May 17, 2004 - There's a new experimental feature to help identify users who make changes to a page.
It's based on cookies.
Please let me know if things don't work as expected -jcw
WJR - Great idea. One small problem, at least for me: The confirmation page was output in plain text in my browser (Firefox on Solaris). Fixed, thx! -jcw
RS Although I like this feature, the presence of the IP number in the cookie worries me - logging in from home, AOL gives me a different IP# every time (172.x.y.z), so my cookie might get stale too soon... But I'll try it from work.
rmax I suggest to make the initials/nickname a link in the recent changes list, if a wiki page of the same name exists. And now that we have the information, "by <nickname>" could be added to the "Updated ..." info on the pages themselves.
