Login error
Hi, when i try to login, i get an error with the message "Failed to retrieve user rights". I have the new version (0.7.9) and i'm sysop on es.wiki. :S greetings. --Ctrl Z (talk) 21:08, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Umm.. yeah. It's SUL-problems. Is this when logging into en.wikipedia or es.wikipedia? Calvin 1998 (t-c) 22:27, 30 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Into es.wikipedia --Ctrl Z (talk) 10:38, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, Antonio Lopez can log into es.wikipedia fine, I think, so I guess we'll have to wait until Gurch comes back and reads this... Calvin 1998 (t-c) 03:43, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, it's possible that i can't login into es.wikipedia because i'm user on en.wikipedia and bg.wikipedia (user, not autoconfirmed user)?. --Ctrl Z (talk) 08:47, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Huggle was incorrectly checking for the presence of an autoconfirmed group on projects that do not have one. This should be fixed in the next version -- Gurch (talk) 00:59, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, we sure are keeping you busy...
...but would it be too much trouble to add some more warning templates to the "Advanced" window when you click on the Warn User button? I was thinking specifically uw-copyright, since that's come up at least twice in my Huggling just today, but other ones at WP:UTM I think deserve inclusion. I know many, including uw-copyright, are single-level, but that shouldn't be hard to get around -- you could just make the "Level" section gray out when you select a single-level template. -- BlastOButter42 See  Hear  Speak  04:48, 2 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Templates that don't have a level system can simply be added to the user templates menu (the blue "i" button). I have addded uw-copyright now; it should take effect when you restart Huggle -- Gurch (talk) 04:53, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, but they're not all there, and I can't remember the template names for all of them, which means I have to go to WP:UTM and look it up, which takes up valuable Huggling time. But thanks for including uw-copyright. -- BlastOButter42 See  Hear  Speak  01:29, 3 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Which other ones do you want? I'm not going to add every template message there is, because the menu would be too big and because half of them are pointless anyway -- Gurch (talk) 02:14, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, looking at them now, the uw-speedy and uw-npa ones might be handy but other than that you're right. -- BlastOButter42 See  Hear  Speak  11:38, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
 * "Personal attacks" in the warnings menu should serve the same function as uw-npa. I've added uw-speedy to the templates list, this should take effect immediately -- Gurch (talk) 01:02, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Restricting Huggle to folk with rollback
What about people who have versions 9 and less on their computers, if they haven't got rollbak wouldn't they just continue using older versions to get around the restrictions. Also, wouldn't it be an idea to remove the links to older versions? —— Ryan   |   t   •   c   11:27, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * A) Gurch can disable old versions and B) Older versions arn't SUL-compliant and fail on en-wp. ff m  12:42, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The changes were made via a configuration page that all versions obey. ff m  12:43, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, OK I understand. Thanks —— Ryan   |   t   •   c   12:53, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Umm... that's not true. Only 0.7.10 and presumably above support limiting the use of huggle per time/rollback/admin, etc. in the cfg page (see the "changes" page). Versions below that will ignore those lines in the configuration as they won't understand it and continue to function normally. The SUL-thing will mess up any en-wp users trying to use anything below 0.7.9, but 0.7.9 should still work w/out rollback oops... WP:BEANS... Calvin 1998 (t-c) 22:35, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I've decided old versions will always be usable for at least 24 hours after a new version has been released, even if the ultimate intention is to remove access to it, in order not to cause inconvenience. 0.7.10 is now required -- Gurch (talk) 02:55, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Advertising in edit summary?
What happened to not advertising in the edit summary? I got the new version of huggle and now it says (huggle) at the end of each edit summary. I'm not upset or anything, just wondering why the sudden change of heart, Gurch?  Dadude3320  13:09, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes I 100% agree. I noticed this this morning. Sure it is a good idea? I know many vandals that look at who reverted them and this would then give them a dirrect link to this very powerfull program.  ·Add§hore·  T alk /C ont 13:12, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think it matters, vandals don't have rollback so would therefore find the program inoperable —— Ryan   |   t   •   c   13:16, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * It'd still be nice to not have it there. Or have an option to turn it off. I think we were all doing fine without it. That's just my opinion though.  Dadude3320  13:22, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Twinkle does the same... ff m  14:16, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * In twinkle you can turn it off. Also good point Lupin :>  ·Add§hore·  T alk /C ont 16:04, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * This change has been requested several times, and was therefore implemented. The text appended to the summary can be changed or removed by changing or removing the "summary:" option in the project configuration page -- Gurch (talk) 17:06, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I see your logic. Is it possible to remove it just for your user? (on your users cfg subpage) I have been trying but it always stays as (huggle) even if I set it to something else.  ·Add§hore·  T alk /C ont 17:09, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Not currently -- Gurch (talk) 17:15, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok. Thanks for your reply. Its quite funny to look into the Recent changes and see the ammount of (huggle)'s there are :>. This program really does get used.  ·Add§hore·  T alk /C ont 17:18, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Does not Currently mean that it will/can be added at a later date?  Dadude3320  17:30, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * People requested it, but to be honest, I preferred it without it in the edit summary. Ah well. Can't make everyone happy.  Enigma  message 17:33, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I think it would be a good idea to let individual users opt in or out of the "advertising" thing. I personally like it, but it would be nice to have the option of whether to turn it on or off.

