Show the last author of a node in the Drupal content list

Show "last edited by" on the Drupal admin/content view

Instead of showing the original author of a node, show the last person to edit it.

Drupal's content listing at admin/content shows us the creator of a node, but does not allow us to add a field to show us the last person who edited the node. 

I did some Googling for it, and it turns out the ability during the latter stages of Drupal 8 development, but I wasn't aware of it. I'd like to see this added to the default admin/content view so we wouldn't have to figure it out.

So ... here's how to do it:

  1. Create a relationship to the The user ID of the author of the current revision.
  2. Then use that relationship in the fields you want to show.

Here it is in video format:

The full title is "Something nice, something quirky, something else".

I send an email once a week with something nice, something quirky, and something else that I think is interesting (all with a web development theme, of course).
