When using unlink to remove backlinks to the article Sunset Boulevard (2008 film), which was deleted in accordance with the notability guidelines for future films, it appears to have chopped out half the article content from one of the linked articles, as seen here.

When delinking images after deletion, doesn't always comment out the image breaking templates. For example, this diff commented out the image but broke the template. It shouldn't have commented out at the |Image= which may have not broken the template. MECU ≈ talk 18:40, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

When applying a CSD template for an image, the template used on the image page itself links to the correct talk page, as indicated. But the notice applied on the user's talk page is incorrect, as indicated here.  Seicer  (talk) (contribs) 00:31, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * This is due to the template Db-imgcopyvio-notice that uses db-notice. This db-notice template was not really ever designed to work outside articlespace it seems, which is now causing problems. It seems that most CfD and IfD warnings share this issue. So it is not really a problem in Twinkle, but it is something that needs to be fixed. I'm trying to think of a way to rewrite a parameter to it's talkpage variant, but I cannot think of any. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 13:43, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
 * AzaToth, Random832 added both a "namespace", and a "targettalk" paramater to db-notice so that this issue can be solved. Its up to you to call which of those you prefer to use. The templates that use db-notice still need to forward those paramaters (but they are protected so I cannot help there). --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 20:39, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I think it's still under discussion as to which of the parameters should be used, and that needs to be decided before this is rolled out across the whole family of templated. your input would be helpful, since these parameters are much more likely, I think, to be used in semi-automated reporting. —Random832 14:47, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

When using AFD for Rabio Lepus twinkle loaded everything correctly, and created the AfD page at the right name, however for some reason the link of the AfD tag on the article is redlinked?

 * This is a pretty bad bug. Let me see if I can find it in code. — OranL (talk) 23:44, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It looks like it happens in the function  located in User:AzaToth/twinklespeedy.js. Every case has statements like the following:

In the popup for CSD's, one of the options is "G3: Pagemove", which suggests it could be used for cleaning up moved pages or old redirects.

I just used Twinkle to report User:Nichole:DD as a suspected sock puppeteer. The colon in the user name caused TW to create the report for User:DD instead. I have fixed the reports and user page notices etc, so no lasting problems. Not sure how often user names contain a colon so this may not be an urgent problem.

It seems that the unlinking backlink function is not working. I click the backlink button and all works fine. When I actually click "Submit query", all of the chosen backlinked article appear. Suddenly, they all turn green saying "Ignoring eventual redirect". Then they disappear a couple at a time. After they all disappear, then it is only one blue line that says "Unlinking image instances", followed by a percentage such as 4% or 6%. No matter how long I wait, the blue window stays up with that same line and the percentage does not change. If I close the box and check my contributions, nothing was done.

When rollback vandal is used after User:SineBot has signed a vandal edit, TW opens SineBot's user talk page and leaves an edit summary stating that it has reverted vandalism by SineBot.

I can't figure out why, but this thing reverted me and said "Period goes b4 cite."

Twinkle doesn't seem to be compatible with Firefox 3. While using it warning a user or reporting to AIV, the error "Could not read editform" or the like is given, however I think this is a compatibility issue because it only occurs in the new Firefox 3 (or it may be a FF bug).

When using the "deli" tab (Batch image deletion from a category), the script will only delete everything if the number of files selected is evenly divisible by four. Otherwise, it deletes the remainder of that same division and stops. (So, in a category of 41 images, the script will delete only one file (the first one) and leave the rest; to delete those, I have to refresh the page and re-start the script, whereupon it works as intended).

