Hello, I've reversed a lot of unconstructive and/or vandalism on Wikipedia. I don't qualify for the rollback permission but I still would like to use this software. Thanks! MilkGams ( talk) 19:00, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
I am a small time editor who would like reverts vandalism, which appears to be on the rise and improves new edits. I don't have the qualifications for rollback yet. Therefore would like to have permission to use STiki. Adm365 01:41, 11 March 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xxxxx365 ( talk • contribs)
Hello and good day to you. I have returned to Wikipedia after an very extended and long absence. While I'm relearning the finer details of editing and format for articles and still struggling to catch up on my knowledge of coding, my passion is holding the line against vandalism. I haven't quite met the 1,000 edits yet, I don't think; but I'm pretty close. I would like to give STiki a try and see how things go with your software. I look forward to your answer.

Has anyone else been experiencing issues with editing sessions being dropped? When I tried to revert today, STiki reported that the WMF dropped my session and closed down. I followed the suggestion given and restarted STiki, but this has happened three times now. Any thoughts?

Hello, i want to use STiki, but not to "fight vandalism". I want to get notified about recent "unconstructive" changes, so that i can edit them, and create good content on wikipedia. Thats why i want to use Stiki. So is it possible to use stiki without rollback authorities? if not, what other tool or bot should i use for this purpose? — usernamekiran ( talk) 06:51, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
Hi Kiran,
You may find that using STiki in the way Andrew describes is the best way to meet your needs. Something else you could look at is WP:Snuggle, which list all edits by new users.

Hello. I am requesting to use STiki to help speed up removal of vandalism. While I don't have rollback just yet, and have seemingly few edits, I do have prior WP experience as an IP, making many edits under said IP, including several edits made to remove vandalism. Hopefully this shows that I am responsible and know my way around the wiki enough to use STiki, and I thank you for considering my request. Titanium Wolf ( talk) 14:24, 22 March 2017 (UTC

STiki has been unusable for the past 10 days or so (2 weekends and in between), due to the old issue with CPU overload by STiki; multiple restarts don't help. Materialscientist ( talk) 03:18, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
@ Materialscientist: Is the use of to-browser links a common part of your STiki workflow? Does this seem consistent? Sounds like a starting point. West.andrew.g ( talk) 13:52, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
Hello, I don't have 1000+ edits in the article namespace as I only became active recently but if you have a look at my edits, its mostly to fight vandalism. Presently, I am using Twinle and STiki will help me both find and revert vandalism. I must mention that I have also applied for rollback permision but its not yet granted (pending possibly due to my low edit count). I got excited recently when I crossed 1000 total edits and instantly came here to check just to realize that they all need to be in the article namespace. I also have nominated a few articles for deletion and most of them have been successful (vandalism, notability are some reasons). I have successfully requested and got blocked several users for vandalism as well. This tool will only help me further fight vandalism. Thank You! Yashovardhan ( talk) 17:09, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
Thank you for making such useful app, Just one request/query, like there's option to change colors in diff-browser, Is it possible to change the color of main body or add a dark skin?, Current skin is little too bright to work in darker rooms. Redhat101 Talk 01:48, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
I stumbled across this tool when it flagged a page that I maintain and watch due to an edit by a self-interested party. I was very impressed that ML had correctly identified the possibility of vandalism in such a subtle change. So I've downloaded the jar to play with it to satisfy some idle curiosity. I've very little experience editing Wikipedia, having only done a handful of edits over the years, but I operate in good faith and I'm judicious with changes.

Bill Michaelson, there is no doubt that you are a good editor, but starting with Twinkle or enrolling here might be good to get some counter vandalism experience first. Just my 2¢ ProgrammingGeek talktome 00:37, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for your response. Too high a bar for me; I've got other priorities. If Wikipedia had similar barriers to entry its history might have been different.

