On using STIki and its diff-screen, I occasionally find myself turning to wiki-diff, since large and complex differences are more easily spotted there. Do other users have the same experience? If so, my - low priority - question is: can you reformat the diff-screen format and make it better? Yours, Super48paul ( talk) 13:46, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
Cool. I prefer the new colours too. They take a bit of getting used to, but they don't scream as hard as the old colours, which is especially useful for complex changes. I actually went so far as to change my common.css so that Schnarks diff has the new colours. See the image to the right. Yaris678 ( talk) 13:00, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Is something weird happening with the Cluebot-NG queue? The edits it is presenting are as old as 70 days at present. -- Greenmaven ( talk) 02:20, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
Something weird is going on and I am investigating. The STiki process normally causes loads of 0.25-0.50 on my machine. Loads are currently beyond 30.0. I made no changes to the software. This looks like threads getting caught in an infinite loop; but the API will also be a point of focus. West.andrew.g ( talk) 17:16, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
The edit processing in the backend is completely separate from that done with the client-side GUI (so the spikes are unrelated). New edits should be appearing in the queues, as I keep restarting the STiki process to debug. If it runs for too long, though, all threads become blocked and new edits won't get processed. I've currently determined this problem is happening in portions of code related to the diff-text (extracting features for uppercase ratios, character repetitions, etc.). This suggests to me that the WMF has tweaked the diff representation slightly, sending my parser into an infinite loop. West.andrew.g ( talk) 19:57, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
On Wikipedia:STiki/milestones, I've just noticed the latest user (Super48paul) who have been listed for the 5000 edits milestone has <5000 edits. On closer inspection, it turns out that, according to the leaderboard, the count is 5109 while the user's regular edit count is 3024. Why this difference? I just found out this can be seen with some more users. Am I missing something here? Ugog Nizdast ( talk) 06:29, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
Yes, the leaderboard counts classification actions (innocent + AGF + revert/guilty). Innocent classifications are valuable because they help refine our machine learning models for edit scoring. Also, handing out merit-based barnstars only on AGF/guilty actions (actual edits) is begging for edit-count-itis issues. West.andrew.g ( talk) 20:47, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

I just came across a classic diff (added text) that was left uncolored in the stiki window - so only really visible in the wiki-diff. Why is that? I had it before, but decided to mention it now.

Anyone with the same experience?! Super48paul ( talk) 07:30, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
It is a few days later now, a sunny sunday, and I am afraid stiki does it again: not coloring obvious additions or substitutions in edits. Then I have to switch over to wikidiff to actually be able to spot the difference(s). I did not bother to document the instances, but I have encountered 4 of them by now. Enough to ring this bell. Any ideas why? Or am I simply too impatient and have to wait a few more days for the next release.. Super48paul ( talk) 12:28, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
I'm curious whether this has happened to anyone else. I've noticed that sometimes (maybe in 2 out of 3 instances) it hangs up when kept minimised for long. I normally use it for a short while, minimise it, do some other work and when I try to use it again—that's when it happens. I sometimes put my system on standby so there will be a short network disconnection while it's minimised. Also If I'm not wrong, keeping it open like this for long will display stale edits (those already pre-loaded on mine but may get viewed by someone else later), so there are conflicts when reverting. I've saved the crash logs of some incidents and will post it here if needed. - Ugog Nizdast ( talk) 07:11, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