Twinkle continues to add warned user's talk pages and userpages to watchlist even after configuration has been changed. The relevant part of my monobook.js file is as follows: importScript('User:AzaToth/twinkle.js'); TwinkleConfig = { revertMaxRevisions             :       50, userTalkPageMode               :       'tab', showSharedIPNotice             :       false, openTalkPage                   :       [ 'agf', 'norm', 'vand' ], openTalkPageOnAutoRevert       :       false, summaryAd                      :       " using TW", deletionSummaryAd              :       " using TW", protectionSummaryAd            :       " using TW", watchSpeedyPages               :       [ ], watchProdPages                 :       false, openUserTalkPageOnSpeedyDelete :       [ 'g1', 'g2', 'g10', 'g11', 'g12', 'a1', 'a7', 'i3', 'i4', 'i5', 'i6', 'i7', 'u3', 't1' ], watchRevertedPages             :       [ ], markRevertedPagesAsMinor       :       [ 'agf', 'norm', 'vand', 'torev' ], deleteTalkPageOnDelete         :       false, watchWarnings                  :       false, markAIVReportAsMinor           :       true, markSpeedyPagesAsMinor         :       true, offerReasonOnNormalRevert      :       true, orphanBacklinksOnSpeedyDelete  :       {orphan:true, exclude:['g6']} }; So watchWarnings is set to false, and in the Twinkle documentation it states that watchWarnings is a boolean argument. However, even after setting and purging my browser's cache, Twinkle still adds warned users to my watchlist. &mdash; scetoaux (T|C)  22:27, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Strange. It does this sometimes and not other times.  I can't figure out why. &mdash;  scetoaux (T|C)  05:26, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I just figured out that this isn't caused by Twinkle. When the talk page is created due to a warning being given to a user, the page is automatically added to your watchlist.  This is due to the wiki software, and can be disabled by going to My preferences -> Watchlist and unchecking  "Add pages I create to my watchlist". &mdash;  scetoaux (T|C)  21:17, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Oh, right, I didn't notice that. My apologies. --Closedmouth (talk) 00:59, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I think I know (partly) what's going on: Twinkle prepends a colon for all wikilinks, then does "extra" handling to add another colon for images. That second part can probably be omitted, since the first colon is sufficient. nneonneo talk 20:28, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * One colon is added by the template itself, the other colon is added by twinkle. I guess this is from a time when the colons were not yet added by (all) of the templates yet. Before this is fixed we need to check which templates DO and which DO NOT add a colon on their own. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 20:10, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

When reporting a user to AIV, one of the checkbox options reads Vandalism after recent release of block. When the report is generated, however, it reads Vandalism directly after release of block. This has led to at least one of my AIV reports being denied, as the vandalism was not immediate. Personally, I'd prefer the "recent" wording, as that would be useful more often. In any case, the text needs to be synchronized. //  Chris  (complaints) • (contribs) 16:31, 18 April 2008 (UTC) importScript('User:AzaToth/twinkle.js');

I just removed some vandalism from my talkpage - an abusive comment by an anon user, which was signed by SineBot. This of course means that SineBot was the last contributor, not the vandal. When doing the "revert vandalism" routine, Twinkle told me that the last edit was by a whitelisted contributor (SineBot) and that it instead assumed that I wanted to revert the contribution by the last editor prior to SineBot instead. Which is of course correct. However, the edit summary still displays information that I'm removing vandalism by SineBot. This should probably be changed to the proper username / IP address of the actual vandal. And, perhaps more importantly, the talkpage that was automatically opened was that of SineBot, not of the vandal. - Lilac Soul (talk • contribs • count) 16:10, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

When Twinkle is used to remove backlinks to deleted pages, it is also removing the links on redirects to the deleted articles. I have come across two pages so far today with content of "#REDIRECT deleted-article" as Twinkle removed the brackets. These redirects need to get deleted (which would happen via broken redirect maintenance if left alone) and not turned into bogus pages. The backlinks function needs to check if the page is a redirect and either leave it alone or tag it for CSD R1. -- JLaTondre (talk) 13:30, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

