[[File:Huggle Screen Error 2010-10-30.jpg|thumb|Note how paragraphs are being shifted upwards on top of each other]]
Yesterday when I used Huggle, it looked fine. Now, where it shows the differences in the article, all the differences are stacked on top of each other, making it impossible to read the article. I have tried rebooting Huggle, rebooting my computer, deleting the configs, and resetting the configuration file under my user page. Nothing seems to fix it. Does anybody know what I should do to fix this? [[User:Reaper Eternal|Reaper Eternal]] ([[User talk:Reaper Eternal|talk]]) 10:42, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Huggle not broken

A unified account seems to fix the problem. I went to Special:MergeAccount and after I could get in Huggle. --CanadianLinuxUser (talk) 18:21, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
A lot of other stuff is broken as well. For example, blocking. Calvin 1998 (t·c) 19:51, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Feedback

Finnish Wikipedia

Hey, is it possible to have Huggle work in Finnish Wikipedia? If not, is there any other similar tool? --Olli (talk) 06:06, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Warning's problems in es.wiki

Hi, on eswiki Huggle skip the warns left by others users, as you can see here, any idea about what is wrong? thanks Diegusjaimes complaints 19:02, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Another problem...

This time it's crashing when I open the box to request page protection. It's happened twice in the last few minutes. Could someone please help? dffgd talk·edits 21:30, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that doesn't work and hasn't for years. Also if you're requesting page protection that often, you're doing it wrong. Gurch (talk) 10:10, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No, I tried to request the same page again when I opened HG back up. If it doesn't work, why is it still there? Plus, I've successfully requested protection with it here, and I may have done it multiple times in the past. dffgd talk·edits 12:29, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Failure to load message files

Every time I try to log in, I get "Failed to load message files: Request timed out". Never had any problems before. Anyone know what might be up? I tried retyping my password several times and in case I was somehow entering it wrong changed it, but no dice. Falcon8765 (talk) 18:09, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind. Updating Java appears to have fixed it. Falcon8765 (talk) 18:27, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No, updating Java did not fix it. There is no Java code in this application. That message will occur if the wiki you are accessing is down or extremely slow to respond. Gurch (talk) 10:33, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Tag Copyedit

Is it possible to quiqly put the tag {{copyedit}} with Huggle? I use Huggle in the Spanish wiki. Regards. --84.79.207.16 (talk) 21:08, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested change to one revert message

Currently, one of the revert message options is "(Reverted addition of unsourced negative content to a biographical article (HG))." Could I suggest we change this slightly? Since WP:BLP applies in all articles (actually, in all spaces, including userspace), could we change it to refer to the content, instead of to the article type? That is, make it say something more like "(Reverted addition of unsourced negative content about a living person per WP:BLP)". Qwyrxian (talk) 03:37, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

browser

forgive me if this is not the correct place to ask technical questions about huggle. it would be quite convenient to be able to click a link and have it open in the program or, preferably, a new tab in my browser; currently clicking links appears to do nothing. alternately, the "view in external browser button would suffice, but it always opens internet explorer while firefox is my default browser. i took a glance through the options but failed to find any settings for these features. does anyone know any solutions? cheers WookieInHeat (talk) 01:57, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

can't log in

I asked days before, but get no answer. Huggle worked in the past for me, but now I can not login. In german wikipedia it works for me. I use 0.9.6 - thanks for help, Conny (talk) 19:29, 15 September 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Diff zu last reviewed version

There should be an option, that it is possible to show the Diff to the last reviewed version. Is such a plugin planned? Greetings, Conny (talk) 22:06, 15 September 2010 (UTC).[reply]

More details in older query. Greetings, Conny (talk) 22:21, 15 September 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Huggle

Why doesn't Huggle let me log in because of an unknown error? Wayne Olajuwon chat 01:03, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Huggle also doesn't let me revert some vandalism. Wayne Olajuwon chat 15:48, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

SLOW!!!

