Description Seattle Skier 2008-10-09 01:38:38 UTC
There appears to be no way to generate a list of all Wikipedia pages created by a given user (beyond just the last 30 days, which one can get from Special:NewPages).  A few external tools can generate a list of all articles created by a given user, but not of all pages.  

See discussion here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Help_desk/Archives/2008_October_5
and older discussion here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Help_desk/Archives/2007_September_23#New_pages

However, Special:Contributions already marks pages created by a user with a bold N, but even this only appears to extend back a little more than a month (although odd that it's not exactly one month like Special:NewPages).  Anyway, it would be nice to have a checkbox in Special:Contributions which could be toggled to display only pages created by the given user.

On a side note, why is there no such thing as a "page creation log"?  This would serve the same purpose, if it had existed.  So many other kinds of logs in [[Special:Log]], but why not page creation?  Where does one ask the developers such questions?

Thanks for considering this request.

There is [[Special:NewPages]] for recent page creations.
