Hey there, I was hoping I'd be able to get permission to use STiki. I don't have 1000 edits yet or Rollback rights yet, but am ONLY interested in helping to stop vandalism on Wikipedia, so it will be difficult for me to meet either of those requirements without the help of a tool like STiki.

May I have permission to use this software? I would like to fight vandalism but do not have 1,000 edits yet nor the rollback right. KingAnd God 16:05, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi, I'd like to ask @ West.andrew.g: or anyone who's involved deep in this about potential Chrome OS support for STiki. I'm a Chromebook user and I reckon there will be more and more of us with time, so I was wondering about the possibility of making it accessible on this platform. I know it's a lot of work and I don't expect it to be easy, but if ever someone has the time, it would be amazing! Stay awesome, Double Plus Ungood ( talk) 19:24, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi, I've only been a Wikipedia editor for 2 months but I've become fairly addicted and I passed my 1000th edit today. Not sure if I have rollback rights, maybe just the rollback buttons I got through Twinkle. Anyway, I'm interested in having a go at using STiki. I installed Java, downloaded the STiki source and ran the .jar file but it wouldn't let me log in. I've been occasionally reverting vandalism that I come across in the articles on my watchlist but I'd like to fight some more vandalism through STiki. Please can you help me log on. Thanks. Rodney Baggins ( talk) 19:48, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
Thank you. I see what you mean about NS0 edits, a lot of mine have been on talk pages and my user page/sandbox. That's what I love about Wikipedia, there's always so much to learn! Cheers. Rodney Baggins ( talk) 06:43, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
It would be great to tag STiki edits. This would be especially helpful for data analysis. For instance, XTools attempts to show STiki contributions, going by the "using STiki" advert in the edit summary. However I think users are free to remove the advert, hence removing the tie to STiki. Meanwhile, STiki edits are already tagged as Undo and/or Rollback (which is expected), but say I wanted to see ONLY native "Undo" edits. These contributions may still include STiki edits. For the XTools use-case, I could resolve this by adding a query to remove edits that have the "using STiki" edit summary (if that makes sense), but this is slow and prone to error. A future-proof tag will make this sort of analysis much more efficient.
Many thanks for your hard work! — MusikAnimal talk 04:58, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Tags, but it doesn't describe any sort of guideline for using them with software like STiki. I can tell you other popular software such as Huggle and the WikiEdu Dashboard tag their edits. With
edit filters, we create new tags as needed without discussion, so I think you're okay to do so for STiki, especially given its popularity. —

@ MusikAnimal: Any chance you can spearhead this social/policy effort while I go about implementing the bot code to actually get it done? West.andrew.g ( talk) 16:55, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
Hello! It's been a very long time since I've used this to fight vandalism, and I decided to give it a try today. Unfortunately, after starting it, I am barely able to use the application as all the buttons are extremely small, and I cannot find a setting to make it larger. Please see this image. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks, Vermont | reply here 19:07, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
@ Vermont: That's an interesting one. The image User:L3X1 posted is consistent with how things appear on my machine, and every other device I've seen STiki on. What is your monitor/laptop resolution? Something absurdly high? What OS are you on? Anything else interesting about your setup? Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 21:04, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
I am cleaning up some things up on the STiki server today. The queue's may display non-recent edits, and the tool may be slow/unresponsive at times. Do not panic!

I've returned to a consistent internet connection after a long while, and intended to resume using STiki. In the interim, I've acquired a screen of higher-than-normal resolution, and now I find the STiki interface has text that is far too small to be usable. Any suggestions?

Within the last hour I received notification the machine on which STiki is hosted has gone offline. There was no known network maintenance going on.

Everytime I try to revert an edit, my session terminates. Is it a bug or what? Thanks! - User:AvalerionV
Hi, I was once a major user of STiki, but I am having real problems downloading the tool now. I am using Windows 10. When I click the download link from the Download section on the STiki main page, I receive a, '8 Zip Lite' file, which, when I open it, I have no idea how to use. I cannot find the launch file at all, just a load of files with names like 'com', 'core objects', 'db client', 'edit processing' and so forth.
Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated. Downloading STiki was once so easy! Orphan Wiki 11:15, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

As a novice editor of Wikipedia, I do not have the necessary prerequisites to have rollback permissions. I applied anyway and was rejected for having too few edits. Similarly, I do not have enough edits to gain automatic rights to use STiki. Therefore, in order to have a bigger impact on Wikipedia and to battle vandals I would like to request special approval for use of STiki. Any questions are welcome. Yours.

