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)[reply]

Another example: [1] Gscshoyru 18:48, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]

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

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)[reply]

Was this caused by bug 13 or something else? --Silvonen (talk) 15:39, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like bug 13 to me. This happens to me when I navigate away from the page, either by accident, or because the form appears stuck. Before leaving, the dialog reads "Error while posting form: error 200" or something similar (I am sure it says 200 as the error code). It seems to be caused if Twinkle is unable to post the whole form, but manages to post some of it. nneonneo talk 16:13, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Twinkle breaks things when deleting images that are in comments. See, for example, [19]. 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)[reply]

When reverting vandalism, the warning that someone else already reverted doesn't come up, and the reversion form goes on unaffected. J-ſtanTalkContribs 22:20, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]

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:

		alert( 'You don\'t want to warn yourself , do you?' );
		return;

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
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 ) --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 13:57, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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?

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.

This is not exactly the same issue. The error message differs and i'm having trouble pinpointing it exactly to a function or paramater.

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.

When applying a CSD template for an image, the template used on the image page itself links to the correct talk page, as indicated here. But the notice applied on the user's talk page is incorrect, as indicated here. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 00:31, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]

It is correctly linked to in the users talk page notification too, just not the AfD tag SGGH speak! 10:06, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like a simple caching/concurrency issue to me. The article was re-rendered before the AfD page was done being created. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 19:54, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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 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');

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.