STiki is ingesting new edits, as I just popped a couple of the queue that were minutes old. STiki will not, however, go back in time to re-process the edits that occurred during its downtime. West.andrew.g ( talk) 16:38, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi Andrew,
Thanks for getting STiki up and running again. I thought you should know that I have been served this null diff by STiki. I think null edits were supposed to have been filtered out since a few years ago. Maybe the filter has been broken by some of the problems STiki has had recently.
Yaris678 ( talk) 22:22, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
This is likely related to the WMF change in diff format. I will investigate. West.andrew.g ( talk) 16:39, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
Added as T#038 to tracking table. This isn't terribly pressing (it's inconvenient, but doesn't lead to inaccurate work) and I have some busy-ness IRL, so it might be a bit before this one is rectified. West.andrew.g ( talk) 16:45, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
I love the new version of StiKi! Love the larger typeface. However, in my first tryout today, I found that the program froze after a couple of edits. I open up a new Stiki screen and it freezes again. I currently have three Stiki screens, all frozen, on my desktop. Did I do something wrong? Coretheapple ( talk) 17:25, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
It would be nice if there were a counter that showed how many classifications had been made in the current session so far, and/or how many edits to pages (in both article space and user talk space) so far. APerson ( talk!) 14:11, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
Okay, I'm still running on an older version, not the latest, but I've noticed, that post the period where Stiki went down recently, a lo of edits made by Admins/Rollbackers and some edits thru Huggle are coming in my queue. Is there a way from preventing these edits from coming onto the Stiki queue? I'm pretty sure they don't need to be undone? Maybe the Huggle whitelist can be used? -- Rsrikanth05 ( talk) 18:58, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
Click on "Revision Filters" in the menu and unselect "Edits by priviledged users". This will mean you no-longer see edits by admins, rollbackers or reviewers. Unfortunatley, this does mean that people who haven't unselected this option will then get an even higher frequency of such edits, because they get the ones you have filtered out. I suspect this is why there appears to be so many such edits now - because some users have already used the filter. Andrew may want to considering filtering these out of the queue altogether. Yaris678 ( talk) 13:33, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
If you download the latest version of STiki, the important option is not greyed out. Yaris678 ( talk) 09:23, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I do not meet the permissions required to use STiki, is it at all possible to obtain special approval? I really enjoy the knowledge Wikipedia has given me and would like to help keep it vandal free however I do not have the time to manually search for vandals and would find using this tool extremely helpful.
Fogest ( talk) 03:26, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
Moments ago, STiki crossed the 500,000 (half-a-million) revert threshold! User:Flyer22 committed this edit to bring us to this milestone and was barn-starred accordingly ( User:Widr was also in the running). This has been a couple of years and a lot of man-hours in the making, and I just wanted to thank everyone who has helped this project to succeed. Now, we turn our focus towards 1 million reverts and the continued protection of this incredible information resource. West.andrew.g ( talk) 20:46, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
Is it feasible to add more options for the AGF messages (other than the blank, General Revert, Joke Edit, Non-English Contribution, Non-Notable List, empty, Talk In Article, Non-English Contributions, and the four user custom warnings)? Templates like template:uw-test1 seem like useful additions to that list, but it is tedious to have to type them out in the user custom boxes. Epicgenius ( talk) 02:00, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Greetings STiki-ers! This release was forced somewhat by an (unannouced?) WMF change to diff representation. This screwed up my parser and was causing some STiki diffs to be incorrectly colored. Given that this is inaccurate behavior that could decrease revert quality, I was eager to push out the new version. Hopefully this haste hasn't led to any errors. Changes include:

Is it possible for an IP to have STiki? 202.220.233.112 seems to be an IP with it. Zappa O Mati 02:56, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
Used STiki for the last 20-30 minutes, made probably 25-30 reverts. Noticed at the bottom there's a "conflict or error check page hist" problem. Upon opening my user contribs in a browser I see that zero edits have been made. I am logged in. Ideas? Should I leave it open in the hope that it catches up and all of those edits aren't lost? --— Rhododendrites talk | 23:31, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
STiki doesn't revert with me in the last half a day or so - it indicates that it does, but actually doesn't, and it is not that someone is beating me up to revert. Frustrating, as STiki doesn't keep a memory of what I was supposed to revert. Materialscientist ( talk) 03:52, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
When I logged in with my account, everything seemed fine. But when I started reverting, my reverts didn't come under the account that I used, but under my IP address. And I'm wondering if the problem mentioned in "IP with STiki" heading above also happened with me. ALittle Quenhi ( talk to me) 11:13, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
Ahhh! This was quite the thread to wake up to, and it seems to have developed quite quickly! I also noticed that overnight when my scripts went to update the revert-count/milestones/leaderboard that it also did not use my login credentials, but associated the edits to the machine's IP address. My first inclination is that the WMF has changed the login protocol, breaking STiki's code. It last did this a couple of months ago to cover itself after a major vulnerability was found in the login process. I will begin the investigation promptly and report back here -- I suspect an emergency release will be needed. West.andrew.g ( talk) 14:52, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

I think STiki is a good tool . But this can not be use on other wiki .I hope STiki can use on other wiki soon.It can shorten the RC Patrol work because many destructor on these page to make some destory or make some ads . 9shi ( talk) 16:29, 3 February 2014 (UTC)(on zh wiki 9shi)
My system monitoring has indicated that 'armstrong.cis.upenn.edu' has become unreachable. The problem is being researched. Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 21:04, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
Fixed -- I will regenerate the "milestones" and try to dig deeper into the root cause.

STiki is ingesting new edits, as I just popped a couple of the queue that were minutes old. STiki will not, however, go back in time to re-process the edits that occurred during its downtime. West.andrew.g ( talk) 16:38, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi Andrew,
Thanks for getting STiki up and running again. I thought you should know that I have been served this null diff by STiki. I think null edits were supposed to have been filtered out since a few years ago. Maybe the filter has been broken by some of the problems STiki has had recently.