&larr;As one of those who requested it, I very strongly oppose allowing the option to leave it out. Part of the - uh - "colourful" reputation Huggle and its users have at the moment is down to not being able to tell Huggle rollback from "normal" rollback. If the Huggle and Twinkle edits are marked, then when we're reviewing a contribution history we know which tool needs to have access removed. As certain users have already discovered, when account is being used inappropriately and it's not clear which tool was used to make the inappropriate edits, the alternative is blocking until we can work out what's gone wrong, or taking away your rollback rights. The temporary removal of a tool is an inconvenience; the block and/or loss of rights stays on a user's log forever. —  iride  scent  01:00, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * If you're abusing or using huggle/Twinkle inappropriately isn't a block and or loss of rights normally in store anyway? You can remove the [TW] At the end of twinkle edits, IMHO, huggle shouldn't be any different.And as it says on the Requests for Rollback "Misuse of the feature, even if unintentional or in good faith may give cause for it to be removed."And On The huggle Page: "Responsibility for edits rests with the owner of the account with which they are made. "Use of an automated tool" is not an excuse."If your using huggle you should know how to use the tool and revert vandalism properly. If not, you NEED to have your rollback rights revoked. If you're abusing it you NEED to have rollback revoked. If something "were" to go wrong (Reverting of good faith edits) even when using the NORMAL rollback tool, you'd have rollback removed.  Dadude3320  01:23, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * No - we generally apply a different standard to Huggle edits. Since Twinkle opens the talkpage (and it's assumed that manual rollbackers are also opening the talkpage) of whoever's being reverted, it's easier to see right away that you're stepping into an edit-war that's already the subject of discussion, or reverting something as "vandalism" when there's talkpage consensus to keep it. As anyone keeping even a casual eye on ANI recently will notice, were we to apply the "letter of the law" in the case of Huggle edits, within a week Huggle would have about three users left. Gurch designed it for obvious vandalism, but thanks to the overenthusiams some users have for the "Q" instead of the "R" button (and the fact that certain users aren't reading the instructions), we're in a situation where people are being reported to AIV with a summary of "vandalism only account" for changing British to American spelling, indefblocked for typing "hi" onto a page, issued with final warnings for adding correct information but failing to include a citation all of these have happened within the last couple of days - as some of you are presumably aware, a couple of weeks ago, disabling Huggle access for anyone except Gurch was being seriously discussed. Luckily it didn't come to that, but everyone using huggle is on a sort of unofficial probation at the moment. Because (whatever you all may think of Those Evil Admins) we don't want to hound people off the project, damage future RFA prospects etc, when good-faith misuse, as opposed to actual abuse, comes up, we'd far rather just quietly disable your huggle access, explain what you did wrong and give it back when you've promised to be more careful, than have "rollback removed: systematic abuse" on your log to haunt you in any future Request For Whatever process. —  iride  scent  18:23, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Wow.I wasn't seeing all sides of the argument, And I didn't know some of the things you mentioned above. I'll shut up now.  Dadude3320  18:28, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

How is Huggle able to insert the custom edit summary? I didn't think that native rollback supported that. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 02:59, 7 June 2008 (UTC)


