User:Nx/Extensions/Editcount/doc

The Editcount extension provides a special page to get any user's edit count. It can also show a breakdown of edits for each namespace and list editors with the most edits.

Special page
The special page is located at Special:Editcount. It can accept a username as a wiki-style paramter, e.g. Special:Editcount/Nx. When both the username and the cutoff number are specified, the username takes precedence. Clicking on a username in the top users list will display the statistics for that user.

The edit count does not include deleted contributions, so it may be different than the edit count displayed on Special:Preferences.

Api
The mediawiki api already provides several ways to get a user's edit count, e.g. with action=query&list=users (although this seems to be the incorrect number from Special:Preferences). The extension adds the activeusers query to get the top users. Further documentation is available from api.php.
