Really quite a nifty little bit of programming! Thanks for doing this. One thing that would be helpful is negative logic on data-te-user. Sometimes you want to be able to exclude certain users. For instance, !bot doesn't hide user:CzechBot at w:c:tardis because CzechBot is also a sysop and bureaucrat. Most bots, in fact, are also at least sysops in order for them to function fully, so !bot really only gets rid of user:Wikia on most bot-active wikis. — CzechOut 21:02, June 3, 2013 (UTC)

Oh, also, it might be helpful to some if you would clearly specify the defaults of each one of these options. The above write-up doesn't actually make that clear, so you have to go to the code to figure it out. — CzechOut 21:06, June 3, 2013 (UTC)

I guess I'm really confused over te-namespace. I see that if you leave it to defaults, it does increment for edits to custom namespaces and MediaWiki pages. But let's say you wanted to only count MediaWiki edits, or indeed exclude them. How would you do that, since it doesn't have a number? Or is there some hidden code like "-1" that'll work? — CzechOut 21:42, June 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * I figured adding excludeuser wouldn't be too helpful because you can only specify one user. But bots should be hidden even with other rights; it looks like you have a colon where you should have an equals sign. I did specify the defaults as the skeleton code for all the options, but I suppose I could spell them out. MediaWiki does have a number, and it's listed on the page I linked to (which also says -1 is special pages). I don't think you're able to specify a namespace to exclude, but you could do that by including all the ones you do want listed. ~Bobogoobo (talk) 22:08, June 3, 2013 (UTC)
