Editing Help:User contributions (section)

===Total edit count===
Your [[m:Help:Preferences#User_profile|Preferences page's User profile tab]] shows the total number of edits you have made in its <kbd>Basic information</kbd> section. The number is based upon an [[WP:Edit count|edit count]] that is stored for each user, incremented each time the user makes an edit, but not decremented when a user's edit is deleted. Therefore, the count includes deleted edits. It does not include [[Wikipedia:Moving a page|page moves]] from one title to another.

To find another user's edit count (for named users only, not IP addresses), type the following URL into your browser's address bar, replacing "XXX" with the name of the user:
*<code><nowiki>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=users&ususers=XXX&usprop=editcount</nowiki></code>

You can see copious editing statistics for any user or IP address at:
*[[xtools:ec]]
For named users, this is available from the "Edit statistics" link at the bottom of the user's contributions page.
A similar tool which displays only the edit count is:
*[[xtools:sc]]
These are among the tools at [[m:Toolforge|Toolforge]]. Some others of the tools there are also linked from the box at the bottom of a user's contributions page.

For a summary of a user's activity on [[Wikipedia:Languages|other language Wikipedias]] and [[Wikipedia:Wikimedia sister projects|other Wikimedia projects]], type the following URL (replacing "XXX" with the name of the user):
*<code><nowiki>https://tools.wmflabs.org/quentinv57-tools/tools/sulinfo.php?username=XXX</nowiki></code> (not working, 2021-10-13)
