In 2025, it might be a good idea to install "Who wrote that?" now, a browser add-on by @wikimediafoundation

It adds a link "Who wrote that?" under "Tools", on every #Wikipedia page. If you click it, the revision history for the respective page is scanned in the background, and you get tooltips giving you #author info for every piece of text, plus highlighting of the other parts of the page they also edited.

I believe you know why you might want this.

Currently works for the following Wikipedia languages: AR, DE, EN, ES, EU, FR, HU, ID, IT, JA, NL, PL, PT, TR.
