Greetings folks. As a classification session of my own tonight hopefully demonstrates, I am very much interested in solving the issues everyone is having with STiki hanging or dropping sessions. I can see that tool usage is down across the board -- and this speaks to many people having difficulty. This will lead to tool abandonment, decreased adoption, and generally bad news for our brand/philosophy moving forward.
I used STiki from 12:29AM (UTC) onward tonight, for at least 50 minutes, making probably close to 100 edits (combining reverts, AGFs, warnings, etc.). Only once about 7 minutes in did the program hang (on an AGF revert). On my Mac I was able to (Command+Q) to quickly kill STiki's window, and restarted and had no issue moving forward. It appears all of my edits made it onto my WP contributions. That one hang didn't give me the strong trend I was looking for. I deliberately restarted several times (not prompted by an error) in order to see if that would screw things up.
I need folks to be as detailed as possible in making crash reports. I assume this never happens after "pass" or "innocent" actions? and is therefore descriptive of some interaction with the WMF servers, or POST actions in general. Is anyone else on a Mac? I think I am running JDK 1.7 in my development environment. I'm on the East Coast of the United States, FWIW, running on a decent speed connection. I am an admin and have rollback rights. I have a globally unified login but haven't dealt with the third-party authentication stuff the WMF plans to roll out. Unfortunately, firewall restrictions at work make it impossible for me to check in during normal (US east coast) business hours if someone is having difficulty at those times. Try to run STiki run from the terminal -- if you know what that means. A hanging application is unlikely to output anything to the terminal, but in other situations it might. Let's solve this together. Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 01:15, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
Andrew (a naive comment, not to forget). Stiki often crashes because it overloads CPU. On my PCs the (long-term) overload can be ca. 98% on WinXP, and is unbearable, but it is limited to 50% on Windows 8, and I can keep running Stiki with it. Normally the CPU load by Stiki should be much lower. I hope you didn't have that in your test runs (meaning that you could go on simply because your PC easily handles CPU overloads). Materialscientist ( talk) 22:29, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
For me, the problem isn't that STiki crashes or hangs - crashes never happen, and the very occasional hanging resolves itself after a few seconds. This is despite CPU usage never breaching 20% on Win7. My problem is that STiki often in a session never actually reverts any edits, despite giving off the appearance of doing so - yet the 'last revert' box remains empty with "No prior revert: No warning data". Repeatedly restarting will get it to work eventually, but it's generally an exercise in frustration. Just got my first working session in several weeks, so am pretty happy about that. I don't think the problem lies at my end (i.e. STiki is actually doing something), because after a restart, revisions classified as 'Vandalism, 'GFR' or 'Innocent' no longer show up in the queue, but revisions classified as 'Pass' still do. Seems STiki is classifying correctly but not reverting - this is coming from a computer newbie though, so take everything I say with a large grain of salt! Satellizer el Bridget (Talk) 08:56, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
I upgraded my Windows 7 PC to Windows 10 yesterday. I downloaded STiki today and unzipped it. When I open STiki, the file asks "How do you want to open this file?". I want to ask how to run STiki on Windows 10. I have also downloaded and installed Java and JDK. Even then also, STiki isn't running. Mr. Smart ℒION ⋠ ☎️ ✍⋡ 12:34, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
Sorry if this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to find any documentation concerning the markup that STiki uses (let me know if I'm overlooking it somewhere). How can I have STiki do Twinkle style #Month# #Year# instead of "Regarding your recent edits to #a#"? And if the heading exists already, will STiki automatically put the warning under it? Thanks! – FenixFeather (talk) (Contribs) 05:18, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
I applied a while back, and I was told to apply to WP:CVUA. I have graduated ( verify) and now have more edits. I'd like to get started with live after the academy. Thanks, ProgrammingGeek ( Page! • Talk! • Contribs!) 22:35, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
