First off, i understand that this idea is most likely not executable due to the technical challenges involved with it, but just for the sakes of creativity (Or maybe a good laugh) ill post it anyway.
One of the big limitations i always encountered during vandalism patrol, is that if more users are helping only very marginal speed gains are accomplished. This is mostly due to the fact that each and every user will check the same edit, no matter how many people have already ignored it as being ok. Huggle itself seems to be able to filter reverts from trusted user out, but can't do the same for edits where no action has to be taken.
What if huggle was grid computing based? If Huggle would have a main server which sends out the same edit only 2-3x for several active patrol to check, it means that the other hugglers don't have to focus their attention on those edits. Of course 100 users checking 1 edit is more reliable, but if there isn't any detected vandalism with 3 people, there won't be much change in detection misses.
As i said its probably technically and time-wise impossible, but maybe its a usuable idea on some other level :) Excirial ( Talk, Contribs) 13:38, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
Half the names were removed from the User list by this edit: [1]. I was among those removed and was wondering if there was any particular reason. This confused me. Spencer T♦ C 21:14, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
A few times I have used Huggle to revert unexplained removal of content or obvious POV and using the handy warnings provided by Huggle. What started bugging me however, is that while such edits are non constructive, they're not necessarily "vandalism". They may even be good faith edits by new editors unfamiliar with the rules. A good example is in the recent history of Curry. ( this diff for example. Wasn't done by huggle but native rollback was used)
My question is, are we technically violating the rules for using the rollback feature by making such reverts if the edits are not vandalism? (or am I just " wikilayering")? Another issue is should the warnings for such edits be "leveled" warnings?-- Ron Ritzman ( talk) 02:59, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

When pressing the edit button in Huggle, could it go to where the last edit was made.

This would be especially helpful on long articles.-- Natl1 ( Talk Page) ( Contribs) 13:14, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
I'd like an option to have the changes list (the large article list on the left) be relocated to the right of the application. My eyes are focused on the right column looking for changes, and by having the list on the right I can easily read what the warning levels are for upcoming articles.
I'd also like an option to automatically trim articles in the queue. I know there is a trim function now, but being able to have it repeat every so often automatically would help when Wikipedia gets busy.
Also, whenever I update my options, Huggle fails to write them to my configuration page. I have to keep changing them back every time I open Huggle. Might be something specific to my account. tj9991 ( talk) 16:41, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

When I do New Page patrol with Huggle, my sessions usually end with Huggle displaying back and forth two pages in a sequence so rapid that I am unable to tag either one of them (like four times each per second).

Why are anonymous IPs allowed to use Huggle? It's a deadly tool in the hands of the wrong people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.72.233.28 ( talk • contribs)
As an unfortunate side-effect of Huggle's efficientness, I sometimes make a mistake and hit the Revert button on a good edit. By the time I realize that I shouldn't have done it, the server is already processing the reversion and it's too late to stop it by hitting the Escape button. Afterwards, I have to use Twinkle's "Undo recent actions" feature to revert myself. It seems to me that many of these mistakes could be stopped by adding a delay of a few seconds between the user pressing the Revert button and Huggle sending the request to the server (or however that works). This delay could be changed or turned off in a user's preferences. During the delay, if the user presses "Cancel all pending actions", Huggle will actually do cancel them. — Insanity Incarnat e 19:10, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
Hello all. Must admit to getting slightly frustrated with fellow hugglers today who just hit the "revert and warn" button for everything, be it vandalism, unexplained removal of content, removal of csd/AfD templates, unsourced information, mistakes made in wiki markup, even edits for which good faith can quite reasonably be assumed. I've seen a number of editors today have their edits reverted, been slapped with a vandalism warning and not have any idea why. This often leads to re-posts of the same material with edit summaries such as "I don't know why this was removed". Inevitably these then get reverted and another warning issued and within half an hour the user is scared off. I know the other revert edit summaries aren't working properly yet but the custom one does work, though very few editors seem to use it. Lost count of the number of times I was half way through a custom edit summary explaining my revert and then see another editor just hit the revert and warn button. Is there anyway to strongly encourage huggle users to slow down a little and use the custom edit summary button? Anyway to message users? This is the sort of thing that turns people and admins off Huggle. Sorry to moan at all you wonderful people!! Avnjay Talk 20:32, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
I don't use the "revert and warn" button anymore. I use the revert button and then pick the warning most suitable to the edit. A custom edit summary would be ideal but as long as the "warning" fits the edit, it's not that big of a deal.
Come to think of it, perhaps the "revert and warn" button should just be removed and replaced with a "revert good faith" button like twinkle has for use on edits one is 100% certain are not vandalism but nevertheless need reverting. -- Ron Ritzman ( talk) 00:41, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
As a side note, I just removed a huggle user's access, and warned another for revert/warning to ADD unsourced BLP content back in (unacceptable under ANY circumstance) and disruptively reverting good faith edits. If you're using Huggle you better damn well know our policies -- with great power comes great responsibility. ⇒ SWATJester Son of the Defender 06:26, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
When I sign into huggle, it says my account has been "blocked from editing" and "you may need to restart huggle to edit pages". Huggle proceeds to start but I can't edit or warn. My account is not blocked (obviously). Whats wrong? Washburnmav ( talk) 23:25, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
ElseIf Result.Contains("<div class=""permissions-errors"">") Then
. Then, it goes to the function that says "You have been blocked." I'm not sure why you get this error, though.

