It would be great if we could have a link to automatically post a vandalism report on the noticeboard WP:AIV for a specific user. - Cwobeel (talk) 14:11, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
I don't have enough edits since I do editing in a different language Wikipedia as well. Does anybody think I could be given a trial period? Chocom ( talk) 18:36, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
My other user is here. I once tried to unify them but that wasn't a big success. I'm posting a copy of my original request to my user page, is that enough? גידיל ( talk) 19:18, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
Thanks. You are right, I don't have much (if any) experience in this but I have good intentions and hope that you will not regret putting your trust in me. Since I am relatively new, I hope that you will give me feedback on any thing needed. Chocom ( talk) 20:20, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
I'm a new user, a week old I believe, and I just wanted to say how impressed I am by this software now that I'm coming to terms with it. I had previously only been involved in a narrow area of interest, and suddenly whole new vistas have opened up because of the diffs served up to me. I'm not watchlisting my changes, but I have been dropping out to make edits occasionally, and my list has suddenly become much more interestingly varied.
I have noticed that once in a while, aside from the article title, the diff-browser is totally empty - I have marked the page "innocent" and moved on. Does this happen if somebody has already noticed a problem and done something about it in the meantime, outside of STiki?
All this constant judging of edits really makes you work hard though, keeps my ageing brain sharp.
I really only wanted to say thanks though, great contribution. - Roxy the dog ( resonate) 22:21, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
I have extended knowledge of related policies and I want to get involved in stopping vandalism. The easiest way for me to do this is using STiki. For this reason I would like permission to use STiki. StudiesWorld ( talk) 15:39, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
Hi there. STiki asks me to log in so I logged into my Wikipedia account from STiki. I am afraid that this software may steal my log in information or compromise my account. I just want to confirm, but does anyone have access to what I put into the login box? Thanks. A 2 16:16, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

I reset my computer back to its factory date on the 16/17th, backed up my files (though I lost some), and reinstalled programs...including STiki. But now STiki doesn't open up as easily as it did before. I don't see the same file I used to click on to get it to start; I don't know the name of the file; it's engrained into my memory by its looks rather than name. Any solution? I tried unzipping STiki with other tools as well. Flyer22 ( talk) 21:51, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
@ Flyer22: This sounds like an issue with file associations. A *.JAR file is indeed a packaged and compressed format (much like a ZIP), but one specially designed to hold Java files. Its not terribly surprising WinRAR wants to help you out with this, and it seems it has taken ownership of the file extension over Java. If you right click on the *.JAR file, does the menu give you an "Open With..." sub-menu that includes the option to launch with Java? You have a Java runtime environment (JRE) installed, right? There are Internet tests to ensure there is one present on your system. If this doesn't work you'll probably need to find yourself somewhere in the control panel correcting file associations. Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 03:22, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
Hello, could you check what happened here?
I'm certain that the edit presented by STiki yesterday, which I reverted via the STiki screen, was the one at 1841. It had already been reverted at 2037, so at 2107 STiki reverted the reversion and sent the automatic warning to the wrong user : Noyster (talk), 08:06, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
The leaderboard shows User:Jyoti.mickey as well as the users new username AmritsyaPutra. Just pointing it out. -- Rsrikanth05 ( talk) 20:04, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
As part of planned maintenance at the University of Pennsylvania (where STiki lives), I just saw the server go down. In the past, the machine has had some difficulty automatically recovering itself when things come back online. Hopefully all will go well this time, or I'll ask a colleague to help out on Monday morning. Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 06:35, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
Done -- Should be back up now. New edits are being fed in. I'll report back here later with a full report.

