Truncated edit summaries

I have enabled the "Allow up to 50 more characters in each of your edit summaries" user interface gadget, but TW's dialog box doesn't seem to recognize this any more: I ramble on to the expected limit, but when saved the summary is truncated at the standard limit. It used to work. --Old Moonraker (talk) 05:29, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Using a development version of Twinkle (i.e. not the one most people use), a test edit summary got truncated at 250 characters. Once this development version becomes the norm (it'll happen soon...), this issue should go away, and edit summaries will be limited to 250 characters, whether you have the gadget on or not. — This, that, and the other (talk) 04:31, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. 250 should be enough for anybody. --Old Moonraker (talk) 09:03, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Make bigger

The box I pick the warning from uses text that is too small. Can we make it bigger and also have it show all possibilities so I do not need to scroll? The one I wish to use most of the time is the welcome with what looks like possible vandalism. Thanks. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 22:04, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

All the text in Twinkle ought to be made a bit bigger, in my view, but anyway... Which "box" specifically is causing you problems? — This, that, and the other (talk) 02:29, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Yes the text bigger as you said. Would be happy if the box was a bit bigger too. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 05:47, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

OK, then: add the following code to the bottom of your skin file:

.simplewindow, .morebits-dialog { font: 90% sans-serif !important; }

Then bypass your cache. If you want to adjust the font size, you can change the percentage value accordingly. — This, that, and the other (talk) 06:15, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Yes but should it not be changed for everyone? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 01:27, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

I think users are accustomed to it as it is; you can always apply the custom CSS code above if you want to make the text bigger. — This, that, and the other (talk) 01:30, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Well let have an RfC and see what others think. I doubt I am the only one who has problem reading it. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 03:54, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Depends on what computer I'm on: mine = no problems, boyfriend's = teeny little squinty eyes for everything. I'm used to it so it's not that big of a deal for me. Call me neutral. Millahnna (talk) 06:26, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Is it also possible to make it show the whole thing? I have added the script above which is an improvement thanks. This is what I wish by default... Right now I get a thing that needs scrolling... Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 06:36, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

You seem to have a huge monitor. I'm currently on a 1280x800 laptop; you're lucky to have such a big screen. Here's another snippet of code you can add to your skin file:

.simplewindow, .morebits-dialog-content { min-height: 750px !important;  min-width: 800px !important; }

Change the number of pixels to something bigger if you want. This script snippet unfortunately means that you will not be able to resize Twinkle windows smaller than 750 pixels high and 800 pixels wide. (I haven't tested it, and I don't know if it works for sure - it might make Twinkle disgustingly deformed... if it doesn't work, you can always take it out of your skin file, and Twinkle will be happy again, though small.) — This, that, and the other (talk) 10:09, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Great that is a huge improvement. Nearly perfect. There is still one thing. When the box opens the bottom part is off the bottom of the screen and the top is part way down the screen. If the top just occurred a little farther up I could see the whole thing. I can send you a screen shot if you need.Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 00:52, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Try this, should work:

.simplewindow, .morebits-dialog { top: 100px !important; }

The number of pixels here represents the distance from the top of the webpage to the top of the Twinkle box. You can change the number of pixels to whatever you want. Unfortunately, there is another tradeoff: this will mean that you now can't drag Twinkle windows vertically - they will only move horizontally. — This, that, and the other (talk) 07:21, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks now perfect :-) Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 13:31, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Should the tag section included this?

Template:Image requested? Wilbysuffolk talk 08:53, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

I believe that's a talk page template, and the "tag" section is for top-of-the-article maintenance tags. In other words, I believe it's out of scope for that function. SchuminWeb (Talk) 08:56, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Strange goings-on with Twinkle

I noticed recently that the "Tag" item on the Twinkle drop-down menu is usually missing. Also, sometimes the three rollback buttons are missing when I view the last diff to a page.