huggle is working VERY slowly for me lately, if at all. it works for about 10 - 15 minutes before it won't advance to the next revision, when it does manage to advance the features work intermittently (i.e. won't revert or reverts but doesn't indicate it has). it has been crashing on a pretty regular basis, but usually i have to restart it before that because it stops functioning. it was working fine since i started using it about a month ago, this just started in the past few days. any one else having similar problems? WookieInHeat (talk) 20:26, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

also, wikipedia pages are loading very slowly over the past few days. often an article or talk page will load but the wikipedia logo and links at top and left won't load for another 30 - 60 secs. i know my internet connection is fine, all other sites load normally and i have been doing regular speed tests. think this slow loading may have something to do with huggle timing out. WookieInHeat (talk) 20:38, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You people voted for Pending Changes; you only have yourselves to blame. – iridescent 20:42, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, Huggle operates on the assumption that web requests will take about 1-3 seconds. When they start taking 30-60 seconds, it becomes pretty unusable. As you have identified yourself, this is an issue with Wikipedia, not Huggle. Gurch (talk) 21:02, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
huggle timing out because wikipedia servers may be overloaded, although frustrating, is understandable. however this doesn't explain the regular lock ups and crashes, unless 20 or so page time outs makes huggle crash for some reason. WookieInHeat (talk) 21:16, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
been pinging wikipedia.org for the last ten minutes, seems to time out on the first couple requests, then requests start going through with minimal latency. this corresponds with having to advance past a few revisions (hit the spacebar) in huggle before it will load a new edit. what on earth is making wikipedia servers react so sluggishly for me? WookieInHeat (talk) 21:42, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I just told you. In their wisdom, the devs are now running a spectacularly cack-handed script which the servers can't cope with, and it's slowed every Wikipedia process down to a crawl. Get used to it, since the Defenders Of The Wiki are going to keep holding the "should we keep this feature?" vote until it gives them the result they want. – iridescent 22:34, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That extension is not the sole source of the problem, although it isn't exactly helping. Gurch (talk) 23:01, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed on your huggle.css that your preload setting is at a low setting of 2. Try setting it to 5. You can do this by loading up Huggle, going up to the toolbar and clicking "System", then in the list clicking "Options". In the "General" tab, which should already be showing for you, make sure that the "Enable preloading of diffs" box is checked, and change the number next to that option to 5. This should speed things up quite a bit for you. The Thing // Talk // Contribs 14:17, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

excellent, thank you for taking the time to check that out, although the problem seems to have cleared up on its own. for about three days huggle was working excruciatingly slow and crashing every ten minutes, then whatever the problem was just magically cleared itself up. but thanks for going out of your way to assist me none the less. cheers WookieInHeat (talk) 14:44, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Changing that value will do nothing to speed up anything when the issue is response times from the wiki itself; indeed, it will likely make things even slower in such cases. Gurch (talk) 17:02, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Whitelist

It says:

  • This is a list of users whose contributions may be ignored while searching for vandalism. It is updated automatically by Huggle.

Instead of maintaining a long list of users, just check the account age. If its older than 30 or 90 days, thats good enough. --Matt57 (talkcontribs) 14:14, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No—some of our most die-hard POV-pushers go back years, and any self-respecting vandal has a big stash of ripened socks. – iridescent 14:25, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The actual reason for doing this is that maintaining a list of users is significantly faster and more efficient than checking the account age of every contributor as they edit (one large request at startup versus hundreds of small requests during the session). Gurch (talk) 16:02, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Alright I guess if thats true, it makes sense. --Matt57 (talkcontribs) 20:25, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Profanity highlighting

Another anti-vandal tool, igloo, highlights profanity added in the edit in pink, such as shit, penis, ass, emoticons such as :), and even repeating characters, such as ggggggggggggggggggg. I think Huggle should do the same thing. ~NerdyScienceDude 03:18, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh it's alright, if you're eagle-eyed enough, you should spot it anyway... ;) Orphan Wiki 09:43, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Text changed by the edit is already highlighted. Multiple types and colors of highlighting may lead to confusion. In addition, instances of vandalism containing words like "shit" and "penis" are usually easy to spot, and "gggggggggggggggg" even more so; in five years I still have yet to come across an instance of a user adding a coherent, useful paragraph of text whilst slipping "penis" in the middle somewhere, which would be about the only situation where such a feature would be of significance. Gurch (talk) 10:01, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not warning vandals

On the computer I am currently using, Huggle's log shows that it is not warning vandals, because they haven't edited since their latest warning, yet they have.

