As an admin or moderator, is there a way to view the history of a user’s edits to other people’s posts? And/or a way to view a global history of all edits to others’ posts? I’d like to occasionally do a read-through to make sure such edits are reasonable, and be able to provide feedback to Regular-level members on how to make good edits.

Viewing Edit Activity
Admin jsha sought a way to view the history of users’ edits to others’ posts and a global history of all such edits to ensure edits are reasonable and provide feedback to members. cpradio suggested using the Data Explorer Plugin with a specific query.
However, codinghorror revealed that a built-in report for this purpose is available in the admin dashboard. jsha found a bug in the report, which was later fixed by tshenry.
jsha pointed out that the report only shows cross-user edits, not self-edits, and suggested renaming it to “Cross-user edits” for clarity. Their use case was solved by a Data Explorer query, and they thanked the team for their help.
Data Explorer Plugin. The query you will want to start with
SELECT *
FROM post_revisions
You will probably want to eventually add date filters as I believe it limits to 200 results.
We have since added a built in report for this in the admin dashboard.
Awesome, thanks! I’ll check it out.
I think there may be a bug. When I visit https://community.letsencrypt.org/admin/reports/post_edits?end_date=2019-06-05&start_date=2019-05-01, I see “Post Edits — No data to display.”, even if I hit “Refresh Report” multiple times.
I know there are edits because I lifted our restrictions on edits, and we recently got another instance of a spammy edit.
Can you repro this @tshenry
I’m not able to repro at the moment. Still digging.
Hey Jacob, ich wollte mich nur kurz melden und dir mitteilen, dass das Problem mit dem Bericht „Post-Edits
Danke! Das funktioniert großartig. Interessanterweise bin ich seit meiner ursprünglichen Meldung auf ein verwandtes Bedürfnis nach einem Bericht über Beitragsbearbeitungen gestoßen. Spammer posten harmlose Inhalte und bearbeiten sie später, um Links einzufügen.
Der aktuelle Bericht über Beitragsbearbeitungen zeigt nur, wenn Benutzer A den Beitrag von Benutzer B bearbeitet, was definitiv das ist, was ich ursprünglich angefordert habe. Es ist jedoch etwas verwirrend, dass er nicht erfasst, wenn Benutzer A den eigenen Beitrag bearbeitet.
Ich denke, mein Anwendungsfall wird durch die hier beschriebene Data Explorer-Abfrage ausreichend gelöst, daher bitte ich nicht um eine Codeänderung. Ich würde jedoch empfehlen, den Titel dieses Berichts in etwas wie „Bearbeitungen zwischen Benutzern
