For some users the "Pages created" tool may still give a timely response even if they have over 350,000 edits. We should investigate what a better threshold would be for this tool, specifically, as the queries seem to faster than those for the Edit Counter.

@Dthomsen8: Do you plan to fix this yourself, as you set yourself as the assignee of this task?
If not, please read https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug and provide clear steps to reproduce the problem. Thanks!

This edit count limit is imposed to prevent long-running queries that would slow down XTools for everyone else. However the Pages Created tool in particular runs a bit faster than the Edit Counter, so we might be able to increase the limit -- or better, find a different system to gauge how expensive the query will be, since a high edit count doesn't always mean a slow query.
I have updated the task title/description accordingly.

In the meantime you can use Special:Contributions to see what pages you've created, though this includes redirects and lacks all the other fancy information: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?limit=50&title=Special:Contributions&contribs=user&target=Dthomsen8&namespace=0&newOnly=1

This is excellent for my purposes.

Look at
Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of edits
Only 49 of us above 350,00, and several of those are dummy placeholders. Can you change it to 400,000 now while looking into it?

Developer note: Some secrets might be found by looking at production queries, e.g. those used for https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&offset=&limit=500&contribs=user&target=Dr.+Blofeld&newOnly=1

Is there any discussion here any more about raising the count of edits for productive editors to see their Edit Count information? I could see all of my data until it reached 600,000 edits, then I was given permission to reach 650,000 edits and five months later I reached this ceiling. It is very useful to see the XTools information which I checked several times a day, both my editor counts and admin counts.
Is there any possibility you could raise the upper limit to 750,000 or even 1,000,000 edits? There can't be that many of us who are affected by this so I don't think the numbers are so high that it would "slow down" the system. XTools really provides invaluable information about ones editing and having that page reduced to a simple edit number is deflating. I'd like to restart this discussion if possible. Thank you.