My CVUA trainer says I need to request permission here to get STiki(even though I have over a thousand edits to articles). Wackyike ( talk) 00:44, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
I had suggested this long ago, but I think Stiki needs a Whitelist, and it is of high priority. I keep seeing edits made by people who are rollbackers, reviewers, and even admins popping up on my screen. This needs to be fixed. Maybe the Huggle Whitelist can be utilised for this. -- Rsrikanth05 ( talk) 20:45, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
Without checking the source, I believe that admins, rollbackers, and reviewers are on the whitelist. It's no trouble to add additional groups, but I feel those groups have an implicit membership criteria of understanding vandalism (and therefore having the good sense not to commit it). There are no shortage of usergroups in software, (things like "filemover"), but I'd imagine these are comparatively rare (or at least rare that someone has them without one of the aforementioned). West.andrew.g ( talk) 21:33, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
I'd like to get approval for using STiki. I'm very active in patrolling recent changes and in reverting vandalism. After downloading the module, it was suggested that I should apply here. Regards, NQ talk 01:27, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
A very rare issue, but one that might be worth looking into. At times STiki displays a page that, upon checking, requires removal of the page instead of reverting the edit to the previous version. After doing so it would seem that STiki's classification interface refuses to accept any classification in regards to the now deleted page. No matter what classification is selected STiki will not move to the next edit - the only method I found to solve this is quitting STiki entirely.
I am not certain if this can be reproduced 100% of the time. Until recently I did not specifically check if this always occurs when a page is removed. The issue itself is easily evaded (Just classify a page before deleting it) and mitigated (just restart STiki). Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs) 07:06, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
While doing the usual patrolling with STiki, I noticed a lot of edits are innocent but with a minor typo. It would be quite useful with a quick edit button like in AWB, so you could manually fix the typo and continue. I just hate when seeing a perfectly helpful edit with a typo. I hate when typos go away when i press the innocent button. TheQ Editor (Talk) 00:30, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
I understand the button, but what does it do? Does it allow you to edit inside the diff interface? Or does it just provide a shortcut over to the standard WP edit page? West.andrew.g ( talk) 00:33, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
Perhaps STIKI could have a mobile app? The kind of bare bones interface that STIKI has (essentially 4 buttons and the diff) could probably be adapted easily to mobile. Jfmantis has made WikiPatroller, which is an android app, so I think we could port STiki onto mobile, if we were to use his layout. We'd just do it with the essential parts. Grognard 123chess456 ( talk) 23:53, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
ANI have suggested I bring this over here. Am unsure where to report this (if not here) but it appears that an ip editor is either using WP:STiki to resolve vandalism edits or is proporting to be doing so in their edit summaries. My understanding was taht someone required a WP account to run this so an Ip editor would be unable to. Advice/assistance would be appreciated. Amortias (T)(C) 17:19, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
Apologies for being latent in posting here (there are about 1.25 days left in the conference), but I am at Wikimania in London. User:Jmh649 gave a presentation about WP:MED and utilized some of the recent statistical work I've done for him (and an academic paper is in progress). Besides that, I've largely been hanging out in the research/analytical/"social machines" tracks. If your a user/supporter/fan of WP:STiki, WP:5000, or anything else I've done -- I'd love to meet you, so don't hesitate to reach out. West.andrew.g ( talk) 16:10, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
I have a picture [1] of a glitch in the STiki software. It doesn't highlight the clearly changed text in red. Why is that? Grognard 123chess456 ( talk) 03:58, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
I propose that there be the ability to add more custom AGF messages. For example, there are a lot of edits, such as BLP violations that aren't vandalism, addition of non-notable people to disambiguation pages, removal of content without explanation, refactoring of content that removes important information, obvious POV-pushing that isn't really vandalism and is obviously made in good faith, trades that haven't been finalized yet in sports and the like. While the problem is, I need maybe 6 or 7 AGF slots, but STIKI only supports 4. Grognard 123chess456 ( talk) 23:45, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
@ 123chess456: The messages in Wikipedia:STiki/Good-faith-revert messages will all end up in STiki, probably in the next release. Are there any messages that you think would be particularly useful that aren't there at the moment? If you add them to Wikipedia:STiki/Good-faith-revert messages then everyone will be able to use them. Of course, it is a wiki page so there may be some discussion about what is and is not right to go in, but be bold and stick in some messages. Yaris678 ( talk) 17:31, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Haven't used Stiki in a while, and just now I clicked on the jar file - same one I'd used in the past. Nothing. Couldn't open, got a msg. asking what program I wanted to open it with. I tried to associate it with Java, to no avail. Wondering if anyone can help with this. I'm using the latest version. Thanks, Coretheapple ( talk) 21:06, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
The University of Pennsylvania department that houses the STiki server will be conducting network maintenance on late Saturday night (8/16) into early Sunday morning (8/17); EST timezone. Based on the description provided to me, it would not be surprising to see STiki knocked offline as a result of this maintenance. My contacts on the ground who take corrective action have been made aware of the planned outage. These frequent maintenance windows should slow shortly, as it is common for institutions to do most of their upgrades/maintenance during academic summers when most students (i.e., the core user-base) are not present. Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 03:07, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

