I have made some changes (mostly UI changes) at User:GKFX/Edit_Request_Tool.js ( diff), as it's currently not immediately obvious what each button will do just by looking at the tool. Summary:

Hello. In this diff I selected 'WP:Reliable' button, but it closed the request as if I clicked 'WP:Consensus button'. I'm sure I did not miss-click the wrong button since in previous edits you can see, I got an unexpected behaviour and was like "Did I click the wrong button?" so I reverted myself and tried again, and the behaviour persisted.

Hi @ Terasail: I have some requests regarding this tool, you may want to implement:
{{
subst:ep|mis}}
and {{
subst:ep|tp}}
messages in the tool are kinda misleading. For example, for the former, the drop-down list in the tool says Not done: this is the talk page for discussing improvements to the template {{EP}}...In the template documentation, this message appears, but elsewhere it does not, as this response automatically takes into account namespace and page name. For example, using it here, yields a completely different response: Not done: this is the talk page for discussing improvements to the page User:Terasail/Edit Request Tool. If possible, please make your request at the talk page for the article concerned. If you cannot edit the article's talk page, you can instead make your request at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection#Current requests for edits to a protected page.
In the drop-down list, it feels as if this template puts the green colored message on just any page. At least, that's what I thought until I saw the actual template code. And so I felt it to be useless until I realised that it's not. Thanks! --- CX Zoom(he/him) ( let's talk| contribs) 05:16, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

I'm having an issue where the buttons aren't producing the right output. For example, clicking Unclear: X-Y produces the WP:Reliable output, and clicking WP:Consensus produces a simple "Not done for now". Any idea what the cause might be? It worked properly until the past two days. Thanks, CMD ( talk) 08:42, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
@ Terasail - any clue what happened here? casualdejekyll 14:24, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
The preview for this response rendered an error for {{ tq}}, saying it can only be used in talk space, not in articles. When I submitted the reply, everything worked out fine. ScottishFinnishRadish ( talk) 23:04, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
It would be nice to have a second option for removal, specifically for empty edit requests that automates posting {{ empty edit request}} to the talk page of the requesting editor. This might be tough, since you'd have to find who created the request, or pick out the signature.
Also, it would be nice if there was a pop-up or text field or some such when removing a request so a custom edit summary could be added. ScottishFinnishRadish ( talk) 23:13, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

Terasail, got another one for you. When responding to an edit request the to indents in response to the last message, rather than the request itself, making it appear that you're responding to the wrong editor. For example. ScottishFinnishRadish ( talk) 22:59, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

It'd be nice if there was an option to respond with Request Withdrawn when the edit request says "ignore" or something like that. Aaron Liu ( talk) 11:42, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
|answered=yes
if however you wish to have a text response of "Ignore, this request has been withdrawn" you can either use the "comment" reply option and write this, or you can request that a new reply option be added to {{
EP}} at
Talk:EP.

If it's possible, add a feature to the tool so that when the "Automatically subscribe to topics" option is toggled in user preferences, the user automatically subscribes to the edit request topic after responding to it. Aaron Liu ( talk) 15:02, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

I no longer see the option to send an empty edit request notice when removing a request. Did this get removed, or is there a bug afoot? This has been the case for a while now, but I just now remembered to bring it up, sorry about that. ScottishFinnishRadish ( talk) 16:41, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
I just ran into what I think might be a slight issue - I just used the reopen request button and it altered the page for which the change is requested (which I did not expect) in addition to reopening the request. The diff is here.
Also, side note, "Reopened" is spelled incorrectly in the summary it generated.
Thank you so much for the tool! Tollens ( talk) 00:57, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
Not sure the reason behind this, but when clicking the list of responses I have for a few days been unable to scroll up the menu to reach the top items like "Done" using the mouse. I solve this by clicking partly done and manually scrolling using the arrow keys. I haven't changed any of my personal setting recently, but using the previous Vector. Chrome 118.0.5993.70, Windows 11. (Haven't done much testing on different setups yet myself, so this is more a heads up than a request to put time into this.)

Hi Terasail, right now when using the tool to remove empty edit requests, the edit summary simply says "Removed edit request" without elaboration, which might be a bit confusing to those not familiar with edit requests. Do you think it would be helpful to expand the wording of the automatic edit summary a bit more (something like "Removed empty edit request" or "Removed unconstructive edit request")? Of course, I could go into the page history and undo/Twinkle rollback the request and write my own edit summary, but that's a bit annoying to do every time.

In Special:Diff/1208131032, the script replaced a page title's spaces with underscores for some reason. Aaron Liu ( talk) 15:34, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
Steps to reproduce: install script, then visit any page, add ?debug=1 in the URL, then refresh.
Fix: load the library mediawiki.api somewhere in your code. Can do this by wrapping everything in mw.loader.using( [ 'mediawiki.api' ], function() {
, or maybe by just adding it to your existing mw.loader.load(
statements.
Motivation: reduce JavaScript console log spam while I am debugging other scripts with this script installed.
Thanks in advance. Happy coding. – Novem Linguae ( talk) 16:43, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
For some reason this script has been broken for me for a few months, it just hangs with the progress bar looping forever. The chrome console gives me "TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'id') at saveResponseERT (index.php?title=User:Terasail/Edit_Request_Tool.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript:377:66)", if that helps.