An IP vandalized Cardcaptor Sakura however when I used twinkle to rollback as vandalism, it replaced the entire article with the contents of 2008 New England Patriots season (an article I have never edited). How on earth could that have happened? -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 03:16, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * This happened to me as well, but I wasn't using Twinkle. I assume it was a Wikipedia software problem. -- JLaTondre (talk) 03:46, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Because I patrol recent new pages, I sometimes encounter ones that qualify for CSD. However, when I click the CSD criteria it falls under, nothing happens. I know that in this function, when you click on the criteria for CSD, it automatically submits the template. Is there something I can do to fix it? or is there something that may be intercepting with it?  S R X  15:24, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

See this, which is caused by the lack of a capital "D" after the colon. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 16:18, 29 July 2008 (UTC)


 * You mean capital "T", right? The (presumably) intended template is .  I'm not sure why it's capitalized, given that  itself isn't, but...  —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 20:16, 30 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Yes you are correct it was the "T" and now I fixed the problem by creating the redirect Template:Db-t3-notice. However, I notice that it still does not appear on the Burgundavia link above but did in a test edit in my sandbox. Ah, well then I suspect that at this point it is no longer a Twinkle bug but something else. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 21:01, 30 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't think MediaWiki retroactively processes subst: (AFAIK this is something that is done when the edit is made, not when the page is shown). Thus, the old edit will continue to maintain that incorrect text. According to Category:CSD warning templates, though, the template should have a better name than "T3". Something like db-unusedtemplate-notice is probably appropriate. A redirect should also be created from db-unusedtemplate to db-t3 and then Twinkle updated to use that name instead (it's the only one in twinklespeedy.js where the CSD code is used instead of a short name). Any thoughts? nneonneo talk 21:27, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

"You have been blocked for violation of the 3RR rule." Quick, what does the second "R" stand for? --NE2 10:10, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't see a problem here. The phrase "3RR rule" is commonly used on Wikipedia. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 08:46, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I have also seen phrases like "User X is on 6RR" meaning that they had done 6 reverts on a page in 1 day.
 * Similar things (where part of the meaning of an abbreviation gets lost) can be found in referring to living people as BLPs. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 17:38, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Some of these occur in more than one place, by the way. --Slashme (talk) 10:40, 5 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Another typo, also in twinklexfd.js: there is " This redirect has been listed on Redirects for discussion\]\]. " which results in an extra " ]] " after the link in the edit summary. --Snigbrook ( talk ) 22:49, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * That redirect has been deleted; this is one that still exists (although the redirect was retargeted): . --Snigbrook ( talk ) 21:00, 25 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment about other suggested changes: most would be improvements, not sure about this one:
 * "Leave blank for no linked page in report" -> "Leave blank to not link to the page in the report"
 * The existing version of this looks clearer to me. --Snigbrook ( talk ) 22:54, 10 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Another suggestion, this time in twinklebatchdelete.js (not sure what this is, but it is the only place I can find the text I mentioned in TW-B-177):


 * "batch deletion is now completed" -> "batch deletion is now complete" or "batch deletion has now been completed". --Snigbrook ( talk ) 23:03, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

I just noticed that when tagging paged for CSD the first A7 option (Unremarkable people, groups, companies and web content) places the DB-bio template which is only valid for individuals. Perhaps this should be switched to the generic DB-A7 template, or the description text should be updated to reflect this. Excirial ( Talk, Contribs ) 16:21, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I think that the correct approach is to have multiple drop-down menu entries for A7, one for each sub-category, so the most specific tag can be inserted. See Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion. VG &#x260E; 17:35, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

I was putting a welcome template here but when you look at the signature it is not mine it belongs to User: Reywas92. If you look at the history you will see I am the only editor who has made an edit to the page here. Am I missing something or is this a bug. BigDunc Talk 15:51, 11 August 2008 (UTC)


 * The template had been edited and tildes were automatically converted to the user's signature; I have now fixed it so it adds the correct signature. I'm not sure what the purpose of the edit of the template was; if anyone knows more about templates they may want to check for other errors. --Snigbrook ( talk ) 19:33, 11 August 2008 (UTC)


