I think Huggle on Wikispecies was activated over a year ago, but when trying to use it, it seems its read only, the revert buttons etc, are not active? Dan Koehl ( talk) 21:57, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

That's probably because configuration was incomplete and Huggle wasn't working properly, sending non-existent templates to users and so on. Petrb ( talk) 14:16, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

@ Petrb:, I "imported" some of the warning messages from enwiki to wikidata, but I think I did something wrong, since the warning doesnt climb up in level, for each new message, they remain on level 1, please see this edit. With some advice, I may be able to fix this, if you have limited time, but need instructions how to fix this. Dan Koehl ( talk) 21:47, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

Each warning is containing magic code that is used to recognize warning level, it's typically on the end of warning in form of HTML comment (so invisible on rendered page). These magic codes are listed on warning-template-tags section of project config, see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Huggle/Deploying/DefaultConfig.yaml for more details. My guess is that these tags are missing in wikidata project config and because of that Huggle is not able to determine proper warning level from template sources. Petrb ( talk) 14:12, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

@ Petrb:, Once again thanks for your advice. Ill try to look into those issues. Dan Koehl ( talk) 14:35, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

@ Petrb:, I have gone through the warning templates, and changed some, according to the ones at enwiki, maybe you can be kind and just look through the code, and see if they are now correct?

1. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Template:Huggle/warn-1
2. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Template:Huggle/warn-2
3. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Template:Huggle/warn-3
4. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Template:Huggle/warn-4

There may of course also be the risk of some errors in the configuration, e.g. the calling of those files. Dan Koehl ( talk) 17:10, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

You don't need to update the templates, you need to update the project config Petrb ( talk) 17:51, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

Hey, With the standard configuration, Huggle sends automatic a Welcome message to new Users with an empty talk. The Problem: The welcome message is also send to IP adresses. How can I fix that?-- Janui ( talk) 16:45, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

At this moment probably easiest way is to open new phabricator task to implement option for welcoming only registered users. Petrb ( talk) 13:53, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

How does one add an extension in python? The extensions menu seems to expect JavaScript.

Also, are extensions documented in the manual? I couldn't find such documentation. Thanks! Ijon ( talk) 16:52, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi, Python engine was deprecated with 3.4.0, there was several announcements regarding that, it was done during Wikimedia Hackathon this year in Barcelona. As of now Huggle supports JS extensions only, you can find examples here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Huggle/JS some basic documentation is here: https://github.com/huggle/huggle3-qt-lx/wiki/JS-Extensions Petrb ( talk) 13:55, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

I'm unable to login, I get the following error: ERROR: api.php responded with unknown result: WrongToken. Anything wrong at my end? -- Rsrikanth05 ( talk) 21:50, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Okie, nevermind. I figured that I was launched a dated version of the 32-bit programme instead of the latest one. My bad. -- Rsrikanth05 ( talk) 22:03, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

This is probably so second nature to many people that it is thought not to need explanation, or perhaps I've just missed finding it in the manual. Either way, it is a mystery to me. Every now and then I unintentionally undock portions ("panes"?) of the Huggle user interface window. Currently, I have the Queue bit unintentionally undocked. How do I redock it so as to get back to something resembling this? Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 11:12, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

@ Wtmitchell: That should be just a matter of click-n-dragging it back to its original position. Just drag it to the left of the main section and it should show a blue bounding box. Releasing the mouse button (Eg: if you stop dragging) at this point it should snap into place and be docked again. This method can also be used to rearrange the UI to your liking as you can dock sections wherever you like. Excirial ^{( Contact me, Contribs)} 12:32, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

OK, try to change RC feed provider to IRC maybe (System -> Provider -> IRC)? I am not sure what you mean by "it's slow" that's not very detailed description of what is wrong. What edits per minute you have? Petrb ( talk) 13:09, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

ImprovedWikiImprovment accidentally restored an instance of vandalism that I had just reverted. I've nearly done the same thing numerous times, but the system has alerted me, saying something about "you're reverting a whitelisted user". ImprovedWikiImprovment does not recall a message like that displaying. Is this message something that can be toggled on/off by the user, or is it possibly not notifying even though it should be? Home Lander ( talk) 21:13, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

Yes that message can be disabled in user preferences. There is actually a number of checks that should prevent this kind of stuff from happening. Petrb ( talk) 11:58, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

The current Wishlist Survey has a proposal to make it as easy to tag (with "citation needed" etc.) as it is to rvv. This should be faster than writing custom comments in a good-faith revert, and there is evidence [1] that it will cause more new editors to fix their own edits, learning editing skills and improving content in the process. Please consider voting on the wish. HLHJ ( talk) 19:12, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

We don't need to vote, it's really about opening a task in phabricator. Petrb ( talk) 22:17, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

BTW shouldn't this be linked with another action that would deliver a template message to user who added unsourced text and inform them about addition of this template and the fact that if they fail to add source, their text might be deleted or reverted in future?

This is a very nasty bug that I believe resides in MediaWiki there are couple of long term tasks related to it. This can be fixed multiple ways, most simple is just to restart Huggle, which probably doesn't work in your case - I can't say why, if you don't want to bother with investigation, you can just create a bot password here: Special:BotPasswords and try that instead, check these permissions: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Huggle/Bot_passwords If you want to investigate this issue, you can create a query dump - start huggle with parameter --qd, replicate the issue and then paste contents of querydump.dat (this file will be in working path - most easy is to navigate to some path using cmd.exe, then launch huggle from cmd.exe using --qd and then the file would be in folder from which you started huggle), so that we can analyze the API flow. Please keep in mind that file will contain some data that may be considered confidential by some people (IP, tokens etc.) Petrb ( talk) 23:41, 25 November 2018 (UTC)

Twice now I've reverted an edit by a user who had received a level four warning and when I clicked to revert and warn, the revert happened but no warning was posted and I was not prompted to report/block the user. It's not an issue of the level 4 warnings being old—both users ( User talk:24.187.122.0 and User talk:68.193.182.202) received their last warnings several minutes before my revert. GorillaWarfare (talk) 22:54, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

Hmm that's odd, do you happen to have the logs from it? I am fairly sure if Huggle knew these users should have been reported and didn't report them for some reason, that the reason would be in the logs. If there was nothing in logs, it means Huggle didn't know these users had warnings and should have been reported. Only thing that comes to my mind is the feature implemented recently (as in last 6 months) that checks if last warning was not given too recently, to avoid slapping users with templates too quickly, but this check is set for about 1 or 2 minutes. So unless your revert happened less than 1 or 2 minutes after last template written to their talk-page this shouldn't happen and even if it did, there would be a message about it in system log.