Nothing new. The situation is as described. Just ignore it, and continue your work, it shouldn't happen regularly. Orphan Wiki 21:12, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Huggle crashing

If I use Shift + P for a keyboard shortcut for Request Protection, huggle crashes with a error message: "Huggle has encountered a error and needs to Close. If you were in the middle of something any changes may be lost." Is there a technical reason why Shift + P causes huggle to crash? Thank you, --Alpha Quadrant talk 19:49, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Although this has happened to me before, I just barely tested it in the Huggle sandbox, and it stayed up. I'm not sure exactly what causes it. The Thing // Talk // Contribs 14:22, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

New Templates

I was wondering if it would be possible over time to add the following to Huggle's list of templates:

Thanks! — SpikeToronto 20:38, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why would you warn someone for reverting themselves? Gurch (talk) 22:22, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The self-revert template is for those IP editors who are testing the vandalism waters by making vandalizing edits, and then reverting them. That way they don't get blocked. But, if you hit them with {{Uw-selfrevert}}, it usually stops them messing about since they know that recent changes patrollers are on to them. Edits like that still slow us down because we have to stop and deliberate over the edit to determine if it is vandalism. The self revert template reduces the frequency of these types of edits and thus reduces the number of them that we have to look at. The template is not used for someone who reverts themselves because they messed up an edit. G-d knows I do that all the time! — SpikeToronto 22:35, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You can do both yourself...
  • For the non-counting ones, you can add existing ones by editing your huggle.css file. See User:Ronhjones/huggle.css for example - they then appear when you click the 3rd button (red blob - "revert this revision [R]"). Note that this file can get re-written if you change preferences within Huggle or there's a new version - which has to write the version number in it. When that happens I have to revert it back and do any necessary changes manually.
  • For the counting ones, you need to create the templates like those shown at Template:Huggle and then edit Wikipedia:Huggle/Config to add them in.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 21:50, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wow! I don’t understand anything you’ve said! But, I know that it means that you’ve given me a solution … now, I just have to figure it out … Thanks Ron! — SpikeToronto 19:48, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Constant minor bug

Hi. Every single time I revert an edit, with a custom summary (ie "advanced" on the drop down list) and I check "Revert only the selection" (ie- undo), it always tells me that the edit is being reverted by someone else, when it isn't. Thanks Tommy! 20:30, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Interface localization is done

Japanese interface localization is done. When next update, please check this page (m:Huggle/Localization/ja). And I want Global setting on ja.wikipedia enable. I think testing and translation of settings and templates are next step. Thank you :) --Was a bee (talk) 04:01, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Revert summary line length

When selecting Advanced from the menu for the leftmost revert button, the line length in the very latest version (0.9.7) is significantly shorter than in the previous version (0.9.6). Can it be put back to the longer length please? Thanks! — SpikeToronto 17:50, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I honestly don't see what your talking about. Pics would help but it seems to be the same side as it always been. Sidonuke 18:28, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
In my earlier HG session today, it was truncating lines like the following:

Significant content change w/out citing a [[WP:V|verifiable]] [[WP:RS|reference]]/[[WP:CITE|citation]] and/or providing [[WP:ES|explanation]]. Pls use [[WP:ES|edit summaries]].

But, now it seems okay. Go figure … I’ll let you know if it happens aggain. — SpikeToronto 19:46, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Huggle 0.9.7: unable to log in to Portuguese Wikipedia

I'm a rollbacker of Portuguese Wikipedia and I've downloaded the latest version (0.9.7), but I can't log in to Portuguese Wikipedia. However, I've logged in to other projects, including English Wikipedia, but the program displayed "Use of Huggle on this project requires rollback.". What's wrong? Francisco talk contrib 23:01, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Approval and 500 edits are required. Make sure you meet those requirements. I'll check out a few things and verify its working. Sidonuke 01:35, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Just tested it myself and Huggle works fine on pt.wikipedia. Of course I bypassed two requirement checks in order to test... But for the most part I can not repo this. Sidonuke 01:54, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
But I still can't log in to Portuguese Wikipedia. Could someone verify the code, please? Francisco talk contrib 02:41, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Are you absolutely sure you attempting to connect to the right wiki? Have you tried deleting huggle, downloading a new one, putting it in a new folder so its configuration is gone? Try those steps and get back to me with an exact error message. Sidonuke 04:24, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I deleted the program, downloaded a new one and saved it to a program file folder (example: C:\Program Files\Huggle), but it still displays Unable to log in. Francisco talk contrib 14:47, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Have you added enable:true to your pt:Special:MyPage/huggle.css? Access Denied [FATAL ERROR] 17:24, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I have. Francisco talk contrib 17:50, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I have repo the issue myself. Ironically I can by attempting to login as you, any other account works fine X.x. I'm going to look into it deeper now since I can swift though why its happening. If anyone is curious, \Requests\Requests.vb Line: 262 (If Result.Contains("
") Then Return LoginResult.Failed) is the direct cause of his login failures. Sidonuke 19:50, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Error message returned is this "Erro de autenticação

