I've just installed twinkle but when I try to use it I get an error message: "Your account is too new to use Twinkle". I've been editing two years already so how much longer do I have to wait? andy ( talk) 16:02, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
If Twinkle does not work with IE, could the installation instructions say this explicitly? At the moment this browser isn't mentioned. Tim Vickers ( talk) 16:01, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
I'm sorry, I'm not sure where to put this, but I have a good question.
Shouldn't the AfD have just a generic "Spam" tag in the Twinkle Pop Up menu? If it does, I've yet to find it.
Having one, or knowing where to find it would help me greatly in new page patrolling.
Thanks,

I recently left an issue notice on a talk page here and the second paragraph is completely out of date. It states, Sometimes dates are enclosed in two square brackets, as in [[12 December]] or [[December 12]]. This means that you can set your preferences (if you look around your screen you'll see the word preferences; click on it and follow the instructions) to ensure that you see all dates in the format you want, whether date-month-year, month-date-year or yyyy-mm-dd. Per MOS:SYL, linking dates is a deprecated practice. I think the aforementioned paragraph needs to be removed, or at least updated. DiverseMentality (Boo!) 03:40, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Was going to post this as a bug, but thought better of it. I performed an assisted "quasi-speedy" tagging of an orphaned non-free image (notify and non-free both unchecked), and noticed that the edit summary was as follows:
That probably ought to be changed to reflect the fact that those "pseudo-speedy" image tags (no source, no license etc.) aren't in fact speedy deletion, and certainly aren't detailed at WP:CSD.

I've gone in and slightly reworded the way the A7 speedy deletion is listed on the dialogs and on the deletion log rationales to include "organization", since nonprofits fall under A7-company as well. Thus in the note placed in the deletion log rationale, I've swapped out "corporation" for "organization" (thus it now reads, "Article about a company or organization that does not assert the importance or significance of the subject"), and the menu now says "A7: Unremarkable company or organization".
So all in all, it's not a HUGE change, but a change nonetheless to make things a little more clear. It always felt strange to do nonprofits under A7-company, so this fixes the wording. SchuminWeb ( Talk) 20:09, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I posted this at the Village Pump but I think it is partly a Twinkle problem.
When tagging an image with an I8 via Twinkle it does two things that aren't great:
Basically the whole effect of this is to make it look like the editor has done something wrong as opposed to it being a technical move of a good quality image to Commons.

I noticed that table sorting (like the table here, which can be sorted by clicking the arrows) will not work, at least for me, when either Friendly or Twinkle is enabled. I tested this and have boiled down to these two; when either one, or both, are enabled, then table sorting will not work anymore (the JS for the table sorting does not do anything; "#" is simply appended to the URL). Since both scripts share some libraries, could there be a common problem here? I don't know when this began, but it was probably within the last week or two. From a cursory check, it looks like the problem might be related to Friendly more than Twinkle as the Friendly scripts seem to have had more updates recently than Twinkle.
Thoughts, please? I've disabled both scripts until this issue is resolved because I deal with table sorting fairly often. Gary King ( talk) 18:08, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Twinkle only works under some 'skins', the default one, which is called 'monobook' and I think the 'modern' one. Otherwise it doesn't show up at all. Check in your preferences which skin (appearance of the site, colours etc) you've set. It's the second tab along inside your preferences. I had to give up using the 'classic' skin because of this :( I wish Twinkle worked on all the skins. But I got used to the default one after a short time. Sticky Parkin 01:47, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

I've been using Twinkle with Safari for a long time. Mostly, I have had a good experience with it, with just a few hiccups. However, starting on Monday, something strange has been happening. Usually, when I get a diff in an article, I get a few buttons (I'll call them buttons for a lack of better term) that say Rollback AGF, Rollback and Rollback vandalism. Then suddenly, without updating Safari (there hasn't been an update for awhile now), I no longer see those buttons unless I reload the page. I have cleared the cache, restarted (something we Mac people rarely do), etc. Nothing works, except a reload. Any ideas? Maybe I've got some bad code in my monobook, but since I'm not an expert on that, I wouldn't know. OrangeMarlin Talk• Contributions 17:14, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Twinkle not working for me at all in Firefox (have no XfD or other realted tabs - Adblock disabled since that was causing problems some months ago) but if I log in using Safari, it's all there. I prefer not to use Safari since I'm not as familiar with it. Oddly, my other scripts appear to work fine. StarM 06:54, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
What seems to have happened to me was that, by adding Friendly's full configuration script and keeping everything in the default configuration but the three variables I wanted to change (to get rid of the new clock thing and to stop it from adding things to my watchlist), I completely hosed TW somehow. These are the settings I was using:

Anybody have some insight on what might have happened here? As soon as the above goes into my monobook, all TW and Friendly functionality immediately disappear. Get rid of FriendlyConfig, clear the cache, and they come back. --Dynaflow babble 11:06, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
Drat, uniqueness persists. Just out of curiosity, I'm wondering how a bad line in FriendlyConfig was able to completely cripple Twinkle. Is it technically feasable to keep problems in one of these closely-related programs from interfering with the other program? As a non-sequitor, are any of the above users using the "Modern" skin? Under My Preferences -> Gadgets there's a checkbox for a compatibility function that TW and Friendly supposedly require to run under that skin. Also in the same place, there are a couple more options that Safari users apparently might need to enable, such as the JavaScript Standard Library and DejaVu Sans. --Dynaflow babble 12:39, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
I've asked at the help desk but so far, nobody has been able to help me. So, I'm wondering if someone here might have a better idea of what's going on.
Lately, the "Rollback (AGF)" and "Vandalism" links that appear in green and red in a comparison of article versions don't show up.

I use Twinkle regularly in regards to vandalism, mainly in issuing warnings. When reverting vandalism, I use the administrative rollback rather than TW's, so I don't get the pop-up talk page. What I've found myself doing is using Friendly's "Welcome" button to leapfrog over to the talk page, close the welcome box, and then hit the "warn" tab to issue my warning, rather than giving the welcoming that the button was designed for. I do this mainly because it pre-fills the article title. Would it be possible to add a "warn" button like that similar to Friendly's "welcome" so that the article title is pre-filled? I'd stop short of having the warn box automatically pop in when jumping to the talk page with such a command, however, since often I need to peruse what other warnings have been given before I place my own warning, but having the title box pre-filled would be the main benefit. Perhaps the decision about whether or not to pop the box automatically could be made configurable.

I recently left an issue notice on a talk page here and the second paragraph is completely out of date. It states, Sometimes dates are enclosed in two square brackets, as in [[12 December]] or [[December 12]]. This means that you can set your preferences (if you look around your screen you'll see the word preferences; click on it and follow the instructions) to ensure that you see all dates in the format you want, whether date-month-year, month-date-year or yyyy-mm-dd. Per MOS:SYL, linking dates is a deprecated practice. I think the aforementioned paragraph needs to be removed, or at least updated. DiverseMentality (Boo!) 03:40, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

I've gone in and slightly reworded the way the A7 speedy deletion is listed on the dialogs and on the deletion log rationales to include "organization", since nonprofits fall under A7-company as well. Thus in the note placed in the deletion log rationale, I've swapped out "corporation" for "organization" (thus it now reads, "Article about a company or organization that does not assert the importance or significance of the subject"), and the menu now says "A7: Unremarkable company or organization".
So all in all, it's not a HUGE change, but a change nonetheless to make things a little more clear. It always felt strange to do nonprofits under A7-company, so this fixes the wording. SchuminWeb ( Talk) 20:09, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

When tagging an image with an I8 via Twinkle it does two things that aren't great:
Basically the whole effect of this is to make it look like the editor has done something wrong as opposed to it being a technical move of a good quality image to Commons.

I noticed that table sorting (like the table here, which can be sorted by clicking the arrows) will not work, at least for me, when either Friendly or Twinkle is enabled. I tested this and have boiled down to these two; when either one, or both, are enabled, then table sorting will not work anymore (the JS for the table sorting does not do anything; "#" is simply appended to the URL). Since both scripts share some libraries, could there be a common problem here? I don't know when this began, but it was probably within the last week or two. From a cursory check, it looks like the problem might be related to Friendly more than Twinkle as the Friendly scripts seem to have had more updates recently than Twinkle.
Thoughts, please? I've disabled both scripts until this issue is resolved because I deal with table sorting fairly often. Gary King ( talk) 18:08, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Twinkle only works under some 'skins', the default one, which is called 'monobook' and I think the 'modern' one. Otherwise it doesn't show up at all. Check in your preferences which skin (appearance of the site, colours etc) you've set. It's the second tab along inside your preferences.

