Is there a way to know when someone changes the tags of my uploads?

Posted under General

Like a notification or if there's a way to search for changes on posts using the uploader as a filter, instead of looking post by post. This way I wouldn't need to have someone calling on me by DM when I tag something wrong and probably won't make a mistake more than 1 time.

FYI I created a userscript over a year ago which brings back the old tag changes report functionality. To access the report, you click the link as mentioned above by kittey, and the userscript will detect this and activate. I updated and pushed a version which has been tested as working, at least on Chrome.

For reference, it only shows additions or subtractions, so if you see nothing but a blank column, that means that no changes were detected. Also, it does more than just tag changes, and includes rating, parent, and source changes. It also works on other users accounts, since every user page has a link to their own tag changes report.

Thanks BrokenEagle, I've been using it on Opera and it works just fine too.

As for why I'm bumping this thread, I'd like to know if there's a way sort the tag changes on my posts by date, if someone changes a tag on a post that is located on page 20 of post history, for example, this wouldn't be practical. I'm aware that I can search using order:change, I just want to know if it's possible to sort it this way directly on the tag changes report, I tried to use the "date" box on the advanced section but it didn't worked.

I'm not sure what you mean, since post versions, which is what the report uses, are already sorted by date. If you're talking about going to a specific date range, then you have to use the right format.

YYYY-MM-DD, e.g. 2022-01-01
or
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm, e.g. 2022-01-01T23:30

You also have to use a range and not just a single date specifier.

E.g. 2022-01-01..2022-02-01

See the Cheatsheet for more information on datetime syntax.

I was talking about the changes being sorted from the most recent upload to the older, but I wanted it to be sorted from the most recent change to the older and I don't know how to do it or if it's even possible, as far as I know, changes made on older posts don't appear naturally on the first pages of the changes report page, so I'd struggle to know if someone made a lot of changes in a older upload of mine without searching with the order:change feature.

Edit: I just tested it right now by adding a tag to a relatively older upload and it didn't appear in the first results on the changes report page, having the most recent changes appearing first regardless of how old an upload is would help me not making a lot of repeated mistakes that I or the gardeners would have to clean later because I wouldn't be unaware of them.

That's where I was going wrong, thanks for the tip!

Ah, I see. You want the report to be ordered by change date instead of upload date? Unfortunately that's not really supported by the server itself, since the post versions table is disassociated from the posts table, and vice versa. To do something like that would require a userscript. I could update the script that I linked above to do such under certain circumstances. Let me know if you're interested.

I'd like, actually, I think this would be useful for everyone for the previous reasons. But can this new script work together with your other script? This would be the ideal.

I just pushed Version 3.0 of UploadsReport (forum #203290):

  • Two report orders
    • upload date
    • change date
  • Lasted edited notation
  • Fixes inaccurate calculation
  • Table/Header changes
  • Hides the search menu

As to the inaccurate calculation, it was also including a user's own edits as a portion of what got shown. Now only edits by other users are shown.

As to the search menu, I hid it because it was in the way, and it's really not relevant when you are viewing the tag changes report.

I didn't even need to manually update it myself, it's already working as I wanted, thank you very much. Great job.

Yeah, It has automatic updates enabled by default. It's only if you turn that off that you have to update things manually.

I might eventually migrate the script to my Github if it grows much more complicated then it currently is, which would include starting its own forum topic.
