For global contributions, you may wish to use https://xtools.wmflabs.org/globalcontribs since it supports IP ranges. But for single IPs, some may prefer GUC. On that note, ideally we'd expose these links with an interface message so that the community can change them as desired.

@AGueyte If we are setting the XTools URL in the translations file, the URL will depend on the user's interface language. But shouldn't it depend on the current wiki? For example, if you are looking up an IP on frwiki the link to xtools should always be https://xtools.wmflabs.org/ec/fr.wikipedia.org/$ip.

@AGueyte I guess Xtools should be XTools here.

Hi, @dom_walden that's good feedback, pinging @Prtksxna and @MusikAnimal for their input.

I think Dom is right. Since we're using GUC for global, it'd make sense to have the wiki you're on to be the one you see in XTools.

[mediawiki/extensions/WikimediaMessages@master] IPInfo: Use parameters for links to external tools from Special:Contributions

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/812367

@dom_walden @Prtksxna Thanks - the latest patch should build the XTools URL with the correct wiki. (Using i18n messages for the tools is a bit of a hack, to allow users to customize which tools they use, since messages are configurable.)

If I may, I see ipinfo-xtools-url on rEWME extension-WikimediaMessages is being hardcoded to use https://xtools.wmflabs.org/ec/en.wikipedia.org/$1, however this returns results only for contributions done at en.wikipedia.org, so other users from e.g. meta.wikimedia.org or es.wikibooks.org won't get any. While this message can be customised locally, doing so for hundreds of wikis does not seem practical. I think this would be fixed changing the message to https://xtools.wmflabs.org/ec/{{SERVERNAME}}/$1. Thanks.

Thanks @MarcoAurelio - this should be fixed by https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/WikimediaMessages/+/812367/

As it looks on enwiki beta:

The URL for "Global contributions is https://xtools.wmflabs.org/globalcontribs/<ip> (the URL suggested in T311031#8021060).

The URL for "XTools" is:

• on enwiki beta https://xtools.wmflabs.org/ec/en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/<ip>
• on arwiki beta https://xtools.wmflabs.org/ec/ar.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/<ip>

So I assume that on enwiki production (for example) it will be https://xtools.wmflabs.org/ec/en.wikipedia.org/<ip>.