I have made the metadata/STiki queue the default. CBNG has been down for 12+ hours. West.andrew.g ( talk) 14:14, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
Metadata/STiki queue remains the default. While CBNG is running, the IRC feeds from which STiki consumes the scoring remains down. I have notified the CBNG team. West.andrew.g ( talk) 17:18, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
Not done -- No so fast. CBNG IRC is down again and STiki hit-rates are suffering, so I've made the metadata queue default again. West.andrew.g ( talk) 16:17, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
@ HMSLavender: @ Super48paul: The CBNG queue is down, and that is precisely why the STiki queue is set as default. You shouldn't be using the CBNG queue since there is nothing fresh going in, and anyone who is using it will just be driving deeper and deeper into a backlog of lower-probability-of-vandalism edits. P.S. does someone else want to give the CBNG authors a poke and see if they can get the IRC running again? The bot itself is running, and their IRC server is up, so I don't understand the difficulty, there. West.andrew.g ( talk) 13:15, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
Not done -- The CBNG IRC feed continues to be down. I've contacted the authors again. West.andrew.g ( talk) 17:44, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
Not done -- I am beginning to fear that the CBNG feed may be down indefinitely. My multiple posts (the last one without response) to the talk page have found their way into the archives. The IRC topics in one of the rooms recognizes that "CBNGRelay" is not present (the bot that does the broadcasting). STiki users may want to attempt another poke: the STiki/metadata queue is achieving hit-rates 10% below what we typically see with CBNG. This in turn might be affecting overall usage numbers, and in turn more vandalism is surviving longer. West.andrew.g ( talk) 16:13, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
Due to some issues in the relay causing it to not auth properly on reconnects, the servers got banned from IRC. I will look into resolving this when I have some spare time, but it's possibly time to look at others way of passing the high volumes of data.— k6ka 🍁 ( Talk · Contributions) 22:01, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
Is anybody having problems running STiki? Haven't been able to connect to the backend today. Not sure if this is due to my organisation's local settings, or if it's because the STiki server is down.

Hello,
When I double click on "STiki_2016_08_14.jar", it is simply opening in the WinRAR as any other zipped folder. I am using a Windows 7 Ultimate edition. Kindly let me know how to use STiki. Thanks a lot. —usernamekiran
(talk) 11:33, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
@ Usernamekiran: While not a complete "user-guide", the "help" documentation inside of STiki (accessed via the "Help" menu option) is pretty extensive in nature. In addition to reading WP:STiki, I'd definitely give it a look. Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 14:46, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
It would be great to have an optional STiki queue which is fed from the personal watchlist. Materialscientist ( talk) 09:24, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
Hi there! I have downloaded STiki numerous times. When it downloads, in the folder, it says STiki is a JAR file but it doesn't open. Any idea how to open it? Thanks, Telfordbuck ( talk) 21:30, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
All sorted thanks! Telfordbuck ( talk) 21:43, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
This is my laziness talking. I don't know if an edit counter among the targeted user's info would be easy or worth the effort to implement (or desirable: might it facilitate bias against low-count users?). But I'll put the suggestion out there because when I find obvious vandalism, I often check the user/IP's contribs (using the "edits" link) in case they're on a spree, and knowing if they don't have any other edits would avoid spending time checking. — benzband ( talk) 06:13, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
The last few times I have opened STiki (2016-08-14 version) and I tried to edit, it would give me an error message and STiki would immediately shut down. I have rollback, so I can use the program. Is anyone else having this problem? — MRD2014 Talk • Edits • Help! 14:57, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
Not working for me. I have to go ahead and use WP:Huggle. Flyer22 Reborn ( talk) 17:05, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
I tried to open it thrice in a row, no joy. L3X1 (distænt write) 02:52, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
@ West.andrew.g: Thanks for fixing things, but it appears that I've encountered another issue: I opened STiki yesterday to find that clicking "good faith revert" or "vandalism" wasn't actually performing a revert. The software moves on to the next diff as if it had reverted the previous edit, but the revert isn't made. I opened STiki on a new install on a different computer and the same issue arose. However, looking at the leaderboard, it seems that the edits I classified as "innocent" were registered. Judging by the contribs of STiki's frequent users it looks like I'm the only one having this problem. Could you take a look? – 72 (talk) 12:25, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
I recently upgraded my Windows operating system to Windows 10, and when I tried to open the app, it asks "How do you want to open this file?". What should I click on? This did not happen to me with Windows 8. Thank you.-- TerryAlex ( talk) 22:48, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
@ Sirlanz: With more than 2K main namespace edits, you automatically have permission to use the tool. Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 19:45, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
Not done An old request from a user with very few edits. While I'm inclined to assume good faith and believe other moderation duties make him/her capable, there is just too little en.wiki experience. West.andrew.g ( talk) 15:33, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
I'm having this problem using my alt account User:Joe Decker (alt). Complaints that I'm being kicked out by the server. If you check contributions on that account, you'll notice it has worked in the very recent past. I've also verified that the behavior happens whether that account is given rollback or not, which might or might not be useful info. Thanks in advance! -- joe decker talk 16:44, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to request permission to use this tool as I am currently using twinkle but this tool is much more efficient and easier to use. Also, I can identify vandalism easily and that will be my focus whilst using this tool. - ReeceTheHawk ( talk) 15:36, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
Hello, I would like to request permission to use the STiki tool to support fighting vandalism. I can identify vandalism easily and have been rectifying it recently with Twinkle. While Twinkle is useful, I believe STiki offers a more semi-automated approach. Thanks, Devonson4 ( talk) 19:42 01/12/2017
Not working for me. Flyer22 Reborn ( talk) 05:26, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
Just me then? Okay. West.andrew.g, I am having trouble in the sense that when I start STiki, the STiki signal will show, but the window won't open up. Flyer22 Reborn ( talk) 22:09, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
Done @ Flyer22 Reborn: @ HMSLavender: Everything should be working normal again, as I've offloaded the statistical workload to another machine. West.andrew.g ( talk) 13:30, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
@ Flyer22 Reborn: You are one of STiki's most dedicated users. We'll get it sorted out. I'll have more cycles after the new year, if not before. West.andrew.g ( talk) 02:24, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
This tool can produce edit summaries of the form: "Reverted <number> good faith edits by <user> using STiki". It is really unnecessary in this context to link to the policy on assuming good faith, and doing so risks appearing to cast doubt on whether the edits are good faith, because it may give the impression of reluctantly giving the benefit of the doubt because the policy dictates it. This is ironically antithetical to what the policy is trying to achieve. I suggest removing the link (so that the words "good faith" still appear, but as ordinary text). It would then come across as a nice simple statement that the edit(s) are in fact good faith. -- Money money tickle parsnip ( talk) 18:41, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