A palavra-chave que introduziu é inválida. Tente novamente, por favor." Translation please? Sidonuke 19:54, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That appears to be a incorrect password message. That seems to be the only reason for login failure. Because its a different wiki we don't seem to be catching the incorrect password error. I'm going to go ahead and build you a custom huggle so we can get your detailed error message. Sidonuke 19:57, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've typed my correct password. Francisco talk contrib 23:03, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry about not getting back to you soon enough, I've been busy lately with various things. Just be patient for now and I'll try getting in here to help. Sidonuke 08:14, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

IRC not using given proxy

The IRC does not use the proxy that I put in, and as such, I can't access the RC feed. 930913 (Congratulate/Complaints) 07:22, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry but from what I see it will take a bit of code to get IRC to run via a proxy. I'm not technically competent enough to do such a thing. If someone else does it then I'll put it in. For now try using a program that makes any program run via proxy. Sidonuke 08:13, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Huggle not receiving any edits from the IRC recent changes feed.

I would surmise it's because they renamed the RC feed bot from "rc" to "rc-pmtpa". The Thing // Talk // Contribs 15:20, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have fixed it. In "irc.vb", the lines which contain "rc!~rc@" need to have that string changed to "rc-pmtpa!~rc-pmtpa@", in all 17 lines which contain the string. The Thing // Talk // Contribs 16:00, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It should be noted that according to the devs in #wikimedia-tech on Freenode, there are going to be more changes to the IRC RC feed, so this is in no way reliable, as is any fix until they get everything completely settled. The Thing // Talk // Contribs 16:01, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed, new version up. Sidonuke 16:55, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reverts my edits

Huggle has wiped out my edits four times now.

Fifth Amendment, Hanson, Massachusetts, Neologism and Radiology.

Are there any plans to fix that bug? Slightsmile (talk) 02:42, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Trying to figure out what I'm seeing here, Everything seems to be working fine. Sidonuke 18:59, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]


The problem is that huggle isn't realizing that the edit was already reverted; there have been issues with this in the past, despite the fact that there are built-in safeguards against this. Calvin 1998 (t·c) 22:31, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This is a bug but for the most part it doesn't seem to be causing major havoc. I can't repo this for the life of me, so It's hard to fix. Sidonuke 08:09, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Localization setting

During translation of Huggle into Japanese, I found some point. Some are I think important, some are not so. I list here along its priorities.

  • 1. Settings of "ja.wikipedia.org" and "language ja" are not included in Huggle itself. Now installation of Huggle is very complex for beginners :s
Please add this file(ja.txt) to this folder(Localization), and please add here a line ja.wikipedia;http://ja.wikipedia.org/, like this file(DefaultLocalConfig.txt)
  • 2. Documentation link and Feedback link is fixed to en.wikipedia. Not all people can read English and some settings must be solved at local project (e.g. templates, edit summries)
  • 3.I found 9 strings that is not translated, but translation setteings are exist. I list that here.

I don't hope everything solved. But only first point is very needed xo Now nobody can install Huggle by myself. --Was a bee (talk) 05:28, 19 October 2010 (UTC) (rewrite) --05:52, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Content disappearing

Why does the content disappear when I try to edit a page? This is a bug. Wayne Olajuwon chat 21:01, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Starting problem

This new version of huggle has problems starting. When I try to log in, it says "unable to log in" although the password, project and username are correct, just as they were with earlier versions. Is it only me, or is this some common, known bug? DARTH SIDIOUS 2 (Contact) 12:29, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have discovered why this message has appeared. The program works only when the correct language is set in the user preferences (en for English Wikipedia, pt for Portuguese Wikipedia, etc). If other language is set (en for Portuguese Wikipedia, pt for English Wikipedia, etc), it will fail to log in. Francisco talk contrib 22:05, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Asterisk

