Topic: [Feature] Search command that shows every posts edited by someone

Posted under Site Bug Reports & Feature Requests

Requested feature overview description.

A search command that would show every posts that were changed by someone with everything that makes the post changes go up, like sourcing, tagging, adding descriptions: postupdater:[username].

Why would it be useful?

Well, we already have commenter:[username] and noteupdater:[username], so I believe that a postupdater:[username] would help with:

  • Checking past mistags when someone wasn't that experienced with tagging.
  • Checking for bad cleanups, when someone forgets to remove implications of certain tags that they removed.
  • Checking changes that were done in a bunch of posts in a small amount of time for mistags and added invalid_tags, because of alias shenanigans.
  • It would be much easier to see how many posts someone changed, because as of now we can only see how many changes someone has done and a single post can have multiple changes that someone made.
What part(s) of the site page(s) are affected?
  • The search bar on posts.
  • The Cheatsheet should be updated to show this command.
  • The users profile would also display, at the statistics, the amount of posts updated in the same way comments and notes are displayed.

Note: It's been a while since I questioned if there was a command like that, as no one answered I'll suppose there isn't one and now I'm trying a request.

Search within https://e621.net/post_versions for this type of information. The main search system is already overloaded with too many fields.

Thank you for the fast response! The problem is that post changes doesn't show any kind of preview/thumbnails to see what is the post that was changed, so it gets hard to check for mistagging, etc... sometimes. But if it's currently unviable to make this command I understand.

However is it possible to at least let us know how many posts we changed? Imo that would be a nice quality of life. ( ╹▽╹ )

You have made changes to 4025 unique posts.
Here's a list of them.

It's not easily accessible information, though =V

And we're itching for MOAR.

Wow, I did not know about commenter since it's not on the cheatsheet.

Nice! Thank you for letting me know. I really hope this gets more accessible in the future, it would make tagging sessions a lot more manageable. Currently I'm using my hourly tag edits cap to have at least an idea of how many posts I changed in a session. Not that reliable, but at least it's something. (;-⠀⠀;

Is this data obtained through downloading each page of post_versions.json or is there a better way? I've wanted to do that for myself but it produces an unexpected error on page 134 and above (and also seems to cap at 750 pages on the navigator when I'd actually have about 2438 pages)

That's how I did it, yeah. Well, I wrote a short script for that.
It all breaks down as soon as you pass 10000 results. Nothing to do with pages.
