'Last active' timestamp

Hi, could the popup display the month of the editor's last activity?

Use case: when an edit needs clarification or review, which is the raison d'être of WWT, the first step is to contact the author. Last active Oct 2023 is a go while something like Last active Jan 2009 is a no-brainer directing me to later editors. With a little help of magic words the locales for the month names will not pose too much of an headache I hope; otherwise the month number will do of course.

Thanks a lot for your howcouldilivewithoutit tool! Bertux (talk) 19:18, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Has the extension disappeared from the Chrome Web Store?

Having neglected to properly set up my Chrome app on my MacBook earlier, while in the middle of editing to get citations formatted properly on Wikipedia through Safari, I've opened up Chrome and found WWT wasn't in my extensions. I looked on the Chrome Web Store and even though it still shows up as a search result, clicking the link throws up a 404 error. WWT is still there on the Firefox Browser Add-Ons page, so what happened to the Chrome Web Store listing? Has it been taken down for some reason? Hullian111 (talk) 16:16, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Please remove the popup

It obstructs the page every time I open a Wikipedia page. 89.245.206.250 12:34, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

Supporting non-article namespaces

I noticed the tool is limited to the main (article) namespace, but I often want to use it in the Wikipedia namespace in order to see when was a certain part of a guideline text added. People usually monitor changes in policies rather strictly, but I've noticed guidelines get rewritten without that much oversight. It'd be very useful to actually know whether a guideline is long-standing, or just the result of a random bad rewrite from last year.

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T333038 is a request to enable WWT for all namespaces, but nobody's reacted much to that.

Are there significant technical obstacles to analyzing page history in other namespaces? --Joy (talk) 13:09, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