Why is the "asterisk" showing in the boxes in the top right, if no edit summary has been made? Also, it covers the number of edits (like 2, 3, etc.) and makes it hard to see which number it is. Maybe it could be vertically aligned differently, rather than centered over the number? --Funandtrvl (talk) 18:51, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The same thing is appearing when I use Huggle. Also, the (HG) isn't appearing in my reverts. ~NerdyScienceDude 19:42, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The * means automated assisted summary. Something has gone wrong in the regex or matching.... And the (HG) isn't appearing for now because I removed it in the project config. Sidonuke 20:37, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like Iridescent added it back. ~NerdyScienceDude 00:52, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Won't go into a edit war over it. So be it. Revolution is coming. Sidonuke 00:54, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Bad Word" Filter

Would it be possible to add a "bad word" filter? Such a filter would automatically detect words in diffs added that are commonly used in unconstructive edits, such as "hello," "was here," "gay," etc. Maybe make one of those colorful squares next to the article name show up in the queue? -download ׀ sign! 04:00, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You can do it at queue setting. 1. Open queue setting window from menu "Queue" => "Manage Queues". 2. Click "Add". 3. check "Load diffs for every revision in the queue". 4. switch to "Revision content" tab. 5. Set there regex, for example ([Hh]ello|was here|[Gg]ay) 6. Close queue window by clicking "OK" button. This would work. --Was a bee (talk) 04:40, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Changing warning templates from final back to last

Should Huggle change the final warning templates back to last warning? Wayne Olajuwon chat 20:25, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also Huggle keeps having problems. Here's the error:
  NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

It also doesn't show anymore edits that I could possibly revert. Wayne Olajuwon chat 23:08, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Double Reverting?

I've already done this twice today... doesn't the option to revert get grayed out if someone else has already reverted? Is it just my internet connection? -download ׀ sign! 21:45, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes HG does not update too rapidly when ClueBot reverts. And, it just about never updates when a revert is done by Twinkle. Best to always check each of your reverts before you leave the page by opening it in a browser. It only adds between 30 and 60 seconds to the transaction. — SpikeToronto 05:25, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The main pane has the edits mesed up

Note how paragraphs are being shifted upwards on top of each other

Yesterday when I used Huggle, it looked fine. Now, where it shows the differences in the article, all the differences are stacked on top of each other, making it impossible to read the article. I have tried rebooting Huggle, rebooting my computer, deleting the configs, and resetting the configuration file under my user page. Nothing seems to fix it. Does anybody know what I should do to fix this? Reaper Eternal (talk) 10:42, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

When Huggle wasn't working for you guys, did you guys receive this: Huggle has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.? Wayne Olajuwon chat 18:13, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Not in this instance. Huggle doesn't want to shut down, it just doesn't display the article text properly. Now I find that I can copy and paste the text to a word doc and read the complete edit. Strange stuff Tiderolls 18:16, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I’ve received no error messages either. Alternatively TideRolls, you can open the diff in a browser by pressing the button. Then, review the diff and, should it need reversion, use HG to do the job. — SpikeToronto 18:27, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know why Huggle wants to shut down for me because it has some problem and I don't know what it is. Plus, I can't even keep up with some users to beat them to vandalism. Huggle needs to be faster. Wayne Olajuwon chat 18:48, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested change to one revert message

Currently, one of the revert message options is "(Reverted addition of unsourced negative content to a biographical article (HG))." Could I suggest we change this slightly? Since WP:BLP applies in all articles (actually, in all spaces, including userspace), could we change it to refer to the content, instead of to the article type? That is, make it say something more like "(Reverted addition of unsourced negative content about a living person per WP:BLP)". Qwyrxian (talk) 03:37, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

browser

forgive me if this is not the correct place to ask technical questions about huggle. it would be quite convenient to be able to click a link and have it open in the program or, preferably, a new tab in my browser; currently clicking links appears to do nothing. alternately, the "view in external browser button would suffice, but it always opens internet explorer while firefox is my default browser. i took a glance through the options but failed to find any settings for these features. does anyone know any solutions? cheers WookieInHeat (talk) 01:57, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

SLOW!!!