Sorry to seem redundant, but this still hasn't solved my issue. I have this problem on one computer, and not the other, despite the fact that I am using the same account on both. It still maintains that I have been blocked from editing. Washburnmav ( talk) 21:51, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
That's all good to know, but the fact is I still can't use Huggle and nothing here has helped. It says I'm blocked from editing. Can this be addressed or I am a hopeless case? Washburnmav ( talk) 21:06, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

[4] Enigma message 22:06, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
With the exception of page blankings, if you see large amounts of text being removed from an article, before you click that big red button make absolutely sure that you are not reverting the removal of unsourced content from a BLP even if the edit in question doesn't have an edit summary. In many such cases, the content was properly removed by a new editor or an IP user who knows the content doesn't belong but doesn't yet know how to use edit summaries. It might even be the subject of the article himself.
I was warned for doing this earlier and another editor got his huggle access revoked. -- Ron Ritzman ( talk) 12:22, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps an autotrim feature can be added? I'm temporarily running a desktop that has vista installed and it keeps freezing up when the queue gets too long. Perhaps an autotrim function where it can chop off revisions older than n minutes (not one time trim, one that it'd keep autotrimming by itself)? Thanks. - Jameson L.

{{ resolved}} This is about the problem I reported earlier. Addshore advised me to download the new version. I got 0.7.12 now and it seems the problem has changed :) Instead of the earlier message, it now says "Failed to retrieve user rights". I do have rollback rights [6] or is this about something else?

Is there any chance that there could be an option to use a custom template message, such as one created in the userspace, for reversions or messaging regarding page tags?

{{ resolved}} Every time with the new version of huggle, upon revert/warning a vandal with a level 4 warning, the bottom window simply displays "did not warn xxx because they already have a final warning" instead of prompting for an AIV report. Someguy1221 ( talk) 07:01, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
Hey. I used 0.7.11 just fine, but today it told me that my version was too old. So I downloaded and replaced it with 0.7.12. Now when I try to login, it goes until "Logging in..." or "Checking project configuration..." and then just dies. Alternatively it goes to "Checking global configuration page..." and then reports "Failed to load global configuration page". I suspected the firewall (I had to reinstall the OS a few days ago) but disabling it does not change the problem. I managed to login once after approx. 15 tries but I haven't been able to since then.

