Sockpuppet investigations has been changed to use a new status template and is no longer using code letters. Twinkle should be updated to reflect this. ~ NerdyScienceDude ( ✉ • ✐ • ✍) 23:59, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

After reverting an edit, I always fill out the edit summary in the box. But why does Twinkle add its own period at the end of my sentence? Aren't editors capable of determining if they want a period at the end of their sentence or not? It just makes me look like I'm a typo master, since nearly all of my summaries end with ".."; that is, unless I remember to not add a period at the end of my sentence, but that gets downright silly. – Kerαunoςcopia◁ galaxies 14:27, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

I just added a user to the blacklist who has been misusing Twinkle quite badly the last day or two. Pages like that blacklist page that are full of technical code and so forth scare the hell out of me, especially when there is a big warning that the tiniest mistake will mess up Twinkle for everyone who uses it. I'm pretty sure I did it right, it actually didn't seem that complicated despite all the warnings, but I would appreciate it if someone could double check. Thanks.

Hello, I guess my TW has a problem on XFD menu, specifically on the TFD option. So the usual TW function goes on, but when I click submit, it just add the deletion template on the page concerned and adds edit summary that "Nominated for deletion [...]".

The F9 CSD "help me" box in Twinkle states "and the uploader does not assert that it is public domain, freely licensed, fair use, or used with permission." But WP:CSD#F9 clearly states F9 only applies to "Images (or other media files) that are claimed by the uploader to be images with free licenses when this is obviously not the case."

Currently the summary for {{ Uw-spoiler}} reads: Notice: Don't remove spoiler alerts on Article, this is incorrect. It should be Notice: Don't remove spoilers on Article, or Notice: Don't add spoiler alerts on Article, or combination thereof. Currently the edit summary says the opposite of what the warning conveys, which is don't remove spoilers and add spoiler warnings. Xeworlebi ( talk) 15:03, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
Currently when you warn someone and the talk page already has a section named Current month and year, Twinkle doesn't create a new section header. When there are later sections this causes a problem, Twinkle just adds the notice at the end of the page, in the section at the bottom. Example: User talk:TyDwiki, the notice was added under #One Tree Hill - Season 8, which creates a wrong impression that the notice is about that topic. The notice should be placed under #August 2010, or possibly a new section should be created, I would use the same section. Xeworlebi ( talk) 18:30, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

For some reason I'm incapable of using Twinkle to warn the user on User talk:ChaosMaster16. It keeps hanging on "User talk page modification: data loaded…". Most likely some type of conflict with the page makeup. Xeworlebi ( talk) 23:40, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
When I request U1 speedy deletion without rationale (no text in the rationale box appearing), I get the error message "Aborted by user". I didn't abort it. I didn't click cancel, I clicked on "OK". When this error message appears, as far as I know, I have the "Notify if possible" checkbox disabled. When I requested U1 speedy deletion, I did it on under-pages in my User_talk namespace. This means I have to write a rationale in order to successfully tag my pages for U1 speedy deletion. This is weird. What could be the problem? / Hey Mid ( contributions) 17:45, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
{{

an admin will delete the pages for you. You could also just add "delete" to the rationale box, that would probably solve it. I just tested this at
User talk:Sandbox for user warnings and it will tag it if you just put something in the rationale dialog box, but I got the same result as you when leaving it blank, it seems like it may be deliberate.

Done. Quite right, no reason to abort with an empty rationale. I'm surprised that twinkle asks for one in the first place, U1s by the owning users are usually uncontroversial, and the criteria for the deleting admin are quite clear cut anyway.

I get a lot of messages on my talk page that are essentially form letters. Often these are posted on topics that I would rather not know about. I would like it if there was an opt-out link that stopped messages from being posted through this tool. Perhaps I could put a "no-twinkle" at the top of the page or something similar?
Another possibility, or perhaps addition, would be a mechanism similar to the one that puts a message at the top of my page. If someone was using Twinkle to post a form letter, it would pop up a message to that user with my text.

Is anyone else having an issue with Twinkle not appearing in the top section of tabs of your browser? Twinkle only appears about half the time for me... This is a fairly recent problem; previously I'd been using it without a single hitch. It's really starting to bug me because I have to reload the page once or twice to get Twinkle to appear sometimes and it slows my editing down a lot. Since my browser hates me and is really slow to reload pages, it sometimes takes me up to seven minutes to get the page to show up with the twinkle in the tabs section. By that time, someone's usually already done whatever task I was going to complete. Is this happening to anyone else? It's driving me nuts... --- cymru lass (hit me up)⁄ (background check) 01:19, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