I'm running Aurora (Firefox 5.0a2) in Windows Vista. Is anybody else running it? Is anybody else experiencing these problems? — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 05:17, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Firefox has been having issues with loading user scripts in recent versions, for as yet unknown reasons. Since you don't seem to have any configuration set up in your monobook.js, you might like to try commenting out and/or deleting the Twinkle and Friendly lines from your monobook.js and enabling Twinkle and Friendly as gadgets instead. It might help. — This, that, and the other (talk) 05:23, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

I'll give that a try and see if it helps. Thanks. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 05:32, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Screwing up undo

Resolved

After last month's update, Twinkle, like all scripts, now loads last. This means that if you show a diff from the history page, that you see the usual MediaWiki stuff, and eventually the rollback links appear, shoving everything down one line. Specifically, the rollback links have appeared a fraction of a second after I've clicked on "undo", while the click is apparently still active, at least three times in the last 24 hours. Since the red "Rollback vandalism" link is on the same side as the plain old "undo" button, then it tries to tag it as vandalism rather than simply undoing the change. I managed to cancel two of them, but one person's edits were (very wrongly) marked as vandalism.

If I paste everything from Wikipedia:Twinkle/doc#Default_Configuration except this line:

TwinkleConfig.showRollbackLinks = [ 'diff', 'others' ];

into my .js file, will that stop the rollback links from suddenly appearing where the undo button was a few seconds ago? WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:23, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

I had that happen. I thought it was my carelessness. It could have triggered a edit war (I reverted and apologized). Thanks for the explanation. Darrell_Greenwood (talk) 21:27, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

If you don't want the rollback links at all, you can use the line

TwinkleConfig.showRollbackLinks = [ ];

Is that what you want? — This, that, and the other (talk) 00:48, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Many thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Now that I know what the problem is I don't think I'll have any reoccurrence. Darrell_Greenwood (talk) 02:05, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

I pasted that line into my vector.js file, and it seems to have worked. Thanks for the simple solution! WhatamIdoing (talk) 15:47, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

AIV reporting not working well?

Resolved

 – There was no problem. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 00:36, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

I can't report a user specifically for being a promotion-only account, but if I choose spambot (which it's not...) it worked. It reported the user to the AIV page, but it did not leave a message on the user's account. It's been so long since I've reported a user, that I don't recall if it's supposed to leave a message on his talk page or not. Either way, the promotion-only option didn't work. Not for me, at any rate, and on two sort-of different browsers (Safari and OmniWeb). – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 14:18, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

It's not supposed to notify the user, only to list him at AIV. If you list a user there, you're typically past warnings. Amalthea 15:23, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

And the AIV listing worked for me. Amalthea 15:24, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Okay, I couldn't remember if Twinkle alerted the user the fact that they'd been reported or not. As for the test, well, guess it was just me! Thanks : ) – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 00:36, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Watchlist Code

Resolved

 – You can set the prefs visually now at WP:TWPREFS

I understand that there is code I can place in my vector file which will force Twinkle to stop adding anything I revert to my watchlist. Is that correct? Could the coding and the information be placed on the project page for Twinkle, because I am sure I am not the only person who doesn't like having to clean out my watchlist every day. Ryan Vesey (talk) 16:50, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

You're dead right, you're not the only one. JamesBWatson (talk) 18:27, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

… which is why all the watchlist options are listed in the documentation. Amalthea 19:44, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Um, through using Wikipedia I have gotten some understanding of Javascript and other coding, but I am still completely unable to figure out how to make the change. The only part in the coding I found related to Twinkle/watchlist was about xfd and was already set to "no." I can't even find my Twinkle preferences. Ryan Vesey (talk) 20:07, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

This is all in WP:TW/DOC#Configuration, but I agree that it's not exactly written with ease-of-use in mind. All you have to do is place the following code in your common.js file.

if( typeof( TwinkleConfig ) == 'undefined' ) TwinkleConfig = {}; // DO NOT REMOVE THIS LINE - ALL TWINKLE SETTINGS AFTER THIS
TwinkleConfig.watchRevertedPages = [];

See the watchRevertedPages entry below WP:TW/DOC#Custom configuration for more info. Hope this helps. —DoRD (talk) 20:39, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

