Color-coded user contributions page
This productivity tool color-codes the User contributions page so that pages you've edited last are sharply distinguished from pages where another editor was the last to edit.
The color codes make it easier to quickly browse through the contribution history and focus on lines with entries that may need attention.
Installation
Install Manually
copy the line
importScript('User:Venkat TL/ColourContrib.js'); // Backlink: [[User:Venkat TL/ColourContrib.js]] and add it to your common.js page. Save the page.
Install using Script-installer
- Enable Script-installer from your preferences, by visiting Preferences → Gadgets. At the bottom of the "Editing" section, click the "Install scripts without having to edit your JavaScript files" checkbox, then click the "Save" button.
- Visit User:Venkat TL/ColourContrib and click the blue install button
(Optional: See the section about adding scripts for details on this procedure, including purging your cache to see the change take effect.)
Reading the colours
After you've installed this script,
- rows where another editor was the last to edit have a light red background, meaning "most recent,"
- or, if the same page appears multiple times, those entries will have a light pink background. These two type of pages are the ones you may want to check.
- Pages where you were the last to edit have a light blue background (for most recent)
- or a light green background (if the page appears multiple times).
( Bonus Tip : you can install User:BrandonXLF/ContribsByPage to group the pages and make it easier to navigate)

User:Venkat TL/ColourContrib.js is the copy of Ais523's script with lighter colours so as to make the page more readable and pleasing to eyes.