I left a note at Wikipedia:Gadget/proposals#Friendly merged to Twinkle about getting Friendly removed from the preferences menu. Have your say. Marcus Qwertyus 19:13, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
In the twinklewarn script I've seen several L4 (and L4im) warning messages that redirect to inappropriate ones. The ones I've seen so far are uw-unsourced4 (deleted) and uw-error4 (there are probably more). There was also a template not included in Twinkle (uw-unsourced4im). All of which redirect to the uw-generic4 template (which is for disruptive editing and currently not included in TW).
We have several options. We can either:
I mean that the L3 warnings should probably do fine. My main concern is that just because a user continuously adds unsourced material, it doesn't have to mean the user is being disruptive. However, if we decide to keep these redirected, we can create new ones for 1, 2, 3, etc. If we remove them (or maybe anyway) we can add the uw-generic4 template to the twinklewarn script.
Recently I've created a new template, uw-unsourcedBLP4, for test purposes.
However, I can accept that the twinklespeedy script has duplicates of the same template, but that each one has its own description (different deletion descriptions for the same template). Hey Mid ( contributions) 10:35, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
Has anyone thought about merging the functions of Twinkle and Friendly into one tool, using the Twinkle name? It seems to me to make sense - we often get a lot of accidental meant-this-for-TW and meant-this-for-Friendly cross-posts, and that would allow us to consolidate all the functions under Vector's "TW" menu.

on a page but not fill out the additional parameters if there are four or more? I know, this would require the user to actually identify the problems on the talk page (gasp) in their own words instead of slapping four tags or one immense article issues tag that is often longer than the article it is tagging. I realize this is a problem with the users and not the tool itself, but there are a lot more people using Twinkle so this problem would get a lot bigger if they were merged. Otherwise I think it is a fine idea.

Merge All these functions on both gadgets are Javascript related, and all their related tabs appear at the top as well, although I have a slight concern. Merging the tools to a separate name will mean that we have to change a lot of our userboxes towards the current name, and well as possibly unlinking the Friendly article to WP:Friendly. I'd still call it Twinkle though, it's a rather cute name for a set of functions and also, there are more userboxes which are Twinkle related. Minima c ( talk) 06:36, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
Does it matter? Personally, I think the whole "switching-over" ordeal would be a tad too much work for something that's really not a big deal. Yes, it would be nice to have a merged tool, but is the trouble of the actual merge and what it includes (such as informing users and updating userboxes/other pages and whatnot) really worth such a minor issue?

I think that the current form of the "sockpuppet report" option on Twinkle is rather unintuitive and needs improvements. First off, the sockpuppet investigations page advises against notifying suspected socks of their investigation, in the event they learn from their mistakes and come up with better ideas of dodging scrutiny. I think an additional checkbox option to opt out of notifying the socks would be in order. Secondly, I prefer to report a sock on the immediate instant that I see him/her instead of having to track down the sockpuppeteer to report him/her. If there can be an option to report the sock and list the sockmaster, instead of doing it the other way around, that'd be great. :| TelCo NaSp Ve :| 02:14, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Not sure if this is the best place to post this, but oh well. As I've been sifting through the copy-edit backlog, I've noticed articles with as many as ten (!!!) cleanup tags and so forth. Many of these tags are quite redundant, such as including tone/peacock tags along with "copyedit" tags, reorganization and sections-needed tags, or just dropping a general cleanup tag to an already expansive list. Looking back, a lot of these laundry lists were added by editors using Twinkle; it's probably easier to drop tags indiscriminately with the tool.
I ask that editors take the reader into consideration by avoiding redundant cleanup tags. It not only looks unprofessional, but it can also discourage people from reading (and perhaps editing) the article. — Deck iller 22:58, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

if there more than two issues and adding it without parameters if there were more than three, the idea being that the user would then use the talk page to actually clearly identify the issues instead of adding enormous tags. The first time I brought it up another user hijacked the thread to rant against the very existence of the tool and it was shut down basically to stop their disruptive rudeness. The second time, right before the merger is still on this page. It seemed like there was not strong opposition to the idea, but it has not been done, possibly for technical reasons, I don't know.

After reverting an edit, I always fill out the edit summary in the box. But why does Twinkle add its own period at the end of my sentence? Aren't editors capable of determining if they want a period at the end of their sentence or not? It just makes me look like I'm a typo master, since nearly all of my summaries end with ".."; that is, unless I remember to not add a period at the end of my sentence, but that gets downright silly. – Kerαunoςcopia◁ galaxies 14:27, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Currently the summary for {{ Uw-spoiler}} reads: Notice: Don't remove spoiler alerts on Article, this is incorrect.

