Hi all,
I've been directed here by Brion, Robchurch and others on #wikimedia-tech.
So I propose a new feature for Wikipedia which people on
#wikimedia-tech mostly refer as blame page or blame map. I would
prefer to call it something like "Track contributions mode" (because
of similarity with MS Word track changes mode) or "Hall of fame" but
whatever. I have live prototype written in PHP&MySQL at
http://217.147.83.36:9000/ Example of "blame map" can be seen at
http://217.147.83.36:9000/history::171 two blame maps compared

Wow! That's cool and useful. I only ask myself how it scales with large
articles and dozen of editors. de:Benutzer:Jah / meta:user:Jah
implemented a similar function for offline use a year ago,[1] but you
script looks much more developed. With blame maps you can finally find
out who is responsible for which statement and directly ask him to cite
his sources :-) Can you add something to give a link to the normal
diff/edit where a specific paragraph was changed for the last time?
Thank you and greetings,
Jakob