One final question, does it need to go into a common.js file? Or can I put it into my vector.js file? I would prefer to only use one but I don't want to mess anything up. Ryan Vesey (talk) 22:26, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

If you only intend to use Vector, then certainly, put it in vector.js. Or monobook.js, if that's your preference. Personally, I like to keep everything in one location so I can switch skins with ease. —DoRD (talk) 23:33, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Blacklisting

Resolved

A vandalbot has recently used Twinkle to revert countless Cluebot edits. Therefore, if a blacklisting of every name that ended with "bot" could be done, such a problem can be prevented. "Whitelisting" could be done to bots which have a BRFA for using Twinkle. --Σ _☭^★ 19:22, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

hatnote and blacklisting

Resolved

Two things, Twinkle does not appear to recognize {{See Wiktionary}} as a hatnote, and tags above it instead of under it. And Twinkle doesn't give any error or indication the revert doesn't go trough when you're trying to revert an edit which restores a blacklisted website which was removed in one of the previous edits. It just pretends everything goes fine, but doesn't do anything. No indication the revert didn't happen, no indication there's a problem at all. _Xeworlebi ^(talk) 14:04, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Hatnote problem will be fixed; thanks. The blacklist problem is  Pending. — This, that, and the other (talk) 12:18, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Twinkle revert tools not showing up in 'User contributions'

Normally when I go to "User contributions" I get a red revert button. It's not there anymore. The rest of the standard Twinkle package is still there. Can someone help? Sven Manguard Wha? 07:56, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

I've selected this option on the prefs page, purged, emptied cache, etc., but it's still absent. I don't necessarily want to rollback self—I usually do that manually with an accompanying grovel—but it's very useful as a quick "since mine" check. --Old Moonraker (talk) 09:29, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Yep, that's a fix. Thanks (as in the past) for your prompt intervention. It's FF 4.0.1. --Old Moonraker (talk) 10:29, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Dialogs in Firefox 3

Resolved

From the TW tab, if I choose XfD on an article, I get an AfD dialog, but it doesn't work. The "Deletion discussion venue" popup and the "Notify page creator if possible" checkbox are there, and both of those appear to respond. But below that there's a box labeled "Work area", but that doesn't respond - don't know what it's supposed to be, but it's just a blue rectangle. And the "Submit Query" button doesn't do anything - the whole thing just sits there when I click it. (Mac OS 10.6.7, Firefox 3.6.17) -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:35, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

But if I use Safari (5.0.5) it works. I get a whole different dialog box - instead of an empty "Work area" box I get a box labeled "Articles for deletion" containing all the proper things - Wrap, Category, and Reason. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:40, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

It's similar with the PROD dialog. It works with Safari, but with Firefox (for Mac) I get the PROD/BLP PROD radio buttons and underneath that an empty "Work area" dialog, and the "Propose deletion" button doesn't work. But, if I toggle the radio buttons and back, I then get the proper "Parameters" box and it all works. Testing the XfD dialog a bit further, I can get that to work by toggling the venue and back - once I've flipped to, say, TfD and back, the "Work area" box has been replaced by the proper thing and it's fine (I don't know what language Twinkle is written in, but I'm a Java programmer and it's as if the subclass constructor is not happening - don't know if that makes any sense) -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:54, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Workaround...

Just in case it got lost in my edit above, I can make the broken dialogs work in Firefox 3.6.17. They're apparently not being initialized properly, but if I toggle their purpose (eg AfD to TfD and back, PROD to BLP PROD and back) they get initialized properly and work - it works for AIV, CSD, PROD, XFD, and PP which, as far as I can see, are the ones affected -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:55, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

PS: I'd also like to say how much I like the new look and feel and the new facilities (and the use of the API, which should hopefully bring great stability/compatibility improvements) - many thanks to those who have clearly put a lot of effort into this -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:58, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

And yes, I'd agree this is low priority, especially as there appears to be an easy workaround for FF3 -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:13, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

The workaround is poorly explained. I tried earlier in the day and could not understand what I had to do to make it work. I also have extensions that I use at home that don't work in FF 4 and so will not be able to upgrade soon. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 19:03, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

