Issue with mass move
Hey, I closed the discussion at Talk:Snooker world rankings 1976/1977 and tried to mass-move all the articles using the move all button, but the script failed to move them. Not sure why, and a couple of the ones in the middle did get moved (I closed out of the pop-up around that time, as the first several had all failed and I didn't expect any of the rest to work).

I ended up just moving the articles using the script but using the move directly button, which worked okay. Skarmory  (talk •   contribs)  22:31, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Looking at how it started working a minute after the edits listing the close were done I think that might be due to rate limiting by the servers - I suspect the same issue would have occurred if you had clicked "move directly" from the start.
 * I’ve been meaning to implement a more systematic process to prevent rate limiting causing issues, but that wont be a quick fix - for the moment, when closing large multi-move RM’s, maybe wait a minute before clicking any button to start the moves? BilledMammal (talk) 22:45, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Suggestion for project notifications
Nice script, I plan on testing it out. I was going to make a suggestion over at the talk page for RmCloser when I stumbled upon this script, so I'll leave it here instead as I see myself using this script more.

Sometimes we have RMs on pages that include other pages, which may have wikiprojects not tagged on the discussion page. In that case, it would be handy to have an "other Wikiproject" box in the notification dialog which would allow us to enter or even search for a project (in that case, it might be handy to figure out how the "Rater" script gets its list of projects, but even just a plain "type your own" box might be doable). The only other way presently is to temporarily tag the discussion page, or just do it manually.

Also: the move+ option appears in the menu on pages you shouldn't be able to move, like Special:MovePage (only mentioning this because I can see some users trying to use it there for page swaps, and it pre fills "Special:MovePage" into the from box, which is of course impossible.)

No worries or pressure, just an idea. Keep up the good work! ASUKITE 15:26, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll add both of those to the todo list! BilledMammal (talk) 06:26, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Apparent issue
I've reverted a couple broken edits today where this script has removed a redirect entirely when it appears that it did not intend to do so, see here and here. Not sure if this is an issue with the script itself or simply user error but either way it should probably refuse to make such edits. Tollens (talk) 06:20, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * That's bizarre. It has to be the script breaking, but I'm not sure why it will have suddenly started. I'll look into it, thank you. BilledMammal (talk) 06:27, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm struggling to reproduce it. I'll continue looking into it, but if you or other editors have additional examples, please let me know. BilledMammal (talk) 05:28, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
