This script/stylesheet is for PERSONAL use only!
You are free to install this script/stylesheet for yourself, but it is not allowed to be used wiki-wide (e.g., in MediaWiki:ImportJS, MediaWiki:Common.js, MediaWiki:Common.css, MediaWiki:Fandomdesktop.js or MediaWiki:Fandomdesktop.css), as it would violate Fandom's Terms of Use.
(See the customization policy)
LastEdited adds details about the last edit to the current page. These details include the time (minutes/hours/days/months/years) ago the last edit was made, user who made the edit, edit summary given (if any), the current page size in bytes and a link to open a modal to review the changes. The modal includes a link to the actual diff page, a link to undo the edit and a link to rollback the edits if the user has the required rights.
The date and time are added by default and cannot be changed, while the other options can be configured.
Demo
A demo can be seen live at the header of this page, listing the last edited details of the page.

All configurations made to the script are to be stored in the lastEdited object. Here is an example, using Japanese language:
window.lastEdited = {
avatar: true,
avatarsize: 20,
size: false,
diff: true,
comment: false,
newpage: false,
time: 'timestamp',
timezone: 'UTC',
lang: 'ja',
position: {
element: document.getElementById('WikiaPageHeader'),
method: 'append'
},
namespaces: {
exclude: []
},
pages: []
};
Toolbar example
The following can be used to add the script to the toolbar instead of appending it to the title.
//create the element we're attaching to
$('.toolbar .tools').append('<li id="lastedited"/>');
//attach to the element, as well as make the script only show one line
window.lastEdited = {
size: false,
comment: false,
position: {
element: 'li#lastedited',
method: 'append'
}
};
//change how the links look (JustLeafy's suggestion, is optional)
mw.util.addCSS('#lastEdited a { color: ' + $(".lastEdited-timeago").css("color") + '; text-decoration: underline }');
Notes
- If edit summary is not given with the edit, the whole part will be omitted, regardless of the value of
comment. langis meant for personal use only. Using it sitewidely is not encouraged.timezoneis applicable only iftimeis set totimestamp.- The script works on all namespaces except for Thread and Board Thread. It is also disabled on the main page of the wiki.
- For any styling, the class of the outer div is
lastEditedand that of the avatar icon islastEdited-avatar. - Make sure to follow the customization policy while selecting
position.element. If not provided, the default positions are below the title on pages, and below the edit button on userpages.- Please use the talkpage if you can't figure out how to get the details to show up at a particular place.
