I recently had a user ask me how he would get his name on the Special:Top/community page. I don't have a clue. As a special page, it's going to be updated by the program itself. But this user has made several contributions and still doesn't even appear on the list. Is it no longer being updated? --JCoug 20:22, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
- Im not sure but if i remember well that works with the total of edits done... so if there are users that have more edits he will not appear until later -- 20:50, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
- Also keep in mind, its not (pretty sure) sorted by edit count anymore (code changes made some tables go away). Its harder to tell when you go to the special page, because it loads 25, but when used in the menu with the right special #flag# (which i cant remember, someone please edit this and fill in the right one), it only loads the top 7, so its easier to see who is 'top'. --Uberfuzzy

- Well, what it is showing is 14 users. On the Special:ListUsers page, it shows 18 users. If you sort by revisions, there's several that have shifted positions around. It's like the Special:Top/community page hasn't been updated since early April. --JCoug 22:07, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
- I believe the Topusers list only includes users who have created their user page (in an effort to keep prolific troublemakers off the list) -- if the user who wants to appear on the list is one of the ones with a red username on ListUsers, have him try creating his userpage. — Catherine (talk) 22:18, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
- The user in question is Viddy, and he does have a user page and a talk page. Good thought, though. --JCoug 22:44, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
