== How do you find out your total number of edits? ==

Okay, I admit it, I'm a dummy. I know there must be some way of figuring out what your total number of edits is, but, erm, I can't get there. Help!

:You have to count them, but there's a trick to doing it quickly. Go to that URL. Notice the bolded 50 there. Change that number higher to go further back into your contributions. That will let you count them. So if you think you've done 3,000 edits, you can count them quickly rather than paging through all of them. 
:I started out by putting in 500 and it was blank. That means you haven't made 500 yet. I started going back in incriments of 50 until I got to 150, where it listed 3. Therefore, you have 153 edits. [[User:Raul654|→Raul654]] 15:59, Jun 19, 2004 (UTC)
