XTools/Authorship/ja

The Authorship tool provides editor authorship attribution, measured by character count, excluding spaces. It is powered by the WikiWho algorithm.

From the form, you can get authorship stats from the latest revision of a page, or provide a revision ID or a date.

動作の仕組み
To get these statistics, we use an external service called WikiWho. It uses a token-based system in its algorithm. A token is generally a word or group of syntax. For example  can be broken into tokens for the brackets  and the word. Each can have its own author. So if the original author added, forgetting the outer brackets, the second editor gets attribution to the   and   tokens, but the first editor retains attribution to.

It sounds like could result in inaccuracies, but a gold standard test showed it to have 95% accuracy for English Wikipedia, and should in theory work for all wikis.

To make the system easier to understand, XTools incorporates the number of characters in the tokens in our figures.

要約

Authorship
This section lists each user by the number of characters they've added to the page. Only the top 10 are colorized in the graph, the rest appear as a gray color.