I've been using Twinkle with Safari for a long time. Mostly, I have had a good experience with it, with just a few hiccups. However, starting on Monday, something strange has been happening. Usually, when I get a diff in an article, I get a few buttons (I'll call them buttons for a lack of better term) that say Rollback AGF, Rollback and Rollback vandalism. Then suddenly, without updating Safari (there hasn't been an update for awhile now), I no longer see those buttons unless I reload the page. I have cleared the cache, restarted (something we Mac people rarely do), etc. Nothing works, except a reload. Any ideas? Maybe I've got some bad code in my monobook, but since I'm not an expert on that, I wouldn't know. OrangeMarlin Talk• Contributions 17:14, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Twinkle not working for me at all in Firefox (have no XfD or other realted tabs - Adblock disabled since that was causing problems some months ago) but if I log in using Safari, it's all there. I prefer not to use Safari since I'm not as familiar with it. Oddly, my other scripts appear to work fine. StarM 06:54, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
What seems to have happened to me was that, by adding Friendly's full configuration script and keeping everything in the default configuration but the three variables I wanted to change (to get rid of the new clock thing and to stop it from adding things to my watchlist), I completely hosed TW somehow. These are the settings I was using:

Drat, uniqueness persists. Just out of curiosity, I'm wondering how a bad line in FriendlyConfig was able to completely cripple Twinkle. Is it technically feasable to keep problems in one of these closely-related programs from interfering with the other program? As a non-sequitor, are any of the above users using the "Modern" skin? Under My Preferences -> Gadgets there's a checkbox for a compatibility function that TW and Friendly supposedly require to run under that skin. Also in the same place, there are a couple more options that Safari users apparently might need to enable, such as the JavaScript Standard Library and DejaVu Sans. --Dynaflow babble 12:39, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
I've asked at the help desk but so far, nobody has been able to help me. So, I'm wondering if someone here might have a better idea of what's going on.
Lately, the "Rollback (AGF)" and "Vandalism" links that appear in green and red in a comparison of article versions don't show up. The "Restore this version" link is still present but neither of the others. Does anyone have a clue as to why? I'm running the latest Safari and OS X versions. All software is up to date according to the system's software updater. I've tried resetting Safari but that didn't work. Dismas| (talk) 01:11, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
When sending a page to WP:RPP with Twinkle, the message sent is currently "<MESSAGE>.<SIGNATURE>". Could the fixed period be removed, and a space be added between the message and the signature? Gary King ( talk) 04:25, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

I usually patrol recent changes, and when I revert vandilism on an article, the article is added to my watchlist. When I don't use twinkle it doesn't happen. Does anybody know why? ♣ Princess Clown♥ 23:53, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
Is there any particular way to perform group noms automatically with Twinkle, or is it a manual process? I've tried looking for documentation with no luck, and also tried looking at how actual group noms were done, but couldn't really figure it out - there seem to be a number of methods. Am I missing something obvious (or not-so-obvious) here? (this applies to XfDs in general, really, not any specific one) 「 ダイノ ガイ 千?!」(Dinoguy1000) 20:06, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

I use Twinkle regularly in regards to vandalism, mainly in issuing warnings. When reverting vandalism, I use the administrative rollback rather than TW's, so I don't get the pop-up talk page. What I've found myself doing is using Friendly's "Welcome" button to leapfrog over to the talk page, close the welcome box, and then hit the "warn" tab to issue my warning, rather than giving the welcoming that the button was designed for. I do this mainly because it pre-fills the article title. Would it be possible to add a "warn" button like that similar to Friendly's "welcome" so that the article title is pre-filled? I'd stop short of having the warn box automatically pop in when jumping to the talk page with such a command, however, since often I need to peruse what other warnings have been given before I place my own warning, but having the title box pre-filled would be the main benefit. Perhaps the decision about whether or not to pop the box automatically could be made configurable.
What does everyone else think? Is this a good addition to Twinkle? SchuminWeb ( Talk) 03:45, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
Having noticed that the "I" CSD criteria have been renamed to "F" criteria due to the Image namespace's change to File, I have adjusted Twinkle accordingly for this and fixed a bunch of double redirects. I've tested things, and they seem to work, but please say something if I inadvertently broke something. SchuminWeb ( Talk) 04:43, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
on the 'my contributions' page, is there a way to get rid of the: " [rollback [vandalism" links? i don't find them useful and it's otherwise very distracting. -- emerson7 21:08, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
if( wgNamespaceNumber == -1 && wgCanonicalSpecialPageName == "Contributions" ) {

} else {
importScript('User:AzaToth/twinkle.js');
in
your monobook.js with importScript('User:Xaradnam/twinkle.js');
←I've changed Twinkle so that the rollback links it usually adds to contributions pages are not added if you are on your own contributions page. Thanks for the code, Amalthea! Ioeth ( talk contribs twinkle friendly) 17:31, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
