FAQ pages
Since you created the FAQ template, I am curious to know whether FAQ pages in the Talk namespace (Talk:article/FAQ) are considered to be talk pages or article pages. As you know, different policies apply to article resp. talk pages. I.e. removing other peoples comments from talk pages is considered discussion page vandalism, but additions to pages in article space can be removed for editorial reasons. OTOH templates like or  are usually not found on Talk pages. What do you think? --Raphael1 16:12, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Rollback
Hi AzaToth - this is RE: removing my rollback. I see you've noticed my recent outburst(s). Granted I'm an idiot and I've accepted that (mind you I always have) and I'm never going to do much good. But one good I know I can do and have been doing for years is helping with reverting vandalism and such activities. May I ask why you removed my rollback privileges? I am sorry if I have indeed misused it. Perhaps you are referring to my talk page revert ? In this case I accidentally clicked rollback instead of undo. Please let me know where I've slipped up so I can make sure it doesn't happen again. Cheers, Pump me  up  19:52, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * It was both that rollback ,and that it displayed a disturbing sign when I saw this in your contrib: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Pumpmeup&diff=195152679&oldid=195115846 → Aza Toth 19:55, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The second link was also (partially) accidental - I meant to press TW rollback and use an edit summary (remember this edit wasn't made using the rollback tool). Please, after evaluating my recent misconduct and past years of helpful contribution hand in hand, could you give back the Mediawiki rollback? I'm here for good, not evil. I apologize for any hassles I caused. Pump me  up  06:38, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

TWINKLE on non-wikimedia wikis
I'd be interested in using TW on The OLPC Wiki. Is it too hard to copy over? ff m  22:15, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Twinkle question
Hello AzaToth, I have a question about Twinkle scripts.

When I use other computers besides a select few, the Twinkle functions never work and on some not even the buttons come up. When I do click on a button where it comes out besides my most used computer, there is an error "Your account is too new to use Twinkle", even if I've been here for 1.5 years and counting! Can you help? STYROFOAM1994 Talk 23:02, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Twinkle tabs do not appear on pages that are redirected?
If I visit a redirect page, such as Apple Computers gets redirected to Apple Inc., then the Twinkle tabs do not appear. I have to use the exact article name so that I am not redirected, and so the Twinkle tabs will appear. Is this normal behavior? Thanks in advance! Gary King (talk) 19:20, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Twinkle ate my tag!
I'm not sure if there's enough here for you to work with here, but I just had an odd Twinkle hiccup. I used Twinkle to tag a page for CSD. It didn't tag the page, but left the notice for the user. After reloading the page, and checking my contribution history, I re-tagged the page. Worked as expected. Sequence of events below:
 * 13:20, 17 March 2008 (hist) (diff) User talk:Angharad Wynne‎ (rm double speedy notice (Twinkle hiccup)) (top) [rollback] [vandalism]
 * 13:18, 17 March 2008 (hist) (diff) User talk:Angharad Wynne‎ (Notification: Speedy deletion nomination of Eric Maddern.)
 * 13:18, 17 March 2008 (hist) (diff) m Eric Maddern‎ (Requesting speedy deletion (CSD A7).) (top) [rollback] [vandalism]
 * 13:17, 17 March 2008 (hist) (diff) User talk:Angharad Wynne‎ (Notification: Speedy deletion nomination of Eric Maddern.)
 * 04:29, 17 March 2008 (hist) (diff) Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Weareallone‎ (→User:Weareallone: add early Bellinghaus IP account 76.168.210.190) (top) [rollback] [vandalism]

Not sure if it's relevant, but it was my first edit since logging on. Hope this is useful. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 13:31, 17 March 2008 (UTC)


 * It's a somewhat know problem; which is that I cannot know if an edit has succeeded, so as of yet, the script mostly assumes that the edit in fact suceeded (which it does most of the time). And as usual, this kind of problems will probably disappear when api-edit is online. → Aza Toth 13:52, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Needed modifications for Twinkle's template use
עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 08:45, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) For CSD A7, please remove the general A7 template (db-bio), and add db-person for articles about unimportant individuals.
 * 2) For reporting at WP:UAA, please use user-uaa.

p-batch
Hi, tried to protect a group of pages under vandal attack, p-batch popped up OK, but nothing happened when I pressed "submit". Any ideas please? I've refreshed & all that. --Rodhullandemu  (Talk) 15:20, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: this edit, I did this because Maximr noted an error message on that line: " has no properties" which I'm guessing his browser was interpreting the  array declaration as an indexer. I mean,  is the same thing, right?  howcheng  {chat} 00:14, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Request for Twinkle "White Listing"
AzaToth, I am trying to improve on the friendly.js code in my own userspace. The problem that I am having is that is refers to the Twinkle base. Currently, the Twinkle morebits.js will not run code from anyone who is not a 'sysop' or who is white listed. I was hoping that you could white list me. I am hoping that I can improve on the friendly.js code and submit it to back to the friendly project. There are a lot more tags that can be added to the project code. - Ctempleton3 (talk) 05:49, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Think you have failed to understand the JavaScript code, true, that code shouldn't be there, but it won't affect anything (The only thing it does it 1: sets an variable to true or false, and 2: provides an function). → Aza Toth 12:15, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Twinkle and Modern Skin
I have recently been having some difficulty with the modern skin and getting Twinkle to to run on it. I use Mozilla fire fox, and in the monobook skin it works fine, is there something wrong with my computer, or doesn't twinkle work with modern? Thanks. Doctor Will Thompson (talk) 09:48, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Go to Special:Preferences -> Gadgets and select "Compatibility function to run scripts only tested on Monobook on the new Modern skin. Required for using Twinkle with the Modern skin." Save. all should be working. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 10:44, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