 * The template was reverted, so if there were any other problems caused by the changes they would have been fixed. --Snigbrook ( talk ) 11:22, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Using the xfd button to add an MFD fails to add the new MFD subpage to WP:MFD - it complains it can't find the correct section. --Hugh Charles Parker (talk - contribs) 05:07, 25 August 2008 (UTC)


 * In User:AzaToth/twinklexfd.js there is the text <tt>twinklexfd.callbacks.mfd.todaysList</tt>. Above that is the text <tt>'section': 2</tt>,  which possibly refers to section 2 of the page.  Before a heading was removed in this edit (on 25 June, which was the last date I could find that was added by Twinkle), section 2 was "Active discussions", but now it is today's date (when you were adding the entry it would have been "2008-08-24").  I could be completely wrong, as I don't really know how the code works, but I think it would have looked for a hidden comment in the "2008-08-24" section, and failed to find anything.  If this is how it works, the solution would be to change the headings to what they were before that edit or to change twinklexfd.js (although I'm not sure if any other changes would be needed with either of those). --Snigbrook ( talk ) 11:14, 25 August 2008 (UTC)


 * The structure of the page had changed, so the way that Twinkle was trying to create a new section for the current day was failing. I think I have fixed the problem.  Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 19:17, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

When tagging an image for CSD, disputed use, the script goes by the history of the page, instead of the listed uploader. Example. It warns me of the deletion of the image, despite the fact that I am not the one that uploaded it. —  Dæ dαlusContribs /Improve 19:47, 26 August 2008 (UTC)


 * The image is on Commons, so the description page is there. I don't know why the "di" tab can still be used on Commons images; "csd" and "xfd" tabs are not displayed on them.  It would be better to display an error message when attempting to nominate a Commons image for deletion, mentioning that it should be nominated there instead. --Snigbrook ( talk ) 20:46, 26 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Could you please provide some examples of images that should have a di tab and some that shouldn't? Thanks.  Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 14:51, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Every so often, when tagging an article for speedy deletion or prod, the article will be deleted before the tagging is done, causing Twinkle to recreate the page with just a deletion tag. An example is presumably this edit (any example I've made has already been deleted, so I'm using one that looks like this bug). Any way for Twinkle to check before recreating the page? nneonneo talk 03:05, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I have also experienced this phenomenon, and I have a similar problem documenting it. gnfnrf (talk) 14:51, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The speedy delete function already checks for the page's existence before tagging it. There's nothing really that can be done about the time difference between when the check is made and when the script adds the tag to the page.  However, the prod function didn't have this check built-in, so if you were reading an article for 5 minutes and then decide to prod it, but it was deleted 4 minutes ago, Twinkle would recreate the page.  I've added the same check in the speedy delete function to the prod function.  Please let me know if there are any problems with it.  Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 15:31, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

The label of (at least) the CSD A1 button does not match the current CSD criterion. At the moment, it reads:
 * Little or no context – Very short articles providing little or no context ...

Since A1 is one of the most misapplied CSD tags, I should really be changed to the exact wording from WP:CSD:
 * No context – Very short articles lacking sufficient context to identify the subject of the article. ...

Cheers, Amalthea Talk 17:57, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 19:37, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Can you please change the label to No context as well though? This is actually the more important change, since most taggers will only see the label. :) Cheers, Amalthea Talk 19:49, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * How so? Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 19:33, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Because A1 was reworded over a year ago from "little or no context" and nowadays reads "No context. Very short articles lacking sufficient context to identify the subject", so twinklespeedy.js no longer reflects what A1 says: little context is not a reason for speedy deletion. Typically, when an editor opens the CSD dialog, he only sees the labels, "little or no context" for A1, and has to point to the question mark to get the longer text. However, unexperienced taggers who don't know them all by heart will often only look at the CSD labels and find that "little context" quite often fits an article that should be deleted and just tag it with that (I know I have). I hope that answers your question, I wasn't quite sure what you were referring to. :) Cheers, Amalthea Talk 20:01, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, I hadn't noticed that change. I have made the corresponding adjustment in Twinkle.  Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 22:27, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
