  6. Your edit count should appear!

The code edit

//Interiot's javascript edit counter
importScript('User:Interiot/Tool2/code.js'); 

Troubleshooting edit

  • The back-up edit counter doesn't seem to currently work with Internet Explorer, although it should be fixed soon. In the meantime, you can get Firefox or ask someone else to check for you.
  • If all you see is a bunch of code, make sure you followed the directions carefully.
  • If you try to count the edits of a user with a lot of edits (4000 or more), your browser might freeze and/or display warnings about the script taking too long. This is because the script, instead of relying on the Toolserver, harvests the data directly from your contribs, which can take a really long time.
  • If you're still experiencing problems, please let Interiot know.
