{{User contrib|N}} (where N = number of edits)

Or:

{{User contrib|N|User_name}} (User_name only needed if placed on a different page than your main userpage.)
{{User contrib|N|format=no}}: by default, the figure N is displayed with commas separating thousands. Use |format=no to suppress these commas.
{{User contrib|N|lang=X}}: prepends "Wikipedia" with the name of one or more languages. So replacing X with "English" yields "contributions to the English Wikipedia"
{{User contrib|N|project=X}}: replaces "Wikipedia" with the name of one or more projects, for example |project=Wikimedia Commons yields "contributions to Wikimedia Commons". May be used in combination with |lang=, for example |lang=French|project=Wiktionary yields "contributions to the French Wiktionary".
{{User contrib|N|deleted=X}}: adds the string "over X of which were to pages that are now deleted". Used to show how many deleted contributions you've made, which doesn't show up in most edit counters.
{{User contrib|N|articles=X}}: adds the string "over X of which were to articles". Used to show how many of your edits you've made in the article namespace.
{{User contrib|N|distinct=X}}: adds the string "on over X distinct pages". Used to show how many contributions have been made to different pages in total. This variable can be seen in the wanabe_kate counter under "number of unique pages". The parameter |unique= is a synonym for |distinct=.
{{User contrib|N|images=X}}: adds the string "as well as uploaded X images". Used to show how many images you've uploaded.
{{User contrib|N|cur_images=X}}: adds the string "over X of which are still current". Used to show how many of those images that are still current.
{{User contrib|N|insane=yes}}: adds the string "and, as a result, may be slightly insane", which was previously featured on the 100,000 edits box.
{{User contrib|N|total=yes}}: adds a link to a query page that gives your total number of edits, including deleted edits. Link displays as (total).
{{User contrib|N|bot=yes}}: by default, the text begins "This user has". Use |bot=yes to change this to "This bot has".
{{User contrib|N|log=yes}}: changes text to indicate that the number represents logged actions, such as page moves or deletions, rather than other edits.
{{User contrib|N|linked=no}}: suppresses the normal extlink to the edit counter (useful for people/bots who have way too many edits for detailed edit counters to handle gracefully).

Colors are retained from the old edit count templates. To customize, use parameters id-bg, info-bg, border, id-font, and info-font to set the background, font, and border colors. If you want a more customized version, feel free to make a copy in your userspace.

For example, {{user contrib|100|User_name|id-bg=#bbbbee|info-bg=#ddddff|id-font=#000033|info-font=#333366|border=#aaaaaa}} gives you:

100+This user has made over 100 contributions to Wikipedia.

Link destination may also be changed by changing the link parameter:

{{User contrib|100|link=http://tools.wikimedia.de/~interiot/cgi-bin/count_edits?user={{urlencode:{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}&dbname=enwiki_p}} makes:
100+This user has made over 100 contributions to Wikipedia.
{{User contrib|100|link=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Username}} makes:
100+This user has made over 100 contributions to Wikipedia.
