Tools to see what a single user changed?

General talk

Hi all,

We are working on an package to use OSM in schools, including a part where students will have to make changes.

I’m now wondering if there is an easy-to-use tool to inspect what a certain contributor has done in e.g. the past 30 days, quite similar to OSMCHA, but then with all the changes at once in view instead of the changesets.

I’m glad to hear that OSM is making it into the lesson plan!

The easiest way is probably to use Overpass Turbo or Ultra with a query like this:

[out:xml][timeout:300];
nwr({{bbox}})(user_touched:"Lumikeiju");
(._;>;); out meta;

(Replace Lumikeiju with the OSM username of the desired contributor)

True, a very simple approach; but it only fetches objects that were last touched by this user. It might thus miss some items

(user:"Lumikeiju") returns only elements last edited by me.
(user_touched:"Lumikeiju") returns all elements that have ever been modified by me.

Refer to this page on the Wiki for details.