The edit-count tool is down right now, which is usually my approach for vetting these things. When I look at someone's experience, I mainly look for anti-vandal or other patrolling experience, knowledge of the warning system, and civility in talk-page dealings. Indeed, a breadth of experience would make someone a more refined STiki user. However, given the volume of vandalism, all we really need is someone with the good sense to press "pass" when ambiguity arises. I also feel that we told this user to complete CVUA in order to get access -- they did what was asked -- and now we are raising the bar again. I'm inclined to approve on that basis alone, though I'd also like to see more edits. West.andrew.g ( talk) 16:10, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
Done -- @ ProgrammingGeek: The user has been able to have a sensible dialogue about this with us. I have assumed good faith and granted access. I will spot-check his/her contributions in the coming days, and I hope he/she will exercise caution given this discussion. In the worst case, STiki really just enables dumb people to do dumb stuff quicker. In the future I will try to be more clear that CVUA completion alone might not meet the threshold. Good luck and happy reverting. West.andrew.g ( talk) 19:51, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
I try signing in but I keep getting an error message as follows: "Error in the user login interface, likely caused by a network error. Exception thrown to terminate thread." Any thoughts? I am currently in Mexico until August, but I don't think that would do it... Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you! - Pax Verbum 02:17, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
Greetings STiki-ers... We have a substantial release this iteration, fulfilling many months of feature requests and minor bug discoveries. This is the first version in a while whose release was not forced by an emergency circumstance (i.e., unannounced WMF change), and I am excited to get out meaningful features that demonstrate my commitment to the tool and the anti-damage community. This version brings us:
I have tested the code, but as we develop features around infrequent use-cases (4im, AIV, etc.) it becomes increasingly difficult to verify correctness in the wild. Your continued monitoring, innovation, and support is greatly appreciated. West.andrew.g ( talk) 03:46, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
On rare occasion, STiki pops up an edit that was a revision of vandalism or some other clearly beneficial contribution. I'd like to suggest that a "Thank" button be added so that the STiki user can WP:THANK the user who made the edit. Just an idea that would promote WikiLove and would appear to be a useful addition imho. Thanks! (Please {{ re}} me in reply) EvergreenFir (talk) 06:57, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
I will add to feature table with "Medium-Low" priority. Given my limited cycles with STiki, I am always afraid of mission creep. In an ideal world, we wouldn't want anyone to ever use the "thank" button, because ideally STiki would show only suspicious edits with a high probability of vandalism. Should this be a button in the main classification panel? Does "thank" imply "innocent" in the sense they should be tied together (in the way "4im" implies "vandalism") ? West.andrew.g ( talk) 15:28, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
The API functionality is easy to implement. Let's talk about how/where it should appear in the interface. West.andrew.g ( talk) 19:42, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
Hey everyone. When switching to the Mac/Apple platform a little over a year ago, I was surprised to find the GUI layout wasn't as clean as the Windows/Linux machine it was designed on (Java is supposed to be cross-platform, right?). It was work-able, but not quite how I designed it. I've finally got around to making some tweaks. Now, I don't know if I've screwed up the Windows design in the process; or how universal the fix is across different OS/versions/resolutions.
If anyone wants to help, can you screenshot how this new version looks on your machine: TWEAKED GUI VERSION? Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 18:14, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
For me, using Windows 7, it looks fine when full screen, but if I reduce the height of the window slightly, it takes the height from the "Watchlist options" drop down menu, which makes it look odd. Click on the screen shot on the right to zoom in and see what I mean. Yaris678 ( talk) 08:58, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure this edit shouldn't have happened. I edited the article manually and then pressed "good faith revert"... and it still did the revert.
I was using the slightly modified version of STiki linked above (STiki_2016_08_06).
Yaris678 ( talk) 07:16, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
Apologies if this has been addressed already, but STiki delivered a level-1 warning when a level-2 warning was already present (see [1]). I'm not sure why it didn't increment to a level-3 warning in this case. The edit being reverted was [2]. Perhaps it's because the level-2 warning was about OR? Thought I should point out the issue. Cheers. EvergreenFir (talk) 06:42, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
Stiki should show us possible vandalism on user pages, user talk pages, Wikipedia pages as help pages, policy pages.