This is where it was implemented:

• first version (here it always asked user explicitly): https://github.com/huggle/huggle3-qt-lx/commit/d9dc452a365e4f87a7208ff9eb4afdae4d7fbd30
• changed to print only to system log instead of asking user by default: https://github.com/huggle/huggle3-qt-lx/commit/63ff272a5c1329b34086d527ba3d3890a17019df

These commits are 5 months old Petrb ( talk) 12:09, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

Oops, never followed up on this. I'm no longer seeing the issue, though I'm now seeing a different issue (reported in a new section below). GorillaWarfare  (talk) 02:28, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

I've been running into an issue where, if a user has had a level 4 warning and the pop-up asks if I want to report, whatever edit comes next in the queue is automatically reverted and the user warned when I either click "report" or dismiss the pop-up. I've noticed this happening for some time, but you can see where it just happened here after I reverted this edit and dismissed the pop-up. GorillaWarfare  (talk) 02:24, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi, do you happen to use MacOS? There is a keyboard bug, probably in Qt, which results in key press event being sent multiple times on press of any key, so for example when you press R for revert, the event is triggered for 1 up to 4 times instead of just once (like if you pressed R 3 times for example) the amount of "fake" key presses is random. This is a very annoying bug that happens on MacOS only, for which I created a workaround involving check of delay between individual key-press events, which is currently set to less than 1 second. The reason for this bug is probably that when you press R to revert, Qt's keyboard subsystem again (for unknown reasons) generates N key presses, calls the Huggle's keypress event (which remembers last time when it was triggered), then display a popup message which freezes the event queue and after you answer the popup (which probably takes longer than the safety delay check is set for - less than a second) it dispatches remaining fake keypresses to Huggle, which executes revert of next edit (in theory it could be more than 1 edit). Workaround would be to use mouse to revert, mouse clicks don't suffer from this nasty bug. I hope that in future Qt versions this bug is fixed, but I am afraid it's not. If you start Huggle in verbose mode (paramter -v) you will see messages like "Keystroke bug on <integer> span <integer>" which is informing you that bug was triggered and Huggle ignored consecutive keypresses. Petrb ( talk) 12:17, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

Ah, that would be it then. I do use MacOS. Thank you for the detailed reply! GorillaWarfare  (talk) 22:41, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I have used Huggle in the past, and I am used to pressing 'Q' to revert and warn a user. However, lately, this only reverts (as you may see in my contributions). Is there any way to fix that or is a different key? Thank you. Hummerrocket (talk) 22:24, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
Never mind. :) But it occasionally doesn't work, like in the beginning. Hummerrocket (talk) 22:41, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

That's probably because newer Huggle doesn't send templates to users who recently (within last 2 minutes) received one from someone else. This can be disabled in settings. Petrb ( talk) 21:20, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

I am getting an error in Huggle. "Unable to retrieve data from wiki feed, last error: Query result doesn't contain any data". Can you please help me out. Thanks. Pkbwcgs ( talk) 16:29, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

Hello, that sounds like some network issue, also wiki feed is a last resort fallback in case IRC and XmlRcs doesn't work, so that also indicates you are having some network issues. My guess is firewall? Is that a corporate or school network? Petrb ( talk) 21:21, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

@ Petrb: No, I am editing from home. The system log just says "Unable to retrieve data from wiki feed, last error: Query result doesn't contain any data" approximately every 12 seconds. I have done a lot of vandalism fighting yesterday and today. My history records 399 edits using Huggle in one editing session. However, I am closed my laptop in the middle so could it have went down while it was closed? Will restarting Huggle work? Pkbwcgs ( talk) 22:00, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

Hmm OK in that case you can probably ignore that error. If you close your laptop it will go to sleep, meaning all your open TCP connections will die, including HAN IRC, RC Feed and all running API queries. When you wake it back up Huggle will write couple of errors related to failed TCP connections, and fallback to alternative RC feed. You can either restart Huggle to reconnect everywhere you should be connected to, or simply switch to XmlRcs feed and resume using it. Petrb ( talk) 22:43, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

@ Petrb: Now, I am getting a string of "failed to obtain diff" errors from the system log by changing to XmlRcs. Pkbwcgs ( talk) 22:52, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

Anyway, I have closed Huggle down for today. Tomorrow, I will try and get Huggle up and loading again and hopefully this error will not be persistent again. However, I won't restart it again for now. Pkbwcgs ( talk) 23:09, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

Hello,

As someone who's gaining experience with Huggle, I'd like to review only IP-changes to start out. That way, I would get used to the interface a lot more: and not have to accidentally template a user. Is there anyway that this is possible? Thanks. – eggofreason ^talk 01:41, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi, open preferences and create a new queue (click insert button and then click on new queue) with this settings (don't forget to hit Save button before you close preferences dialog), then pick that queue from list on left Petrb ( talk) 09:03, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

Also change "default for this site" to this new queue, and make sure queue is selected in main window. Petrb ( talk) 09:04, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

I have recently noticed that Huggle is not warning every user that I revert for vandalism. It warns some but not all users. I know that Huggle has a feature that bases a warning off the latest warning on a user's talk page but this occurs even if the user's talk page is empty. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks! ~ Philipnelson99 ( talk) 03:36, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

Sorry, but can't reproduce this myself, Huggle always deliver a warning to me. I strongly recommend checking system logs, you can also start Huggle with -v parameter to make them more verbose. If there is a reason for Huggle not to send a warning, it will say why in logs. If Huggle fail to send a message it will say why in logs. Petrb ( talk) 18:26, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

I'm still getting these errors, and I have been for serveral weeks now

Hi, I don't see the full log, is that a bot login? Did you grant Huggle permission to create new pages? Petrb ( talk) 20:32, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

Petrb, hi, I think that Shellwood and me are experiencing the problem too. See https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Nick_Mancuso&action=history for example, specifically diff 1, diff 2 and diff 3. I sadly did not run Huggle in a terminal. Is there a way to retrieve relevant logs on Windows 10? Neither the Win10 "log explorer" application nor the Huggle folder nor my AppData folder seem to contain Huggle-related logs. ~ ToBeFree ( talk) 21:40, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

Yes it's possible to get the logs in Windows, they are in system logs tab of Huggle, if you want to have them in a file, you can start Huggle with parameter --syslog, for example --syslog C:\some_folder_you_can_write_in\huggle.log I believe that problem you have is that your bot login doesn't have permissions to create new pages. Petrb ( talk) 22:40, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

@ Petrb: Ah, thanks. About the bot permissions, oh, I should have checked that first. However, these are my settings, and they do look fine to me:

~ ToBeFree ( talk) 04:05, 24 December 2018 (UTC)

OK, can you also send me logs? I need to see if you also get API failures with cantcreate. Even better would be to get respective query dump, because just this error report is probably not going to be enough to convince anyone there is a bug in MediaWiki, but it's a good start.

