked as minor.
 * ― Whether to ignore blocked users.
 * ― Whether to ignore anonymous users.
 * ― Whether to ignore bots.
 * ― Whether to ignore system users (such as in mass imports).
 * ― Ignore edits with edit summaries that match these PHP regex patterns. By default, edits with edit summaries that start with 'Undo' or 'Revert' will be ignored (these match the default edit summaries when doing a revert or a rollback). So for example, if some vandal blanks a page and then a user reverts it, the revert won't count towards the byte count of the user.
 * ― Delimiter between authors.