 * The URL to rollback a page accepts a "summary" parameter, but none is supplied by default. Find a "rollback" link somewhere, copy and paste the URL into the address bar, add the text "&summary=test" on the end and press Enter. The edit should be rolled back with the summary "test" -- Gurch (talk) 03:42, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Huggle question
Hi Gurch - have a question on Huggle - after having used it for a day, its now telling me I need "rollback" to use it. Does this mean I must apply for rollback privileges, and if not, what does that message mean? What should I do? If I have to apply for rollback, why did it work a day before?  Vishnava talk  04:08, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah. Administrators have been complaining for almost as long as huggle's been around at the amount of abuse it gets. Gurch decided to make rollback mandatory. It worked the day before because you don't need rollback on version 0.7.9. Everyone is now required to use v0.7.10, which requires rollback. You'll have to get rollback in order to continue to use huggle. The link for requests is WP:RFR. Calvin 1998 (t-c) 04:17, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

clarification of ignore button
Could we update the front page to explain how the ignore button will whitelist a registered user but not an IP (if that is indeed always the case)? I was hoping this was the behavior but had to poke around in the discussion to verify. (I would update it myself, but my understanding could be off, and it seems arrogant to just up and change it myself.) BTW Huggle freakin rocks! --JaGa (talk) 21:24, 8 June 2008 (UTC)


 * IP addresses are ignored for the session but are not added to the whitelist when the application exits. Updated the documentation to clarify this -- Gurch (talk) 10:08, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Mac
Any chance of a Mac OS X version of this magnificent application? I'd be very appreciate if someone could adapt an OS X version... -- Anonymous Dissident  Talk 05:13, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Its has the same limitations to that of AWB - the .NET Framework. However, for AWB people have managed to get it work with WINE/mono/something on the mac.. Cant remember who, but i know its been done. —  Ree dy  09:53, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah but with mono you need to recompile on the platform you want use it on don't you? and we don't have the source(see above) -- Chris  09:59, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Nope... Mono is just a linux/unix port/version of the .NET framework... —  Ree dy  13:24, 3 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Huggle on Mac

Does anyone have detailed steps on how to use Huggle on a PowerPC (not the newer Intel ones!) Mac using Mac OS X 10.4? E.g. maybe how to set it up using WINE or something? Atyndall93 |  talk  10:18, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Supposedly a virtual PC (vmware or similar) can be used... But a lot slower... Like AWB, it will be good when mono is fully implemented for *nix. —  Ree dy  11:00, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Awww :-(, I wish the source was available for porting. Atyndall93  |  talk  23:30, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Speaking of which, Gurch has released the source? Atyndall93  |  talk  11:35, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * WINE cannot run .NET applications; Huggle can be made to work under Mono, but as System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser is not yet implemented by Mono viewing diffs does not work, making the whole thing rather useless --Gurchzilla (talk) 23:00, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * On Mono, I can get up to the "Please read carefully..." screen. When I click on "Continue", it crashes. :( LegoKontribsTalkM 02:19, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes. I could release a version of Huggle that doesn't crash on Mono, but as I said above, you wouldn't be able to view diffs with it, making it rather pointless -- Gurch (talk) 02:16, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Feature request: multiple diffs
I know I shouldn't really be asking for features, but this (in my opinion) would be fantastic... the ability to click & drag on the page history meter in the top right corner to show multiple diffs at once. Thanks <span style="font-size:90%;font-family:Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;">&mdash; Alex . Muller 17:05, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Do you mean a diff of multiple edits? (Showing several diffs at once would be difficult). Also note that you can right-click on a revision in the history display to compare it to the current revision Gurch (talk) 00:50, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Exactly, a diff of multiple edits - sorry, that wasn't clear. And actually, I had no idea about right-clicking on a revision, this makes me incredibly happy :D <span style="font-size:90%;font-family:Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;">&mdash; Alex . Muller 10:05, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Displaying standard page history
I'd like to see a way to get something much like the standard page history displayed, where I can see who made the recent revisions and when they were made. I guess I'm not as comfortable as I should be with the current interface for choosing revisions, but in any complex case I find myself opening the article in a browser, examining the history page, and then reverting manually to the chosen version. A button to display the history (like the button to display the current page) would be sufficient, except that I would want to be able to use the radio buttons in the displayed window to select a diff to view. Loren.wilton (talk) 04:14, 1 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Hovering over a revision in the history display shows the date/time and summary. The colour of the revision icon generally indicates where best to revert to (except for page blankings and the like, trusted users are blue, anonymous users are brown, other users are grey). I can make it say the user name too if that is useful. I find generally when comparing revisions in the history one either wishes to compare two successive revisions (which can be done by left-clicking in the history display) or to compare an old revision with the current one (which can be done by right-clicking) Gurch (talk) 04:40, 1 May 2008 (UTC)


