Welcome to the WikiProject for [[WP:TOOL|tools]] and edit counters. Our goal is to organize and coordinate the various efforts at creating edit counters and statistics tools. Our primary purpose is to give Wikipedians more tools at analyzing their own edits and others' edits. We primarily strive to offer alternative viewpoints of one's contributions. We are not promoting the use of statistics to judge someone's appropriateness or suitability for any positions; quite the contrary.  We are just getting started. Please feel free to join and help us.

==List of counters==
{{shortcut|WP:WK}}
===Wikipedia compatible edit counter and page counters===
* Your own edit count is displayed on '''[[Special:Preferences]]''' under ''View your global account info''. This count includes [[Wikipedia:Glossary#Deleted edit|deleted edits]].
* The ''View global account info'' as well as ''Edit count '' may be accessed through the ''Contributions'' tab (features then found at the bottom of the page).
* The edit count of any user can be viewed at the top of the '''[[Special:Contributions]]''' page. This is the same count that is displayed in [[Special:Preferences]].
* [https://tools.wmflabs.org/guc/?user= Global user contributions beta] displays edit counts for all Wikimedia projects your account has edited on.
* '''[[Special:CentralAuth]]''' displays edit counts for every wiki your account has edited on.
* [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/ec XTools Edit Counter],  edit count for a user.  Full-featured editor analysis tool.
* [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/topedits XTools Top Edits],  Edit count for a user. View the edits for an editor on a particular page.  
* [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/pages XTools Pages Created], view the pages created by a user, including deleted pages.
* [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/autoedits XTools Auto Edits], view automated or non-automated edits by a given user.
* [[toollabs:sigma/created.py|Pages created]] another tool lists pages created by a user, maintained by Sigma on Labs.

;Other counters 
* <s>[[toollabs:supercount/index.php|User Analysis Tool]], maintained and written by [[User:Cyberpower678|Cyberpower678]].</s> Redirects to the XTools edit counter.
* [[toollabs:dewkin|Deep Wiki Inspector]] by [[User:Ricordisamoa|Ricordisamoa]], shows a wide range of information, from edit count to times edited and map. (This tool does not report accurate edit counts.)
* [http://en.wikiscan.org/users Wikiscan]

===Non-Wikipedia compatible edit counter and page counters===
* Benjamin Peterson's [[mw:Extension:MW-EditCount|Special:EditCount extension]] which has been archived. View the edit count of a user per namespace
* Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason's [[mw:Extension:Editcount|Special:Editcount extension]] (not on Wikipedia, on [[memoryalpha:Special:Editcount/Angela|some Fandom wikis]]).

