I've created a new userbox in which you can place the number of edits you have contributed to Uncyclopedia. Here it is in all of its glory:

1+

This user has over 1 edit.

1+

To be honest, I copied the code from Wikipedia. To use it simply type in {{User editcount|numberofeditshere}}. --General Insineratehymn 01:03, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Do we have one of those tools like Wikipedia has? The kind that counts your edits for you?   t o m p k i n s  blah. ﺞوﻦ וףה ՃՄ ண்ஸ ފއހ วอฏม +տ trade websites 02:01, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

I'd be fine with it even if it just said "This user has 1+ edits" because it would always be right! -- » Sir Savethemooses Grand Commanding Officer ... holla atcha boy» 05:44, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm sure we could find a way to install it. I'm looking for some plugins myself. Crazyswordsman...With SAVINGS!!!! (T/C) 05:44, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

It would also be invariably funny if it said that. » Brig Sir Dawg | t | v | c » 08:51, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

I remember seeing such a template here a while back, and I think I even have it on my old userpage. As for counting your edits, go to my contribs, hit show 500, hit next, hit next, hit next... then your edit total = (the amount of pages - 1) * 500 + Rough estimate of edits on last page. Aside from that, I don't think there's any realistic method. --User:Nintendorulez 19:59, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, there is whatever way Wikipedians do it. They have pages where you type in your username and it counts your edits. Not that I really care how many edits I have. There is also the Wikia stats page (I lost the link but it was floating around IRC recently) which has the top couple Uncyclopedia users sorted by edits. --The Zombiebaron 01:53, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Why can't every Wiki just come with these tools? Crazyswordsman...With SAVINGS!!!! (T/C) 03:40, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

As of December 14th, the production version of the software now supports a user edit count field in the database (see this). Hopefully by the time we (Wikia) upgrade there'll be a way to access this information. --Splaka 08:09, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Because that would make everything too easy --KWild 03:55, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I actually host one of those edit counters for Wikipedia; I think I can make a copy and have it do edit counts here. I'll work on that and let you guys know as soon as I have something. The Essjay (Go away) 16:09, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Holy shit! 9500 edits!. I really should get out more.--Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 14:02, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Heh, cool — H. Peebles - D - HS 09:01, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Strange, according to Wikia stats page you have about 7000. Wikia updates very frequently, but maybe they are not counting all namespaces.---Asteroid B612 (aka Rataube) - Ñ 19:41, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Another way to do it is to go to your contributions page, hit show 500 and then edit your address bar. Change the limit=500 part to some other number. Keep increasing the number until everything fits on one page. Backtrack a little bit until it just barely overflows to the second page, count how many are on the second page and add to your limit number. Sadly, the limit maxes out at 5000 so if you've got more edits than that you'll have to be clever (divide by two and try again, etc.). --Sir gwax (talk) 07:48, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I made it default to 1, and fixed the grammar for when the edit count is 1. Just in case you care. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 09:20, 5 Jan 2007
