== What happened to the "reason" parameter for blocking? ==

All of a sudden, the big white box that normally allows one to input the reason for a block has disappeared. It's not the end of the world, because the parameter isn't used for most of the specific templates like uw-vblock but it would be mildly irritating to have to do it the old-fashioned way just so I can type my own reason for the block.

::The block dialog was overhauled. You can now preview block templates (you don't get that rather pithy error message anymore). Along the way I decided to remove the "reason" box for block templates. The trouble with it was that, unlike for warning templates, the "reason" box used to actually change the wording of the template, rather than add a little note at the end (like the warning templates do). I did always have the intention of re-instating it if any admin came along and wondered about it, which has now happened. So I might add it back for some of the more general block templates...

== CSD suggestion ==

{{Resolved}}
Hello, is it possible to mark new articles as "Patrolled" when you tag them for CSD? It would be quite easier than going to going to [[Special:NewPages|New Pages]] and marking it manually. Thanks. --  '''[[User:Lukep913|<span style="color:#DC143C"><span style="font-family:Palatino">Luke</span></span>]]  [[User_talk:Lukep913|<span style="color:#191970"><span style="font-family:Palatino">(Talk)</span></span>]]''' 18:19, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

:IIRC, 1) Twinkle does this automatically when the article is accessed through [[Special:NewPages]]; 2) articles cannot be marked patrolled when accessed through other means due to technical limitations in MediaWiki; and 3) there's a bot that auto-patrols articles that have been tagged for CSD or PROD. Anybody care to confirm or correct me on any of these points? [[User:Jcgoble3|jcgoble3]] ([[User talk:Jcgoble3|talk]]) 22:03, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

== News (September 2011) ==

Just letting you know about some '''{{green|recent improvements}}''' to Twinkle, which might otherwise go unnoticed:
* Several '''new article tags''' were added, including {{tl|puffery}} and {{tl|cleanup-reorganize}}.
* Administrators can now '''preview block templates''' from within the Warn dialog box.
* Rollbackers can now '''warn vandals more quickly''' from the rollback results page, without having to copy-paste the article name – it is passed on via the vandal's talk page link, and will be pre-filled in the Warn dialog box.
Potential '''{{maroon|forthcoming features}}''' include:
* The ability to '''remove article tags''' using Twinkle.
* Re-adding the '''block template reason box''' for the generic block templates (for admins).
* '''FurMe in Twinkle''' (hopefully)
* Any other burning desires?

== Tagging page failed when protecting a page ==

{{Unresolved|Pending upgrade to MW 1.18 on servers.}}
Hi.  I just semi-protected [[Overblood]].  The protection action by Twinkle went just fine, but the tagging of the page failed with the following:  ''Tagging page: Failed to save edit: Unknown error: "231"''.  I was able to tag the page via a separate "Tag page with protection template" action, but I assume my inability to protect ''and'' tag in a single step was a bug.  I'm a new admin, and this is my first attempt to do this.  Any thoughts?  [[User:Richwales|<u>Rich</u>wales]] ([[User talk:Richwales|talk]]) 02:35, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

:First of all, welcome to the world of adminship.  Good to see that you're giving your newfound abilities a spin.  [[Zordon]] tells me that you'll be commanding the wise frog ninjazord in battle. :-)

:Otherwise, I set up a test page in my own userspace and fired a few test shots at it.  The page is located at [[User:SchuminWeb/Protection target]].  In running tests, I set it to semi-protect for an hour and put the small tag lock on it at the same time.  I discovered the following:

:* [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:SchuminWeb/Protection_target&diff=452464627&oldid=452464525 Protection goes on just fine.]
:* That process also [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:SchuminWeb/Protection_target&diff=452464629&oldid=452464627 tagged] the page with the {{txl|pp-protected}} tag, included the reason and expiration date as a parameter, and set it to small.  The template did not appear on the page.
:* I [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:SchuminWeb/Protection_target&diff=452464740&oldid=452464629 threw another tag at the page] and got one to stick, as the {{txl|pp-semi-indef}} tag managed to show the icon as intended.  However, I didn't like that as a reason, so I investigated further.
:* Going back to the original template, I [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:SchuminWeb/Protection_target&diff=452465425&oldid=452464740 changed the date] on the template to something further in the future.  The intended icon showed up.

