Overview
When IP addresses are replaced by temporary accounts, the Global User Contributions (GUC) tool and several others, will no longer be fit for purpose. We need to provide patrollers with cross-wiki patrolling tools (such as GUC), in order to assist their work in reducing cross-wiki vandalism and abuse on Wikimedia wikis.
Goal
Build a global user contributions feature in a special page
User stories
As a cross-wiki patroller with permission to view IP addresses, I want to continue to see contributions made by single IPs, IP ranges, temporary accounts, and registered accounts across all wikis, so that I can patrol effectively.
Design specs
- Users with permission to view IPs, will find the GUC tool on a special page.
- Users will be able to input a registered account name, temporary username, IP address or IP range and search for global contributions.
- Users will see a table or list of results, which they can sort by wiki or by date.
- All results (from all time) are displayed (up to a limit which is TBD).
