The RedWarn team is currently in the process of renaming to Ultraviolet. Some documentation pages are still in the process of being written/transferred. Read the announcement here. |
This is the talk page for discussing bugs, suggestions and improvements to the RedWarn and Ultraviolet user scripts. |
|
If you have a confidential issue, such as a security issue, you must report it to the developers confidentially by sending an email to tools.ultraviolettoolforge.org with the details of the issue. See
mw:Reporting security bugs#What to include in a security issue report for more information on what a security report should have. |
Before creating a new section, please look for your issue on the talk page first to avoid duplicates. If you would like to report a bug, please see
Wikipedia:Ultraviolet/Documentation/Troubleshooting first for basic troubleshooting information. If this hasn't solved your problem,
structure your bug report properly for us to help in the best way possible. FYI: The RedWarn team is currently working hard on developing the new technologies for Ultraviolet. Because of this, we are only providing minimal support and bug fixes for RedWarn 16.1. We appreciate your patience :) |
RedWarn has multiple members on its
official development team who can answer your queries. If you have RedWarn installed, the
cowboy logo
will appear next to their names. If a message came from anyone of the following, they are part of either RedWarn's development team or user query team and you can put your trust in them. |

Hello there! By now, you may have already noticed that RedWarn hasn't had any major updates since 16.1 (released on March 8, 2021), and we've only been sending out some minor patches and bugfixes since then. In that time, we've been hard at work developing a complete rewrite of the project since September 2020, and we've finally done enough work to be able to release a beta version of this rewrite soon.
Because of many different factors, including the rewrite having diverged so much from the original code, the team has decided to give this version of RedWarn a brand new name. We've decided to call it Ultraviolet; electromagnetic radiation found past the opposite side of red on the visible light spectrum. Releases of the userscript will eventually be available on user pages of 10nm — 10 nanometers being the smallest possible wavelength of ultraviolet light. We're still working on getting a user-friendly version of Ultraviolet available; we ask for your patience as we get closer to releasing more feature-filled builds of Ultraviolet.
In essence, Ultraviolet is a rewritten version of RedWarn. That said, most of the original code has been removed or replaced. Significant work has also been done to make the process of using the script smooth and universal, removing nearly all of the UI-related bugs experienced in the current version of RedWarn. In addition, we're also working on Safari support, mobile usability, internationalization (other languages), wiki-specific configurations, a dark mode, and a lot more features that make Ultraviolet just work out of the box.
For a while, we've been holding off on development of further versions of RedWarn in favor of the rewrite. Expanding on the current code is a feat that would take a significant amount of time, on par with just rewriting the script itself. For now, RedWarn will still be supported and given security updates and patches for minor bugs. Once Ultraviolet has been completed and integrates all the features of RedWarn, we will decommission RedWarn and ask users to switch to the new userscript.
Stick to RedWarn while we're still working on implementing all the features of RedWarn into Ultraviolet. Rest assured, we will still provide updates that prioritize user safety and security, so you can still use RedWarn without the fear of compromise. We highly recommend to anyone who does counter-vandalism patrol often to use only RedWarn for now in order to avoid any catastrophic bugs. We're still finishing up on making the script backwards-compatible with your existing RedWarn configuration, after that we'll begin providing beta versions of Ultraviolet, so that anyone who wishes to use Ultraviolet before it has caught up with RedWarn can do so.
You'll be able to keep on using RedWarn until we've made our first release version (i.e. 1.0) of Ultraviolet. After that, we will require you to switch to Ultraviolet from RedWarn, as we will be dropping support for RedWarn. Although this may be a bit of a bother, we ask for your patience in this eventual transition.
We'll be moving away from the RedWarn name entirely in the coming months. The team believes it's important to move away from the name, as most of Ultraviolet has been built from scratch and holds little to no resemblance to RedWarn (at least in terms of the code), and due to some other reasons.
This is a big milestone for us as userscript developers, and we hope to have your full support. In case you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask us about them below. Thanks!

Good day, this is a courteous message to inform Ultraviolet's maintainers and users that:
boldtext
parameter is used. In such a case, string of text in |boldtext=string of text
may no longer function as expected as the body text at {{
Uw-copyright-new/body}} has changed. But it seems it would be used more by users who would add the template manually.waddie96 ★ ( talk) 9:35 pm, Today (UTC+2) waddie96 ★ ( talk) 19:56, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi, can you add {{ AIV Notice}} to the list of available warning templates, you could also put an option to give this warning on the report to AIV screen. This way whenever you reported someone to AIV through Ultraviolet you could easily leave a notice on their talk page. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CCWikiMan ( talk • contribs) 08:33, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
The project page seems to assume that folks know what it’s like to use Ultraviolet. For potential new users, is it possible to add a couple of examples of what happens when you run it? Would it ping me whenever any possible vandalism happens across Wikipedia? Would I limit it to watch specific editors and/or pages and/or categories? Does it limit itself to my watchlist? Apologies for newbie questions, especially if they’re already answered somewhere obvious. -- Northernhenge ( talk) 18:14, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi. I just started using UV and was wondering what "Quick Template" does, as I found no mention of it in the documentation. Thanks. '''[[

I am Suggesting that Ultraviolet (and RedWarn also) should be moved to somewhere else on the page. Because, They are causing layout inconsistency in pages with multiple topicons (like this & this; there are many more pages like these).

Hi! I installed ultraviolet 2 days ago, it was working fine; I even performed an action about 2 hours ago. But, now somehow Ultraviolet isn't loading and I was unable to visit any Wikipedia pages (except Wikipedia:Ultraviolet/Install and Wikipedia:Ultraviolet/Install/Easy); After while loading browser displayed an Error message. The problem was solved once I uninstalled Ultraviolet. Please fix the problem and let me know when its ready again to be used. 𝓥𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷24𝓑𝓲𝓸 ( ᴛᴀʟᴋ) 04:35, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi. I've been using UV for some time now and would like to request a simple feature: Do not file reports at AIV or UAA when another report of the same user is present. This feature will be similar to how Twinkle aborts such requests. It will be helpful for reducing clutter on the report pages. Thanks! '''[[