After you open e.g. the ARV dialog, change the report type from Vandalism to something else, and then back to Vandalism. The input form should be properly initialized after that. Amalthea 19:11, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

(I'd started so I'll finish)Take, say, XFD. If you choose XFD when you're on an article, you get an AfD dialog that doesn't work - there's a box that just says "Work area" and clicking the button does nothing. But if you change it to, say, FfD using the popup - that works. So then change it back to AfD and you're set to go. Similarly PROD gives you PROD/BLPROD options - change the option and then change it back, and it works. ARV - change the report type and back. PP (admin only) - change the Type of action and back. (CSD doesn't need it, sorry). That's the way it was early this morning, anyway - I've upgraded to Ff 4 now and didn't keep an old Ff 3. Regarding your inability to upgrade, I don't know what it's like on Windows, but on a Mac you can easily keep multiple versions and use different ones for different sites - might be worth seeing if you can do that? -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 19:16, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

We shouldn't be needing workarounds, we need tools that work after they have first been tested and debugged. This new twinkle control panel is full of good ideas, and full of new bugs too many to ist here, and all tis comes after its problems with the new Wiki software upgrade, and the introduction of Firefox 4. It's incredible that to use all the tools and features on Mac, I have to have four browser windows open: Safari in in monobook and vector, and Firefox in monobook and vector. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:56, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Isn't it easy to complain when you don't need to to the coding and testing yourself? _→AzaToth 10:17, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Glad to know the workaround works, since there is close to zero chance I will upgrade to FF4. I think that FF4 was one of the uninstalls I have ever done, primarily because there was no longer a quick pulldown of the last 15 or so pages in your history. For me is an absolutely indispensable tool for editing Wikipedia (the ability to go back, in a single click, to a page I've recently accessed, in the same part of the page, is the only efficient way I can make sure I cover my entire watchlist). Qwyrxian (talk) 02:57, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

I go to User talk:Boing! said Zebedee. I click on the Warn tab that is added by Twinkle. The first combo box, severity, is populated. The second, warning type, is not. There are no buttons or links to "Work area". So is where's the workaround for this? --Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:36, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Null tags

Resolved

As far as I can tell {{Null}} does nothing, Twinkle adds this tag every time I tag an article. Any reason for this? _Xeworlebi ^(talk) 11:55, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Brokenness is the reason. Article tagging is holding together by a thread at the moment. I think there are probably some more typos in the code. I'll look at it when I get a spare moment. For the moment, know that {{null}} is intentionally designed to do nothing, so it is harmless (although completely unnecessary). — This, that, and the other (talk) 11:58, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Reversion error

Resolved

Starting yesterday, Twinkle stopped working in Camino (2.1a2pre). Every attempt to revert would get the same error message:"Warning: Latest revision ######### doesn't equal our revision ######### Warning: Latest revision was made by ###.##.##.##. As we assume good faith, we stop reverting, as the problem might have been fixed." In Safari (5.05) it would work, but there would be a duplicate level of warnings. Now this morning I get the same error in Safari, Firefox (4.0.1) as in Camino. GcSwRhIc (talk) 12:51, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

I am having the same issue (using Safari 5.0.5 on OS X 10.6.7). I am unable to perform AGF or normal rollback, but the vandalism option still works (although it displays the message about the revisions being different, it still completes the revert, instead of aborting). That said, I do love the new Twinkle and my thanks go to the developers. If this could be fixed then everything would be perfect. Cheers, Jenks24 (talk) 13:00, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

I'm also getting this in Firefox and as far as I'm aware I'm using the most up to date version of both Firefox and Twinkle. Also I've noticed when I'm trying to warn people the drop down box is absolutely tiny now! No idea if the two are connected?--5 albert square (talk) 13:08, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

It might be a good idea for the Twinkle gadget description to be updated, removing the browser-specific part (because IE works now), and adding the Friendly functionality.

