Wikipedia use on a page? #23

Closed pcoughlin closed 10 years ago

pcoughlin commented 10 years ago

I have tried putting this code into my user page:

Editcount={{editcount}}

and received this output: Editcount=Edit count for {{{1}}}

Tried adding a parameter, like this:

{{editcount|user_name=xyzzy529}}

but had the same result.

I would like to use the editcount to subst: into the page and have a current update of the number each time I look at the page.

My goal is to do something like this:

{{Service award progress|year=2007|month=8|day=24|edits={{subst:editcount|user_name=xyzzy529}} }}

I don't think that's what it's for.

Paul, that template isn't designed for that. All that {{editcount|Cyberpower678}} does is link to https://tools.wmflabs.org/supercount/index.php?user=Cyberpower678&project=en.wikipedia.org. It's not supposed to show an actual number. AFAIK there's no way to do that automatically (except, I guess, for a bot). On Aug 28, 2014 5:35 PM, "Paul Coughlin" notifications@github.com wrote:

Actually Lucas, with the use of a Lua Module, it can be done. The supercount API is built for automated tasks.

Not to my knowledge.

FYI, the LiveEditCounter userbox uses a javascript function to access the API via XHR (Ajax) and get the edit count.

Also, User:PleaseStand's User info script uses a similar technique for the same effect.

cyberpower678 commented 10 years ago

I'm not sure exactly what the issue is? If your asking to use this edit counter's api, then yes.

Thanks waldyrious pointed me in a good direction. I used some of that code to get what I wanted.