 * The next version will have a menu option to view the standard page history. Comparing versions doesn't currently work, however -- Gurch (talk) 17:18, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Keyboard shortcuts stop working
Keyboard shortcuts, such as Q and spacebar stop working if you click in the viewing diff area. You can only continue by clicking..  Majorly  (talk) 22:40, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I've noticed this too. As a temporary solution, you can get them to start working again by clicking on one of the entries in the little log at the bottom of the screen, which switches the focus back to the Huggle main program instead of the browser window.-- Dycedarg  &#x0436;  23:10, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Dont click on one of the entries. Click on one of the blank boxes to the right of where the logs appear. This way nothing pop up.  ·Add§hore·  <sup style="color:blue;">T alk /<sub style="color:blue;">C ont 12:47, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

"OOPS" button
I think it would be helpful to have an "OOPS" button that you use when you accidentally revert something legit. It should revert your own edit and the warning you give. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 00:16, 13 May 2008 (UTC)


 * That's what the "undo" button is for --Gurchzilla (talk) 02:43, 13 May 2008 (UTC)


 * The Undo button is what I use, but it'd be nice to have a mechanism that'd give edit summaries of "reverting own mistaken edits - sorry!" or something along those lines, also to revert both the reversion and the warning together, if such a thing were possible. This isn't necessary, but would be useful in those stressed moments when I've just done something really stupid ;)
 * Also there's often queued edits, and an Oops button that would either remove them from the queue or revert them when they happen would be easier than sitting waiting for the edits to get made and then reverting them subsequently from the drop-down menu. Pseudomonas(talk) 08:26, 13 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Any OOPS button with a mechanism that sends out an apology would be useful. There have been at least a half-dozen times when I've clicked something and then realized that I've reverted something legit (or that was recently reverted by somebody else using Huggle who beat me to the vandalism by 0.000000534 seconds). --19:39, 18 May 2008 (UTC)


 * In the next version I've added a button that cancels any edits that are in progress, and reverts edits that have already been submitted but the request hasn't completed. You can also use Escape as a shortcut key. For edits where the request has already completed you can use the Undo button as before -- Gurchzilla (talk) 11:04, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I second the request for an optional "enhanced" undo functionality that will also apologize. It may seem trivial, but a bad warning may have already been read by the user. I'd rather own and apologize for my mistakes than simply hoping they went unnoticed. Jclemens (talk) 02:25, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * A "Whoops" button would indeed be helpful. An automated apology can save tons of time explaining yourself when you make a mistake. Cheers, Perfect Proposal  <sup style="color:orange;">Speak Out!  18:48, 22 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm not convinced that automating the process of apologizing for inappropriate automated edits is a particularly good idea. If it happens so often that the apology process needs to be automated, something is wrong -- Gurchzilla (talk) 17:34, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Undo new user talk page
When an admin uses Huggle, he/she should be offered the option of deleting a newly created user talk page, rather than tagging it for speedy deletion. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 23:20, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Is this with the "undo" button? I thought I'd made that simply blank newly created user talk pages rather than tagging them for deletion (as requested previously). Perhaps I did it wrongly -- Gurchzilla (talk) 00:42, 19 May 2008 (UTC)


 * The next version will prompt administrators to delete a page in cases where they would otherwisebe prompted to tag it for speedy deletion -- Gurchzilla (talk) 11:10, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Error Reporting
The latest version, 0.7.6 (from today) gave me a "standard" Microsoft error report when it just crashed — to Gurch, I guess: do you get the contents of these, or do they go to Microsoft? <span style="font-family:Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;"> Alex . Muller  23:42, 18 May 2008 (UTC)


 * They go to Microsoft, though there's really no point sending them at all, as they're not going to do anything with it. I have no control over the error report dialog in such cases (something has gone more badly wrong than just an uncaught exception), though if you can remember what you were doing at the time it might help me track down and fix it. Thanks -- Gurchzilla (talk) 00:40, 19 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't remember that one, but I'll make sure the contents of the next one go to you as well. Cheers, <span style="font-family:Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;"> Alex  Muller   18:44, 19 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Same happened to me when I used it for a few minutes yesterday. It's not going to help, really, but it crashed when I hit Q during a revert on Eric Gagne. I had a few other programs open, but Huggle doesn't often crash for me.  Enigma  message 19:17, 19 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I've had this happen a few times (on earlier versions) and it almost always seemed to be related to an excessively large page, sometimes after running for a long period of time. I'm guessing that a new or malloc failed for allocating page space, as I was actually tight on memory at the time of the failure. Loren.wilton (talk) 22:25, 21 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Large diffs can cause the application to freeze for a few seconds – as they do with a web browser – though actually crashing is odd -- Gurchzilla (talk) 00:27, 22 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I haven't had this happen recently, but when it did "several seconds" was more like 30 seconds or maybe more. Solid processor bound.  In at least one cese it was a valdal creating megabyte pages to deliberately crash browsers.  Seemed to work. Loren.wilton (talk) 09:57, 24 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Edits with change sizes larger than 100,000 bytes are not added to the queue (on the assumption that they're bound to be noticed by someone else) to try to prevent this sort of thing. However, it is possible to view such edits by browing through the page history or user's contributions -- Gurch (talk) 15:56, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

User Informationg Bug?
Hi Gurch,

Found a wee bug in Huggle 0.7.6 with user information. If you open the user info on an user (as I did on an IP that was adding spam links) and then close it, when you re-open the user info, it doesn't update.

