Feature request and talk page bug
Hello! This consists of a feature request for UV, and a bug on this very talk page. The feature request is to allow pressing the enter key to submit an edit summary. The bug is that the "feature request" button on this talk page does not seem to work (or at least, not on my alt). Blaze Fire Wolf (talk) 22:50, 7 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Seems like it does work, you just have to click on the next and not on the button directly. Chlod ( UV • say hi!) 03:08, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

uw-engvar misplaced parameters
I gave a user the uw-engvar reminder at their talk page. However, instead of correctly filling in the 1 parameter with the page name, it filled up the 2 parameter instead, causing it to appear as a comment. Aaron Liu (talk) 15:46, 18 November 2022 (UTC)


 * @Aaron Liu: When reporting bugs, please ensure that this isn't a one-time issue and provide means of reproducing the problem. After testing, both RedWarn and Ultraviolet properly handle the page name. Chlod ( UV • say hi!) 12:53, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

Disabling a feature
Hello, I cannot seem to find how to disable ( current  prev    rvv    rb ) from showing up on Special:Contributions pages in redwarn settings or documentation. All I could find is the update when the feature was added. Is there a way to disable the feature? - GA Melbourne (talk) 05:36, 20 January 2023 (UTC)


 * @GA Melbourne: There is currently no way to disable those buttons on RedWarn. Chlod ( UV • say hi!) 13:18, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

Auto subscribe to warning topics on user talk
Could a feature to automatically subscribe to warning topics on user talk pages be implemented? Aaron Liu (talk) 13:31, 22 November 2022 (UTC)


 * This is a planned feature for Ultraviolet; support may be limited as of now as DiscussionTools is in beta and the API for it may change without notice. Chlod ( UV • say hi!) 13:20, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

Feature request
When making a report to OS via UV, before you click the box there's a message that says "Please confirm your diligence in writing this report." I don't think diligence is the correct word to use here as Google defines "diligence" as "careful and persistent work or effort". I think instead it should say "Please confirm that everything in this report is correct." which is what clicking the box says you do. Blaze Fire Wolf (talk) 21:16, 26 January 2023 (UTC)


 * @Blaze Fire Wolf: I don't see a big problem here. Wiktionary defines it as "Carefulness." This same interpretation gives rise to the term "due diligence", wherein a user properly gives the reasonable amount of care (or perhaps more) in writing their report&mdash;this is the basis of that checkbox's label. If you wanted to get really deep into semantics, in an emergency report, correctness cannot be fully guaranteed. A reporter can get the facts wrong, especially in the case of recent changes patrolling where everything is fast-paced. Attention to the issue through information gained through careful checking, particularly in imminent threats of harm, is paramount; reporting a death threat shouldn't feel like you're filing under penalty of perjury. Chlod ( UV • say hi!) 21:54, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Hmm... you do make a good point. However in my opinion using the word "Diligence" without "due diligence" in here reads a little odd as I feel the majority of people would go with the first definition (and maybe the 2nd altho that would be closer to "diligent"). I'm trying to think of what might be better to put there that wouldn't be as odd. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 22:48, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

Ultraviolet using Uw-cabal user warnings!?
I assume this is a mistake made when updating the user warning documentation, but Template:Uw-cabal1 says it's needed by Ultraviolet. Am I permitted to update these templates? –charmquark314 she/they talk contribs 17:27, 27 January 2023 (UTC)


 * I looked at the template myself and it appears the "cabal1" template doesn't have an actual documentation page. It looks like what needs to be done is a new parameter needs to be added to Templatesnotice as on the cabal one it has this line for the documentation: so I think a "noultraviolet" parameter needs to be added. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 17:33, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, "Noultraviolet" is already a parameter for the template os I just needed to add that to the template. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 17:35, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm also going to add the parameter for the Template:Uw-constructive1 series and any other humor templates. –charmquark314 she/they talk contribs 17:47, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. I would say any template that has the "noredwarn" parameter set to "Yes" should also have the "noultraviolet" parameter set to yes unless that Template is in UV but not in RW. ― Blaze WolfTalk<sub title="Discord Username" style="margin-left:-22q;">Blaze Wolf#6545 17:52, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
