Topic on Talk:XTools

I very much like the EditCounter Tool but I would find it even more useful when one could calculate a "weighted article count", i.e. the summarized kilobytes of created article content.

There are authors who create lots of tiny articles (1-2 kb in size) and thus have an article count of several thousand. Other authors put some work into their articles which often have a much larger size.

The "kilobyte count" would be a helpful counterpart to the pure article count, which may be misleading when judging contributions. ~~~~

Hello! If it helps, you could use the Pages Created tool and sort by size (either original size or current size). We can add an "average size" column in the summary section. Would that help? Should it be averaging the original or current size?

Hello MusikAnimal, thanks for your answer. Of course an average size (showing the original size not what may have been added by other users) would be helpful – at least better than the current situation. Nevertheless I would still find it helpful to have a summary of all the created content in kilobytes. Currently we have a summary (the number of articles) but this does not realistically reflect the work a user has invested.

Oh, I think you mean a sum of the sizes of all pages. That we can do; we'll include both the sum and the average. I have created phab:T229578.

Yes, that's right, I would like to see a sum of my work (and that of other users) :).
