Extension:Contributors/pt

The Contributors extension provides an includable special page which summarizes the most prominent contributors to an article. The page can be accessed as a normal special page, or included into other pages to provide an automated list, which is useful for attribution.

Usage
The list can be accessed as a conventional special page, or through inclusion into another page.

Special page
The special page is located at "Special:Contributors" and provides an interface to select an article. You can also access this page using the "main contributors" link in the toolbox when viewing an article; the results for that page will be shown.

Parameters

Output criteria
This extension lists "prominent contributors" to a page. The default behaviour will show all contributors, in order of number of edits, if the number of contributors is ten or less. Once the limit is hit, contributors with over two edits will continue to be listed. Contributors who are not listed are acknowledged as "X others".

These limits can be changed:


 * defines the "intelligent cut-off" limit (default )
 * defines the edit threshold for additional users (default )