I have been reverting Vandalism from quite some time. I won't say that I am perfect. I use Twinkle at the moment. I want to see if Stiki can be better for me, and if it can help me more. Although I don't have 1000 edits to the mainspace. So, I would like you to check if I can be trusted. Otherwise it's all okay if you decline the request. By the way, if I later wish not to continue, should I inform you here? (I am sure I won't wish to stop using, but still an additional question)

◊distænt write◊ 01:15, 30 September 2018 (UTC)The team that runs CluebotNG has fixed their IRC issues and are once again broadcasting edit vandalism probabilities. STiki ingests these scores as the basis for an alternative queue to the "STiki (metadata)" one that has been the lone (and therefore, default) option for quite some time. CBNG's model outperforms the metadata one, and if historical trends hold, STiki users should expect to encounter vandalism 2-3x more often using CBNG data. The feed has been implemented and the CBNG model is now the default queue at startup. Happy reverting. West.andrew.g ( talk) 17:39, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

I tried to install the latest version on Windows, but I couldn't find an executable file. What's wrong? -- Mhhossein talk 06:43, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi, when using STiki I very frequently get the 'WMF has dropped session' error message, but only ever when I'm doing a good faith revert. This morning for example, I started up STiki, and classified a number of edits as 'Innovent', but the first time I tried to use 'Good Faith Revert', the message appeared after I'd hit submit. The text of the message (in case there is more than one such message) is:
I get this fairly frequently, perhaps 50% of the time I try to use STiki. Sometimes it works absolutely fine, other times I just can't do good faith reverts without crashing STiki. I appreciate that if there is a bug on the WMF server, there might be nothing the STiki team can do about it, but I wonder whether other users have experienced this and have found some kind of workaround or way to avoid triggering it? Any tips would be appreciated. GirthSummit (blether) 07:49, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
@ Girth Summit: I think it is reasonable that the error message link to the (un-)affected article, to the extent that helps. I will add that item to the issue tracker. Beyond that, I'll explain a bit about why this is a yucky bug. I send the edit request along with your session token (which STiki receives when you login) and the Mediawiki API generally says "cool" and ties the edit to your account. Then, what we can't figure out, is that sometimes it says "what? who is that? we don't have a session for them (error: assert user fail)". The only way to get new session tokens is for the user to login again -- and I don't want to be in the business of storing credentials and doing this automatically. A hard fail at this point was considered reasonable, because for most of history, and most users, this tends to be a sporadic issue. Question after looking at my code: When you encounter this issue, would the AGF have undone 1 edit? or 2+ edits? there is a branch in my code at this point where different API calls are used, and maybe only one branch is problematic? West.andrew.g ( talk) 15:08, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
Recently, I've been making reverts/rollbacks on STiki, however, on both AGF rollbacks and vandalism rollbacks, I took a look at both the article history, my contribs page, and the article, and have found that the rollbacks are not saving or applying. This has happened 75% of the times I've logged into STiki and tried to rollback edits. Often times when I'm in STiki, I've pressed the button, it moves to the next diff as normal, however, no action was taken. I've then had to manually run the action via the article history page, which is semi-annoying but most likely a bug. I'm wondering if I did something wrong, and I'd be happy to rectify it if so, however, it could be a software bug. I'm requesting either help or a bugfix as to why the rollbacks are only saving a portion of the time.

Used to have Stiki on my old laptop, and was just going to add it on my new one (haven't used it in over a year, but have seen an uptick in vandalism so I thought I'd get back to patrolling).

I'm aware that users with 2FA enabled on their accounts need to use bot passwords to access STiki (or else login will simply fail, since STiki doesn't provide an interface to enter the authentication code in). I can see here that bot passwords do work on STiki, but it's not immediately clear how one goes to logging in with a bot password. Do I just enter my bot password into the "Password" field (and enter my username like normal)?