@ Petrb: I had to change my bot permissions... Somehow I changed them without realizing it. Thanks ~ Philipnelson99 ( talk) 18:22, 24 December 2018 (UTC)

I have reported a number of people to AIV only later to discover that the level four warning was left weeks ago. Example: 174.87.209.84 ( talk). I manually left a warning. Also, if I may request, that the AIV report somehow indicate that an edit was beyond the warning increment restart limit. Sometimes older edits are useful. Thank you 05:15, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello, what exactly do you mean by "AIV report somehow indicate that an edit was beyond the warning increment restart limit"? If Huggle consider warnings too old, it ignores them. Petrb ( talk) 23:01, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

Regards to the above example, I had just reverted the IP. Huggle said something to the effect that the warning count was four and no more warnings would be posted to the anon's talk page. It gave me an option to report to AIV which I chose to do. The list included the one I had just reverted. The other edits on the list were a month old. The anon had a level 4 warning on their talk page, but it was nearly a month old. Shouldn't Huggle have restarted the warning count at one?

I have made the mistake of not carefully reading the dates of edits in cases such as this and reported people to AIV. Thanks Jim1138 ( talk) 10:45, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Another interesting event 188.39.51.170 ( talk) Had an old level 3 dated Oct 15, then a level 1 dated Nov 5. I reverted three minutes later and Huggle added a level 4. I don't think Huggle should have done that. Interestingly, the anon was blocked for a week shortly thereafter. Does Huggle employ a crystal ball? Jim1138 ( talk) 11:55, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Time for templates is defined in project configuration under key "template-age", but it's not specified on enwiki: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Huggle/Config.yaml so it falls back to default value, which is 30 days. So any templates that are not older than 30 days are still valid for Huggle. Petrb ( talk) 13:12, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Huggle/Deploying/DefaultConfig.yaml for documentation for the config page. Petrb ( talk) 13:13, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

@ Petrb: Just wanted to make sure before I edit Wikipedia:Huggle/Config.yaml (to fix this issue once and for all): do I simply insert template-age: -1 anywhere on that page (somewhere logical with a comment to make it easier to identify), which will result in Huggle ignoring warnings that are over one day old? — k6ka 🍁 ( Talk · Contributions) 11:26, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

Yes, that's how it works, you can also copy whole configuration page to your user space and start Huggle with --override-conf User:K6ka/test.yaml that way Huggle will load that project config so that you can test it. I strongly recommend discussing this change with others. It seems to me that 1 day is extremely short value. Petrb ( talk) 11:42, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

IIRC one day was the value Huggle 2 was configured to be, and I think that's also how ClueBot NG works as well. — k6ka 🍁 ( Talk · Contributions) 13:52, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

• I just had a mistaken block after Huggle automatically reported me after considering weeks old frivolous warnings. [2] I would say this feature needs modification or removal. Harmanprtjhj ( talk) 22:07, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

I'm getting this error when I try to log in to Huggle: "Login failed: Unable to parse the global configuration. See debug log for more details.: Query result doesn't contain any data." I don't know where the debug log is stored, and it's my home network, so no network firewall. Any help would be appreciated. My guess is it was due to the recent update, but I'm not entirely sure. — Rain Fall 06:49, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

That means it could download global config from meta, this is usually due to network issues. Try restarting Huggle? Check if you can indeed download the global config from https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&rvprop=content&rvlimit=1&titles=Huggle/Config.yaml&rawcontinue=1&format=xml Petrb ( talk) 10:05, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. I restarted the application, but that didn't help, so I re-installed it. Appears to be working fine now. — Rain Fall 04:37, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

I'm having the same issue, except that for me reinstall doesn't help. I'm trying to run 3.4.6 as a snap using Linux Mint 19.1. I can open the link you posted above in the browser without any issues. Any further suggestions? Melmann ^(talk) 23:08, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello, snaps are not super reliable at the moment, whole snap technology is still in cradle. I recommend compiling it from source code and running natively instead. Petrb ( talk) 09:42, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

I just upgraded to 3.4.6 from 3.4.3. I had 3.4.4 for a while but downgraded after experiencing this issue, without addressing it. 3.4.3 is the last version where this does not occur. I just came back after a break and updated my Huggle and am still experiencing this issue. The top menu bar, the processes, HAN and the sidebars have all increased in size to the point where the diff viewing area is only about 25% of my screen. There is a lot of white space between text (the font size in these areas has not increased) and the icons on the top menu bar are very big relative to the entire window. To top it all off, the text in the diff viewer is in a large font, which makes it difficult to read the content. The login screen also has issues with lots of white space between text and is now physically larger. Aspening ( talk) 04:53, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello, do you have UHD monitor? If yes, try disabling (or enabling) system scaling per instructions on download page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huggle/Download Petrb ( talk) 13:59, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

@ Petrb: Tried that; the icons are still bigger than they used to be but at least Huggle is usable for me now. Thanks! Aspening ( talk) 00:47, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

Can you provide a screenshot so that I can check if this is normal or not? If you were running old Huggle on UHD monitor without system scaling, then your icons were incorrectly smaller than they were supposed to be, so the size is probably correct now but you are not used to it. Petrb ( talk) 10:12, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

I recently got a chromebook, and am now running KDE 4.14.16 on crouton. Whenever I tried to install huggle with sudo snap install huggle, I get this message:

Also, for what it's worth, I tried going to the snap store, and it doesn't seem to be installing from there, either.   I dream of horses ( My talk page) ( My edits) @ 08:30, 1 February 2019 (UTC) (added to/reformatted message at 08:36, 1 February 2019 (UTC))

Hello, unfortunatelly snap technology is still in its cradle, so this is probably some bug within the snap system itself. I recommend building Huggle from source code, but that may be even bigger challenge in case you are new to Linux. Which distribution is this? Ubuntu? Is it possible for me to download and run this in VirtualBox? Petrb ( talk) 14:00, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