Hello, i would like to access the STiki API. The GitHub repository links to here, but this link appears to be dead. Is there a different way to access the API? Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dkeske ( talk • contribs) 14:32, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
The STiki server unexpectedly went down this afternoon (the machine lives in Philadelphia, and had this happened last night, I might have suspected some kind of Super Bowl conspiracy theory). A colleague was onsite and did a hard reboot of the machine. The box did not come back online. This implies: (1) Some type of network problem not corresponding to planned maintenance, and not affecting other machines in the lab, has persisted for more than hour, or (2) Something really bad has happened on the machine itself, unrelated to network issues (e.g., hard drive or other hardware failure). I am going to try to troubleshoot with folks on-site, but I don't have a great feeling about this, and if #2 reveals itself to be the cause, we have some serious problems. West.andrew.g ( talk) 21:22, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
I just downloaded STiki but then, where is the .exe file? All I saw was a .jar file, which I can't open. L293D ( ☎ • ✎) 13:32, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
Greetings, STiki-ers. When about to welcome a new user, I found they were having some difficulty and posted this thread: Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#Apparent_problems_with_STiki. I can't re-create the issue on my machine. Is anyone else experiencing this? Such an error would likely be initiated by GUI latency, or possible hotkey side-effects. Given its probably a local issue, this is going to be very hard to replay/simulate locally. West.andrew.g ( talk) 14:45, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
@ Pkbwcgs: Just as a data point, trying using the hotkeys to classify instead of your mouse. They are described in the documentation. For example pressing the "v" key will classify the current edit as vandalism. Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 17:51, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi there! I have downloaded STiki numerous times. When it downloads, in the folder, it says STiki is a JAR file but it doesn't open. Any idea how to open it? Thanks, Telfordbuck ( talk) 21:30, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
All sorted thanks! Telfordbuck ( talk) 21:43, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
This is my laziness talking. I don't know if an edit counter among the targeted user's info would be easy or worth the effort to implement (or desirable: might it facilitate bias against low-count users?). But I'll put the suggestion out there because when I find obvious vandalism, I often check the user/IP's contribs (using the "edits" link) in case they're on a spree, and knowing if they don't have any other edits would avoid spending time checking. — benzband ( talk) 06:13, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
The last few times I have opened STiki (2016-08-14 version) and I tried to edit, it would give me an error message and STiki would immediately shut down. I have rollback, so I can use the program. Is anyone else having this problem? — MRD2014 Talk • Edits • Help! 14:57, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
Not working for me. I have to go ahead and use WP:Huggle. Flyer22 Reborn ( talk) 17:05, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