:This brings us to a couple of possible scenarios:

:* (A) Twinkle is not adding enough information for the template to "expire" (i.e. hide itself) at the right time.  I am not sufficiently versed in that particular template's workings to say for sure.  This scenario concludes that Twinkle's treatment of the template is incomplete.
:* (B) The template is not designed to be specific enough in when to expire the template since if the date is set for the same day, the template will expire even though the protection has not.  Thus the template has the problem, but if the template is modified, Twinkle would need to be modified along with it to incorporate any new features that get built into the template.

:Personally, I vote for B as the more likely of the two.

:In your case, I see only two edits:

:* [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Overblood&diff=452456347&oldid=452417326 Page protection], and
:* [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Overblood&diff=452456607&oldid=452456347 Application of the tag]

:Considering that these two edits are three minutes apart, it is highly unlikely that Twinkle made both of those edits in the same sweep.  Twinkle did my protect-and-tag as two edits, with one applying the protection and a second putting the tag on.  Both were done within a minute of each other.  So for you, with the information that I found through researching as well as what you said, I can't say with certainty that you properly set the script to tag the page.  There's no tagging along with the protection in the edit history that's consistent with the results that I got.  I don't know if you made a mistake or if Twinkle dropped the ball somewhere (which sometimes happens).

:So first of all, we discovered a potential issue that we may want to fix somewhere related to how specific we want to be with the expiry date on the protection template.  That's more likely a project issue, though, and not necessarily a Twinkle issue.

:For your specific problem, what specific options in Twinkle's protection box did you set, and what did you set them to?  Also, could you please make the same protection action at [[User:SchuminWeb/Protection target]]?  Would like to see if your specific result with your same actions happens again in a more controlled environment outside article space.  I've [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:SchuminWeb/Protection_target&diff=452467710&oldid=452465425 reverted] the page back to its original form so you can test.

:So let me know what you come up with!  [[User:SchuminWeb|SchuminWeb]] ([[User talk:SchuminWeb|Talk]]) 04:12, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

::::I did the second edit (applying the tag) as a separate Twinkle operation, after realizing that my first Twinkle operation (protecting the page) hadn't applied a tag.  It took me a couple of minutes to take a screen shot of the page (just in case it might have been useful), then try to edit the page (to see if it had been successfully semi-protected), and finally decide to try tagging the page in a separate Twinkle operation.  I haven't tried protecting your sample page yet, but I will in just a minute.  FWIW, I semi'ed the [[Overblood]] page for two weeks; it's been the object of recurring bouts of vandalism spaced about four days apart — possibly to discourage administrator action at WP:RFPP by always making it look like the problem has gone away and thus doesn't merit intervention.  [[User:Richwales|<u>Rich</u>wales]] ([[User talk:Richwales|talk]]) 05:19, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

{{od|::::}}
There are two separate issues here, it seems: one is the Error 231, which (as I have said) is waiting to be fixed on the server end. Richwales, since this issue seems to be recurrent for you, you could ask [[mw:User:Catrope|Roan Kattouw]], the lead developer of the API, where this fix has ended up.

The other issue is the protection template disappearing. I suspect this occurs when a same-day expiry is set (e.g. protecting for 8 hours at 08:00 UTC), since the template is only passed a date parameter. Does this explain it? — <span style="border:dashed #666;border-width:1px 0 0 1px">[[User:This, that and the other|This, that]]</span>, and <span style="border:dashed #666;border-width:0 1px 1px 0">[[User talk:This, that and the other|the other<small> (talk)</small>]]</span> 10:09, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

:Hi.  OK, I'll contact Roan and ask about this fix for error 231.  As for your other point, I'm confused — I tried to set a semi-protection on this article to expire after ''two weeks'' (not on the same day!); and in any event, I had understood that protection templates were removed by [[User:DumbBOT|DumbBOT]] rather than expiring automatically on their own.  Or were you talking about something else here?  [[User:Richwales|<u>Rich</u>wales]] ([[User talk:Richwales|talk]]) 13:40, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

:And Roan (Catrope)'s response:  ''"The fix is in MediaWiki version 1.18, which is scheduled to be deployed to English Wikipedia on October 5th."''  [[User:Richwales|<u>Rich</u>wales]] ([[User talk:Richwales|talk]]) 14:11, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

::According to [[WP:ABOUT]], Wikipedia is now running '''version 1.18wmf1 (r99094)'''.  Anyone who can tell if this bug has in fact been resolved or not, please let us know.  Thanks.  [[User:Richwales|<u>Rich</u>wales]] ([[User talk:Richwales|talk]]) 17:23, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Twinkle has suddenly stopped working for me despite no change occurring. The tabs aren't even showing up, and they aren't for HotCat either.

