The UserDailyContribs extension was developed specifically to be run as part of the Beta rollout (of the Vector skin and page editor enhancements in 2010) on Wikimedia wikis; it may or may not be useful to third-party users. The extension can of course be run on non-WMF wikis, but documentation is very limited.

It:

• Adds a table user_daily_contribs, which it updates on ArticleSaveComplete.
• Provides getUserEditCountSince function. Extension:ClickTracking uses this to log user edits in the last 1, 3, and 6 months.
• Provides an API to "Get the total number of user edits, time of registration, and edits in a given timeframe", example http://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=userdailycontribs&user=WikiSysop&daysago=5

Installation

• Download and extract the files in a directory called UserDailyContribs in your extensions/ folder. If you're a developer and this extension is in a Git repository, then instead you should clone the repository.
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:

require_once( "$IP/extensions/UserDailyContribs/UserDailyContribs.php" );

• Run the update script which will automatically create the necessary database tables that this extension needs.
• Done! Navigate to "Special:Version" on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