In Huggle I reverted vandalism on WP:AN. -- Marvellous Spider-Man ( talk) 07:17, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
Yeah. The models could potentially be very different given conversational style and typical edit structure. It wouldn't be hard to enable the current model to classify in new namespaces -- but we run the risk of diluting the pool and lowering overall hit rates. These days STiki users are doing about 1000 reviews a day, and the average hit-rate (vandalism + AGF) has been nearing 50%. Clearly we haven't run out of vandalism in the (arguably more important) main namespace. The few cycles I have these days are dedicated to bug fixing, and when possible, making STiki users more efficient over an already rich pool of vandalism. Does CBNG score pages outside the main namespace? West.andrew.g ( talk) 15:12, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
Non-English words written in Asian language are not visible. They appear as square boxes on Stiki window. -- Marvellous Spider-Man ( talk) 15:24, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
The java app is still usable with a high DPI screen (ability to increase font size helps), but all the buttons and text boxes are really small and hard to read. Is there some way the size of the UI elements can be altered for high DPI screens? – FenixFeather (talk) (Contribs) 07:16, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
I've been having the old session drop issues again today: in fact I haven't been able to make a single revert. Is this just my connection, or other folks experiencing this too? Vanamonde ( talk) 17:16, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
@ West.andrew.g: I just did like 5-6 reverts in STiki, but none of them were "saved" on-wiki. Bug in new version? ( t) Josve05a ( c) 05:06, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 17:47, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
Yep, I suspect this has something to do with editing/rollback tokens. Because AGF doesn't use the rollback functionality, we might be seeing (similar to what we saw in the now-fixed rollback case) some initial issue in obtaining edit tokens. Let me see if I can test this out. Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 01:07, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
@ Vanamonde93: @ Rsrikanth05: Can you guys try this new version and let me know how it goes? There is a little bit of debugging output if you are able to run from terminal. Anyone else who frequently has session issues, please also give it a try and provide some feedback. Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 20:54, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
(broadly to everyone) Is DOS prompt still a thing? How does a Windows user launch from terminal/command-line/console/prompt? West.andrew.g ( talk) 20:23, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
I have the latest version. If you click good faith, your session will expire. -- Marvellous Spider -Man 10:33, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
Yes, this is one of my major focuses right now. Please join the thread above. Unfortunately I don't have such an easy time reproducing the error on my own machine, so I am going to continue issuing one-off debugging versions to see if the effected folks can provide some feedback to me. Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 18:37, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
This is why my head hurts. West.andrew.g ( talk) 03:13, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
I make a series of vandalism reverts and then I check my contributions, which are still. This happen sometimes, not always. Marvellous Spider -Man 18:36, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
@ Marvellous Spider-Man: This sounds like session loss similar to the AGF case being discussed above. Are you running the "2016_08_18" version? It was a special one-off version linked in an above section (and fairly well hidden, at that)... Are you running it from terminal? Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 19:30, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
Are you running it from terminal?. Marvellous Spider -Man 01:32, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
Is there a chance anyone with good wikitext-foo would be willing to combine and collapse the two sections on this topic in a more organized fashion? Its becoming hard to follow. Ideally, maybe we could organize a nice little section that:, (a) more prominently links the latest one-off version, (b) collapses historical discussion, (c) has some quick notes on how to "run from terminal", and (d) contains a table with usernames and whether or not they are currently experiencing issues. Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 13:58, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
I like adding additional info to the edit comment for good faith reverts, but I think the common case is putting in a new edit comment for every revert. I know make_comment_default is a private method of a different panel than gui_revert_panel, but is it possible to have an option to call make_comment_default automatically when reverting? Also, I'm not sure whether it's typical to change the edit comment, but the confusion over good faith edits in Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Vanamonde93 maybe makes a good case for making modifying the edit comment a more prominent feature. – FenixFeather (talk) (Contribs) 21:13, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
is making the program hang, as of the last 12 hours or so. Persists despite killing the process in task manager and restarting. Vanamonde ( talk) 07:14, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

There seem to be several simultaneous bugs today: first, none of my edits are saving; second, the issue of STiki crashing during AGF reverts has popped up again, and today it's on every AGF revert. Finally, I got a spontaneous session drop message just after launching it the first time. Vanamonde ( talk) 07:49, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
Hello, I think I've found my calling on Wikipedia for the foreseeable future - anti-vandalism. As such I am requesting a mentor and permissions to use the tool. Thanks for the consideration. Justin15w ( talk) 23:41, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