I left two warnings and then checked user info, which showed them both. I then ended up leaving two further warnings but these do not show up when I now load the user info. Furhter edits made by this user also don't show up in the edit count and so I am led to believe that Huggle is not refreshing the information correctly.

Cheers, Astral (talk) 08:40, 20 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Just an idea for a temporary remedy would be to open a new tab with one of the edits that that user made and then use the color-coded edits list located at the top-right of the screen to see if he's made any further edits. As far as I know, that feature is working with no problems. Thingg <sup style="color:#33ff00;">&#8853; <sup style="color:#ff0033;">&#8855;  13:43, 20 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Haven't been able to reproduce this yet. Has it happened again since then? -- Gurch (talk) 00:57, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

New save config button
Maybe we could have a save config button in the config menu so that we can save it when we push it and dont have to wait until we exit for it to save.

Some problems with the translation into Spanish wikipedia...
There are some phrases that are not translated into spanish, here is an example, the summary would be "Aviso: Article " and the month is neither in spanish. Alvaro qc (talk) 01:23, 25 May 2008 (UTC)


 * These are both fixed in the next version -- Gurchzilla (talk) 01:44, 27 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Hello, are you working in translating the program into the Spanish language now that can be used in w:es?, I might be one of several volunteers ready to translate, regards --Oscar (talk) 04:56, 25 May 2008 (UTC)


 * At the moment I'm not translating the interface, only the text of warning messages, edit summaries and so forth. Making the interface translatable is a possibility but would take some time -- Gurchzilla (talk) 11:01, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I can help tpp with the translation. It is a great tool! --Lucien leGrey (talk) 13:56, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * There are some Spanish templates here. they can probably be reworded or be used as a guide. Antonio Lopez  (talk) 16:32, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Unexpected close of Huggle
Sometimes, when I have about 4 or 5 reversions on hold and they are coming in (for the times that I get several pieces of vandalism back to back), I get the message that Huggle has encountered a fatal internal error and needs to close. Do you know of any way to fix this?

Configuration changes lost on bgwiki
Hi. The  value is ignored by huggle 0.7.7 on bgwiki. I changed it manually in the central /Config, my huggle.css, and via huggle itself. When huggle is started next, the templates listbox is empty. Same for other settings like,   and the uw-messages etc. --Петър Петров (talk) 11:37, 27 May 2008 (UTC)


 * The issue with  is fixed in the next version, not sure about the others -- Gurch (talk) 16:05, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

User versions in list
I don't know if people will like this but I think it is a good idea. on Huggle/Users you could automaticly add the version of huggle that they are using to the list of the version that they last used.

Fatal Error on loss of connection
When you've lost your connection during a huggle session, it works fine (just can't load data), but when it tries to edit pages (like whitelist, your config subpage, etc.) after exit, it encounters one of those generic Microsoft errors... not too high priority, as most people have pretty reliable internet (unlike me)... but yeah.

AIV bug?

Huggle Buggle
After being told to revert a page that has only one contributor, Huggle (0.7.9) tells me that and asks whether to tag the page for speedy deletion. Great. But when I click yes, Huggle crashes and I get one of those "Huggle has encountered a problem and needs to close..." error reporting messages. When I click on "What data does this error report contain?", under "Error Signature", it says:

(snipped ArgumentNullException)

When I click on "What data does this error report contain?" from that window I get more (a lot more), which I can't copy and paste. I'm running Windows XP SP3 with all .NET updates. -- BlastOButter42 <sup style="color:#EE7600;">See  Hear  <sub style="color:#FFB90A;">Speak  03:38, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Another three suggestions
Given the volume of "unexplained blanking" reversions, would it be possible to add a single-keystroke revert-and-uw-delete1 (2,3,4) alongside the current revert-and-uw-vand1? As you (Gurch) know, I've been monitoring Huggle usage & testing it recently, and people being given vandalism warnings for removal of content (which can have some perfectly legitimate reasons which aren't obvious in the diff box, in the case of BLP violations and duplicated sectons) seems to be an issue that comes up repeatedly.