When tagging a page for deletion just before it actually gets deleted, this sometimes seems to happen. StaticGull Talk 14:03, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
OK, here's a wierd question, why does viewing this diff, and this diff alone, cause a strange humming noise to come through my speakers? I navigate away from that page, goes away...navigate back to it, noise returns. I go to a different diff of that page, noise goes away, return to that diff...Wtf? Someguy1221 ( talk) 04:00, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
I've been messing with this, and I notice the humming is actually always there when huggle is running (and not when it's not running), and the volume is proportional to the size of the diff I'm viewing. And it's definately the speakers because I can get it through my headphones too....wierd. Someguy1221 ( talk) 17:02, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
Its not Huggle specifically. Cant tell you what it is, but i've noticed it too for some reason with some programs it has that hum... — Ree dy 18:17, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
I would like to have {{ underconstruction}} added to the default list of cleanup templates. I use it a lot when on newpage patrol, when a new page is clearly speedable in its current state but there is hope that the creator will fix the problem pretty soon (e.g. "John Doe is a"). What this does is add the page to my contributions list without being bitey so that I can go back to it after I've closed Huggle. If the page has not been improved by then, I tag it for speedy. -- Blanchardb - Me• MyEars• MyMouth- timed 02:54, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Edits by User:Caspian blue and User:Gary King began showing up for me. ???? Gary King has many thousands of edits. What's going on with the whitelist? Enigma message 05:53, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
Why are anonymous IPs allowed to use Huggle? It's a deadly tool in the hands of the wrong people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.72.233.28 ( talk • contribs)
As an unfortunate side-effect of Huggle's efficientness, I sometimes make a mistake and hit the Revert button on a good edit. By the time I realize that I shouldn't have done it, the server is already processing the reversion and it's too late to stop it by hitting the Escape button. Afterwards, I have to use Twinkle's "Undo recent actions" feature to revert myself. It seems to me that many of these mistakes could be stopped by adding a delay of a few seconds between the user pressing the Revert button and Huggle sending the request to the server (or however that works). This delay could be changed or turned off in a user's preferences. During the delay, if the user presses "Cancel all pending actions", Huggle will actually do cancel them. — Insanity Incarnat e 19:10, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
Hello all. Must admit to getting slightly frustrated with fellow hugglers today who just hit the "revert and warn" button for everything, be it vandalism, unexplained removal of content, removal of csd/AfD templates, unsourced information, mistakes made in wiki markup, even edits for which good faith can quite reasonably be assumed. I've seen a number of editors today have their edits reverted, been slapped with a vandalism warning and not have any idea why. This often leads to re-posts of the same material with edit summaries such as "I don't know why this was removed". Inevitably these then get reverted and another warning issued and within half an hour the user is scared off. I know the other revert edit summaries aren't working properly yet but the custom one does work, though very few editors seem to use it. Lost count of the number of times I was half way through a custom edit summary explaining my revert and then see another editor just hit the revert and warn button. Is there anyway to strongly encourage huggle users to slow down a little and use the custom edit summary button? Anyway to message users? This is the sort of thing that turns people and admins off Huggle. Sorry to moan at all you wonderful people!! Avnjay Talk 20:32, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
I don't use the "revert and warn" button anymore. I use the revert button and then pick the warning most suitable to the edit. A custom edit summary would be ideal but as long as the "warning" fits the edit, it's not that big of a deal.
Come to think of it, perhaps the "revert and warn" button should just be removed and replaced with a "revert good faith" button like twinkle has for use on edits one is 100% certain are not vandalism but nevertheless need reverting. -- Ron Ritzman ( talk) 00:41, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
As a side note, I just removed a huggle user's access, and warned another for revert/warning to ADD unsourced BLP content back in (unacceptable under ANY circumstance) and disruptively reverting good faith edits. If you're using Huggle you better damn well know our policies -- with great power comes great responsibility. ⇒ SWATJester Son of the Defender 06:26, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
When I sign into huggle, it says my account has been "blocked from editing" and "you may need to restart huggle to edit pages". Huggle proceeds to start but I can't edit or warn. My account is not blocked (obviously). Whats wrong? Washburnmav ( talk) 23:25, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
ElseIf Result.Contains("<div class=""permissions-errors"">") Then
. Then, it goes to the function that says "You have been blocked." I'm not sure why you get this error, though.

Sorry to seem redundant, but this still hasn't solved my issue. I have this problem on one computer, and not the other, despite the fact that I am using the same account on both. It still maintains that I have been blocked from editing. Washburnmav ( talk) 21:51, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
That's all good to know, but the fact is I still can't use Huggle and nothing here has helped. It says I'm blocked from editing. Can this be addressed or I am a hopeless case? Washburnmav ( talk) 21:06, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
I tried installing Huggle to my computer. Something about needing a network pops up whenever I try to use it. What should I do about this problem? Hmrox ( talk) 02:26, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
It says
To run the following application you must have one of the following versions of the .NET Framework v2.50727 Contact your application publisher for instructions about obtaining the appropriate versions of the .NET Framework. Hmrox ( talk) 03:04, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
Would it be possible to add on optional {{Subst:uw-createn}}

With the exception of page blankings, if you see large amounts of text being removed from an article, before you click that big red button make absolutely sure that you are not reverting the removal of unsourced content from a BLP even if the edit in question doesn't have an edit summary. In many such cases, the content was properly removed by a new editor or an IP user who knows the content doesn't belong but doesn't yet know how to use edit summaries. It might even be the subject of the article himself.
I was warned for doing this earlier and another editor got his huggle access revoked. -- Ron Ritzman ( talk) 12:22, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps an autotrim feature can be added? I'm temporarily running a desktop that has vista installed and it keeps freezing up when the queue gets too long. Perhaps an autotrim function where it can chop off revisions older than n minutes (not one time trim, one that it'd keep autotrimming by itself)? Thanks. - Jameson L.