That help tip appears next to the text box "Section heading to use for welcomes". It refers to the fact that the checkbox to which you refer has to be checked in order for the heading name to have any effect. — This, that, and the other (talk) 06:46, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Okay, well in that case, it's not inserting a heading before the welcome template. Firefox 4, Monobook skin. — Bility (talk) 11:19, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

If you use the pre-defined w-graphical from the "Welcoming committee templates" section instead of the one from your custom templates it will work.
This is due to a deficiency that Friendly always had with custom templates: It won't let you define the required meta information for advanced features like headings.

Month/Date localization for Bengali Wikipedia from twinklewarn.js

The user's browser provides these language names, which appear to be always in English. The only way around this would be to use a switch statement:

var localMonthName;
switch (date.getUTCMonth() + 1) {
  case 1: // January
    localMonthName = "your local name for January";
    break;
  case 2: // February

Can't delete CSD F4....

Resolved

First off, I love the new Twinkle. But, there seems to be a problem deleting files for CSD F4, F5 and so on. (Forgive me for not posting at the link you gave—I can't figure that site out)

So when I click "CSD" tag on a file I wish to delete, the list shows up as usual. A few are missing and there is a note "Tagging for CSD F4 (no license), F5 (orphaned fair use), F6 (no fair use rationale), and F11 (no permission) can be done using Twinkle's "DI" tab." at the bottom. But, when I click the "DI" tab, it doesn't delete the page, it just tags it.([5]) Could someone work on this?

Twinkle menu -- dropdown vs. tabs in Vector

Resolved

I'm talking about Wikipedia:Twinkle/doc#Location of Twinkle menu items here. I vastly prefer tabs over the dropdown menu. The doc say to tell you if I want it fixed, and I want it fixed. What are the chances of getting this to work again? jcgoble3 (talk) 02:43, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

I want the Twinkle menu back in the single dropdown with the "move", etc. links. How do I do that? /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 02:57, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

The reason I didn't bother to fix this is because it's a puzzle to fix. My suggestion is to install Twinkle in your vector.js, rather than using the gadget. Of course, you need to leave the TwinkleConfig.portlet... stuff there. Does that work for you? — This, that, and the other (talk) 06:35, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

A puzzle how? What preferences to expose? Amalthea 11:37, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Because of loading sequence issues. We have to ensure that the TwinkleConfig prefs are set before morebits.js is loaded and modules begin to add their tabs/menu items to the page. Gadgets are loaded before the skin JS file is, hence why I am recommending to include Twinkle using importScript if you want to move your tabs around. (By the way, is this feature of Twinkle working for anybody as it stands? It ought to...) — This, that, and the other (talk) 11:41, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

I don't know if it's related, but for me on Safari the preferences fail to write because "Saving preferences to User:Uncle Milty/twinkleoptions.js: Could not resolve redirects for: User Uncle Milty/twinkleoptions.js". The page with this error goes by so fast that I had to screen capture it to get it. You can see a cropped version here: [6]. As an experiment, I went ahead and created that subpage in my userspace, but that doesn't solve the problem. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 16:08, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Don't know if it is resolved for everyone, but it now works for me. Thanks all. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 12:56, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

CSD-F2

Resolved

Image tagging of files on Wikimedia Commons is broken. Marcus Qwertyus 17:39, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Y Fixed, thanks. Next time, please give a description of the exact function you tried to use that didn't work. In this case: "Tagging the image File:Sunny Leone 3 2009.jpg with the CSD function, tag 'F2: Unneeded file description page', does not work". Amalthea 06:40, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Wrong link on user talk

Resolved

I nominated Eaiea for AfD. Twinkle correctly identified that it needed to create a second nomination. But it linked to the old discussion when notifying the author. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:44, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Fixed. This is due to the merge of the old {{AFDWarning}} to the new {{AfD-notice}}. T. Canens (talk) 19:11, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Notify if Possible is always notyfing

Resolved

I believe the "Notify if Possible" checkbox is not working, as I uncheck it (to avoid repeated notifications) and it still post to user talk page. --damiens.rf 19:50, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