huggle is working VERY slowly for me lately, if at all. it works for about 10 - 15 minutes before it won't advance to the next revision, when it does manage to advance the features work intermittently (i.e. won't revert or reverts but doesn't indicate it has). it has been crashing on a pretty regular basis, but usually i have to restart it before that because it stops functioning. it was working fine since i started using it about a month ago, this just started in the past few days. any one else having similar problems? WookieInHeat (talk) 20:26, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

also, wikipedia pages are loading very slowly over the past few days. often an article or talk page will load but the wikipedia logo and links at top and left won't load for another 30 - 60 secs. i know my internet connection is fine, all other sites load normally and i have been doing regular speed tests. think this slow loading may have something to do with huggle timing out. WookieInHeat (talk) 20:38, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You people voted for Pending Changes; you only have yourselves to blame. – iridescent 20:42, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, Huggle operates on the assumption that web requests will take about 1-3 seconds. When they start taking 30-60 seconds, it becomes pretty unusable. As you have identified yourself, this is an issue with Wikipedia, not Huggle. Gurch (talk) 21:02, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
huggle timing out because wikipedia servers may be overloaded, although frustrating, is understandable. however this doesn't explain the regular lock ups and crashes, unless 20 or so page time outs makes huggle crash for some reason. WookieInHeat (talk) 21:16, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
been pinging wikipedia.org for the last ten minutes, seems to time out on the first couple requests, then requests start going through with minimal latency. this corresponds with having to advance past a few revisions (hit the spacebar) in huggle before it will load a new edit. what on earth is making wikipedia servers react so sluggishly for me? WookieInHeat (talk) 21:42, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I just told you. In their wisdom, the devs are now running a spectacularly cack-handed script which the servers can't cope with, and it's slowed every Wikipedia process down to a crawl. Get used to it, since the Defenders Of The Wiki are going to keep holding the "should we keep this feature?" vote until it gives them the result they want. – iridescent 22:34, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed on your huggle.css that your preload setting is at a low setting of 2. Try setting it to 5. You can do this by loading up Huggle, going up to the toolbar and clicking "System", then in the list clicking "Options". In the "General" tab, which should already be showing for you, make sure that the "Enable preloading of diffs" box is checked, and change the number next to that option to 5. This should speed things up quite a bit for you. The Thing // Talk // Contribs 14:17, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

excellent, thank you for taking the time to check that out, although the problem seems to have cleared up on its own. for about three days huggle was working excruciatingly slow and crashing every ten minutes, then whatever the problem was just magically cleared itself up. but thanks for going out of your way to assist me none the less. cheers WookieInHeat (talk) 14:44, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Changing that value will do nothing to speed up anything when the issue is response times from the wiki itself; indeed, it will likely make things even slower in such cases. Gurch (talk) 17:02, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Whitelist

It says:

  • This is a list of users whose contributions may be ignored while searching for vandalism. It is updated automatically by Huggle.

Instead of maintaining a long list of users, just check the account age. If its older than 30 or 90 days, thats good enough. --Matt57 (talkcontribs) 14:14, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No—some of our most die-hard POV-pushers go back years, and any self-respecting vandal has a big stash of ripened socks. – iridescent 14:25, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The actual reason for doing this is that maintaining a list of users is significantly faster and more efficient than checking the account age of every contributor as they edit (one large request at startup versus hundreds of small requests during the session). Gurch (talk) 16:02, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Profanity highlighting

Another anti-vandal tool, igloo, highlights profanity added in the edit in pink, such as shit, penis, ass, emoticons such as :), and even repeating characters, such as ggggggggggggggggggg. I think Huggle should do the same thing. ~NerdyScienceDude 03:18, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh it's alright, if you're eagle-eyed enough, you should spot it anyway... ;) Orphan Wiki 09:43, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Text changed by the edit is already highlighted. Multiple types and colors of highlighting may lead to confusion. In addition, instances of vandalism containing words like "shit" and "penis" are usually easy to spot, and "gggggggggggggggg" even more so; in five years I still have yet to come across an instance of a user adding a coherent, useful paragraph of text whilst slipping "penis" in the middle somewhere, which would be about the only situation where such a feature would be of significance. Gurch (talk) 10:01, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not warning vandals

On the computer I am currently using, Huggle's log shows that it is not warning vandals, because they haven't edited since their latest warning, yet they have.

