Hi again,
Has anyone ever implemented a trail of pages visited? I would like to do a floating trail which opens in a new mini window and keeps track of last ten visits a user makes?
Any ideas or examples anyone can refer me to?
Thanks, Alison

Yup, I wrote a small extension that does something very similar some weeks ago. It's not in a mini window though, but you can adapt it. http://public.kitware.com/Wiki/User:Barre/Extensions/kw_bread_crumbs

Sebastien, cool ! This is one of the little features of Socialtext (for instance) that I'd like to see us incorporate. Yes, it is very helpful in keeping track of where you've been that day.

I am not sure at all this is a good idea. It might conflict with our (yet to be born) privacy policy.
Why do you want such a feature ?

I have not the time and knowlegde to do this now... maybe later...
Maybe a hacker would do this ;-) : it should be implemented using a cookie to store the trail and a javascript to read and display it.
No, it should not be done at all.
I don't want you seeing that I viewed [[double-sided dildo]] prior to viewing [[GAU-17]].
Why in the hell would you want this other than a blatant disregard of somebody else's privacy?

And how would you view that ? Of course it should not be implemented server-side, that would be dumb, but client-side, as a cookie/session (like I did in my extension). And you should have a choice to disable it.

As some others answered : 1) I never requested this for wikipedias, nor for mediawiki software, but it may be useful in some private mediawiki installations. This can also be useful on wikipedia as long as such a feature does not break anybody's privacy. 2) With this technical solution (javascript + cookie), i thought it was possible to respect this privacy
BTW, keep cool, i have never and will never dictate what wikimedia community must do :)

Presumably for wikis not run by Wikimedia?
Even on Wikipedia it would provide interesting and useful data, if the user were not identified.