Also, I personally think it would be a good idea to set "watchlist:warnings" as the default setting; the new users you're dealing with here won't necessarily understand the "reply on my talkpage" etiquette, and are likely to post any "why this edit wasn't vandalism" explanations underneath the warnings on their own talkpage. Just a thought...

And finally, is there any way to set anonblock as the default block message, at least when warning IPs? —  iride  scent  15:55, 2 June 2008 (UTC)


 * In the next version, anonblock will appear as the default block reason whenever the user's talk page is tagged as being a shared or dynamic IP address. The documentation for that template states that it shouldn't be used as the block message except for blocks longer than three months, so the default will remain the standard block message -- Gurch (talk) 17:23, 2 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm aware of the problems with good-faith edits sometimes recieving level 1 vandalism warnings, hence the default level 1 warning avoids all mention of 'vandalism' and only states that the edit "appears to be unconstructive" (which it presumably does, at least in the eye of the reverter).


 * One problem with keyboard shortcuts to revert-and-warn for other reasons is that I'm starting to run out of keyboard shortcuts; given the way features have been added over time it would be more logical to start over and reassign everything from scratch, but that would confuse people no end. I'm considering adding shortcuts similar to the existing shortcuts for leaving warnings but with 'Control' included, so for example Ctrl + Shift + D for removal of content, Ctrl + Shift + S for spam, but I'm not convinced Ctrl + Shift + D is that much faster than R followed by Shift + D (the quickest way to currently do this). I could use Ctrl + D, Ctrl + S and so forth instead, but that would mean reassigning some of the existing shortcuts, and people might end up reverting and leaving warnings when they meant to nominate a page for deletion. I can't use Alt as that interferes with the menu shortcuts (which are useful since there are some actions that only have menu items). I haven't used the number keys nor any of the function keys except F1 yet, but I feel they could be difficult to remember, especially for something like reverting and warning -- Gurch (talk) 17:40, 2 June 2008 (UTC)


 * My fault - hadn't actually realised the R, shift-D combination. If/when you do run out of keystrokes, you could always have a double set of controls, with a "use old controls/use new controls" check bo, in the same way that MS Word has (or at least had, I don't know if it still does) a "use WordPerfect keyboard shortcuts" checkbox.


 * Can't you just remove the keyboard shortcuts for all but the ones that take speed (revert→warn, SD tagging, reporting, etc.)? I don't see a point in having a keyboard shortcut for everything. Calvin 1998 (t-c) 22:52, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Well you would think so, but then just four sections above this one someone asked for a shortcut for clearing the queue... something I've never even done myself except to test it. I have to try to please everyone, and there would be complaints if some things that have shortcuts had them removed altogether -- Gurch (talk) 00:11, 3 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Another option that wouldn't be that complicated or difficult to implement would be to allow customization of the shortcuts by the user. Thingg <sup style="color:#33ff00;">&#8853; <sup style="color:#ff0033;">&#8855;  00:06, 3 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Actually it would be quite complicated. I'd have to design a GUI for it, figure out how to store it in configuration, and so forth. But I can try if you really want it -- Gurch (talk) 00:11, 3 June 2008 (UTC)


 * The next version will allow keyboard shortcuts to be customized -- Gurch (talk) 02:22, 5 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Defaulting to watchlisting warnings is a possibility, though I know some people try to keep their watchlists tidy and might be a little annoyed to discover they'd inadvertently added several hundred user talk pages to it -- Gurch (talk) 01:04, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Queue sources
If it would take more than ten minutes to code then ignore this question, but would there be any way to set the Huggle shell to work on something other than recent changes? It would be really useful to be able to import a list of articles and rapidly go through the most recent diff on each - for example, the contribution history of a school IP that's made a lot of vandal edits but also some valid ones so they can't all be bulk-reverted, to be able to go through Category:Living people looking for abuse, to go through a "mini watchlist" of frequently vandalised articles, etc. It would also be a really good tool for rapidly reviewing an account's contributions for vandalism cases, RFAs etc (and making it something that's undoubtedly useful from an admin/crat point of view, would presumably defuse a lot of the distaste for it you see among some admins). The code for generating the text-file lists of articles using assorted criteria already exists in AWB, so that could be used to generate the lists and all that would be needed at the Huggle end would be a facility to turn off the recent changes feed and instead create a queue out of the text file. —  iride  scent


 * This is implemented in a basic form in the next version -- Gurch (talk) 02:20, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

CSD can end up warning yourself
If you try to CSD something that's been deleted, I think it causes you to warn yourself about it. Not entirely sure if that's the exact cause but I've somehow managed to do it twice to myself. Thanks for all the work you do about this. --Tombomp (talk) 19:02, 2 June 2008 (UTC)


 * It should simply not do anything if the page does not exist. I'll see if I can reproduce this -- Gurch (talk) 01:05, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Two things
When clicking "Show previous revision to this page" after reverting, for example if I wanted to double-check that I didn't make a mistake, Huggle seems to always go back 2 revisions. For example, just now I did a revert on Performance-enhancing drugs: I made this reversion and then pressed Z, and instead of taking me one back, to this, which is what I wanted to see, it goes back to this.

