Ability to see all contributors in list format?

Hi all, I'm very impressed by this browser extension, which is very useful for drilling down on who the primary contributors are on a given page. One thing that would be useful, however, which I can't see here, is a simple list of all the major contributors by their percentage of contributed text on the current page, in descending order. I assume that info is already being calculated only that you have to click individual passages to access it, one by one, at the moment. Cheers.

there are other tools that provide what you're seeking--in case you have not yet found them--here's a list:

Who Wrote That? works just fine for me on Data drilling and many other pages:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_drilling

XTools' Authorship section: seems to be just what you are requesting

https://xtools.wmflabs.org/authorship/en.wikipedia.org/Data%20drilling

Sigma had a variety of author relevant tools:

Article revision statistics shows the top 50 contributors

WikiHistory is also illuminating

Page Information also provides useful info along with links to external tools.

However, you might be asking yourself looks like these tools are reporting different editor counts and right now I do not have an answer.

@CmdrDan oh, nice, looks like XTools does exactly the thing I was after. Thanks for the response!

(Although having drilled down, I see it's by character count, presumably of Wikitext, which is better than nothing but not entirely what I had in mind; prose count is the more useful metric)