@ Petrb: Yes, this is ubuntu, but I'm not sure that this is a 'distribution' that you would normally get, but something you would download specifically for chromebook, with only konquerer coming pre-installed. One sec, I'll get the version of Ubuntu.   I dream of horses ( My talk page) ( My edits) @ 21:16, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

@ Petrb: I'm running Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS. These are the instructions I used to install it].   I dream of horses ( My talk page) ( My edits) @ 21:43, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

Hey Petrb, just wanted to let you know that I can now access both huggle and AWB through remote access. The text is smaller than I'd like, but I can still read it. The error linux crouton is throwing tends to be much less urgent if you can find a way to access another OS like I have.   I dream of horses ( My talk page) ( My edits) @ 08:19, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

OK, you can change font size in preferences for diff view Petrb ( talk) 10:16, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Here are some old instructions for compiling on Ubuntu https://github.com/huggle/huggle3-qt-lx/wiki/Building-on-Linux problem is that "Qt packages" differ in every Ubuntu version, so it may be a bit tricky to find the correct ones. Alternatively you can download whole Qt SDK from https://qt.io and then run ./configure with option "--qtpath ~/Qt/<version>/<compiler>` but this is a bit advanced stuff that expects knowledge of programming on Linux Petrb ( talk) 10:19, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

I plan on using Huggle in the future, what are the supported browsers? That is so I know when I decide to download it. Felicia (talk) 15:53, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

@ Felicia777: It isn't in a webbrowser, so what kind of browser you have doesn't matter. Huggle is most compaitable with Windows or Mac.   I dream of horses ( My talk page) ( My edits) @ 16:12, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

Huggle Keeps freezing up after awhile and all the page history goes away. It's really annoying when I have to keep logging back in. -- Thegooduser Life Begins With a Smile :) 🍁 02:27, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Also it keeps asking me to enter my password so it can log me out, right after I log In! -- Thegooduser Life Begins With a Smile :) 🍁 03:22, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello, which operating system and which Huggle version? Do you have any logs or screenshots? The issue with log-out is known and probably on Mediawiki side. We couldn't do much about it besides implementing feature that automatically log you back in as long as you save your password. Petrb ( talk) 14:02, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

Windows 10 , Huggle 3.4.6 -- Thegooduser Life Begins With a Smile :) 🍁 21:07, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

OK, can you provide Huggle logs and screenshot of "disappeared page history" when this bug happens again? Petrb ( talk) 10:17, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

It happens every time I leave the huggle window or lock my computer, every single time, lol -- Thegooduser Life Begins With a Smile :) 🍁 22:06, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

I'm moving to a new laptop. On my first use of Huggle after install, I managed to inadvertently un-dock all the user interface components shown here except #s 1, 2, 9, 10, and 12. The un-docked components have disappeared. How do I get back to a clean default interface? Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill)

Hi, here is how - if this helps you, feel free to incorporate it to Huggle manual so that it helps others in future http://mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Huggle

• Step 1 - Start Huggle and login, then check window (widget) called "system logs" typically it's located on bottom of main window, it will contain a path to Huggle home, here is example on my MacBook:

Sat Mar 2 18:51:14 2019  Home: /Users/petr.bena/Library/Application Support/Wikimedia/Huggle
Sat Mar 2 18:51:14 2019  Loading configuration
Sat Mar 2 18:51:14 2019  Huggle version 3.4.6 build: 3726 3.4.6

• Step 2 - shut down Huggle.
• Step 3 - navigate into Huggle Home, in my case "/Users/petr.bena/Library/Application Support/Wikimedia/Huggle" and either delete whole folder Configuration, or if you want to reset only layout and nothing else, then delete all _geometry and _state files you can see there.

That's it. Petrb ( talk) 17:53, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

Thanks. No joy with that procedure, but I found another way. A search on my Win10 system for filesystem object names containing huggle turned up a directory named Huggle in my user AppData>Local>Wikimedia. Renaming that to Huggle.sav and starting Huggle got me a default user interface layout. Cheers. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 20:50, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

The path is different on each platform, but it's always visible in system logs. Petrb ( talk) 21:16, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

Huggle won't let me login, it says I need openssl, and there seems to be no way I can get it.-- Thegooduser Life Begins With a Smile :) 🍁 03:46, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

That could fix the problem if you install libs system wide, but Huggle installer comes with openssl libraries, so this shouldn't happen. Petrb ( talk) 16:42, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

Please note this is very hard for me to debug since Windows is not a free OS, so I can't install a clean Windows to test this on. In all Windows I have access to Huggle works fine, but none of them are really "clean". Petrb ( talk) 13:39, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

I managed to get a clean Windows 10. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T216804 Petrb ( talk) 09:24, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

I found the cause and fix, for details check the phabricator task. Quick solution is to install VS VC 2013 redistributables for your architecture from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784 Petrb ( talk) 17:46, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

I installed and then Reinstalled huggle, Still does not work. :-( Thegooduser Life Begins With a Smile :) 🍁 21:05, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

Obviously that doesn't help (I didn't even say it would) - you need to install the VC redist package from link I provided or download installer for 3.4.6 again I just (few minutes ago) uploaded a new installer that installs the redist package for you. Petrb ( talk) 22:17, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

It's hard to say. Someone requested this feature in past but I don't know if I implemented it properly because I know almost nothing about "twinkle CSD log" as I don't use Twinkle.

Huggle started using a hodgepodge of languages in its top-of-page menu and the dropdowns there. I did not intentionally do anything to make this happen. I uninstalled and reinstalled Huggle, manually removed the Program Files/Huggle directory and did it again, and restarted the computer -- all without fixing this. Can you tell me how to persuade Huggle to use English again? Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 20:28, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

@ 1233: @ Rockstone35: @ Aroha220: Hi, guys! There was a case in which a user had an edit reverted due to suspected vandalism; this revert was undone after the user who reverted was told that it was a legitimate edit and not vandalism. But the scenario in my view exposed an issue with Huggle reversions: they don't always leave indications clear to infrequent Wikipedia users/editors of what's exactly going on.