Also, when I click on the viewing window, I know the keyboard shortcuts stop working, but when I click back up on the menu bar or on one of the buttons, they still don't work. I have to minimize and restore to be able to use them again. Not critical or anything, but a little annoying. This is Windows XP SP3 with all .NET updates. -- BlastOButter42 <sup style="color:#EE7600;">See  Hear  <sub style="color:#FFB90A;">Speak  01:39, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The keyboard shortcuts thing, a nice way to fix it is to create a new tab and then immediately close it. Resizing the log at the bottom works too. And I have the 2 revisions problem as well, I think it's on purpose for some reason... Calvin 1998 (t-c) 01:42, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Erroneous block message
On several occasions today while using Huggle a message box has popped up saying that I have been blocked from editing. This is clearly an erroneous message, because I have not been blocked - is this a known issue? – ukexpat (talk) 15:41, 3 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Odd. This should only occur if you've been blocked (either blocked directly, or IP blocked, or autoblocked). Was there anything in particular that seemed to cause the message to appear? -- Gurch (talk) 00:55, 6 June 2008 (UTC)


 * No nothing in particular and it hasn't happened the past couple of days. – ukexpat (talk) 15:27, 6 June 2008 (UTC)


 * This should be fixed in the next version -- Gurch (talk) 10:17, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Occasionally, (but never using huggle) an edit will fail with some message about "session data". Also, occasionally, you get a message about the database being locked. How does huggle handle such cases. Is it possible it assumes you're blocked when the edit fails for any reason? --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:45, 9 June 2008 (UTC)


 * As there was no way to uniquely identify the block messages, it was presumably also appearing for database locks; I've had the block message changed. Loss of session data should be handled by logging back in; Huggle will retry up to 3 times on errors it doesn't specifically handle in some other way, after which it should leave an error message in the log; for some types of error (such as reverts that fail because someone else got there first) it just fails silently, as that is very common -- Gurch (talk) 10:25, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Adding Templates

Click on OK to terminate the application." Anybody know why this is and what I can do to make it run?

IP's in the whitelist
Have you disabled putting IP addresses on the whitelist? The first time I attempted it, I got a "huggle.exe stopped working" generic Microsoft error window, then the next 3 times I tried, huggle takes like 20 seconds, quits correctly, but ends up not making an edit (by the way, the IP I was attempting to place on the whitelist was 68.39.174.238). I think the page is getting too big, it's 228 KB now, according to it's page history. Calvin 1998 (t-c) 23:20, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I can't say enough how much I oppose whitelisting IPs. Whoever's using it now might be the best editor on the planet, but that bears no relationship to who it's assigned to next week. If it were down to me, I'd periodically delete the whitelist altogether and let it build up again, as a way to clear out whoever's found their way onto it but doesn't deserve to be there. —  iride  scent  23:23, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 68.39.174.238 is trustworthy, he/she has over 15,000 contribs and was nominated for adminship... but other than this one, I don't really think there are any IP's that should be on it, so yeah, I rest my case. If adding IP's really is disabled, that is. Calvin 1998 (t-c) 23:30, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes. IP addresses can be ignored, which will take effect until you restart Huggle, but they cannot be added to the whiltelist. Though it shouldn't be crashing attempting to add them. The whitelist is rather slow to load when viewed through a web browser, and slow to edit, though retrieving it in text-only form (as Huggle does when starting up) doesn't take too long. If you want to clear the whitelist, feel free to do so, though doing so may irritate other Huggle users for a while -- Gurch (talk) 23:58, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Suggestion
I would really like it if there was an option to "dump" the remembered "custom edit summaries" to an external file or at least some.

Note that it links to "ttile=User_talk" instead of "title=User_talk". A small thing to fix in the next update. Cheers for a great program. James086 Talk &#124; Email 08:26, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

A thought re summaries
It might be better to have the summary read WP:HG instead of the current (huggle). If I didn't know what it meant, and I saw "blocked (huggle)" as the last edit to my page, I'd assume it was the blocking admin being sarcastic.

