Description:
It would be great if one could see the number of edits when a user is displayed,
similar to how eBay displays ratings.
E.g. instead of "Scott" show "Scott (543)" where the number is the editcount of
the user in the article namespace
This would give a quick idea about how much a certain user can be trusted not to
know the guidelines, not to make mistakes (like uploading copyrighted texts) or
bad faith edits.
It would be nice to have a switch and that would turn this on everywhere where
usernames are shown including:
- discussion pages
- the page history
- recent changes
- watchlists
Of course, a more sophisticated rating could be calculated ("karma") that would
take into account what other editors think of the user, has she committed policy
violations, etc but a simple editcount should be very easily implemented.