WMF Labs isn't the most reliable either – a large number of bot outages (such as CBNG and CBIII outages), along with VoxelBot having a broken editing pattern (it only edits once or twice a day when it's supposed to edit every half-an-hour. Irritating) and bots editing whilst logged out so it trips dozens of edit filters in the process. All caused by WMF Labs troubles. --k6ka (talk | contribs) 22:28, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
So.... nty? -- k6ka ( talk | contribs) 20:59, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
To be honest, I have no idea what is going on where the server lives. I am getting nearly daily messages about maintenance going on there, and I am several time zones away on business travel. As I stated above -- I think this is a last crush to get work done before students arrive. If you search the archives many of the same suggestions have come up before. It is not my intention to transfer the system to WMF Labs or any other WMF infrastructure. Those are also imperfect, but more critically, this machine does much non-Wikipedia work for me, so I have a vested interest in keeping the whole operation up and running. I will travel to PHL in mid-September and there is a good chance I will bring the machine back with me and put it on my local network, or that of my employer.

STiki seems to be down again.. Super48paul ( talk) 08:22, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
Machine has been stable for the past several days with no planned downtime/maintenance imminent. Software is also been experimenting with to improve machine resiliency and have better luck at self-recovering. Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 20:10, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
All the evidence that you need to prove just how baffled a recent changes patroller here is. Looks like STiki is editing while logged out again, and IPs are tripping edit filters head-over-toes. West.andrew.g - could you take a look into this? -- k6ka ( talk | contribs) 01:48, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
Yes, this is similar to an earlier case reported at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive850#STiki. I too can confirm these are legitimate STiki users who successfully logged in and had several (on-wiki) edits associated with their username. Then, suddenly, at some point, something breaks and the edits start to become associated to the user's IP address. I am not sure this is a bug in STiki, and we need all the details we can get to sort this out. It also seems to be happening quite infrequently.
When the log in succeeds, a cookie/session-key are given to STiki which it stores locally. How that session key is suddenly revoked makes no sense (and parallel interaction with WP inside a web browser should make no difference, as that would be using a *different* session key). I could always write code to confirm that the edits being triggered by STiki are mapped to the active username, but this seems to only treat the symptoms, and would require one "mistake" (and associated privacy leak) to occur for detection to take place. If you are an affected user, please try to run STiki from the command line and see if there is any unusual output. Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 20:52, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
I've got a login error multiple times today. It says Login failed, likely network error, thread thrown to exception or something of that sort. Will save a screeny next time it occurs. -- Rsrikanth05 ( talk) 13:25, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
Came across this tool while looking at my edit history [7] under the automated edit section. Looks like something I would like to try but do not believe that I would qualify under the current guidelines on the main page. I have been editing since January of this year and have created numerous articles and participated in AfD discussions, but thought this would be great tool to try out. Let me know if there is additional information that I need to provide to request permission for use. Thanks in advance. -- CNMall41 ( talk) 17:58, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
I recently had a change of username, but there are 399 edits still under the username "Epicfailure 2". When I edit with STiki again, will they be re-classified under my username? If so, could all my other STiki edits under "Epicfailure 2" also be re-classified? (Note: this is an alternate account of Epicgenius.) Epic Failure ( talk) 23:59, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
I posted a non-english contribution revert, but the formatting was completely messed up by a space before the typing, however when I checked the page of pre-formatted message examples, it did not have the space.