I clicked the quit button, and now it has crashed.  Stwalkerster  [  sock:talk  ]  15:23, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Edit summary problems
The current version doesn't allow me to choose from one of the summaries referring to unexplained removal of content etc. The summary always remains the usual "Reverted edits by ... to last version by ...". Has this anything to do with my configuration (page)? (see User:Catgut/huggle.css) And how can I change that? Thanks for helping me (obviously I need something like Huggle for dummies, so please don't hesitate to tell me exactly what to do...). --Catgut (talk) 00:44, 9 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Hello, probably just doing something stupid here but I can't get Huggle to use another revert edit summary. When I click on the arrow next to the revert button and select, say, "Unexplained removal of content" the edit summary is identical to the normal revert, "Reverted edits by ..... to last version by ..... using huggle". How do I get it to include the "unexplained removal" bit? Also Huggle kept flagging LamaLoLeshLa as a level 3 warned user, even though they have no warnings on their talk page (apart from a mistaken one from over a month ago). As I said it is probably just me not being very intelligent so your help is double appreciated. Ta, A v nj a y Talk 16:45, 14 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I had this problem too, however if you choose to warn the user for removal of content it will leave the correct message, thankfully. —— Ryan   |   t   •   c   09:15, 15 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh, great, finally some feedback! Yeah, the warning does work... But RyanLupin, you're writing "I had this problem too...", so do you mean that you managed to fix it somehow? --Catgut (talk) 00:15, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * No I was speaking in the past tense because I no longer use the revert drop down menu to select a type of revert as it has no effect. —— Ryan   |   t   •   c   06:49, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

"unable to connect"
Get "unable to connect" error when trying to login using 710. I'm accessing the internet through a proxy server. Is there any way to resolve this? --Kbdank71 14:32, 9 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't think so. I tried to add support for proxy servers to Huggle but I couldn't get it to work -- Gurch (talk) 15:41, 10 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Works fine for me through a firewall. My browsers are setup to use an autoconfig script - not sure if that makes a difference. – ukexpat (talk) 17:29, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

An idea, small thing
Sometimes, in the morning, there is literally nothing going on, and you actually have, after spamming the spacebar, an empty list. Now, in this situation you have to wait a few seconds for the list to fill up with new entries. (a few seconds is not a long waiting time, but i'd imagine it's a lot more than 3-4 seconds on other, smaller wikimedia projects). Wouldn't it enhance the usability, if pressing space in that situtation would make sure the next diff is loaded as soon as it pops up in the list? Just an idea. :-) ~ | twsx | talkcont | ~ 10:23, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I personally think that this might be a nice idea.  ·Add§hore·  <sup style="color:blue;">T alk /<sub style="color:blue;">C ont 06:52, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Old bug seems to have resurfaced
The "reverts and warns whitelisted users" bug seems to have reappeared - see,. Or is it something specific to User:Gail, as both incorrect-reverts were reverting correct revisions by her? – iride  scent  21:26, 17 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Gurch ignore me - Gail isn't on the whitelist. Will leave this post here though, so anyone coming to report the same thing will see it. – iride  scent  21:27, 17 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Although, WTF is a two week old account doing with Huggle access? – iride  scent  21:31, 17 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, what was a one week old account doing with rollback? Would a minimum account age limit be useful? -- Gurch (talk) 22:17, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Replied in greater depth at my talkpage but no, I don't think a minimum account age would be useful; this user's pretty obviously telling the truth about being a new account of someone who previously edited under another name. Whoever granted rollback trusted her; there's no point bureaucratizing yet another process or making a de facto WP:RFHG process. – iride  scent  22:29, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Edit Summaries (using Huggle)
Would it be possible to make using this optional? It annoys the crap out of me, and I know the edit summaries on Twinkle and Friendly can be configured to be blank.  s an a wo n   02:50, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Why would you want them blank? In my opinoin, edit summaries are really important. However, there is an option in Huggle to edit the edit summary, press Y and type in what you want. —— Ryan   |   t   •   c   10:00, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Total oppose, per this conversation. – iride  scent  18:59, 18 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I appreciate that this is annoying for some users. However, it will not be changed, for reasons that Iridescent and other users that requested this change have put forward. Gurch (talk) 21:16, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Eh?
Huggle is disabled for all users and Gurch has blanked his talk page? Huh? —— Ryan   |   t   •   c   10:25, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I've enabled it, but I don't know why gurch disabled it in the first place. Atyndall93 | talk 10:46, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