It works for me. Has it fixed itself since? — This, that, and the other (talk) 06:53, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

It doesn't work for FfDs. This should have fixed it. T. Canens (talk) 14:19, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Applied to repository. Amalthea 14:32, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletions

Resolved

Is there a way to turn off the dialogue asking if I want to modify the deletion summary? For most of the deletions I do with this tool, this is a extra window I must click through, and some of the reasons would never need to be modified (broken redirects, orphaned talk pages, author request, etc.) Courcelles 20:18, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Will do. I'll make it criterion-based if you like, or a single checkbox if you want. — This, that, and the other (talk) 06:43, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

I think this is working now. See the preference "Allow editing of deletion summary when deleting under these criteria" in the CSD section of WP:TWPREFS. — This, that, and the other (talk) 10:49, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! Courcelles 18:41, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Notifying myself of tagging my pages

Resolved

I just noticed that the default is to notify the user of CSDs, even when I am tagging my own Userspace page for deletion. This certainly isn't going to break anything, I'm just pointing it out. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 05:31, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

You can turn off the "Notify if possible" checkbox in these instances. — This, that, and the other (talk) 06:43, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Bug with F2

Resolved

I recently tagged a few files with F2: "unneeded description for file hosted in commons..." The articles were tagged correctly. However, the uploader was tagged with faulty notification templates: [7], [8], [9], [10]. Singularity42 (talk) 12:12, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

That's because Twinkle is trying to use {{db-fpcfail-notice}}, which doesn't actually exist. I don't have time right now to create it. Perhaps someone else could. — This, that, and the other (talk) 12:23, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Redirected to Template:Db-noimage-notice, thanks for the report. Amalthea 13:49, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Rollback on own edits

Resolved

When I used the rollback feature on my edits I was presented with my talkpage afterwards. Tempted to give myself a warning template! It's a useful function normally, but unnecessary in this example. doomgaze (talk) 14:27, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Y Done. Amalthea 15:08, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Error with PUF nominations

Resolved

I used TW to list File:Pictures-of-knights-2.jpg as a possibly unfree file. TW notified the uploader, but did not put a template up at PUF, I had to do that manually. Sven Manguard Wha? 07:36, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

There was a mistake in the code. Fixed in the repo. — This, that, and the other (talk) 10:30, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Minor word change on list of welcome msgs

Resolved

Template:Welcome-COI says "I notice that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest". However, in the welcome msg options, it says it is for a user who recently created an article with a COI. I wasn't using it for edits to an existing article until I realized it actually can be used in that situation.

Thanks. --CutOffTies (talk) 13:29, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for telling us. Fixed on repo. (BTW, the tooltips in that welcome dialog are very confusing. I'll see if I can clean them up.) — This, that, and the other (talk) 04:08, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Wording of edit summary on histmerge

Resolved

This request appears to have been lost when the "Bugs and feature requests" were migrated, so I'll ask again here. Selecting "G6: History merge" from the CSD menu leaves an edit summary of "Requesting speedy deletion". The {{db-histmerge}} tag was recently changed to remove all mention of the word "delete", so I wonder if it would be prudent to change the automatically generated edit summary to something along the lines of "Requesting history merge". —KuyaBriBri^Talk 16:11, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for reporting this. Fixed on repo. — This, that, and the other (talk) 04:07, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Blacklist

Resolved

Upon seeing a current ANI thread, I was reminded to ask this: Now that this complete overhaul has taken place, where is the blacklist located ? —DoRD (talk) 23:11, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

A bit of searching around turned up this, apparently the blacklist may have been removed as a result of that. - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 00:58, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Just as well. If I were faced with someone who is disrupting Wikipedia with Twinkle, I'd reach for the full ban-hammer and block them outright before I'd consider revoking Twinkle access, because it's more of a behavioral issue than a tool issue. SchuminWeb (Talk) 01:34, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Perhaps so. The current issue seems to be a case of WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT. I haven't (yet) read the full discussion linked above, but it seems to me that a variable could be added to twinkleprefs.js, something like disable = true, so that admins could disable an individual user's Twinkle and then full-protect the page. Then again, I don't know what it would take to implement that. Thanks —DoRD (talk) 01:47, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Check out the discussion, because otherwise, we'll end up retreading that discussion, and it's pretty thorough. SchuminWeb (Talk) 02:01, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the shove; I've scanned enough of the prior discussion to drop my suggestion. You're right: If, after proper warnings, someone willfully misuses the tool, a block is warranted. Cheers —DoRD (talk) 02:13, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