The user who made the original edit did not know why the edit was reverted, and the edit summary was simply "( (HG) (3.4.6))". While HG is clickable (leading to Wikipedia:Huggle), an editor unfamiliar with Wikipedia may be overwhelmed and not understand what's really going on. I think Huggle should always leave a plain English edit description with explicit instructions to contact the user who used it, and in addition Huggle should allow the entering of a custom edit summary. WhisperToMe ( talk) 11:22, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

Hello, that is clearly a bug the edit summary should always contain a clear reason. Petrb ( talk) 08:59, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

@ Petrb: The edit summary stated (HG) (3.4.6) and User:Rockstone35 had used Huggle at that time. WhisperToMe ( talk) 12:47, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

Log file - there is a widget "system log" in Huggle that cointains these, just copy paste what you see in there. Petrb ( talk) 10:30, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

As you can see in the screenshot you posted, Huggle was processing some queries in background - the page history and user history is retrieved in moment when you open diff in Huggle window. Unlike diff itself these are not being precached, my guess is that if you waited few more seconds, they would appear. In the bottom of screenshot, right next to tab "Processes", is tab "System logs" which contain text I was asking for. Petrb ( talk) 11:43, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

What internet is that? How fast? It seems that connection is both slow and has some packet loss. What API response time can you see on bottom panel in Huggle? [REDACTED - Oshwah] 17:47, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

OK, but it definitely seems to be some kind of connection issues, there are many timeouts and also some queries never receive any data. What average API response time do you see? (It's in bottom panel with EPM and RPM) Petrb ( talk) 20:41, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

Petrb, api resp time 199ms -- Thegooduser Life Begins With a Smile :) 🍁 23:29, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

Just cross-posting here from GitHub to see if I'm the only one with an issue. I'm using latest Huggle with latest macOS Mojave (10.14.4) and the app completely crashes when I quit it and run it again. Surprisingly, when I restarted it (with windows restored), Huggle was working again. -- qedk ( t 桜 c) 22:18, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I answered on GitHub, this package is built with High Sierra to ensure compatibility with older MacOS as well, anyway I can run it both there and Mojave with no crashes whatsoever. No idea what you mean by "crashes system completely", you mean that whole OS crashes? Doesn't make any sense. Petrb ( talk) 11:34, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

@ Petrb: Yep, the whole system locks up, there's unusual visual artifacts on the screen and it is completely unresponsive to user input. -- qedk ( t 桜 c) 14:19, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello all. For some reason Huggle is marking all my edits as minor. Is there a toggle button on Huggle that has become triggered the wrong way? If so, where would I find it? I looked at the drop-down menus but am not seeing it. Turning Huggle off and back on doesn’t change it. My last resort is to delete the program and reinstall, but I’m not wanting to go there until I’ve tried everything else first. Thanks in advance! Jusdafax ( talk) 17:47, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

Hello I see only rollbacks marked as minor which is normal, you can toggle "software rollback" if you want Huggle to emulate rollback by doing edit, which shouldn't be minor. Petrb ( talk) 17:42, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Nope, it’s virtually all the Huggle edits, not just the rollbacks. It seems to me that there is some toggle I need to flip, but I can’t find it. Standing by for further thoughts, thanks. Jusdafax ( talk) 06:34, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Since it appears no one here knows, I’ll ask elsewhere or go back to using Huggle, warts and all. Jusdafax ( talk) 03:38, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I was checking your contributions and I can only see rollbacks marked as minor, all other edits you are doing with Huggle are marked as regular edits. So I really don't see what issue are you facing? Did you try changing preferences to software rollback? Petrb ( talk) 08:56, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi,

Is it normal that when Huggle writes a message for IP contributors, it signs twice, like here: [4]? It uses the template Bienvenue IP méritante. I don't know where to go to see the code to fix the problem so I'm asking here.

Thanks! — Antimuonium ^{U wanna talk?} 08:47, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello, no it's not normal. As you can see in documentation for configuration https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Huggle/Deploying/DefaultConfig.yaml Huggle is expecting templates to not contain four tildes, so you should probably change the template used to welcome IP users to some which doesn't. Petrb ( talk) 09:01, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

This is probably low priority. I have a second monitor on the HDMI port of my W10 laptop, huggle pops up (some?} stuff on the laptop screen instead of the monitor where I have the Huggle window. This is most bothersome on clicking the Page tab -- the other tabs show pulldown menus, but this one pops up a window on the screen I'm not looking at. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 11:17, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

This is probably related to this task I created now https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T223223 Petrb ( talk) 10:22, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Wtmitchell - Next time that a window opens on the wrong monitor, just move the window to the correct place, and then close it by going to File --> Exit... NOT by clicking on the 'X' on the top-right corner. Using the proper File --> Exit method of closing a window or program will prompt Windows to save where it was located last time on your screen, and will open it in the same place next time. Clicking on 'X' won't do that except in circumstances where that information was coincidentally needed anyways. Ever since I found this solution, it's worked each time for me without fail. Give that a try and let me know if this works. :-) ~Oshwah~ ^{(talk) (contribs)} 04:47, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

See User_talk:Oshwah#Huggle. Interstellarity T 🌟 00:43, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

@ Interstellarity, Oshwah, and Cacycle: to me this sounds like implementing User:Cacycle/wikEdDiff.js over an entire article. Someguy1221 ( talk) 03:35, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

Someguy1221 - I haven't implemented this script before (that I can remember), but if it adds a diff alongside the latest revision of the page, then this is what Interstellarity is looking to do. :-) ~Oshwah~ ^{(talk) (contribs)} 04:16, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

@ Oshwah: so that's not quite what it does, but I feel like it's close. It basically takes the diff and smooshes the before and after into a single text, with anything from a character to whole sections color-coded to indicate added/removed/unchanged, and I'd say it gives a good ol' college try at showing text that moved. Like normal diffs, it still omits portions of the article that are unchanged. That's I guess what I meant by, "over an entire article", that I think this script minus that omission would be what Interstellarity is looking for. My understanding is that wikEdDiff actually would give that as an output, but for the "clipping" sections of the code at User:Cacycle/diff.js. Someguy1221 ( talk) 06:24, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I am not entirely sure I understand what exactly you want Huggle to do - if it's displaying the diff in similar way as MediaWiki does it (what you see when you press O), then this is probably doable, although it requires some coding, it's not complicated change. Or do you expect something more? I don't think even MW highlights the changed parts in the page itself, only in the diff itself? Petrb ( talk) 19:54, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

Also keep in mind MW doesn't show diff with latest revision of the page - it shows the diff with exactly the revision to which the diff belongs to. I don't think there is any point in seeing diff and possibly unrelated version of the page. Petrb ( talk) 19:56, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