The machine that hosts STiki has gone offline. I've sent an email to colleagues onsite at UPenn to investigate. West.andrew.g ( talk) 20:51, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
Is it possible or is possible in future to use STiki on mobile devices? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackfield1122 ( talk • contribs) 16:10, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
I would like to use STiKi, may I please have access. So said The Great Wiki Lord. ( talk) 14:54, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
Despite not having reverting Vandalism since I started editing, I like someone give me a tool please. Thank You Sheldybett ( talk) 03:22, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
I downloaded the Stiki but didn't find installing file. Can you help me out ? TheRedBox ( Talk) 19:57, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
I tried to install the latest version on Windows, but I couldn't find an executable file. What's wrong? -- Mhhossein talk 06:43, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi, when using STiki I very frequently get the 'WMF has dropped session' error message, but only ever when I'm doing a good faith revert. This morning for example, I started up STiki, and classified a number of edits as 'Innovent', but the first time I tried to use 'Good Faith Revert', the message appeared after I'd hit submit. The text of the message (in case there is more than one such message) is:
I get this fairly frequently, perhaps 50% of the time I try to use STiki. Sometimes it works absolutely fine, other times I just can't do good faith reverts without crashing STiki. I appreciate that if there is a bug on the WMF server, there might be nothing the STiki team can do about it, but I wonder whether other users have experienced this and have found some kind of workaround or way to avoid triggering it? Any tips would be appreciated. GirthSummit (blether) 07:49, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
@ Girth Summit: I think it is reasonable that the error message link to the (un-)affected article, to the extent that helps. I will add that item to the issue tracker. Beyond that, I'll explain a bit about why this is a yucky bug. I send the edit request along with your session token (which STiki receives when you login) and the Mediawiki API generally says "cool" and ties the edit to your account. Then, what we can't figure out, is that sometimes it says "what? who is that? we don't have a session for them (error: assert user fail)". The only way to get new session tokens is for the user to login again -- and I don't want to be in the business of storing credentials and doing this automatically. A hard fail at this point was considered reasonable, because for most of history, and most users, this tends to be a sporadic issue. Question after looking at my code: When you encounter this issue, would the AGF have undone 1 edit? or 2+ edits? there is a branch in my code at this point where different API calls are used, and maybe only one branch is problematic?

Recently, I've been making reverts/rollbacks on STiki, however, on both AGF rollbacks and vandalism rollbacks, I took a look at both the article history, my contribs page, and the article, and have found that the rollbacks are not saving or applying. This has happened 75% of the times I've logged into STiki and tried to rollback edits. Often times when I'm in STiki, I've pressed the button, it moves to the next diff as normal, however, no action was taken. I've then had to manually run the action via the article history page, which is semi-annoying but most likely a bug. I'm wondering if I did something wrong, and I'd be happy to rectify it if so, however, it could be a software bug. I'm requesting either help or a bugfix as to why the rollbacks are only saving a portion of the time.

Hey, just wanted to let you know that I was renamed from User:Figfires to User:Hurricane Noah. I would appreciate it if you could transfer my STiki count. Thanks, Noah Talk 21:32, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
Used to have Stiki on my old laptop, and was just going to add it on my new one (haven't used it in over a year, but have seen an uptick in vandalism so I thought I'd get back to patrolling). However, even though I have Java, after I download and unzip the file, the .jar file will not allow me to execute. It only gives me the options of "open" or "save". What am I doing wrong?

Hi! Just wanted to let you know my username has been changed from JaconaFrere to Jacona...could you reroute the contributions? Thanks! Jacona ( talk) 22:17, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
Hi, I've downloaded the latest version 2.1 that was released on 2018-12-08. When I try to open the .Jar file (with Java) as an administrator, it shows a message : This program cannot be opened on your computer or something similar. I'm using Windows 10 Home version 1809 (October Update). How can I use the program because I was able to use the previous version. RafaelS1979 ( talk) 18:31, 23 December 2018 (UTC)
I'm aware that users with 2FA enabled on their accounts need to use bot passwords to access STiki (or else login will simply fail, since STiki doesn't provide an interface to enter the authentication code in). I can see here that bot passwords do work on STiki, but it's not immediately clear how one goes to logging in with a bot password. Do I just enter my bot password into the "Password" field (and enter my username like normal)? What permissions are needed for STiki to work properly? — k6ka 🍁 ( Talk · Contributions) 11:34, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
