Community Wishlist Survey 2017/Miscellaneous/Filter user contribution page by number of bytes changed

Filter user contribution page by number of bytes changed

  • Problem: It is difficult to identify "major" contributions of an editor, particularly if they are prolific editors and their edit history spans years and thousands of edits.
  • Who would benefit: Admins and editors reviewing user's contributions.
  • Proposed solution: Add a filter on user contribution pages to filter by the changes by number of bytes added/deleted. That way, for example, one could get a listing of user's contributions to the main space where they added more that 500 bytes.

edit
  • My tool mw:User:PerfektesChaos/js/resultListSort already offers sorting by page name/title of contributions.
    • As soon I find time I will extend this to sort contribution page alternatively back by date-time, by size, by summary.
    • Sorting is nearly the same as filtering but leaves the smaller number below. The page will be kept locally, but changes entry order as often as desired.
    • Note that this would work on existing result, not retrieving results from the server matching a condition.
    • There is already a filtering form, by namespace, by date, by minor, by current, by new accounts, by page creation. That might be extended by min/max size.
