Summary: Feature request: Who submitted a specific bit of text?
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
BACKGROUND: Often users forget to sign their posts in talk pages, requiring
someone to hunt down the post in the history log and attribute the comment.
This is especially a pain when they've accidentally put the comment into the
article rather than the discussion page, or other high turnover situations.
PROPOSAL: It would be really useful to be able to somehow select a piece of
text and click a button (or whatever) that tells you who wrote that text. It
would be good if it provided a link to the appropriate history entry too.
POTENTIAL COMPLICATIONS: Sometimes even a single word has been edited by
multiple users (usually for typos). In that case, it would have to give you a
list of the users/changes and you could find the right one.
COMMENTS: Not a high priority feature request by any means, but it would make
the day-to-day administration of wikipedia (et al) easier.
Thanks.