== Enhancement: FURME should allow tagging for format conversions ==

{{resolved}}
Priority - Enhancment,  Component - FURME (as integrated into Twinkle).

Would it be possible to add an option when adding an FUR to also add tags for format conversion?

Such as, allowing logo's to be tagged for Vector conversion? Or static GIF files for conversion to PNG (which gives
better compression)? 

Thanks.
[[User:Sfan00 IMG|Sfan00 IMG]] ([[User talk:Sfan00 IMG|talk]]) 09:57, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

:The option already exists, as there is now a "Tags" menu for files under Twinkle, which is derived from FurMe.  Not in the same dialog, mind you (and I would oppose putting the rationale-placing and maintenance-tagging on the same dialog), but both exist.

== Coming and going ==

Like the others above, I had the same period of cursing when Twinkle was apparently AWOL. Twinkle is back - but playing hide and seek on the machine I'm using. Sometimes the buttons are there, sometimes they wait before appearing (then snap in like kids sneaking into the classroom while Sir isn't looking), other times they don't appear and I have to refresh the page. Occasionally I have to do this with Ctrl Reload before the buttons come up.

== Warnings to new IPs will not post ==

I mentioned above that user warnings were not working.  After some experimenting, it seems the warnings only fail to get posted when the talk page has not previously been written to, that is, are redlinked.  Twinkle gets as far as "Info: adding a shared IP notice" and then hangs and does not post the warning.  Still not sure if this also applies to registered users.

== Possible change of wording in Orphaned non-free "image" warning ==

I'm not sure which template is being transcluded to the user talk page in the "File for dated speedy deletion"  - "Orphaned fair use" (F5) section, however, the message title is "Orphaned non-free image File:Fubar".  Can this be changed to "Orphaned non-free File:Fubar" (removing "image" as not all of the Files are Images).  Thanks.

== Tagging images on Commons from Wikipedia ==

It would be very useful to have the option of tagging an image from its Wikipedia description page that is actually on Commons. Recently there have been a lot of images I've tagged with {{tl|BadJPEG}} or similar, but had to click through to the description page on Commons and manually edit the page. I know Commons templates are different from Wikipedia's and that adding all of them to Twinkle and keeping up with changes and additions would be an entire project on its own. Perhaps simply adding an extra text box in the config with a newline-delimited list of user-defined Commons templates? —[[User:Danhash|danhash]] <small>([[User talk:Danhash|talk]])</small> 16:50, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

== Make selecting multiple criteria for speedy deletion the norm ==

Twinkle supports {{tl|db-multiple}} but makes it hard to use it with multiple windows popping up, one for each criterion, plus the normal window. Can this changed to make multiple selections the norm, for example by using check boxes instead of radio boxes? It has come up multiple times at [[WT:CSD]] that taggers seldom use {{tl|db-multiple}} even when it would be warranted (for example to tag copyvio that is also advertising) and I guess one of the reasons for that is that Twinkle, which many people use, does not make it easy for them. Regards '''[[User:SoWhy|<span style="color: #7A2F2F; font-variant:small-caps">So</span>]][[User talk:SoWhy|<span style="color: #474F84; font-variant:small-caps">Why</span>]]''' 17:17, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
:There are several reasons against this:
:*It would make speedy deletion less speedy (more clicks involved);
:*It would encourage users to select many criteria, when more often than not, one is enough (for example, by far the most common speedy criterion is A7, which nearly always stands alone, although it is sometimes coupled with G10, G11, or G12);
:*It overestimates the frequency with which specifying multiple criteria are actually helpful;
:*It could encourage foolish taggings where all (or a lot of) the boxes are mischievously checked.
:In my view, Twinkle makes it easy enough to tag with multiple criteria; it is an illusion that multiple boxes are popping up - it is in fact the one box, which is cleared for a specified interval (<0.5 sec) after each selection to give the user visual feedback that Twinkle is ready for their next selection. — <span style="border:dashed #666;border-width:1px 0 0 1px">[[User:This, that and the other|This, that]]</span>, and <span style="border:dashed #666;border-width:0 1px 1px 0">[[User talk:This, that and the other|the other<small> (talk)</small>]]</span> 23:50, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

::Let's see:
::*"Speedy" in "speedy deletion" does not refer to the amount of time it takes to tag a page; quite the contrary, tagging pages should be done after careful thinking, so having to click "OK" after selecting the criteria is not really harmful. Plus, this way mistaggings due to mistakenly clicking on a certain selection would be avoided.
::*The point of my request was that users select only one criterion where multiple apply - for example, only A7 instead of A7 and G11. As Blanchardb correctly notes at [[WT:CSD]], this leads to deletions for a certain reason which the creator rectifies only to have it deleted for a different reason afterwards, e.g. G12 tagging => text is released as open source => G11 tagging. 
::*It's more frequently useful than it's used today (see above)
::*Anything Twinkle allows you to do can be used mischievously. That alone has not nor should ever be a reason to remove or decline any feature. Furthermore, Twinkle could easily limit the number of criteria to be picked. 
::I know how that it's always the same box but for anyone not tech-savvy, it will look as if multiple boxes are popping up.

