lastEdit.js mimics the banner at the foot of the mobile version of Wikipedia that lists the last edit made to the page. So it will tell you "Last edited 6 hours ago by Opencooper" for example. (this can be very useful for spotting vandalism and for seeing how active an article is) However since this is a userscript for the desktop I took some liberties in the implementation: the first part of the text links to a diff instead of the page history (since desktop actually has a history tab), the second part links to the user's contributions rather than their userpage, when you hover over the first link, the alt-text shows their edit summary, and the script also shows any tags that were added to the edit.
Installation
editTo install the script, add the following to your common.js page:
importScript('User:Opencooper/lastEdit.js'); // Backlink: [[User:Opencooper/lastEdit.js]]
Feedback
editPlease let me know if you have any feature requests or bug reports (along with your OS/browser/browser version, and whether you also have the metadata gadget enabled). I have not tested this script on Internet Explorer so feedback on whether it even works there would be appreciated. (due to the features used, a minimum of IE9 is likely required, and if you are also using the metadata gadget, IE 11 might be needed) Only the Vector skin on the English Wikipedia is supported.