@ West.andrew.g: Thanks for fixing things, but it appears that I've encountered another issue: I opened STiki yesterday to find that clicking "good faith revert" or "vandalism" wasn't actually performing a revert. The software moves on to the next diff as if it had reverted the previous edit, but the revert isn't made. I opened STiki on a new install on a different computer and the same issue arose. However, looking at the leaderboard, it seems that the edits I classified as "innocent" were registered. Judging by the contribs of STiki's frequent users it looks like I'm the only one having this problem. Could you take a look? – 72 (talk) 12:25, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
I recently upgraded my Windows operating system to Windows 10, and when I tried to open the app, it asks "How do you want to open this file?". What should I click on? This did not happen to me with Windows 8. Thank you.-- TerryAlex ( talk) 22:48, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
@ Sirlanz: With more than 2K main namespace edits, you automatically have permission to use the tool. Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 19:45, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
Not done An old request from a user with very few edits. While I'm inclined to assume good faith and believe other moderation duties make him/her capable, there is just too little en.wiki experience. West.andrew.g ( talk) 15:33, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
I'm having this problem using my alt account User:Joe Decker (alt). Complaints that I'm being kicked out by the server. If you check contributions on that account, you'll notice it has worked in the very recent past. I've also verified that the behavior happens whether that account is given rollback or not, which might or might not be useful info. Thanks in advance! -- joe decker talk 16:44, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
Can it work on FreeBSD, or through wine? —usernamekiran (talk) 16:38, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
Hello, I would like to request permission to use this tool as I am currently using twinkle but this tool is much more efficient and easier to use. Also, I can identify vandalism easily and that will be my focus whilst using this tool. - ReeceTheHawk ( talk) 15:36, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
Hello, I would like to request permission to use the STiki tool to support fighting vandalism. I can identify vandalism easily and have been rectifying it recently with Twinkle. While Twinkle is useful, I believe STiki offers a more semi-automated approach. Thanks, Devonson4 ( talk) 19:42 01/12/2017

Just me then? Okay. West.andrew.g, I am having trouble in the sense that when I start STiki, the STiki signal will show, but the window won't open up. Flyer22 Reborn ( talk) 22:09, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

@ Flyer22 Reborn: You are one of STiki's most dedicated users. We'll get it sorted out. I'll have more cycles after the new year, if not before. West.andrew.g ( talk) 02:24, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
This tool can produce edit summaries of the form: "Reverted <number> good faith edits by <user> using STiki". It is really unnecessary in this context to link to the policy on assuming good faith, and doing so risks appearing to cast doubt on whether the edits are good faith, because it may give the impression of reluctantly giving the benefit of the doubt because the policy dictates it. This is ironically antithetical to what the policy is trying to achieve. I suggest removing the link (so that the words "good faith" still appear, but as ordinary text). It would then come across as a nice simple statement that the edit(s) are in fact good faith. -- Money money tickle parsnip ( talk) 18:41, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

Hello, i would like to access the STiki API. The GitHub repository links to here, but this link appears to be dead. Is there a different way to access the API? Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dkeske ( talk • contribs) 14:32, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
The STiki server unexpectedly went down this afternoon (the machine lives in Philadelphia, and had this happened last night, I might have suspected some kind of Super Bowl conspiracy theory). A colleague was onsite and did a hard reboot of the machine. The box did not come back online. This implies: (1) Some type of network problem not corresponding to planned maintenance, and not affecting other machines in the lab, has persisted for more than hour, or (2) Something really bad has happened on the machine itself, unrelated to network issues (e.g., hard drive or other hardware failure). I am going to try to troubleshoot with folks on-site, but I don't have a great feeling about this, and if #2 reveals itself to be the cause, we have some serious problems.

I just downloaded STiki but then, where is the .exe file? All I saw was a .jar file, which I can't open. L293D ( ☎ • ✎) 13:32, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
Greetings, STiki-ers. When about to welcome a new user, I found they were having some difficulty and posted this thread: Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#Apparent_problems_with_STiki. I can't re-create the issue on my machine. Is anyone else experiencing this? Such an error would likely be initiated by GUI latency, or possible hotkey side-effects. Given its probably a local issue, this is going to be very hard to replay/simulate locally. West.andrew.g ( talk) 14:45, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
@ Pkbwcgs: Just as a data point, trying using the hotkeys to classify instead of your mouse. They are described in the documentation. For example pressing the "v" key will classify the current edit as vandalism. Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 17:51, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