:::I'm still not convinced... I think my main issue with this is that admins are intelligent: no matter what tag is applied to an article, the admin should be able to judge whether the article falls under ''any'' criterion. (For example, an article tagged with G1, which is coherent and not nonsensical, but still obviously non-notable, can and should be deleted under A7.) So one shouldn't get too hung up about articles being tagged with the wrong criterion (with the possible exceptions of G10 and G12).
:::Let's see what the others say. (By the way, I don't really understand your second point... how often does a G12 tagging actually lead to release of material under a free license?? I can't say I would expect it to happen, although I suppose it might.) — <span style="border:dashed #666;border-width:1px 0 0 1px">[[User:This, that and the other|This, that]]</span>, and <span style="border:dashed #666;border-width:0 1px 1px 0">[[User talk:This, that and the other|the other<small> (talk)</small>]]</span> 10:00, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

::::I guess most admins are intelligent but that's not the point, is it? Admins deleting an article will not notify the user if they apply multiple criteria, so in most cases the user will know about why the page was tagged for deletion by the message the tagging user left them on their talk page (hence it's important to tag correctly). Regards '''[[User:SoWhy|<span style="color: #7A2F2F; font-variant:small-caps">So</span>]][[User talk:SoWhy|<span style="color: #474F84; font-variant:small-caps">Why</span>]]''' 18:25, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

:::::Realize that most admins are super-intelligent beings.  When they give you the mop, you see, they also implant a device in your navel that gives you added mental capabilities.  It's kind of like your own natural USB port.  Thus if you have an "outie", you can't be an admin, because you lack the proper port to accommodate the super-intelligence device that all admins get installed.

:::::Seriously, though, speaking for myself when I do speedies, I don't think I've ever applied multiple criteria to a speedy deletion.  I will pick one criterion that applies and go with that to make the deletion, and if others apply as well, so be it, but I'm only coming up with a "main" one.  Sometimes I diverge from the nominator's reasoning.  One of the most common ways I diverge is in biographical articles.  Someone will make an article saying, "Johnny Doe is a student at Angel Grove Elementary School who makes really great mud pies in the playground!" for instance, and while it will be tagged for A7 (which would certainly apply), I'll actually speedy it as G10 (attack page).

:::::So the moral of the story is that it's just not necessary to have the option to tick multiple speedy criteria.  An article that is obvious crap is pretty self-evident.  Any admin worth their stuff knows what true speedy deletion candidates look like for various categories, and it's not necessary to specify a thousand reasons.  It just has to meet one speedy criterion to get deleted, and then we move on.  [[User:SchuminWeb|SchuminWeb]] ([[User talk:SchuminWeb|Talk]]) 19:44, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

== Move page without leaving that page ==

[[File:Proposed page move.png|right|thumb|A mock-up of my idea.]]When moving pages, it would be ''very'' helpful if the move dialog didn't occur on a separate page, but instead occurred at the top of the page (like "add to watchlist"). I recently moved several hundred images named '''DSC'''to more descriptive names, and most of those new names were based on text on the page itself. Keeping everything on one page makes it a lot easier to double-check, less likely there is a typo, and less likely that one page will be moved to a title intended for another.

== Problem hitting cancel ==

On [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=File:Star_plot_2.gif&diff=prev&oldid=456264008 this edit] I started to tag the image with {{tl|Image-Poor-Quality}}, but once the prompt box came up asking for the reason, I wanted to check the image again since, in my scatter-brainedness, I hadn't already figured out what I was going to type. My bad, I know. So I hit cancel, but it still saved with a partial edit. Was using Chrome 14. Generally with Twinkle I've noticed that hitting cancel on a prompt cancels the whole operation. Also take note of the edit summary it left. How hard would it be to change these edit prompt boxes to the same in-page prompts twinkle also uses? This would've helped a lot as I would've been able to switch to another tab and look at the image again; plus, dialog pop-ups that usurp UI control are just annoying. I know that'd be at least a little more code to add though; would it be possible to at least make hitting cancel return an error/abort the edit? —[[User:Danhash|danhash]] <small>([[User talk:Danhash|talk]])</small> 15:24, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