After sending someone their first warning, Huggle will always fail to send them additional ones. I always have to do this via Twinkle and it's getting kind of tedious... I'm on Huggle 3.4.8. Saucy ^{talk – contribs} 18:31, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello, can you please send us logs from "System log" tab? This could be related to feature where Huggle doesn't send consecutive warnings if user was last warned less than 2 minutes ago - this is to avoid bombarding users with warning templates, without letting them have time to actually read them (it often happens that someone makes 3 bad edits, then someone else revert all 3 bad edits and sends 3 warning templates in same time, which is just wrong). Petrb ( talk) 08:58, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

Yes, the log often says the talk page was edited too recently, even if the last edit was way longer than 2 minutes ago. Saucy ^{talk – contribs} 18:44, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

OK, in that case it's probably not a bug. If you don't want to use this feature, you can disable this in Huggle preferences. Petrb ( talk) 12:47, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

Where exactly do I disable it? This feature is very broken for me Saucy ^{talk – contribs} 06:46, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

Preferences -> Warnings -> Confirming -> uncheck all. Petrb ( talk) 20:24, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

Petrb, what's the threshold time that Huggle looks for on the user talk page and when it was last edited before it will warn a user again if these options are enabled? Is there an easy way that we can add an option below these tickboxes in the Huggle settings order to allow users to customize and set that threshold value to something different? I think that these options are important to have enabled, but I'd like to be able to set that threshold value myself. I think that simply having an integer input box in the Huggle settings under those tick boxes would be perfect; just let users set in minutes how long after the previous edit made to the target user talk page with a warning should be before Huggle will leave the next warning message... assuming that this option is enabled above with the tick boxes. :-) ~Oshwah~ ^{(talk) (contribs)} 04:56, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

Also, perhaps making the following customisable:

• How old an edit is before it no longer warns a user.
• If dealing with an IP user, how long ago since they got their last warning before it no longer escalates from one level to the next (level one warning, level two, level three, etc.)   I dream of horses ( My talk page) ( My edits) @ 05:07, 14 June 2019 (UTC) (added three words at 05:08, 14 June 2019 (UTC))

Hello, it's these parameters in user config page ( /info/en/?search=User:Petrb/huggle.yaml.js) Petrb ( talk) 20:00, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

# // If true you will not warn users who received a warning recently
confirm-on-recent-warning: true
# // If warning was sent less than N seconds ago it's considered too recent
recent-warning-time-span: 120
confirm-warning-on-very-old-edits: true

I just figured out there was a bug though! This option was not being stored in user config (skip-warning-on-confirm). So in stable Huggle builds this needs to be changed every time when you start Huggle. Petrb ( talk) 20:05, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

How do I stop Huggle from adding IP talk pages to my watchlist? Interstellarity T 🌟 13:00, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

There's an option under System, Options, Warnings: Watch the talk page of a user who received a warning from you. However, disabling that option does not work. My solution: before every Huggle session, I create a backupfile of my entire watchlist. After the session I restore it. - DVdm ( talk) 13:13, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

Didn't know this doesn't work - the option in preferences actually prevents Huggle from explicitly requesting the page to be added to your watchlist. There are some additional watchlist preferences, by default Huggle doesn't override them, which means your on-wiki preferences are followed. Most of users automatically add pages they create to their watchlist (which is even talk page of IP user). Solution is either to disable this on wiki (in your preferences), or change the override in Huggle. If that doesn't work either, let me know and I will trace it down. Petrb ( talk) 13:20, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

The option I mean is "Add pages I create and files I upload to my watchlist" in Special:Preferences Petrb ( talk) 13:21, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

@ Petrb:, yes, I have all the watchlist addition options enabled in my preferences, because that is how I like it when I edit (or revert) "manually" (i.e. off-Huggle). That implies of course that Huggle will also add these entries, so I restore my watchlist immediatley (or some time) after the session. I keep my watchlist in a dropbox textfile, so I have access to multiple old versions and everwhere I go. I have semi-automated the process with two functions in Autohotkey. I can perfecly live with that, so there's no need to fix or change anything . - DVdm ( talk) 13:49, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

DVdm, I saw an option for "Preference for watchlist when editing or creating a page". I set it to "Do nothing". I don't quite understand your solution. I will try to see if it works. Interstellarity T 🌟 13:22, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

This should work - if it doesn't it's a bug. Petrb ( talk) 13:30, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

@ Interstellarity:, go to /info/en/?search=Special:EditWatchlist/raw and copy/paste into or from a textfile. But I see that you already found a satisfactory way to enforce your preference. - DVdm ( talk) 13:49, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi everyone! I'm currently experiencing an issue with about 40% of the edits in my queue. Huggle fails to retrieve the edit history of the user who made the change, and no user info is populated into the user info UI portion of Huggle. Furthermore, Huggle fails to roll back any edits that fail to retrieve the user's history if I try to do so.

Here's what the log looks like when such an edit is looked at:

Mon Jul 1 04:19:08 2019 Unable to retrieve data from wiki feed, last error: Query result doesn't contain any data

Mon Jul 1 04:19:04 2019 ERROR: Unable to retrieve history for user: Dan_22212

Mon Jul 1 04:19:04 2019 ERROR: Unable to retrieve history

Huggle appears to interpret the API results as having no data whatsoever. These errors are popping up like crazy in my Huggle system logs. Is this an issue with Huggle, or maybe the API? Is anyone else experiencing this problem? I'll paste my system logs below so they can be looked at:

Let me know if there's anything else I can provide. Cheers - ~Oshwah~ ^{(talk) (contribs)} 11:30, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

This might be a problem with the API. It's suddenly starting to work a lot better now... ~Oshwah~ ^{(talk) (contribs)} 11:32, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

I have Huggle launched on a VM (Windows 7 32-bit), and it seems to be working fine so far while the Huggle I'm running on my main computer is having these issues with retrieving data from the API... not sure what's going on... ~Oshwah~ ^{(talk) (contribs)} 12:15, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Works fine to me it looks like wikimedia servers had some kind of outage. Petrb ( talk) 21:31, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Petrb - Thanks for responding and for looking into what's going on. I'm still having this issue now (this is a Windows 10 x64 machine), but what's strange is that I ran Huggle on my MacBook Pro in a Windows 7 virtual machine and it works just fine. Is there maybe a library or distributable that I may be missing (Like a Microsoft language or other distributable)? It's strange, because I don't believe I've had this issue in the past when using Huggle on this PC. The only thing that's changed has been going from using an Ethernet connection to a WiFi connection, but my laptop (Windows 7 on a VM with MacOS) is also on WiFi, so... I'm not sure what the connection or cause may be. Do you have any thoughts? Are there any specific logs that I should collect and provide to you other than the system logs list that's displayed live on the Huggle UI? ~Oshwah~ ^{(talk) (contribs)} 05:47, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

