When clicking the "vandalism" link on a user's contributions, it is showing the diff instead of reverting it. -- Snigbrook (talk) 18:08, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

This could just be because I'm unfamiliar with the interface, having recently installed it, but as far as I can tell, Twinkle does not have an option to choose whether to mark edits as minor. This was causing problems for me, as I had 'mark all edits as minor by default' in my preferences - meaning several edits were marked as minor that really shouldn't have been. I've since disabled this option, but it does seem to highlight a potential problem - or is there a 'minor/not minor' button I'm missing somewhere? Terraxos ( talk) 07:51, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

When I used Twinkle to protect a page and give it an expiry time, it adds the template correctly showing the expiry date [2] but actually carries out the protection as 'indefinite' [3]. — Xy7 (talk) 18:29, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
On users and IP's with talk pages with existing edits on them do not have the warning tabs. Cocoaguy ここがいい contribs talk Review Me! 23:59, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
not quite a bug, though it has caused me (and others) some headaches. Twinkle defaults to marking all forms of rollback (agf, vandal, normal, and torev) as minor. not considering this, I got myself a short block for unintentionally marking normal reverts as minor, and I know of at least one other editor who's had this happen. Marking vandalism minor by default is fine, but could we remove the default minor tag from agf and normal (and maybe torev, though I don't know what that means...)? It would save confusion for others down the line. plus, AGF and Normal reverts should probably not be minor in any case. Ludwigs2 20:47, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
Whenever I use the A7 (Unremarkable people, group, web content etc.), the script seems to get stuck on checking the page for existing tags. It works for all other tags. I even left it for a long time, and It still for checking the page. It's pretty annoying because I use that tag a lot. Thanks. Olly150 21:03, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Occasionally, Twinkle is missing half of a CSD when performed. It is notifying editors of the CSD, but not adding CSD tags to the article concerned. I have been doing new page patrol and had to go back twice tonight to add tags manually, despite the CSD screen showing "Tagging completed". Thor Malmjursson ( talk) 02:23, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
Well, I bypassed my browser's cache, and everytime I F5 my page, it always says "I'm too new to use Twinkle". Technically, I'm not that new - I've been on Wikipedia for years but had a name usurption a few weeks ago. Is that still old? I don't connect through a Tor network, I have restarted my browser, and fixed my monobook. I simply don't understand why it fails to work for me; thanks, Ay ( Reply!, Contribs!) 21:13, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
The tool is listing CSD nominations as "minor edits". Per consensus at WP:ANI, CSD noms shouldn't be listed as minor edits, because many people have set their watchlist to not display minor edits. Could you change it? Erik the Red 2 ~~ ~~ 02:27, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
I have Twinkle configured to not watch talk pages where I place warnings, yet all pages where I leave warnings land in my watchlist.
Unlike B-143 above, with me all the entries in the "Watchlist" tab of my preferences are unchecked, so that's not the reason.
My Twinkle settings:
TwinkleConfig = { watchWarnings : false, markSpeedyPagesAsMinor : false, watchSpeedyPages : [ 'g1', 'g2', 'g3', 'g4', 'g5', 'g7', 'g8', 'g9', 'g10', 'g11', 'g12', 'a1', 'a2', 'a3', 'a4', 'a5', 'a6', 'a7', 'c1' ], watchRevertedPages : [] };

←Od Mishehu, the problem has got to be on your end. I've tested and retested this and the watchlisting always works as it should. Plus, when you import my monobook.js into your monobook.js, you shouldn't lose all of your tabs. I have Twinkle, Friendly, and an assortment of other javascript utilities loaded in there. Unless you can come up with something that may be interfering on your end, I'm probably going to close this bug as "works for me". Ioeth ( talk contribs friendly) 16:25, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Twinkle can currently only tag with the album variant of
WP:CSD#A9, it uses {{
db-album}}
/{{
db-album-notice}}
instead of the more general {{
db-a9}}
/{{
db-a9-notice}}
for all musical recordings. An easy fix, all three occurances of 'album' should be changed to 'a9'.
It could also be expanded to tag with all three {{
db-a9}}
, {{
db-album}}
and {{
db-song}}
but I don't think it's necessary, they are not nearly as common as A7.