== Tagging new pages as patrolled ==

Could we get Twinkle to automatically tag new pages as patrolled regardless of what criteria they've been speedied for? I was just informed that it doesn't do this for all of them, which explains why I've found I've speedied some but not "patrolled" them. [[User:Calabe1992|Calabe1992]] ([[User talk:Calabe1992|talk]]) 15:32, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
:I don't know who told you that, but I think they're wrong. AS for as I can see, Twinkle should patrol the page regardless of the criterion selected; the only deciding factor is whether the page was reached from [[Special:NewPages]] or not; if it is '''not''' reached from NewPages, there is no way that Twinkle (or a manually-editing user) can mark the page as patrolled.  — <span style="border:dashed #666;border-width:1px 0 0 1px">[[User:This, that and the other|This, that]]</span>, and <span style="border:dashed #666;border-width:0 1px 1px 0">[[User talk:This, that and the other|the other<small> (talk)</small>]]</span> 11:04, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

== CSD log ==

Hello, hoping someone can help. I can't seem to get the CSD log to work. I've made multiple edits to the preferences, changed the location various times- the default location was "CSD log", I changed it to "User:France3470/CSD Log", which seems to make it register in the code but resulted in no page being created. I even went so far as to create the page myself (which may have an a no-no). I've searched extensively through previous discussions but I really haven't any clue as to what the issue is. Here is the most recent diff: [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:France3470/twinkleoptions.js&diff=prev&oldid=456446913] -[[User:France3470|<font face="Georgia">'''France'''<font color="1B3F8B">''3470''</font></font>]] [[User talk:France3470|(<font size="2">''talk''</font>)]] 14:59, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
:Have you [[WP:BYPASS|cleared your browser cache]]? Try clearing out your entire "temporary internet files" folder.

== Current pages for un-protection ==

Has something been changed recently on the Current pages for un-protection on the page protection notice board. Because I have now tried to submit 2 pages for un-protection reports using twinkle. Twinkle is currently giving an error message off when attempting to use the tool to submit unprotect requests and is not posting at all to the page.([[User:Ruth-2013|Ruth-2013]] ([[User talk:Ruth-2013|talk]]) 01:22, 21 October 2011 (UTC))
:Should be fixed by [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection&diff=prev&oldid=456626707 this edit]. Twinkle looks for a particular section heading, followed by a template, and wasn't finding a match because of that extra line break tag (I'm not sure why it was there, to begin with). If it turns out the break tag is necessary, we'll need to update Twinkle's code to reflect that, but I think this should do for now. – <small>[[User:Luna Santin|<font color="#28f">Luna Santin</font>]] ([[User talk:Luna Santin|talk]])</small> 04:06, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

== Some new Twinkle stats ==

Hey Twinklers. We’ve been doing some research on user warnings in the Community Dept. at the WMF, and I thought I’d share what we compiled this week...

Thanks to [[User:jtmorgan|jtmorgan]] and [[User:Staeiou|Staeiou]], we now have a list of the most commonly issued user warning templates delivered by Twinkle from the past year. The following are the 89 warning templates (ordered most common to least) from a randomized sample of 1,000 Twinkle user talk edits since October 2010. It’s small compared to the huge amount of TW use every month on English Wikipedia, but it’s enough to garner statistical significance in light of how many revisions are generated by TW.

Seems to me that this might be useful if you’re ever trying to decide which TW warnings are really being used and you want to keep or make more prominent in the list. As a side note, we’ve also been doing randomized [[A/B testing]] with user warnings in [[WP:HG|Huggle]] and are now collaborating with [[WP:UW]] folks too over at [[WP:UWTEST]]. If any Twinkle users would like to see some hard stats on how new editors respond to different kinds of warnings, we’d be more than happy to run a test with Twinkle too.

== CSD tagging ==

Apparently Twinkle still notifies page creators of at least G6 deletions. See [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Woohookitty&diff=456570374&oldid=456570021 here].

:Update: After reading [[#TB problems]] again, and when I saw this one topic for the third or fourth time today, I think I know what it is. It is still using <code>{{tl|db-csd-notice-custom}}</code>, from what I could tell. Is that template really only used for Twinkle warnings? Or is it used by regular users for non-twinkle csd notices?
