Auto confirmed to Confirmed.

Hi, I have applied at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Confirmed thrice but every time it says already done.I have 150+ edits and have more than a years experience on wiki although for the first 8 months or so, I was inactive but after that I have been active continuously. Kindly help.Thank you.Bingobro(Contributions)

@Bingobro: Autoconfirmed and confirmed are one and the same. Go to Special:Preferences and look for "member of groups" under "Basic information", and you should see "Autoconfirmed users". What is making you think you are not confirmed? Is there a page you are unable to edit? — MusikAnimal talk 13:56, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yup, I can't edit a few pages such as Cars (franchise) and some others. Any more requirements needed? Any problems? Please help.Bingobro(Contributions) —Preceding undated comment added 14:02, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nope, you should definitely be able to edit that page. Do you see a "View source" tab instead of "Edit"? — MusikAnimal talk 14:11, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, it says view source and a few other pages show im just fine. Im new here so thought it was some difference between Confirmed and Autoconfirmed. Bingobro(Contributions)

FYI, my autoconfirmed user, Xaosflux_ep works right when trying to edit that page. — xaosflux Talk 15:54, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Well for starters, I see you're using Twinkle, which only (auto)confirmed users can use. I'm not sure what to tell you... we could try manually confirming your account, but that literally will make no changes to your already autoconfirmed account. Could you try the link Xaosflux provided that directly goes to the edit interface [1]? Have you enabled any gadgets? — MusikAnimal talk 16:04, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So, I've stopped using twinkle still no change! And the lin once opened says this page is semi protected so that only autoconfirmed users can edit it.Well I am autoconfirmed? Then why this? .I've even removed my user page's Twinkle top icon.Bingobro(Contributions)

For what it's worth, xtools shows that you're autoconfirmed. I suppose it would be possible to manually add you as "confirmed" (it won't actually change anything) but clearly the fact you're able to use Twinkle means you're in the system as autoconfirmed. Try clearing your cache, logging out, and then logging back in? Primefac (talk) 14:03, 11 August 2017 (UTC) (talk page stalker)[reply]
I've tried everything you mentioned but still no help?Bingobro(Contributions) —Preceding undated comment added 14:16, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Bingobro: I've temporarily added the confirmed flag to your account for the purposes of debugging. Let me know if you are now able to edit Cars (franchise) and others. Please try within the next 24 hours, afterwards the confirmed status will automatically be removed (but you will still be autoconfirmed) — MusikAnimal talk 20:45, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes,finally I'm able to edit thank you!Bingobro(Contributions) —Preceding undated comment added 10:24, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm OK, well I'm still going to let the confirmed flag expire. This is standard procedure, where we removed "confirmed" from any autoconfirmed account. I'm currently at Wikimania, so if come tomorrow are still having problems, I can talk to some other tech folks here and further debug this issue. Glad to hear you can edit for the time being, though! :) — MusikAnimal talk 14:35, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If you ask me, this is likely because you didn't purge your cache. Try emptying your cache next time.—CYBERPOWER (Chat) 14:38, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The user said they see the "View source" tab instead of "Edit". This does not involve JavaScript or templating, rather the check on user permissions happens on the backend at runtime and sets the markup accordingly, so I doubt it's related to caching. Certainly doesn't hurt to try, though! Bingobro, see Wikipedia:Bypass your cache on how to do this — MusikAnimal talk 14:42, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Normally yes, and when applied via permissions, is immediately accessible. However autoconfirmed happens automatically, and when I was autoconfirmed, I couldn't edit semi-protected pages until my cache was purged.—CYBERPOWER (Chat) 15:14, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

God!, really? now even the bypass your cache article says View Source when opened it says this article is semi-protected so, only auto confirmed users can edit it.And no improvement still view source.Although thanks everyone.Bingobro(Contributions) I'm still not able to edit semi protected pages.Bingobro(Contributions) —Preceding undated comment added 08:48, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Bingobro: I really don't know what to tell you :( At one point yesterday, your account had the "confirmed" flag, and you said you cleared your cache and the "View source" tab appeared again. So we know for sure the issue is not with permissions on your account. Looking at Special:PrefixIndex/User:Bingobro/, it seems you have no user scripts installed. The only thing I can think of is that there's some conflicting gadget, so let's try loading Cars (franchise) in safemode. Do you see an "Edit" tab? — MusikAnimal talk 15:06, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, yesterday when I had the Confirmed flag I was able to edit the Cars (franchise) article however the clear your cache article still said view source.Bingobro(Contributions) 15:16, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Bypass your cache is semi-protected, just like Cars (franchise). If you can edit one, you should be able to edit the other. Did safemode work for you? — MusikAnimal talk 15:19, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, not even safe mode. I think i'll just leave it and continue to edit unprotected pages. Bingobro(Contributions) 15:25, 13 August 2017 (UTC) Ok, forget what I said and also forgive me for it.I really need some help here!.Bingobro(Chat) 15:25, 14 August 2017 (UTC) I went down to Request for permisions/confirmed to seek help again by another admin or something and all I got was your bots automated response.Please help you really are my last hope! Bingobro(Chat) 15:25, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks man, you really helped with issue! Even though it hasn't yet been solve , here you go. Bingobro(Chat) 10:27, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Aw, thanks! It was my utmost pleasure to assist you, and I'm sorry I wasn't able to figure it out. The folks at VPT are already on to something, it seems. You're not the only one with this problem! I hope it gets sorted out! — MusikAnimal talk 16:08, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The "Preview" section

Hi MusikAnimal, I was wondering if you could help with a technical problem. Maybe others have already brought it up. When I am editing, and I click on the "preview" button, the script reverts back to the top of the page (like it used to years ago), causing me to have to scroll down to find where I was editing. I assume this is now happening with everyone. Can it be repaired? Johnsmith2116 (talk) 10:40, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm yeah maybe that was a recent change, but this should be desired behaviour, no? The purpose of "Preview" is to review the content. It would then seem helpful that it auto-scrolls you to the content — MusikAnimal talk 14:39, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I think you're talking about two different things. OP is talking about the edit window, which used to stay at the line you were editing. Now, when you edit a big page somewhere in the middle, and hit "preview", it reverts to the top of the edit window instead of staying where the last edit was made. Primefac (talk) 14:47, 12 August 2017 (UTC) (talk page stalker)[reply]
Yes, I meant the edit window, sorry. It really would help if it would stay in place to save time and effort. Johnsmith2116 (talk) 19:18, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Bah, I see. Hmm, I don't know if that's a new bug or what. I tried searching on Phabricator but didn't find an existing task, but I can help you write a new one :) I would first bring this up at WP:VPT, though. People there might know more, when it started happening, etc. Also, I highly recommend User:Anomie/ajaxpreview, which will not only make previewing faster, but will also retain your scroll position in the edit window — MusikAnimal talk 20:14, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