===Independent edit counters===
These counters are unaffected by replication lag.
*http://en.wikichecker.com/ : <s>Wikipedia-independent site that shows user editcount, editing time trends, namespace trends, and other things with graphs/charts. Uses API. Also has tools for the entire Wikipedia and specific articles. It still works most of the time, but one needs to be patient (and hit refresh multiple times). You may get an error message, but refresh a few times and it will likely work. </s>
*<s>Kate's tool, superseded by Interiot's tool [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Kate%27s_Tool&oldid=78105538]</s>
**<s>[[tools:~interiot/cgi-bin/Tool1/wannabe_kate|Interiot's edit counter, external website, nothing to install, written in perl]] (aka Tool1, wannabe_kate) ([[:Image:Interiot's Tool.png|screenshot]]) – Times out with large edit counts.</s> – no longer working
*<s>[http://gtools.org/tool/wikipedia-edit-counter/ Stable edit counter – many projects, updated to use native API over query.php]</s>
*[[Wikipedia:WikiProject edit counters/Flcelloguy's Tool|Flcelloguy's Tool v5.20]] ([[:Image:Flcelloguy's Tool UI.PNG|screenshot]]), a Java version of Interiot's tool that does not require the Toolserver's database to be running. ''IMPORTANT: Versions prior to the current release (v5.20) will not work''.
**The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject edit counters/Java Sandbox|Java Sandbox]], where we are all playing with code for future versions.
**The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject edit counters/Flcelloguy's Tool/Versions|version table]] where coders can check if they are running or debugging the latest version of the editcounter by checking the version of their source code components.
**[[Wikipedia:WikiProject edit counters/Flcelloguy's Tool/Help|Help page]] for the Tool.
*[[User:AmiDaniel/EditCounter|AmiDaniel's EditCounter]]. "''I needed an easy way to query the number of mainspace edits of users requesting permission to use [[User:AmiDaniel/VandalProof|VandalProof]], and as the toolserver's down and Flcelloguy's tool takes too long to do this, I wrote a quick little edit counter to do what I need. With it you can set the number of edits to query (up to 5000) and the namespace to query, which makes retrieval of edit counts much faster for restricted searches (i.e. I typically query mainspace edits with a limit of 500).''"
*<s>[[User:Interiot/Tool2|Interiot's external javascript edit counter]] (aka Tool2) ([http://paperlined.org/apps/wikipedia/Tool2/Interiot2.png screenshot]), currently works with Mozilla and others; does not work with MSIE</s> – This counter doesn't currently work. (says so right on the page)
*[[User:Gargaj|Gargaj]]'s [http://umlaut.intro.hu/~gargaj/temp/wikipedia-edit-counter-scraper.phps PHP edit-counter], a rough port of the above perl version; PHP-source to run from your own server. Warning: uses web-scrape methods – please only use infrequently to avoid unnecessary traffic on both the Wiki and your own server.
<!-- *[http://countervandalism.org/Count.php Essjay's EditCount], back from hiatus, hosted on countervandalism.org, faster than ever! Retrieves data from Special:Contributions, never lags a second! (No limitation on number of edits) -->
*<s>[[User:Lupin/editcount.js|Lupin's javascript counter]] which uses [[User:Yurik/Query API|query.php]] to download all of a user's contributions without screen-scraping </s>([[:Image:editcount.png|screenshot]])
*[[User:Voice_of_All/UsefulJS#History_and_Edit_Summary_Use_Analysis_.28Requires_Addtab.29|Voice of All's JS edit counter]]. Adds history page stats too.
*[[User:Ais523/editcount | Ais523's javascript]] (only counts 5000 edits in each namespace. Can also generate random diffs, count up to 5000 log actions, and show a display of what times and what weekdays a user tends to edit at/on.)
*<s>[[tools:~tangotango/milestone.php|Milestone]] finds the ''nth'' edit of an editor</s> – No longer working (account expired) Checked 2010-07-22
* <s>[[tools:~emijrp/contador.php|WikiFORJA Counter]]</s> (checks server count on a variety of Wikimedia wikis) – no longer working (checked 2009-09-15)
*[http://wikipedia-user-score-bot.appspot.com/ Cfp's User Score Bot] Google appspot based "counter" that assigns a score to edits, 365 for an edit today, 364 for one yesterday, etc. etc.
*[[User:Kanegasi/editcounter|Kanegasi's JS edit counter]]. Originally made by [http://strategywiki.org/wiki/User:Najzere/edit_counter.js Najzere of strategywiki.org], this version is significantly revised and built upon. It uses the wiki API to query and count contributions and creates a table in your userspace. It is used by clicking a link under the "User contributions" link in the sidebar. It should be usable on any MediaWiki install version 1.18 or greater. You can see a full example on my [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/User:Kanegasi/edit_count Minecraft Wiki edit count].
*<s>[http://wikidashboard.appspot.com/ WikiDashboard], a tool that can analyze a user's edit patterns as well as the editors of a page. ''(Now with live data for every page)''</s>
*[[toollabs:ricordisamoa/dui|Deep User Inspector]] by [[User:Ricordisamoa|Ricordisamoa]], has lots of other information on editors as well. (This tool does not report accurate edit counts.)
*http://content.paragram.org/wpuser/ is the successor of WikiChecker, though it does not allow the user to analyze a specific number of most recent edits
====Action counters====
*[[User:JamesR/AdminStats|Counts of administrative actions]]

==Technical information==
* [[/Internationalization]], describing how to adapt edit counters to Wikipedia sites from other languages, especially for [[Screen scraping|HTML-scraping]] tools
* [//en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php Api.php] ([//en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=usercontribs&ucuser=YurikBot&format=jsonfm example]) provides an [[Application Programming Interface]] to retrieve contribution histories that is preferable to scraping [[Special:Contributions]]