Petrb - Wow, so I launched Huggle just now, and I couldn't login because it couldn't even parse the global config ("query contained no data" error). Closing and re-launching Huggle resolved that error. It seems to work fine for the first minute, then it just can't parse any queries. More logs:

Running Huggle as an administrator does nothing to resolve it. What the heck is wrong with my installation?!! This is weird... lol ~Oshwah~ ^{(talk) (contribs)}

Do you have some firewall / antivirus? If yes, try to disable it. Petrb ( talk) 21:07, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

Petrb - The only software I have that might interfere with Huggle is Deep Freeze; no antivirus or firewall enabled on the Windows 10 PC. I'll try booting with Deep Freeze turned off, update, and see what happens... ~Oshwah~ ^{(talk) (contribs)} 01:46, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

Petrb - After taking some time to troubleshoot the issue, I believe that the problem is being caused by my network card. I bought a new WiFi card last week, and I'm getting issues with Huggle as noted above. As soon as I disable it, use my phone as a tether, and connect to the same network - the issue no longer occurs. I'm going to RMA it as defective (I'm quite convinced that it's dropping packets), and I think we can call this matter closed. I appreciate your input and assistance. :-) ~Oshwah~ ^{(talk) (contribs)} 12:21, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

Huggle stopped using English in its labels and prompts on my laptop with Win10-64. I've been moving things around on the system, and I may have done something to cause this.

I've run into a somewhat minor, somewhat major problem with Huggle. Whenever I revert a user using the button that reverts and warns, it works as intended. But if I revert the user a second time not long after, it doesn’t warn them, even if I use the warn button.

I'm getting really sick of Huggle refusing to send warnings after reverts because it thinks the edit was over 1 day old, even if the edit clearly wasn't. This has happened several to me just now, and most of the reverted edits were just minutes (sometimes just seconds!) old. Has anyone else encountered this? It seems to be a serious bug.

And it's still saying I can't log in because I don't have Rollback permissions. Any suggestions? -- Jorm ( talk) 17:03, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

@ Jorm: in Special:BotPasswords be sure to enable "Rollback changes to pages". — xaosflux ^Talk 17:11, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

@ Xaosflux: to the surprise of no one, I am an idiot, and that was the problem. Thank you! I thought I had added it back but I guess I hadn't.-- Jorm ( talk) 17:16, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

@ Jorm: glad to hear you are working now! For anyone who finds this later a concept to keep in mind with "BotPasswords" - the "access' in bot passwords isn't really "access" it is a "filter", and by default it filters of your already existing access from being usable. For example, adding an allowance in botpasswords for "rollback changes to pages" won't do anything if your account doesn't actually have access to the rollback permission. Hope that helps! — xaosflux ^Talk 17:19, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

I downloaded Huggle and tried running it on Mac 10.11 El Capitan, but I got error "Huggle cannot be opened because of a problem". What should I do?. Thanks. – Ammarpad ( talk) 23:55, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

I'd like to use the new Huggle 3 but it kept saying "ERROR: api.php responded with unknown result: WrongToken". I am using 2-factor signin so I use a bot password. Neither the UserName + BotName@<toknen> nor the UserName@BotName + <token> combination allows me to signin. It keeps saying "WrongToken", did I do something wrong? Xinbenlv ( talk) 22:02, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

Maybe you aren't providing the correct token or it doesn't have privileges it needs? Petrb ( talk) 08:46, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

This is how bot login looks: Petrb ( talk) 08:50, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

@ Xinbenlv: Working fine on my side. Try checking if you've granted the bot password these permissions: mw:Manual:Huggle/Bot passwords. — Rutilant ( talk) 09:05, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Xinbenlv - Echoing what Petrb said above regarding the bot password and granting it the correct / necessary permissions, but you could also try removing and re-creating a new bot password if you find that the permissions you gave to it are correctly set. There are times where I've had to take a break from Wikipedia for personal reasons, and I came back to find that my bot password was no longer working. Creating a new one resolved it for me. I might be wrong, but if one doesn't authenticate using the bot credentials they created and use it for some time, I believe that it becomes stale and locked from use for security purposes, which forces you to create a new one if you find that it's no longer functioning... ~Oshwah~ ^{(talk) (contribs)} 22:19, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

Update Aug 15th 2019, it still not works regardless that I check all the permissions and reset the password. Is it because Rollback permission is required and that I don't have it? Here is my ERROR: api.php responded with unknown result: WrongToken Xinbenlv( t) ^{please notify me with {{ ping}}} 09:21, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Reinstall Huggle, and make sure that the Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 redistributable is installed onto your machine as well. You can download it from here. I believe that it's bundle with the Huggle installer, but you can use that link to download the redistributable package by itself. Make sure that your SSL libraries are still installed as well. You can go here to download an installer that will put those onto your machine and add it to your system's environment as a target. Let me know if this fixes the issue.

Hey I downloaded Huggle but while logging in it says that login failed (on enwiki). Authentication requires user interaction which is not supported by the action login. Can anyone please tell me what to do? Andrew Base ( talk) 06:42, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

@ Andrew Base:Hi greetings, which way was used to login in huggle- Bot password or legacy? If you are using your normal account and password for login, you can use legacy. But if you have a bot password (please see Wikipedia:Huggle/Privacy), you can use botpassword login. You may have tried to log in using the normal password on the botpassword login.-- PATH SLOPU 08:57, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

@ Path slopu: I used the legacy option but still it says login failed. Andrew Base ( talk) 09:07, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

Andrew Base - Try creating a new bot password and using that one to log in. If I haven't used a bot password for some time, it stops working when I use it to log in and creating a new one resolves the issue. This might be a security measure that's done purposefully... Let me know if this resolves your issue. ~Oshwah~ ^{(talk) (contribs)} 12:36, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi Oshwah, I used the bot password login and it was successful. I have started using Huggle and it is working well. Andrew Base ( talk) 13:33, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

If you click on an edit revision that was deleted inside the Huggle network chat, Huggle will proceed to crash trying to open it. – Ανδρέας  ^{talk | contributions} 21:37, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

Hello.