Currently when you warn someone and the talk page already has a section named Current month and year, Twinkle doesn't create a new section header. When there are later sections this causes a problem, Twinkle just adds the notice at the end of the page, in the section at the bottom. Example: User talk:TyDwiki, the notice was added under #One Tree Hill - Season 8, which creates a wrong impression that the notice is about that topic. The notice should be placed under #August 2010, or possibly a new section should be created, I would use the same section. Xeworlebi ( talk) 18:30, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

When I request U1 speedy deletion without rationale (no text in the rationale box appearing), I get the error message "Aborted by user". I didn't abort it. I didn't click cancel, I clicked on "OK". When this error message appears, as far as I know, I have the "Notify if possible" checkbox disabled. When I requested U1 speedy deletion, I did it on under-pages in my User_talk namespace. This means I have to write a rationale in order to successfully tag my pages for U1 speedy deletion. This is weird.

an admin will delete the pages for you. You could also just add "delete" to the rationale box, that would probably solve it. I just tested this at
User talk:Sandbox for user warnings and it will tag it if you just put something in the rationale dialog box, but I got the same result as you when leaving it blank, it seems like it may be deliberate.

I get a lot of messages on my talk page that are essentially form letters. Often these are posted on topics that I would rather not know about. I would like it if there was an opt-out link that stopped messages from being posted through this tool. Perhaps I could put a "no-twinkle" at the top of the page or something similar?
Another possibility, or perhaps addition, would be a mechanism similar to the one that puts a message at the top of my page. If someone was using Twinkle to post a form letter, it would pop up a message to that user with my text.

Is anyone else having an issue with Twinkle not appearing in the top section of tabs of your browser? Twinkle only appears about half the time for me... This is a fairly recent problem; previously I'd been using it without a single hitch. It's really starting to bug me because I have to reload the page once or twice to get Twinkle to appear sometimes and it slows my editing down a lot. Since my browser hates me and is really slow to reload pages, it sometimes takes me up to seven minutes to get the page to show up with the twinkle in the tabs section. By that time, someone's usually already done whatever task I was going to complete. Is this happening to anyone else?

I left a note at Wikipedia:Gadget/proposals#Friendly merged to Twinkle about getting Friendly removed from the preferences menu. Have your say. Marcus Qwertyus 19:13, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
In the twinklewarn script I've seen several L4 (and L4im) warning messages that redirect to inappropriate ones. The ones I've seen so far are uw-unsourced4 (deleted) and uw-error4 (there are probably more). There was also a template not included in Twinkle (uw-unsourced4im). All of which redirect to the uw-generic4 template (which is for disruptive editing and currently not included in TW).
We have several options. We can either:
I mean that the L3 warnings should probably do fine. My main concern is that just because a user continuously adds unsourced material, it doesn't have to mean the user is being disruptive. However, if we decide to keep these redirected, we can create new ones for 1, 2, 3, etc. If we remove them (or maybe anyway) we can add the uw-generic4 template to the twinklewarn script.
Recently I've created a new template, uw-unsourcedBLP4, for test purposes.
However, I can accept that the twinklespeedy script has duplicates of the same template, but that each one has its own description (different deletion descriptions for the same template). Hey Mid ( contributions) 10:35, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

I know, this would require the user to actually identify the problems on the talk page (gasp) in their own words instead of slapping four tags or one immense article issues tag that is often longer than the article it is tagging. I realize this is a problem with the users and not the tool itself, but there are a lot more people using Twinkle so this problem would get a lot bigger if they were merged. Otherwise I think it is a fine idea.

Merge All these functions on both gadgets are Javascript related, and all their related tabs appear at the top as well, although I have a slight concern. Merging the tools to a separate name will mean that we have to change a lot of our userboxes towards the current name, and well as possibly unlinking the Friendly article to WP:Friendly. I'd still call it Twinkle though, it's a rather cute name for a set of functions and also, there are more userboxes which are Twinkle related. Minima c ( talk) 06:36, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

I think that the current form of the "sockpuppet report" option on Twinkle is rather unintuitive and needs improvements. First off, the sockpuppet investigations page advises against notifying suspected socks of their investigation, in the event they learn from their mistakes and come up with better ideas of dodging scrutiny. I think an additional checkbox option to opt out of notifying the socks would be in order. Secondly, I prefer to report a sock on the immediate instant that I see him/her instead of having to track down the sockpuppeteer to report him/her. If there can be an option to report the sock and list the sockmaster, instead of doing it the other way around, that'd be great. :| TelCo NaSp Ve :| 02:14, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Not sure if this is the best place to post this, but oh well. As I've been sifting through the copy-edit backlog, I've noticed articles with as many as ten (!!!) cleanup tags and so forth. Many of these tags are quite redundant, such as including tone/peacock tags along with "copyedit" tags, reorganization and sections-needed tags, or just dropping a general cleanup tag to an already expansive list. Looking back, a lot of these laundry lists were added by editors using Twinkle; it's probably easier to drop tags indiscriminately with the tool.
I ask that editors take the reader into consideration by avoiding redundant cleanup tags. It not only looks unprofessional, but it can also discourage people from reading (and perhaps editing) the article. — Deck iller 22:58, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
