Thread:Project:Support desk/How to get character count of a Proofread page?/reply (3)

Can I ask what the purpose of this is? Do you wan this displayed on-wiki?

But, you're right. Getting the number of characters each user has contributed to a page isn't easy. You would have to track modifications made by each user and be able to say whose edit produced which character.

It would be hard, but not impossible. It is possible that you already know how to do this and are just asking for help with the MediaWiki bits.

If this problem just involved different versions of texts with each version being the result of some individual's editing work, would you be able to trace who had contributed each character?
