Input requested
Hi. A little over a year ago, you'd blocked. He is now the subject of a community discussion at Administrators%27_noticeboard. I'd like to request for your input at that discussion. Thank you, Ncmvocalist (talk) 04:37, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

I hope that this wasn't too bold! Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 15:02, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Or this! Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 16:03, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hehe, as long you take the blame when all breaks :) → Aza Toth 18:04, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Heh, I already watchlisted all of the appropriate talk pages, including this one, in case that were to happen :-). Let me know if there is anything in particular that you'd like me to look into.  Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 18:07, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey!
Sorry to bug you. I want to add Twinkle, and I have attempted to add what I was supposed to for my monobook file. Can I ask what I do next? In my opinion, some of the instructions contradict one another, and some overlap.

 * You hadn't imported the script quite right, so I fixed it for you. If you hit CTRL + F5 to clear your cache and refresh, you should be working.  Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 18:20, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks! As a correction, I read Twinkle/doc for instructions on where to start, right? Ay (Reply! ,Contribs! ) 18:29, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * yup :) → Aza Toth 19:04, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Twinkle issue
I recently discovered that when you use the di- function (pseudo-speedy deletion) for images on Twinkle it can sometimes delete the caption from the image if it has one. See where I tagged Image:Palin nowhere.jpg for an example. It also doesn't always seem to attach the notice (see Image:BeGoodToMe.jpg for example). See also this MCQ thread. Could you look into this when you get a chance? Stifle (talk) 16:39, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * BTW, it looks like it's adding an extra pipe to the image transclusion. Stifle (talk) 16:42, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Yea, it's an feature, not an bug (you don't alwayss know which one is the "real" caption) → Aza Toth 17:24, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, it hides the existing caption in general, which is suboptimal. Stifle (talk) 19:48, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

twinkleprotect.js
Carl, I was trying to figure out what was going wrong with page protection for administrators in twinkleprotect.js and I think I have found the problem. It seems that the some of the information in the postData object is getting encoded differently by morebits.js than the browser would have encoded it. Specifically, the strings that are in the parameters "mwProtect-edit-expires", "mwProtect-move-expires", and "mwProtect-create-expires" are encoded in such a way that the MediaWiki software doesn't understand them and creates an indefinite protection. The problem is with the encoding of a space character. If you select "other time" on the protect page and then type in "1 day", for instance, Firefox encodes the post data as "1+day". morebits.js, on the other hand, encodes "1 day" as "1%20day". I thought that changing the space to a plus in the time length values would get around this problem, but then the string is encoded as "1%2Bday". Any help or insight on this encoding issue that you could provide me would be excellent. Thanks in advance! Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 14:30, 23 October 2008 (UTC)


 * That would in my opinion be an bug in MediaWiki, as it clearly should be able to parse%20 as well as '+'; All encoding in defined in the QueryString class. → Aza Toth 16:28, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Twinkle is down
Wikipedia talk:Twinkle Just thought you might like to know. --Dynaflow  babble  06:36, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Ditto. It goes through the motions of a CSD, displaying the pop-up window, responding to a click on a deletion reason, showing the steps of the process and then closing the pop-up, but the article to be deleted isn't changed, no is the author's Talk page.—Largo Plazo (talk) 12:05, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * fixed → Aza Toth 23:58, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
