Wikipedia – Major Contributors to a Wikipedia Article

wikipedia

The history of a Wikipedia article contains many contributors, most of them are minor (e.g. typo correction or adding a link). Usually there are 1-3 major contributors. Is there an automatic way to get a list of major contributors to a Wikipedia page?

(I mean something similar to the feature in a SE wiki answer, that shows the percentage of contribution of the major contributors.)

Yes, there is - the Contributors tool on the Wikimedia Toolserver.

Here's an example of it showing the users who've contributed the highest number of edits to the Stack Exchange article. Unfortunately it counts raw number of edits, not percentage of contribution as you've requested, although it does distinguish between major and minor edits (in brackets after the number of edits).

It's linked from each article's page information section, available in Wikipedia's left hand navigation.
