This is an extension of Flcelloguy's Tool, which processes the HTML from a contribs file and parses it into a file readable by the tool. It is not finished, but the core is done, so I'm publishing it as v1.00.

It won't run, since the functions written by Flcelloguy (which actually count the contributions) are in a separate file (available at User:Flcelloguy/Tool). All it does is parse the contributions. Titoxd^{(?!? - did you read this?)} 04:21, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• v1.00: Original version, parses contribs to HTML file
• v1.01: Revision, split into a separate class, removed print command to system buffer (slowing down tool, only used for debugging)
• v2.00: begun processing the raw HTML file, parsed date/time stamp and page name into a special "Contrib" class. Minor edits, edit summaries and most recent edits still to be implemented.
