Editing Help:User contributions (section)

===Accessing===
* '''Your own contributions page'''. To access your own user contributions page, click the drop down labelled with a person icon at the top right corner of the page. Then click <kbd>{{int:mycontris}}</kbd>. An alternative is to type in the Search box: <kbd>[[Special:MyContributions]]</kbd>.
* '''Another registered user's contributions page'''. To access the contributions of a [[Help:Logging in|logged-in]] user (named account), go to the [[WP:USERPAGE|user page]] (e.g., <samp>[[User:Example]]</samp>) and click on the <kbd>User contributions</kbd> link listed under the <kbd>Tools</kbd> menu. This works even if the user page has not been created yet (i.e., an edit box displays).
* '''Contributions of an IP address'''. To access the contributions of a [[Wikipedia:Anonymous user|logged-out user]] (who is, {{as of|2024|lc=y}}, identified by [[IP address]]), use one of the following methods:
:* Just like with a registered user, you can go to the user page (e.g. <samp>User:IP number</samp>) and click on the <kbd>User contributions</kbd> link listed under the <kbd>Tools</kbd> menu.
:* Click on the IP address where it appears on your watchlist, in [[Help:Recent changes|Recent changes]] or in [[Help:Page history|Page history]].
:* Put the IP address in the [[Help:Searching#Search box|search box]] and press Go.
:* If the user is currently [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked]], a notice will be displayed at the very top of the contributions screen, [[Special:Contributions/Blocked user|like this example]].

Bear in mind that a public IP address may have been used by different users at different times. Equally, a given user may have used multiple IP addresses and/or usernames (which may well be illegitimate use of multiple accounts, or "[[WP:Sockpuppetry|sockpuppetry]]"). Where a user [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppetry#Legitimate uses|legitimately uses alternative accounts]], the alternative accounts should be clearly identified by the user. In any case, each account or IP address will have its own contributions page.