It's not a case of WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT. I didn't know, but I understand now. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:40, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Added link to Twinkle preferences panel as a hatnote

Resolved

Seems we didn't have a quick hit-on-sight link for people just wanting to tinker with their Twinkle preferences. After enough times having to *look* for the link for the Twinkle preferences page, I have added it as a hatnote, putting it at the top, for the sake of convenience. SchuminWeb (Talk) 01:42, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

How to disable it? It sometimes can really annoy me. Like, who would want that you are not tring to find it, you are just editing a js file and that hatnote comes in. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 21:47, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Ebe123, you're referring to something different than what SchuminWeb added to Wikipedia:Twinkle. The notice at the top of your JS files is located in the Twinkle code (find "twinkle-config-headerbox" on the page). Logan _Talk ^{Contributions} 21:59, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Twinkle no longer showing up?

Odd, I don't see that I broke anything, and it was still working fine here for me when your posts came up. I reverted some changes from 45 minutes ago nonetheless, and was starting to see problems afterwards (without anything in the log, but for some reason "Twinkle.load" wasn't defined anymore, so the script wasn't loaded at all apparently).
Everythings's back to normal now for me, but I can't say whether there really was an issue with my changes (which as I said were working well for me) or whether that was e.g. a glitch in the resource loader. I'll try again tomorrow. o_O Amalthea 21:41, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

I presume people here are referring to the fact that Twinkle no longer shows up next to the standard rollback button on watchlists and list of contributions? I was confused at first, but of course, the Twinkle buttons have simply moved to the page diffs. This, in my opinion, is much better. Twinkle buttons all over the watchlist and contribs-list were untidy and hard on the eye. It's much better now :) Orphan Wiki 10:31, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

No, the complaint was about all Twinkle features having completely vanished, including the Twinkle-menu and page diff-options, so comparable to not having Twinkle installed at all. However, as can be seen above, they did return after a few minutes. --Saddhiyama (talk) 11:51, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

OK. Orphan Wiki 10:55, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Remove tag

Should twinkle have a remove tag function?Wilbysuffolk talk 08:51, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

I really don't mind either way, because I can see such a tool being handy, but also, I don't know if it will do much better than just removing the tag via conventional editing, depending on how it's implemented. SchuminWeb (Talk) 14:35, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Let me ask you this before any further discussion: how were you envisioning such a thing being implemented? SchuminWeb (Talk) 14:36, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

I could imagine an extra "Untag" tab, providing a list of tags in the article, with checkboxes to uncheck in order to remove them. It would probably also need the ability to provide a custom edit summary. Rd232 ^talk 03:29, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

It's a very good idea, which can go on the to-do list. I personally don't have time to write this, for the moment at least; anyone interested in writing new bits for Twinkle should check out the github repo, or contact me or AzaToth (talk · contribs). — This, that, and the other (talk) 09:57, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

tweak of Template:Uw-attack

See Wikipedia talk:Template messages/User talk namespace#tweak of Template:Uw-attack. Not sure if Twinkle will need to be tweaked in some way in order to work without the article name parameter. Beeblebrox (talk) 05:29, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Twinkle doesn't use that template (see testing example) but the point made at the above talkpage would seem to make sense for Twinkle as well. —DoRD (talk) 21:30, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Remove attack page name from warning

Per the above and the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Template messages/User talk namespace#tweak of Template:Uw-attack, perhaps Twinkle shouldn't note the page name in the heading of the warning, either. I don't know enough about the structure of Twinkle to even find where speedy warnings are issued, though. —DoRD (talk) 21:30, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