The comment when reporting a vandalism-only account contains a typo: "vandalis-only account". This is probably caused by a recent change to User:AzaToth/twinklearv.js: [12]. — Snigbrook 00:08, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
When in Special:NewPages, if I am CSDing an article and while in the middle, the article is changed, Twinkle does not notice the change and subsequently, doesn't alert me to it. Twice this happened when an article was created, and while CSDing, another was created with a similar name and the first was turned into a redirect. This resulted in me CSDing a redirect instead of the article in question. Grika Ⓣ 19:37, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Most likely this is caused by incompetency on my part, but I just changed my Twinkle (and Friendly) script on my monobook.js page from the importScript('User:AzaToth/twinkle.js'); to the full configurable script, and they stopped working. I just thought of readding the importScript('User:AzaToth/twinkle.js'); to it, but it still doesn't work. Also, is this the place to report this?

This is a problem I've been trying to fix for awhile, and many others seem to have it.
I am unable to make Twinkle not automatically have me watch pages. I've been following the instructions on the Twinkle Config page to try and make the parameters not watch: in my monobook, you'll see the last four are set to not watch. However, still Twinkle sets pages I revert edits on as well as users I revert edits of to watch. This makes my watchlist full and unusable. Is there any fix for this? I'm using OSX and Firefox.

Just got a nasty note on my talk page accusing me of intentionally breaking redirects. It appears that the "unlink" function is also removing the brackets on redirects, breaking those redirects, instead of ignoring them. See here, here, and here for ones it did when I was unlinking an article the other day. I've also noticed that it does not always catch links if they have a # in them, resulting in some manual unlinking still being required. -- Collectonian ( talk · contribs) 19:20, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

I've been having the same problems using Opera 9.63. The revert stops at the 'data loading' stage but appears to be successful.

Twinkle deletes the wrong images. About once a month one of the protected, high-use, high-risk {{ imbox}} default images are erased. One of the affected files is File:Imbox deletion.png. (That is, I think it happens to several images in the mbox family, but I haven't kept notes about it and I couldn't find other examples right now.) Every time when I ask the admin that erased the image they claim to have used Twinkle and that they were aiming for some other image. But most of them can't remember which image they were aiming for. But now one admin did remember. See his comment at User talk:Valley2city#File:Imbox deletion.png. This has been going on for a long time.

If you use vandalism rollback to make a revert, the user talk page is opened and the linked article is automatically populated. If you change from a warning to a block notice, the linked article (which is usually greyed out) retains the linked article from the reversion.

When notifying an article's original creator that the article has been nominated for deletion, Twinkle currently does not take into consideration where the article was originally created as a redirect and that redirect was later turned into an article. This can lead to situations where someone is notified of the deletion nomination of an article they have no interest in. However, there's really no way for Twinkle to be able to tell this, so a better behavior would probably be for it to notify the original creator and anyone who turned the redirect into an article (with some checking to eliminate cases where people are reverting back and forth between article and redirect, for one reason or another). This request was spurred by this notification and discussion. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千?!」(Dinoguy1000) 17:23, 16 April 2009 (UTC) --「 ダイノ ガイ 千?!」(Dinoguy1000) 17:23, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

The TW edit summary used with {{

says "deliberate" factual errors. While that's the appropriate usage for the template, level 1 templates are worded in such a way to assume good faith while informing of the reason for the revert. But the word "deliberate" implies a strong assumption of bad faith. I think it would be better if the word "deliberate" were omitted or replaced with "apparent", either at just level 1 or at all levels. --—/

This one may be quite rare, but it seems that if you use twinkle to prod-2 an existing prod, and if that existing prod has nested curly brackets to describe the problem then twinkle puts the prod-2 within the outer curly brackets, as opposed to after the outer curly brackets. Maybe it needs to search for the last curly brackets for it's insert... Example here [25]. JCutter ( talk) 02:28, 9 May 2009 (UTC) -- JCutter ( talk) 02:28, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
Counting brackets would certainly be an improvement, but would still leave a number of openings, like nowiki and pre tags or interleaving brackets. From the top of my head:
<nowiki>}}</nowiki> <pre>}}</pre> <!--}}--> }} [[}}]] [[foo | {{ bar | ]] }} {{ bar | [[foo | }} ]]
In the end, the only real solution would be to duplicate the MediaWiki parser.
FWIW though, it should hardly ever happen. The change that caused it in this case has been
reverted.