I feel like this probably has been brought up before, so sorry for the repeat. Sometimes during peak hours I'll fly through vandalism, and not realize from the "last revert" box that I've reported a user to AIV. This is of course not a real problem but as an admin I'd rather handle it myself. Perhaps for admins we could prompt before reporting to AIV? Thanks — MusikAnimal talk 20:51, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

It would be great if STiki were compatible with other Wikimedia projects. If, you could work on that that would be great. StudiesWorld ( talk) 10:45, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
Given that we have one more day for the current round of IEG to end, I think it would a good idea if you can contact someone within the Tech community OR the Wikitech mailing list and put this suggestion out there. Who knows, it might just work out. -- Rsrikanth05 ( talk) 15:25, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
This isn't a problem, just an observation during use of STiki today. I'm using the cluebot diff presentation, and virtually all of the diffs presented today have been ancient, most over ten days old, quite a lot over 80 days old. I've never noticed anything like that before in terms of age - has anybody else noticed it? Have the STiki Gods pressed a button that says "put Roxy on the far end of the curve"? I wouldn't want time wasted on investigation btw, but I have been fascinated by this and wanted to share! - Roxy the dog™ ( resonate) 14:50, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
At around 9AM this morning I received notification that the CBNG feed had gone down (it reported "up" in the previous report 12 hours before). Due to real life, it took me a couple hours to get around to it, but the connection has been re-established and STiki is ingesting from CBNG. It's expected the queue would get a little drained, but it is surprising that it found itself popping 90 day old edits so quickly and with such frequency. Queue dynamics are near impossible to troubleshoot -- let me know if things do not return to normal. Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 03:14, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

If your a user/supporter/fan of WP:STiki, WP:5000, or anything else I've done -- I'd love to meet you, so don't hesitate to reach out. West.andrew.g ( talk) 16:10, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
I have a picture [1] of a glitch in the STiki software. It doesn't highlight the clearly changed text in red. Why is that? Grognard 123chess456 ( talk) 03:58, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
I propose that there be the ability to add more custom AGF messages. For example, there are a lot of edits, such as BLP violations that aren't vandalism, addition of non-notable people to disambiguation pages, removal of content without explanation, refactoring of content that removes important information, obvious POV-pushing that isn't really vandalism and is obviously made in good faith, trades that haven't been finalized yet in sports and the like. While the problem is, I need maybe 6 or 7 AGF slots, but STIKI only supports 4. Grognard 123chess456 ( talk) 23:45, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
@ 123chess456: The messages in Wikipedia:STiki/Good-faith-revert messages will all end up in STiki, probably in the next release. Are there any messages that you think would be particularly useful that aren't there at the moment? If you add them to Wikipedia:STiki/Good-faith-revert messages then everyone will be able to use them. Of course, it is a wiki page so there may be some discussion about what is and is not right to go in, but be bold and stick in some messages. Yaris678 ( talk) 17:31, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

I tried using it for the first time in a while and was unable to. I received a message in which the computer asked me what program to use to open it. Could that be the reason? Coretheapple ( talk) 22:00, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

Haven't used Stiki in a while, and just now I clicked on the jar file - same one I'd used in the past. Nothing. Couldn't open, got a msg. asking what program I wanted to open it with. I tried to associate it with Java, to no avail. Wondering if anyone can help with this. I'm using the latest version. Thanks, Coretheapple ( talk) 21:06, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
The University of Pennsylvania department that houses the STiki server will be conducting network maintenance on late Saturday night (8/16) into early Sunday morning (8/17); EST timezone. Based on the description provided to me, it would not be surprising to see STiki knocked offline as a result of this maintenance. My contacts on the ground who take corrective action have been made aware of the planned outage. These frequent maintenance windows should slow shortly, as it is common for institutions to do most of their upgrades/maintenance during academic summers when most students (i.e., the core user-base) are not present.

WMF Labs isn't the most reliable either – a large number of bot outages (such as CBNG and CBIII outages), along with VoxelBot having a broken editing pattern (it only edits once or twice a day when it's supposed to edit every half-an-hour. Irritating) and bots editing whilst logged out so it trips dozens of edit filters in the process. All caused by WMF Labs troubles. --k6ka (talk | contribs) 22:28, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

To be honest, I have no idea what is going on where the server lives. I am getting nearly daily messages about maintenance going on there, and I am several time zones away on business travel. As I stated above -- I think this is a last crush to get work done before students arrive. If you search the archives many of the same suggestions have come up before. It is not my intention to transfer the system to WMF Labs or any other WMF infrastructure. Those are also imperfect, but more critically, this machine does much non-Wikipedia work for me, so I have a vested interest in keeping the whole operation up and running. I will travel to PHL in mid-September and there is a good chance I will bring the machine back with me and put it on my local network, or that of my employer.