When I change my configuration, the changes work fine before exiting. For example, today I changed my configuration to not display edits with an ORES score lower than 200. So then I quit out of Huggle then relaunch it, and boom, my queue is abnormally packed and -100 edits are popping up left and right. Why is this happening? | abequinn ^fourteen 21:41, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

Hello on my pc in huggle the main toolbar is not appearing so I am reverting vandalism using the page option. Can someone help? Pinging Girth Summit as he has recently gave me some advice about huggle. Andrew Base ( talk) 09:32, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

Andrew Base, hi - do you mean the toolbar with the arrow buttons and the 'revert and warn user' options etc? It's possible to move this by grabbing the row of little dots at one end of it, and to put it in a different part of the screen - are you sure you haven't just moved it somewhere else? It's also possible to remove it entirely - if you've done this, you need to right-click where it says 'Tools', and reenable to toolbar. GirthSummit _(blether) 09:42, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi Girth Summit, I think I've removed it. I will try to re-enable the tool when I'm back home. Andrew Base ( talk) 09:46, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi, users. Well, acting on the ptwiki, I acidentally closed the newest editions windows... and, fairly, I don't know how to undo it. Obviously, it must be pretty easy, but, considering that I've checked all the shortcuts about Huggle and none of them help me, I was required to ask for instructions. Thanks.

Have you tried hitting “load”? I’ve had this issue where keyboard shortcuts won’t respond but hitting “load” reloads it entirely and goes back to normal. Hope this helps a little for now, assuming you don’t mean the entire application crashes. TheEpTic ( talk) 12:33, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Pretty frequently, I've had issues with Huggle refusing to warn a user because their "talk page was edited too recently", but when I check the talk page, the last comment was far over the two-minute (from my quick read of the source) threshold. For instance, my level 3 and 4 warnings on User talk:86.176.36.102 both only happened after I told Huggle to ignore the "talk page was edited too recently" warning, despite being 10-15 minutes apart. Any idea how I could go about troubleshooting this? Gaelan 💬 ✏️ 20:37, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

I just discovered that my Wikipedia time zone setting hadn't been updated to reflect DST—maybe that was the issue? Gaelan 💬 ✏️ 21:00, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Probably. -- Thegooduser Life Begins With a Smile :) 🍁 21:04, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Thegooduser, nope. Huggle just warned me before my L2 warning on User_talk:101.118.27.179, despite a gap of nearly 30 minutes. Gaelan 💬 ✏️ 03:21, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

I too have been experiencing this issue. It doesn't make much sense, since Huggle should be able to figure out time zone differences if it's using your computer's clock as reference. Huggle has not had this issue previously either, so I'm not sure why it's been practically refusing to warn users. — k6ka 🍁 ( Talk · Contributions) 19:00, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

K6ka, I think I found the bug. I'll send a PR in shortly. Gaelan 💬 ✏️ 19:23, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

When I revert a user and the user has already been warned by clicking the revert and warn button, Huggle does not warn the user again. Any help? Interstellarity ( talk) 22:54, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

Answering this question requires diffs or a specific page to look at. ~ ToBeFree ( talk) 18:40, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

@ ToBeFree (mobile): Here's an example: First, I click the revert and warn button on Huggle, this edit is reverted, the user is warned. Second, I click the revert and warn button again (I am sure I clicked the revert and warn button not the revert button.), this edit is reverted, but the user is not warned a level 2 warning. Does this make sense to you? Interstellarity ( talk) 19:04, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

Ah. Interstellarity, could you try disabling "Don't ask for any confirmation" in your Huggle options, "Warnings" tab? Alternatively, the configuration can be changed like in Special:Diff/927329446. ~ ToBeFree ( talk) 20:10, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

ToBeFree, I believe this resolves the problem. Thanks ToBeFree!! :-) Interstellarity ( talk) 20:31, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

Hey, nice to hear! You're welcome, Interstellarity, and thank you very much for the feedback. Feel free to ask on this page again if new questions arise or the issue remains unexpectedly. ~ ToBeFree ( talk) 20:33, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi greetings, I've tried to login with huggle to testwiki. But it shows an error message that it needs latest version 3.4.20. I am using huggle 3.4.9 in enwiki with no problems.

Hi Path slopu, you have already fixed the issue in the testwiki configuration. ~ ToBeFree ( talk) 11:35, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

Hello! I just got rollback permissions so I started using Huggle. I was using "G" to mark an edit as good when nothing was wrong with it. I decided to check my edit history later to make sure I didn't make any mistakes, and I noticed I had made over 50 edits! I had apparently been welcoming every editor whose edits I had marked as good. Obviously, a part of this is my fault; I should've double-checked the documentation on that button beforehand, but it seemed like it would just skip over that edit, so I didn't even check. TheAwesome Hwyh 16:56, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi TheAwesomeHwyh, now I remember I wanted to look this up on my desktop computer and reply to you. Thank you very much for the feedback. In the Huggle preferences, there is an option for this, "Send a welcome message to users who have empty talk pages on good edits". In the "Page" menu, not the options, there is another option to automatically send a "Thanks" notification to registered users for good edits. You may like to use these two options to configure the behavior of the "good edit" key. ~ ToBeFree ( talk) 21:48, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

So it's admittedly been a while since I've used Huggle, but I just now tried to open it. It successfully (as far as I can tell) signed in via the bot password method. Then it closed a few seconds after the main window opened without anything entering the queue. I made sure I was up-to-date. I couldn't find a log or anything in Huggle's program files, but Windows Event Viewer recorded the error, so I've included the details from that below. The title of the collapsed text, in order, is the "Level" (of the error), Date and Time, Source, Event ID, and "(Task Category)".

Can there be a dark theme for huggle? -- Thegooduser Life Begins With a Smile :) 🍁 22:56, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

The server that STiki is hosted on went down and the tool officially broke today. Since the only other good tool is Huggle, I'll be switching to here. However I've found that the program is really buggy and the interface is really confusing. The last time I used Huggle regularly (Jan 2016) the program was much easier to navigate and the edit queue was clear. With the latest version sometimes no edits pop up in the queue and I'm stuck with an empty screen. Hitting the load button opens the same page every single time. CatcherStorm ^talk 18:59, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

Feature request: when mobile users click on "this edit" links in templates such as Template:Huggle/warn-1, it will show the diff on the desktop website. To maximize ease of use, the diff should adapt to the user's platform. When on mobile, I find the mobile diff interface easier to read that the desktop one.