@ Justin15w: Yep, just a little more practice or WP:CVUA graduation and I'll speedily approve. Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 18:19, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
Stupid question - what functionality does STiki offer over Twinkle? Thanks in advance. Justin15w ( talk) 23:23, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi there! I am a relatively new wiki user, and have been spending my time on here patrolling recent changes. However, manual patrolling has gotten quite repetitive and time consuming. A tool like this would allow me to streamline and overall help contribute to the wiki and patrol recent changes! Basically, i'm looking for approval and hope that someone can do that for me. Thanks, Netdoge ( talk) 01:41, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
I have previously used STiki under the username "Sunmist3". Can those contributions be remapped to "Sunmist"? Sunmist ( talk) 03:19, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
Every now and then (like tonight) I find my STiki edits aren't actually making any changes according to Contributions. Is there a reason? Thanks! Justin15w ( talk) 22:07, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Anyone else who frequently has session issues, please also give it a try and provide some feedback. Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 20:54, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
(broadly to everyone) Is DOS prompt still a thing? How does a Windows user launch from terminal/command-line/console/prompt? West.andrew.g ( talk) 20:23, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
I have the latest version. If you click good faith, your session will expire. -- Marvellous Spider -Man 10:33, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
Yes, this is one of my major focuses right now. Please join the thread above. Unfortunately I don't have such an easy time reproducing the error on my own machine, so I am going to continue issuing one-off debugging versions to see if the effected folks can provide some feedback to me. Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 18:37, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
This is why my head hurts. West.andrew.g ( talk) 03:13, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
I make a series of vandalism reverts and then I check my contributions, which are still. This happen sometimes, not always. Marvellous Spider -Man 18:36, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
@ Marvellous Spider-Man: This sounds like session loss similar to the AGF case being discussed above. Are you running the "2016_08_18" version? It was a special one-off version linked in an above section (and fairly well hidden, at that)... Are you running it from terminal? Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 19:30, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Is there a chance anyone with good wikitext-foo would be willing to combine and collapse the two sections on this topic in a more organized fashion? Its becoming hard to follow. Ideally, maybe we could organize a nice little section that:, (a) more prominently links the latest one-off version, (b) collapses historical discussion, (c) has some quick notes on how to "run from terminal", and (d) contains a table with usernames and whether or not they are currently experiencing issues.

I like adding additional info to the edit comment for good faith reverts, but I think the common case is putting in a new edit comment for every revert. I know make_comment_default is a private method of a different panel than gui_revert_panel, but is it possible to have an option to call make_comment_default automatically when reverting? Also, I'm not sure whether it's typical to change the edit comment, but the confusion over good faith edits in Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Vanamonde93 maybe makes a good case for making modifying the edit comment a more prominent feature. – FenixFeather (talk) (Contribs) 21:13, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
is making the program hang, as of the last 12 hours or so. Persists despite killing the process in task manager and restarting. Vanamonde ( talk) 07:14, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
Just to let you know I previously used to be known as Class455fan1, and had my name changed to "Class455" about three weeks ago. Class455 ( talk) 10:25, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

There seem to be several simultaneous bugs today: first, none of my edits are saving; second, the issue of STiki crashing during AGF reverts has popped up again, and today it's on every AGF revert. Finally, I got a spontaneous session drop message just after launching it the first time. Vanamonde ( talk) 07:49, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
Hello, I think I've found my calling on Wikipedia for the foreseeable future - anti-vandalism. As such I am requesting a mentor and permissions to use the tool. Thanks for the consideration. Justin15w ( talk) 23:41, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
@ Justin15w: Yep, just a little more practice or WP:CVUA graduation and I'll speedily approve. Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 18:19, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
Stupid question - what functionality does STiki offer over Twinkle? Thanks in advance. Justin15w ( talk) 23:23, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi there! I am a relatively new wiki user, and have been spending my time on here patrolling recent changes. However, manual patrolling has gotten quite repetitive and time consuming. A tool like this would allow me to streamline and overall help contribute to the wiki and patrol recent changes! Basically, i'm looking for approval and hope that someone can do that for me. Thanks, Netdoge ( talk) 01:41, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
I have previously used STiki under the username "Sunmist3". Can those contributions be remapped to "Sunmist"? Sunmist ( talk) 03:19, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
Every now and then (like tonight) I find my STiki edits aren't actually making any changes according to Contributions. Is there a reason? Thanks! Justin15w ( talk) 22:07, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