Nothing new. The situation is as described. Just ignore it, and continue your work, it shouldn't happen regularly. Orphan Wiki 21:12, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Huggle crashing

If I use Shift + P for a keyboard shortcut for Request Protection, huggle crashes with a error message: "Huggle has encountered a error and needs to Close. If you were in the middle of something any changes may be lost." Is there a technical reason why Shift + P causes huggle to crash? Thank you, --Alpha Quadrant talk 19:49, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

New Templates

I was wondering if it would be possible over time to add the following to Huggle's list of templates:

Thanks! — SpikeToronto 20:38, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why would you warn someone for reverting themselves? Gurch (talk) 22:22, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The self-revert template is for those IP editors who are testing the vandalism waters by making vandalizing edits, and then reverting them. That way they don't get blocked. But, if you hit them with {{Uw-selfrevert}}, it usually stops them messing about since they know that recent changes patrollers are on to them. Edits like that still slow us down because we have to stop and deliberate over the edit to determine if it is vandalism. The self revert template reduces the frequency of these types of edits and thus reduces the number of them that we have to look at. The template is not used for someone who reverts themselves because they messed up an edit. G-d knows I do that all the time! — SpikeToronto 22:35, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You can do both yourself...
  • For the non-counting ones, you can add existing ones by editing your huggle.css file. See User:Ronhjones/huggle.css for example - they then appear when you click the 3rd button (red blob - "revert this revision [R]"). Note that this file can get re-written if you change preferences within Huggle or there's a new version - which has to write the version number in it. When that happens I have to revert it back and do any necessary changes manually.
  • For the counting ones, you need to create the templates like those shown at Template:Huggle and then edit Wikipedia:Huggle/Config to add them in.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 21:50, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wow! I don’t understand anything you’ve said! But, I know that it means that you’ve given me a solution … now, I just have to figure it out … Thanks Ron! — SpikeToronto 19:48, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This happened with Huggle 0.9.6 as well; I have never logged in successfully. Can anyone assist me here? Thanks. —Justin (koavf)TCM20:39, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your .NET runtimes maybe corrupted or something. I suggest reinstalling .NET. Google it for more info. Sidonuke 21:44, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks I just ran it as an administrator and it worked. Thanks. —Justin (koavf)TCM22:32, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reverts my edits

Huggle has wiped out my edits four times now.

Fifth Amendment, Hanson, Massachusetts, Neologism and Radiology.

Are there any plans to fix that bug? Slightsmile (talk) 02:42, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Trying to figure out what I'm seeing here, Everything seems to be working fine. Sidonuke 18:59, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]


The problem is that huggle isn't realizing that the edit was already reverted; there have been issues with this in the past, despite the fact that there are built-in safeguards against this. Calvin 1998 (t·c) 22:31, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This is a bug but for the most part it doesn't seem to be causing major havoc. I can't repo this for the life of me, so It's hard to fix. Sidonuke 08:09, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Localization setting

During translation of Huggle into Japanese, I found some point. Some are I think important, some are not so. I list here along its priorities.

  • 1. Settings of "ja.wikipedia.org" and "language ja" are not included in Huggle itself. Now installation of Huggle is very complex for beginners :s
Please add this file(ja.txt) to this folder(Localization), and please add here a line ja.wikipedia;http://ja.wikipedia.org/, like this file(DefaultLocalConfig.txt)
  • 2. Documentation link and Feedback link is fixed to en.wikipedia. Not all people can read English and some settings must be solved at local project (e.g. templates, edit summries)
  • 3.I found 9 strings that is not translated, but translation setteings are exist. I list that here.

I don't hope everything solved. But only first point is very needed xo Now nobody can install Huggle by myself. --Was a bee (talk) 05:28, 19 October 2010 (UTC) (rewrite) --05:52, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Content disappearing

Why does the content disappear when I try to edit a page? This is a bug. Wayne Olajuwon chat 21:01, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Can you provide an example, diff, screenshot? Thanks Sidonuke 08:11, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
When I tried to edit a page the content just disappears such as I tried to do to my talk page. I had click show difference to tell that all of the content just disappeared. Wayne Olajuwon chat 16:52, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Starting problem

This new version of huggle has problems starting. When I try to log in, it says "unable to log in" although the password, project and username are correct, just as they were with earlier versions. Is it only me, or is this some common, known bug? DARTH SIDIOUS 2 (Contact) 12:29, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have discovered why this message has appeared. The program works only when the correct language is set in the user preferences (en for English Wikipedia, pt for Portuguese Wikipedia, etc). If other language is set (en for Portuguese Wikipedia, pt for English Wikipedia, etc), it will fail to log in. Francisco talk contrib 22:05, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Asterisk

