Old edits (DE:WP)

Hi, I'm astonished how far back this finds information:

https://xtools.wmcloud.org/ec/de.wikipedia/Heribert3?uselang=de

I'd like to search in my contributions history in DE:WP about Higgs years ago, but no hit. Any hints, please? Heribert3 (talk) 03:35, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

Support for Fandom wikis?

Hi, is it possible to extend this tool to Fandom wikis? I'm very active there and have been very eager to see the statistics of my edits. Thanks! Harmoniker666 (talk) 10:24, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

We hope to bring back third party support eventually, though it is admittedly a low priority. You can follow phab:T344090 for updates. Getting it to work for Fandom however might be a real challenge. I understand they use a fork of MediaWiki and custom tailor extensions and services to work for it. The engineering team would likely need to do the same for XTools. — MusikAnimal ^talk 14:32, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for replying. The link seems very technical so not sure how I should "follow" it? Harmoniker666 (talk) 10:07, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

Bug with blocks?

For a user that's indeffed at enwp since January ([1][2]), xtools reports 3 blocks (instead of 5), with longest 6 days and current none. Looks as if it wasn't aware of the last two blocks. Two months seems to me to be too long to be replag's fault. — Alien  3

Feature Request: Edtorship over Time for any given page

Thank you by the way for creating XTools it's really excellent and I'm so happy that something like it exists.

Goal/Purpose: see if any specific editors were disproportionately influential as (% of edits in a year) in a page's lifetime.

Edits are already shown as a barchart by year. Perhaps a stacked bar chart (every year adds up to 100% but broken down proportionately by contributing editor). For many pages, this may be useless as there are very many editors and not single one dominating, but for some it may be interesting to see. Greengiraffe89 (talk) 09:14, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

Link to Liquid Soul

Link is incorrect. 2003:CF:E73A:99B5:4574:BE18:3963:F757 21:31, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

Can you give precisions? — Alien  3

Wrong move count?

Going by my en:Special:Logs/move/CX Zoom, I have 2068 moves, even quarry:query/93856 agrees. XTools only counts 1505. In fact, I have moved several hundreds of pages since yesterday, but my move count barely moved. I remember it was 1400-something before the moves. —‍CX Zoom (A/अ/অ) (let's talk|contribs) 19:21, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

Bug found; mw gives a different log_action for moves over redirects; we were only counting move/move as opposed to move/move_redir. Left T396216 and pull request that fixes. — Alien  3

Thank you for figuring it out. I hope it gets merged soon. —‍CX Zoom (A/अ/অ) (let's talk|contribs) 19:59, 14 June 2025 (UTC)

I'm doing a lot of PRs these days; but it'll probably get deployed in at most a few releases. — Alien  3

Now merged; will go out in next deployment. — Alien  3

Time Card local time

In the Time Card there is a "Use local time instead of UTC" checkbox. Does it show edits in my local time or the user's local time? In the Xtools User Documentation I did not find a section for Time Card. Jay (talk) 02:40, 18 September 2025 (UTC)

@Jay It would be your timezone. I have updated the documentation to clarify this. — MusikAnimal ^talk 21:54, 18 September 2025 (UTC)

Not all assessments types are supported

Hello, thanks a lot for the tool, it's very useful ! There is an issue that I found though. On the "pages created" page, there is an assessment column that can hold different values (in English : stub, start, C, list, etc/in French : ébauche, BD, B, ec). The "homonymie" value that can be found on disambiguation pages on French Wikipedia (for instance here) is not transfered to the assessment column in "pages created" (for instance my page with the same disambiguation page on line 9 with "unknown" as assessment). I don't know if it is an easy fix ? But it would be helpful to know which pages are not yet evaluated and which are already evaluated. Thank you in advance for your answer ! Sincerely, TTSolitaire (talk) 12:36, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

Bonjour. Ceci est du à la manière dont les modèles d'évaluation (au sens les bandeaux de PDD) de FRWP fonctionnent. Ils ne marquent une page comme ayant une certaine évaluation que si au moins un Projet est marqué. Par exemple, {{Wikiprojet|avancement=homonymie}} ne marche pas mais {{Wikiprojet|Homonymie||avancement=homonymie}} marcherait. XTools ne peut pas trouver cette évaluation, tout simplement parce que le modèle ne la rend pas accessible dans la base de données.

Si le Projet Homonymie de FRWP n'est pas contre utiliser des choses à la {{Wikiprojet|Homonymie|N/A|avancement=homonymie}}, ça serait une solution. J'ai l'impression (au premier regard) que telle n'est pas la pratique.

L'autre solution serait peut-être de modifier le code pour, par exemple, que sur des PDD ne possédant qu'une évaluation "Homonymie" sans projets, il mette tout de même dans la base de données un enregistrement de l'évaluation.

Je pourrais aider à essayer d'implémenter la deuxième idée, si nécessaire. — Alien  3

Dead links on this page

All or most of the links titled "link" in the "User documentation" section of this page are 404. They lead to a page called "Oh noes!". Jonesey95 (talk) 20:58, 31 October 2025 (UTC)
