Quick Mediawiki question

[asterroc]

In Mediawiki, is there a special page that lists which users have most/least contributions?

Hm, this one might help:

I don't know much about MediaWiki. If you needed a one-time report and could get me access to the underlying MySQL database, I could probably get you some stats. It's not as good as something that automatically updates, but you could tailor the info to your specifications and manually update a contribution page regularly.

The warning about deploying the extension on high-volume MediaWiki sites is probably well-founded. If these statistics aren't being incrementally compiled in aggregate, the extension is probably querying the entire changeset history. I'm guessing your wiki is small enough that this won't be a problem.

Definitely an interesting extension too. We could use it to motivate a competition.

Yeah, I don't think we need to worry about the high volume issue. Each year we have less than 30 contributors, with the most contributions happening over a 3-day period, and a small volume of contributions happening for a month or two to either say of that weekend. So I don't think that we'd need to worry about it. Besides, we could always have it run for the first time when we're not using the wiki/server actively and see what happens.
