Is there some way to find all the times a given user has ever posted on another user's talk page? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots04:11, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't that more of a help desk kind of question? --Viennese Waltz 05:20, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Could be. I'll try there. Thanks! ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots05:25, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The "editorinteract" tool may be useful. You input the names of the editors you are interested in and it links to their edits noting the time difference between the edits of the different editors. Alternatively, you can check the revision history of the relevant user talk page, which doesn't take long. 2A00:23C5:E161:9200:80BA:5D7D:BDC5:5EAA (talk) 12:18, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Probably still easier, use Special:Contributions/Example (substitute user name for "Example") and under Search for contributions, select Namespace: User talk and press  Search  . Ignore edits of User talk:Example.  --Lambiam 13:58, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you all, for your help. I'm specifically trying to find where SamuelRiv and I have ever interacted, since he claims we have, but I don't remember it. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots15:45, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The two of you have contributed to the same discussions, e.g. recently at WP:RD/H#One of my favorite goals, WP:RD/M#Dark-skinned mixed black-white people and WP:RD/S#Cat. But there are also several older instances at the Ref Desk talk page, such as Wikipedia talk:Reference desk/Archive 72#Attacking the OP, Wikipedia talk:Reference desk/Archive 72#Delete banned user question, Wikipedia talk:Reference desk/Archive 73#Troll or dwarf at work, Wikipedia talk:Reference desk/Archive 73#Purpose creep, Wikipedia talk:Reference desk/Archive 73#Fixing grammar, general bitterness, Wikipedia talk:Reference desk/Archive 81#EDITABLE responses, Wikipedia talk:Reference desk/Archive 88#Deleted question about American English. And then there was this, which you promptly reverted and then apparently forgot all about.  --Lambiam 18:45, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for digging up that old stuff from 12-14 years ago, however you got it. Most of it happened to be in the same section, though not much direct interaction, so the user name did not stick with me. Likewise for the stuff from the last few days, until he started coming after me for reasons that remain unclear. As for the 2022 item, I don't recall it, but probably the vague nature of it (similar to his recent comments) led me to figure it was not worth spending my time on. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots19:14, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm also thinking maybe this belongs on the ref desk talk page instead of here, but that's up to you all. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots19:17, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
