 * What browser and version are you using, and have you made sure you use the latest version of AzaToth and not have one of the alternatives installed ? Also, can you pull up the "Error console" or whatever your browser has and check if you see any errors/glitches ? Also be sure to check popup blockers, and perhaps your firewall.

Protection's working better than before, but not great yet. Selecting any type of protection will add the report to the RPP page, but it will never actually place any of the options (such as noinclude tags, or small=yes). Before the report, it will usually list "Unprotection" as part of the reason. And it doesn't check to see whether a report for that page is already on RPP. GrooveDog (talk) (Review) 14:05, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

There seems to be something slightly off about the way Twinkle is checking revisions. Specifically, it will sometime think that a user has made two revisions, when they have only made one and another user has just made a revision. See

this diff and compare with the page history. I've encountered this about 3 times since the update, that I can remember. Gscshoyru 15:15, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I got the same problem reverting 58.152.136.67 on Passive smoking. TW only reverted 1 edit . Carlosguitar 19:43, 14 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Um... that's actually the exact opposite of my problem. And is normal behavior, I think -- the same user made a revert after revisions were checked, and there's nothing (I think) that can be done about that. My problem is that a different user makes a revert during revisions check, and gets marked as being the first user, somehow, and twinkle continues reverting when it should stop. Gscshoyru 19:49, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Do you get any notices when you revert about miss-match of revision. → Aza Toth 21:44, 22 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Sometimes, but not during these reverts. This is happening somewhat often, by the way, though they usually have no effect -- usually when I try to revert some blanking, and ClueBot gets to them at just the right time, the popup will say "this user has made two reversions, are you sure you want to revert?" And I revert anyway and look at the page history, the user has made just one and cluebot has also made one, and I've made none as my version is the same as clue bot's. There's something a little odd about the order things are checked, I think. Gscshoyru 21:52, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Twinkle breaks things when deleting images that are in comments. See, for example,. Probably the best solution is for Twinkle to just ignore pages like that, since ImageRemovalBot can deal with this correctly. '' Carnildo 19:15, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

When reverting vandalism, the warning that someone else already reverted doesn't come up, and the reversion form goes on unaffected. J- ſtan TalkContribs 22:20, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Note, it seems to be slowing down. I don't know whether this is due to less people are reverting, or whether it's fixing itself. I think the multiple revert warning came up once, but that was after the window was open for a while, so maybe it's a server problem, and it takes longer for the server to register with twinkle that the edit has already been taken care of.

When pressing the "since" tab when viewing a diff, it does NOT show the diff between the current revision and the latest revision by an editor other than the current one, as it should.

 * I can't seem to dupicate this, do you still have the problem?, what version of firefox are you using? Oysterguitarist 05:19, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I have just tested on my WinXP machine, and the problem is certainly still present there. Cannot test on Vista for a few days. I am using version 2.0.0.12. Should be the latest version, and this problem has persisted through at least one Firefox update. Perhaps it is related to use of the localized Danish version of Firefox, which is what I use? Can you replicate on that? You can find that for testing here.
 * At what page do you start when you hit the button? Perhaps it gives different results in different situations. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 10:25, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The tab never shows up unless I'm already in a diff view. When I'm viewing a regular article (or user page, talk page, or whatever), only the "last" tab is showing. When I'm in a diff view, I also get the "since" and "since mine". The "since mine" works fine, but the "since" does not - it always produces the same result as "last", except that I do get some green text first saying "Action completed". I have tested this right now on pages like Bodil Udsen and User:Lilac Soul on which I currently have the most recent edits (more than 1). I have also tested on pages such as Governor Thomas Johnson High School on which, when I tested, one editor had the two most recent edits, but pressing the "since" tab again only showed the diff between the two latest edits, not the diff between the current revision and the last revision not made by the most recent editor (which is what it should). So it appears to happen independently of whom the most recent editor is, and independent of namespace. - Lilac Soul (talk • contribs • count) • I'm watching this page so just reply to me right here! 11:42, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * More: I have also tested this in Firefox "safe mode", so it isn't caused by extensions or any such thing. Furthermore, while I do have several other userscripts in my monobook.js file, this isn't the cause of the problem, as I only had Twinkle in my monobook when I first reported this bug. - Lilac Soul (talk • contribs • count) • I'm watching this page so just reply to me right here! 11:46, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Simple bug. When nominating an image (untested with other namespaces) for speedy deletion, I automatically "warn" myself if I'm the uploader. This does not seem right. User:Krator (t c) 00:03, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * This should be easy to fix since twinkle warns you if you try to report your self using the ARV button, the code might look like this:

On Safari, after rollbacking, warning, restoring, etc., it completely clears the page, except for the background. I have to restart the page every time to get it to work. Soxred93 has a boring sig 14:38, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, this is indeed a known issue. It is a bug in the caching of the WebCore framework, but the Safari developers do not really have an explanation for it. I do not have the technical skills to figure out the cause myself, nor to even create a reduced testcase... I'll see if I can ask some webkit folks to look at it again. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 13:02, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Workaround for this problem: enable Safari's Debugmenu. Restart Safari, select from the Debug menu: "Show Caches window". In this new window select "Disable WebCore caches". (you will need to set this option each time Safari is restarted [[Image:Face-sad.svg|25px]] ) --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 13:57, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I have absolutely NO explanation for it, and neither have the webkit developers, but this change makes the whole problem disappear for me. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 15:02, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I've double-checked TheDJ's z-index thing, but I can't make it work with Safari 3.1.1.
 * I also tried the work around he noted, but Safari 3.1.1 doesn't use the debug menu - it has a developer menu instead, and the 'disable caches' option on the developer menu has no effect.
 * very frustrating... -- Ludwigs 2 22:05, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * For reference, I also see this symptom in latest release Safari; but I also get an “undefined value” error in my console, referring to twinklefluff.js on line 532. Since that line appears to be some kind of check for whether the user warning window/tab/dialog can be opened, or possibly of whether opening it succeeded, this looks like it could be relevant to the problem at hand.
 * Checking the DOM inspector doesn't really yield a lot of info, but seems to reflect what is actually displayed in the webview; the Twinkle progress log up until the line “Info: Open user talk page for user Foo” and nothing further (except Wikipedia chroma and such; the page is technically complete, just devoid of further content).
 * I haven't actually tested this with various settings (window/tab/dialog) for the user warning, but IIRC I saw the same or similar JS error in the console with all settings. But either way this doesn't exactly scream “WebCore Caching issue” to me. --Xover (talk) 16:04, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

On Safari, on the "arv" button, I select the type, but it does nothing. I have tried this on Firefox, on the other hand, and it works flawlessly. Soxred93 has a boring sig 14:38, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I find this strange, i remember using ARV not too long ago and it worked. What exactly is the problem? Does it not even produce a CSS floating window? Can you describe the exact usecase in which your problem occurs in a bit more detail? Is it always after you used Twinkle to revert vandalism or something for instance? --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 13:53, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Every time I click Rollback, all I see is the backgrond (no tabs, body, logo, anything). It does revert the edit, but I have to reload to get it all back. On ARV, I see the CSS floating window, but when I click an option, it does nothing at all. Soxπed Ninety Three  16:18, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * There is a button at the bottom that says Submit Query, you have to press that to submit it, because it's not like the CSD button where you click it and it submits. Oysterguitarist 20:09, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

I can confirm the issue. I'll try to debug, but i have to be careful, since i don't want to get anyone blocked of course :D --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 21:25, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Weird. This is the same bug ( failing getChecked function ), that I found back in July 2007. I reported that Safari bug at that time, and I'm quite sure it has worked at some point this last year. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 22:16, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * This is not exactly the same issue. The error message differs and i'm having trouble pinpointing it exactly to a function or paramater. It almost seems as if getChecked is defined multiple times at different places... Also, Bug 95 is a dupe of this issue. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 19:02, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Hehe, whoops; getChecked IS defined multiple times. I had the plan to move it to morebits, but really never got to it. → Aza Toth 19:04, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I get this warning in my JS log: . Thought not critical, it is annoying. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 13:45, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * This is caused by a temporal issue due to the async loading of the scripts added by twinkle.js and the fact that monobook.js is required for the other twinkle*.js The way to fix this is by validating wether monobook.js has been parsed and only then start loading the other javascripts. Example diff. This is not a Safari bug, this is expected behaviour of such javascripts and an issue that might one day surface in other browsers when they start to parallelize more of their JS/DOM processing code. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 15:45, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Image unlink suddenly not working (hangs on 50%). Replicated on two machines, both Firefox 2. GDonato (talk) 16:56, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Same here whether using the "csd" tab in "delete" mode or "unlink" (my version is Firefox 2.0.0.11). Needless to say, it makes tackling the 4,000+ backlog in Category:Disputed non-free images less appealing! BencherliteTalk 09:54, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Same here with Opera both versions 9.25 and the 9.5 beta. Using the CSD menu the images are deleted alright, but the unlinking isn't happening. No script errors show up in the console, so I guess maybe it's a tiny mismatch in the generated regex or some such. --Sherool (talk) 22:48, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Unlinking seems to work again now, at least using Opera, though the indicator still stop at "Unlinking instances image: 50%" in the popup, but that's just a display thing. --Sherool (talk) 09:25, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yea, me or east must look into that 50% thingi :) → Aza Toth 10:25, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