STiki seems to be down again.. Super48paul ( talk) 08:22, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
Machine has been stable for the past several days with no planned downtime/maintenance imminent. Software is also been experimenting with to improve machine resiliency and have better luck at self-recovering. Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 20:10, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
All the evidence that you need to prove just how baffled a recent changes patroller here is. Looks like STiki is editing while logged out again, and IPs are tripping edit filters head-over-toes. West.andrew.g - could you take a look into this? -- k6ka ( talk | contribs) 01:48, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
Yes, this is similar to an earlier case reported at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive850#STiki. I too can confirm these are legitimate STiki users who successfully logged in and had several (on-wiki) edits associated with their username. Then, suddenly, at some point, something breaks and the edits start to become associated to the user's IP address. I am not sure this is a bug in STiki, and we need all the details we can get to sort this out. It also seems to be happening quite infrequently.
When the log in succeeds, a cookie/session-key are given to STiki which it stores locally. How that session key is suddenly revoked makes no sense (and parallel interaction with WP inside a web browser should make no difference, as that would be using a *different* session key). I could always write code to confirm that the edits being triggered by STiki are mapped to the active username, but this seems to only treat the symptoms, and would require one "mistake" (and associated privacy leak) to occur for detection to take place. If you are an affected user, please try to run STiki from the command line and see if there is any unusual output. Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 20:52, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
I've got a login error multiple times today. It says Login failed, likely network error, thread thrown to exception or something of that sort. Will save a screeny next time it occurs. -- Rsrikanth05 ( talk) 13:25, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
Came across this tool while looking at my edit history [7] under the automated edit section. Looks like something I would like to try but do not believe that I would qualify under the current guidelines on the main page. I have been editing since January of this year and have created numerous articles and participated in AfD discussions, but thought this would be great tool to try out. Let me know if there is additional information that I need to provide to request permission for use. Thanks in advance. -- CNMall41 ( talk) 17:58, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
I recently had a change of username, but there are 399 edits still under the username "Epicfailure 2". When I edit with STiki again, will they be re-classified under my username? If so, could all my other STiki edits under "Epicfailure 2" also be re-classified? (Note: this is an alternate account of Epicgenius.) Epic Failure ( talk) 23:59, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
I posted a non-english contribution revert, but the formatting was completely messed up by a space before the typing, however when I checked the page of pre-formatted message examples, it did not have the space.

I feel like this probably has been brought up before, so sorry for the repeat. Sometimes during peak hours I'll fly through vandalism, and not realize from the "last revert" box that I've reported a user to AIV. This is of course not a real problem but as an admin I'd rather handle it myself. Perhaps for admins we could prompt before reporting to AIV? Thanks — MusikAnimal talk 20:51, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

It would be great if STiki were compatible with other Wikimedia projects. If, you could work on that that would be great. StudiesWorld ( talk) 10:45, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
Given that we have one more day for the current round of IEG to end, I think it would a good idea if you can contact someone within the Tech community OR the Wikitech mailing list and put this suggestion out there. Who knows, it might just work out. -- Rsrikanth05 ( talk) 15:25, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
This isn't a problem, just an observation during use of STiki today. I'm using the cluebot diff presentation, and virtually all of the diffs presented today have been ancient, most over ten days old, quite a lot over 80 days old. I've never noticed anything like that before in terms of age - has anybody else noticed it? Have the STiki Gods pressed a button that says "put Roxy on the far end of the curve"? I wouldn't want time wasted on investigation btw, but I have been fascinated by this and wanted to share! - Roxy the dog™ ( resonate) 14:50, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
At around 9AM this morning I received notification that the CBNG feed had gone down (it reported "up" in the previous report 12 hours before). Due to real life, it took me a couple hours to get around to it, but the connection has been re-established and STiki is ingesting from CBNG. It's expected the queue would get a little drained, but it is surprising that it found itself popping 90 day old edits so quickly and with such frequency. Queue dynamics are near impossible to troubleshoot -- let me know if things do not return to normal. Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 03:14, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
Using STiki, is there any option to add a welcome message for new users, while warning them or giving notification of good faith reverts. --Vigyani talk ਯੋਗਦਾਨ 04:56, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