Would it be possible to have a prompt for a URL when tagging a page for a speedy G12? StaticGull Talk 13:53, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
This is only a cosmetic bug, but the recent changes list is not expanding all the way to the bottom of its area. It's hard to expalain, so here's a screenshot. You can scroll the list, but it wont expand down. - Sorf ane 07:29, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
{{ resolved}} This is about the problem I reported earlier. Addshore advised me to download the new version. I got 0.7.12 now and it seems the problem has changed :) Instead of the earlier message, it now says "Failed to retrieve user rights". I do have rollback rights [6] or is this about something else? Is this maybe something to do with the underscore on my username? Its "Chamal_N". BTW, thanks for the effort you guys have been putting into this so far. Chamal Talk 06:30, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
{{ resolved}} Huggle seems to be reverting reverts already made to an article to remove vandalism, thus placing the vandalism back, under my name. How do I stop this? Ecopetition ( talk) 00:15, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
It would be nice if "Show log" were one of our configurable options. I like having as much screen as possible to look at the diff so I uncheck "Show log" at the beginning of every session. -- JaGa ( talk) 04:24, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
Is there any chance that there could be an option to use a custom template message, such as one created in the userspace, for reversions or messaging regarding page tags?
For example being able to assign a custom message to the various speedy deletion notification template messages to perhaps make them a little more personal?
Or even the option to assign a custom template to all possible template messages? BigHairRef | Talk 20:38, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
{{ resolved}} Every time with the new version of huggle, upon revert/warning a vandal with a level 4 warning, the bottom window simply displays "did not warn xxx because they already have a final warning" instead of prompting for an AIV report. Someguy1221 ( talk) 07:01, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
Hey. I used 0.7.11 just fine, but today it told me that my version was too old. So I downloaded and replaced it with 0.7.12. Now when I try to login, it goes until "Logging in..." or "Checking project configuration..." and then just dies. Alternatively it goes to "Checking global configuration page..." and then reports "Failed to load global configuration page". I suspected the firewall (I had to reinstall the OS a few days ago) but disabling it does not change the problem. I managed to login once after approx. 15 tries but I haven't been able to since then. What's wrong? Oo So# Why review me! 14:47, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
When tagging a page for deletion just before it actually gets deleted, this sometimes seems to happen. StaticGull Talk 14:03, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
OK, here's a wierd question, why does viewing this diff, and this diff alone, cause a strange humming noise to come through my speakers? I navigate away from that page, goes away...navigate back to it, noise returns. I go to a different diff of that page, noise goes away, return to that diff...Wtf? Someguy1221 ( talk) 04:00, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
I've been messing with this, and I notice the humming is actually always there when huggle is running (and not when it's not running), and the volume is proportional to the size of the diff I'm viewing. And it's definately the speakers because I can get it through my headphones too....wierd. Someguy1221 ( talk) 17:02, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
Its not Huggle specifically. Cant tell you what it is, but i've noticed it too for some reason with some programs it has that hum... — Ree dy 18:17, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
I would like to have {{ underconstruction}} added to the default list of cleanup templates. I use it a lot when on newpage patrol, when a new page is clearly speedable in its current state but there is hope that the creator will fix the problem pretty soon (e.g. "John Doe is a"). What this does is add the page to my contributions list without being bitey so that I can go back to it after I've closed Huggle. If the page has not been improved by then, I tag it for speedy. -- Blanchardb - Me• MyEars• MyMouth- timed 02:54, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
When I click "send template message to user" and then "other message" it allows me to use another message template, but doesn't save the message for future uses. Is there a way to save it for easily reusing? Ctjf83 Talk 01:29, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
This is more appropriate for AWB, but I thought to mention it here anyway. A function that allows you to go after spam links will be highly appreciated. expecially something in which you can enter a base URL and the software selects the entire entry and presents a single click option to delete or allow.
