Hello,
after using a couple of hours to google and search mediawiki.org and meta.wikimedia.org I can't find the needed informations (also I found a lot of not searched but nevertheless useful informations :-), I would like to ask the mailinglist.
I would be very happy, if I get a rtfm-url (in case I overlooked the information source).
We using mediawiki in our company with roundabout 300 employee as a collaboration platform. I'm especially interested in the work of my group (which consists of only 15 members from this 300).
So what I'm looking for is a functionality like
Special:Contributions/User1/User2/User3/.../User15
This works fine for only one user, but doesn't for more. Are there any hidden Special-Page or unknown syntax to address such a request?
In addition, I'm looking for possibilities for cleaning up the result pages a little bit. E. g. it's enough for me to see that User1 had edited pageX 29 times (or so), I don't need more details, for that, I could consult the edited page itself.
Hope, anybody could help?
Kind regards, Peter

There's no function to show the Contributions of any of n employees. You could however, have a page listing all the and view the changes to its pages (Special:RecentChangesLinked), or add them on your watchlist. I'm afraid the functionalities are based on pages, not on users.
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_statistic...
That 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 should look like.

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

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 ...
Kind regards, Peter
should look like.

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.

your right. 50 total might be good. If someone needs more, he could ask for more (e. g. count 100)
Hi Platonides,

thanks for your help!
Yes Special:RecentChangesLinked might be helpful. It is my plan, to have multiple startpages for multiple topics and use this pages in Special:RecentChangesLinked/startpage1 ...
Although, it seems to be not possible to have this as {{Special:RecentChangesLinked/startpage1}} so that multiple of this results in a page with everything, which have been changed.
Otherwise I had to click every [[Special:RecentChangesLinked/startpage1]], [[Special:RecentChangesLinked/startpage2]] ...
not very amusing ...
Another idea I had, is, to use categories in Special:RecentChangesLinked/categorie . But if someone forget using a categorie, it fails. Are there any way to force using a categorie for each new created page?
