Contribs ranger is a user script for generating links to a limited set (range) of user contributions (aka contribs), a user's logged actions, or of edits of particular page. This is useful when you want to link to a result of using mass-edit tools, like JWB, Cat-a-lot, massMover, etc.

How to install

[edit]

On English Wikipedia it is recommended to install this script using the script-installer gadget, which can be turned on at:

Preferences → Gadgets → Advanced → Tick Install scripts without having to manually edit JavaScript files (documentation) (direct link)

Then you can go back to this page and click the big blue "Install" button in the infobox.

To install the script on another wiki (including your global.js), use the following snippet:

mw.loader.load('https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=User:Andrybak/Scripts/Contribs_ranger.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');

Instructions
