Hi Jim,
you have done this by coding a special page in php?

It's not hard to write a special page to do this. We made something to distinguish contributions by our staff (vast majority) from those made by our community users (very very few, alas):
http://ecoliwiki.net/colipedia/index.php/Special:User_contribution_statisticsThat page is a kludge where I've hard-coded in the userids to exclude and committed various other coding sins. But a cleaner version would be pretty easy to write... and I probably should work on a cleaner version. It could be useful, for example, for instructors to monitor the changes made by students in a class. But I'm fuzzy on what it
exactly! So how could this look like? I'm thinking about a functionality, e. g. if you use the following in a wiki page:
{{Special:RecentChangesUser/User1/User2/User3/...}}
or
<DPL> user=User1 user=User2 user=User3 user=... ordermethod=lastedit order=descending count=50 </DPL>
this should result in a page listening all the last edited pages from the given Users e. g. in the following form
page1 User2 date youngest page2 User2 date younger page3 User1 date young
I think this could be coded pretty quickly. 50 results total or 50 for each? The latter is going to run more slowly, I think.
