== Opening heading==
This is a really good idea, but it has a flaw:  It doesn't work for usernames that include spaces.  {{editcount|NSR}}works fine.{{editcount|Sonic_Mew}}doesn't.Note that [http://kohl.wikimedia.org/~kate/cgi-bin/count_edits?user=Sonic+Mew&dbname=enwiki it works] when manually typing a User name into the edit counter.Leaving the space in creates this: {{editcount|Sonic Mew}}, and leaving it out won't do much good either: {{editcount|SonicMew}}-[[User:Sonic Mew|Sonic Mew]] July 9, 2005 18:08 (UTC)

: It has to do with the whole underscore thing. --[[User:AllyUnion|AllyUnion]] [[User talk:AllyUnion|(talk)]] 00:20, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

== Updated code - working again :) ==

{{tlx|Editprotected}}
I've rewritten this code. The wannabe_kate tool seems to be down permanently since late 2008. (I see that [[User:Interiot]] left in December 2007). The new code uses the soxred93 tool. Functionality in the new code is identical to before but has been extended to allow a custom link text. The issue mentioned above is also fixed. The result of the update will be a resumption of normal service for editors currently using the template, bug fixes compared to the old code and an extension of functionality.

The new code is:

:<code><nowiki>[http://toolserver.org/~soxred93/count/index.php?name={{urlencode:{{{1}}}}}&lang={{CONTENTLANGUAGE}}&wiki=wikipedia {{{2|Edit count for {{{1}}}}}}]</nowiki></code>

An administrator will need to make this chance since the template is locked. <s>The new code can be seen from my sandbox for now:</s>

== More parameters ==

Hi. Can this template allow more parameters? I mean language and family. I would like to link to users in other projects. Thanks. [[User:Emijrp|emijrp]] ([[User talk:Emijrp|talk]]) 17:55, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

{{Tlx|editprotected|answered=no}}
Could someone wrap the template in <code><nowiki><span class="plainlinks">...</span></nowiki></code>? The result would look something like this:

<span class="plainlinks">[http://toolserver.org/~soxred93/count/index.php?name={{urlencode:{{{1}}}}}&lang={{CONTENTLANGUAGE}}&wiki=wikipedia Edit count for {{{1}}}]</span>

--<span style="text-shadow:gray 0.2em 0.2em 0.1em" class="texhtml">[[User:Σ|<span style="color:#BA0000;">Σ</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Σ|<span style="color:#036;">talk</span>]]</sup><sub style="margin-left:-3.5ex">[[Special:Contributions/Σ|<span style="color:#036;">contribs</span>]]</sub></span> 00:38, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

== Spaces in template don't work ==

When using spaces in the template (such as {{Editcount|Jimbo Wales}}), the spaces will be replaced by a plus instead of the correct %20. [[User:Dudhhr|Dudhhr]] ([[User talk:Dudhhr|talk]]) 02:55, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

{{edit template-protected|answered=yes}}
Please replace <nowiki>{{urlencode:{{{1}}}}}</nowiki> with <nowiki>{{urlencode:{{{1}}}|PATH}}</nowiki> so that the template uses the correct %20 required in the URL as a substitute for a space.

== Edit Counter Template displaying a # ==

Is there a template that displays the # of edits a User has made?