This could just be because I'm unfamiliar with the interface, having recently installed it, but as far as I can tell, Twinkle does not have an option to choose whether to mark edits as minor. This was causing problems for me, as I had 'mark all edits as minor by default' in my preferences - meaning several edits were marked as minor that really shouldn't have been. I've since disabled this option, but it does seem to highlight a potential problem - or is there a 'minor/not minor' button I'm missing somewhere? Terraxos ( talk) 07:51, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

not quite a bug, though it has caused me (and others) some headaches. Twinkle defaults to marking all forms of rollback (agf, vandal, normal, and torev) as minor. not considering this, I got myself a short block for unintentionally marking normal reverts as minor, and I know of at least one other editor who's had this happen. Marking vandalism minor by default is fine, but could we remove the default minor tag from agf and normal (and maybe torev, though I don't know what that means...)? It would save confusion for others down the line. plus, AGF and Normal reverts should probably not be minor in any case. Ludwigs2 20:47, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm running Opera in WinXP on two different machines. In the last week or so, Twinkle has not been opening user talk pages when I revert.

I've been having the same problems using Opera 9.63. The revert stops at the 'data loading' stage but appears to be successful. Also, the user warning procedure suffers the same problem - as the user talk page doesn't open automatically, the name of the page has to be entered manually, and again the procedure doesn't complete - it simply stops at the 'adding level 2 heading' stage, but the edit still seems to succeed.

When I attempted to nominate WP:Scary transclusion for RFD, it was not added to the log.

Twinkle deletes the wrong images. About once a month one of the protected, high-use, high-risk {{ imbox}} default images are erased. One of the affected files is File:Imbox deletion.png. (That is, I think it happens to several images in the mbox family, but I haven't kept notes about it and I couldn't find other examples right now.) Every time when I ask the admin that erased the image they claim to have used Twinkle and that they were aiming for some other image. But most of them can't remember which image they were aiming for. But now one admin did remember. See his comment at User talk:Valley2city#File:Imbox deletion.png. This has been going on for a long time. So it seems it really is a Twinkle bug, and not just a poor excuse. See for instance the log for File:Imbox deletion.png. -- David Göthberg ( talk) 21:49, 26 March 2009 (UTC) -- David Göthberg ( talk) 21:49, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

If you use vandalism rollback to make a revert, the user talk page is opened and the linked article is automatically populated. If you change from a warning to a block notice, the linked article (which is usually greyed out) retains the linked article from the reversion. When placing the block note, it leaves an odd edit summary and it puts it under a month heading. See this. ---- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 15:08, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

When notifying an article's original creator that the article has been nominated for deletion, Twinkle currently does not take into consideration where the article was originally created as a redirect and that redirect was later turned into an article. This can lead to situations where someone is notified of the deletion nomination of an article they have no interest in. However, there's really no way for Twinkle to be able to tell this, so a better behavior would probably be for it to notify the original creator and anyone who turned the redirect into an article (with some checking to eliminate cases where people are reverting back and forth between article and redirect, for one reason or another). This request was spurred by this notification and discussion. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千?!」(Dinoguy1000) 17:23, 16 April 2009 (UTC) --「 ダイノ ガイ 千?!」(Dinoguy1000) 17:23, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

The TW edit summary used with {{
uw-error1}}
says "deliberate" factual errors. While that's the appropriate usage for the template, level 1 templates are worded in such a way to assume good faith while informing of the reason for the revert. But the word "deliberate" implies a strong assumption of bad faith. I think it would be better if the word "deliberate" were omitted or replaced with "apparent", either at just level 1 or at all levels. --—/

This one may be quite rare, but it seems that if you use twinkle to prod-2 an existing prod, and if that existing prod has nested curly brackets to describe the problem then twinkle puts the prod-2 within the outer curly brackets, as opposed to after the outer curly brackets. Maybe it needs to search for the last curly brackets for it's insert... Example here [25]. JCutter ( talk) 02:28, 9 May 2009 (UTC) -- JCutter ( talk) 02:28, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
Counting brackets would certainly be an improvement, but would still leave a number of openings, like nowiki and pre tags or interleaving brackets. From the top of my head:
<nowiki>}}</nowiki> <pre>}}</pre> <!--}}--> }} [[}}]] [[foo | {{ bar | ]] }} {{ bar | [[foo | }} ]]
In the end, the only real solution would be to duplicate the MediaWiki parser.
FWIW though, it should hardly ever happen. The change that caused it in this case has been
reverted.
