Hello folks,
I am happy to introduce you to the first version of WikiContrib https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikicontrib/. WikiContrib is a developer metrics tool which can be used to view a developer’s contributions on Phabricator and Gerrit. This tool was initially designed keeping a Wikimedia Hackathon scholarship committee in mind and with the hope that the tool will make it easier for them to decide on a candidate’s application. All community members can also use the tool to learn more about the contributions of fellow Wikimedians or discover their own!
I developed the WikiContrib tool as part of my Google Summer of Code project with guidance and support from my mentors Suchakra Sharma https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/p/Tuxology/ and Srishti Sethi https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/p/srishakatux/.
Here are some relevant links:
-
Tool is hosted on Toolforge https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikicontrib/ -
Source code is available on GitHub https://github.com/wikimedia/WikiContrib/ -
Link to my Phabricator proposal https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T220254 -
Learn how to use the tool https://wikicontrib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Usage.html
Try the tool, and if you encounter any bugs or have any feature requests, please file them in the GitHub repository! For anything else, you can comment on the Phabricator proposal.
Looking forward to your response!
Thanks, Rammanoj potla

Very cool tool!
IMO the usability could be improved a lot by removing the little red icon from the first row when it is the only one (it seems like some sort of "the fields are not filled out correctly" feedback when it is actually just a "delete row" button which does not make sense with just one row), and making the search button much more prominent compared to the other controls. Also maybe making it possible to search by pressing enter in one of the text fields.
It would be particularly awesome (but maybe hard?) to also count Gerrit comments/reviews/merges as contributions.
