Discussion tracking

Changes to community discussions & key policy pages Contributions by User contributions to: User talk pages Article talk pages Category talk pages Appropedia talk pages

Usage

This template is meant to be placed on a user page or user talk page, as follows:

{{Discussion tracker}}

The top of your talk page is probably the most suitable place.

Note that the same functions can be served by clicking My contributions (or User contributions, if viewing another person's user page or talk page) and selecting from the Namespace drop-down menu. The advantages of this template are that:

it is slightly more convenient
it acts as a reminder to check past discussions
it is easier for people who are not deeply familiar with this aspect of wiki sites.

Issues

Note that the "talk pages" links on this template will not show changes to discussion pages which are not in a "talk": namespace (for example, this happens sometimes in Wikipedia, such as at Wikipedia:Village pump (assistance)).

Coding notes

Originally the User contributions function was used, taking the name of the user from the user talk page is was placed on. However, it didn't like spaces in usernames. The User_contributions function does the trick.