This is likely related to the WMF change in diff format. I will investigate. West.andrew.g ( talk) 16:39, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
Added as T#038 to tracking table. This isn't terribly pressing (it's inconvenient, but doesn't lead to inaccurate work) and I have some busy-ness IRL, so it might be a bit before this one is rectified. West.andrew.g ( talk) 16:45, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
I love the new version of StiKi! Love the larger typeface. However, in my first tryout today, I found that the program froze after a couple of edits. I open up a new Stiki screen and it freezes again. I currently have three Stiki screens, all frozen, on my desktop. Did I do something wrong? Coretheapple ( talk) 17:25, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
It would be nice if there were a counter that showed how many classifications had been made in the current session so far, and/or how many edits to pages (in both article space and user talk space) so far. APerson ( talk!) 14:11, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
Okay, I'm still running on an older version, not the latest, but I've noticed, that post the period where Stiki went down recently, a lo of edits made by Admins/Rollbackers and some edits thru Huggle are coming in my queue. Is there a way from preventing these edits from coming onto the Stiki queue? I'm pretty sure they don't need to be undone? Maybe the Huggle whitelist can be used? -- Rsrikanth05 ( talk) 18:58, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
Click on "Revision Filters" in the menu and unselect "Edits by priviledged users". This will mean you no-longer see edits by admins, rollbackers or reviewers. Unfortunatley, this does mean that people who haven't unselected this option will then get an even higher frequency of such edits, because they get the ones you have filtered out. I suspect this is why there appears to be so many such edits now - because some users have already used the filter. Andrew may want to considering filtering these out of the queue altogether.

If you download the latest version of STiki, the important option is not greyed out. Yaris678 ( talk) 09:23, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
Done -- Fixed in source.

Hello, I do not meet the permissions required to use STiki, is it at all possible to obtain special approval? I really enjoy the knowledge Wikipedia has given me and would like to help keep it vandal free however I do not have the time to manually search for vandals and would find using this tool extremely helpful.

Moments ago, STiki crossed the 500,000 (half-a-million) revert threshold! User:Flyer22 committed this edit to bring us to this milestone and was barn-starred accordingly ( User:Widr was also in the running). This has been a couple of years and a lot of man-hours in the making, and I just wanted to thank everyone who has helped this project to succeed. Now, we turn our focus towards 1 million reverts and the continued protection of this incredible information resource. West.andrew.g ( talk) 20:46, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
Is it feasible to add more options for the AGF messages (other than the blank, General Revert, Joke Edit, Non-English Contribution, Non-Notable List, empty, Talk In Article, Non-English Contributions, and the four user custom warnings)? Templates like template:uw-test1 seem like useful additions to that list, but it is tedious to have to type them out in the user custom boxes. Epicgenius ( talk) 02:00, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

[[Image:Information.svg|25px]] Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia.
I noticed that you removed some content from [[#a#]] without explaining
why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your
changes to Wikipedia with an accurate [[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]].
If this was a mistake, don't worry: I restored the removed content. If you
would like to experiment, please use the [[WP:Sandbox|sandbox]]. If you
think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a
message on my talk page. Thanks! ~~~~
This seems reasonable. Once consensus is reached on these (or no one manages to complain) please transfer them to the page that Yaris mentioned. Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 07:00, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
In addition to uw-test1 and uw-blank1 mentioned above, I would like to propose three more templates which are in my custom message boxes and I frequently use:
I am a active user and make most of my contributions on the New York City Subway. This program here will be a great help to me. My account may look young, but I have made 100+ edits and made some edits that contributed to the overall article. Some include Assassins Creed 4, 6 Train service and my old high school. Most of my edits go towards the layouts and yhe services, but the program will enable me to revert them automatically. DePeeper ( talk) 02:48, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
Greetings STiki-ers! This release was forced somewhat by an (unannouced?) WMF change to diff representation. This screwed up my parser and was causing some STiki diffs to be incorrectly colored. Given that this is inaccurate behavior that could decrease revert quality, I was eager to push out the new version. Hopefully this haste hasn't led to any errors. Changes include:
As always, thank you for your continued support. West.andrew.g ( talk) 05:58, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Is it possible for an IP to have STiki? 202.220.233.112 seems to be an IP with it. Zappa O Mati 02:56, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
Used STiki for the last 20-30 minutes, made probably 25-30 reverts. Noticed at the bottom there's a "conflict or error check page hist" problem. Upon opening my user contribs in a browser I see that zero edits have been made. I am logged in. Ideas? Should I leave it open in the hope that it catches up and all of those edits aren't lost? --— Rhododendrites talk | 23:31, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
STiki doesn't revert with me in the last half a day or so - it indicates that it does, but actually doesn't, and it is not that someone is beating me up to revert. Frustrating, as STiki doesn't keep a memory of what I was supposed to revert. Materialscientist ( talk) 03:52, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
When I logged in with my account, everything seemed fine. But when I started reverting, my reverts didn't come under the account that I used, but under my IP address. And I'm wondering if the problem mentioned in "IP with STiki" heading above also happened with me. ALittle Quenhi ( talk to me) 11:13, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
Ahhh! This was quite the thread to wake up to, and it seems to have developed quite quickly! I also noticed that overnight when my scripts went to update the revert-count/milestones/leaderboard that it also did not use my login credentials, but associated the edits to the machine's IP address. My first inclination is that the WMF has changed the login protocol, breaking STiki's code. It last did this a couple of months ago to cover itself after a major vulnerability was found in the login process. I will begin the investigation promptly and report back here -- I suspect an emergency release will be needed. West.andrew.g ( talk) 14:52, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