Why is the "asterisk" showing in the boxes in the top right, if no edit summary has been made? Also, it covers the number of edits (like 2, 3, etc.) and makes it hard to see which number it is. Maybe it could be vertically aligned differently, rather than centered over the number? --Funandtrvl (talk) 18:51, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The same thing is appearing when I use Huggle. Also, the (HG) isn't appearing in my reverts. ~NerdyScienceDude 19:42, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The * means automated assisted summary. Something has gone wrong in the regex or matching.... And the (HG) isn't appearing for now because I removed it in the project config. Sidonuke 20:37, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like Iridescent added it back. ~NerdyScienceDude 00:52, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Won't go into a edit war over it. So be it. Revolution is coming. Sidonuke 00:54, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Bad Word" Filter

Would it be possible to add a "bad word" filter? Such a filter would automatically detect words in diffs added that are commonly used in unconstructive edits, such as "hello," "was here," "gay," etc. Maybe make one of those colorful squares next to the article name show up in the queue? -download ׀ sign! 04:00, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You can do it at queue setting. 1. Open queue setting window from menu "Queue" => "Manage Queues". 2. Click "Add". 3. check "Load diffs for every revision in the queue". 4. switch to "Revision content" tab. 5. Set there regex, for example ([Hh]ello|was here|[Gg]ay) 6. Close queue window by clicking "OK" button. This would work. --Was a bee (talk) 04:40, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Changing warning templates from final back to last

Should Huggle change the final warning templates back to last warning? Wayne Olajuwon chat 20:25, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also Huggle keeps having problems. Here's the error:
  NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
  at Huggle.Misc.FindString(String Source, String From, String To)
  at Huggle.Processing.ProcessRc(String Result)
  at Huggle.Requests.RcApiRequest.Done()
  at Huggle.Requests.Request.ThreadDone()
  at Huggle.Misc.CallbackInvoke(Object TargetObject) 

It also doesn't show anymore edits that I could possibly revert. Wayne Olajuwon chat 23:08, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Double Reverting?

I've already done this twice today... doesn't the option to revert get grayed out if someone else has already reverted? Is it just my internet connection? -download ׀ sign! 21:45, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes HG does not update too rapidly when ClueBot reverts. And, it just about never updates when a revert is done by Twinkle. Best to always check each of your reverts before you leave the page by opening it in a browser. It only adds between 30 and 60 seconds to the transaction. — SpikeToronto 05:25, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The main pane has the edits mesed up

Note how paragraphs are being shifted upwards on top of each other

Yesterday when I used Huggle, it looked fine. Now, where it shows the differences in the article, all the differences are stacked on top of each other, making it impossible to read the article. I have tried rebooting Huggle, rebooting my computer, deleting the configs, and resetting the configuration file under my user page. Nothing seems to fix it. Does anybody know what I should do to fix this? Reaper Eternal (talk) 10:42, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Same here - Happysailor 12:35, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm seeing the same problem...looks to be a rendering issue. Did Microsoft change something in their libraries? --Alan the Roving Ambassador (talk) 16:13, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
My screen has squashed text as well. I lack the technical wherewithal to address the issue; there seems to be no discussion re: this on irc. Tiderolls 16:16, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Same here. I tried late last night (approx. 2:00AM EST) and had the same mess. I tried re-installing, in case the program itself had become corrupted, and deleted all the config files. No help. — SpikeToronto 17:05, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
When Huggle wasn't working for you guys, did you guys receive this: Huggle has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.? Wayne Olajuwon chat 18:13, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Not in this instance. Huggle doesn't want to shut down, it just doesn't display the article text properly. Now I find that I can copy and paste the text to a word doc and read the complete edit. Strange stuff Tiderolls 18:16, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I’ve received no error messages either. Alternatively TideRolls, you can open the diff in a browser by pressing the button. Then, review the diff and, should it need reversion, use HG to do the job. — SpikeToronto 18:27, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know why Huggle wants to shut down for me because it has some problem and I don't know what it is. Plus, I can't even keep up with some users to beat them to vandalism. Huggle needs to be faster. Wayne Olajuwon chat 18:48, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm still getting the squashed text too. Using IE8. --Funandtrvl (talk) 19:56, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
