One too many[edit]

I think I installed your tool twice by accident because everything is on there twice. How do I uninstall one of them? Sooner Dave 05:25, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've had the same problem for a while but I have no idea how I would have installed it twice. Does anyone notice anything that would cause this in my monobook.js? --Michael White^T·C 15:10, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you have included VoA's monobook. This already includes this tool, I believe. Lupin|talk|popups 08:06, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User box needed[edit]

How about a user box? Just installed it and expect to use it regularly. Will (Talk - contribs) 06:08, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

question[edit]

How does the non-admin rollback work?is it a way to re-load the original draft of an article or comment before it was vandlized? Best regards Nadirali 08:19, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It gets the last revision before the last editor edited (I don't think I explained that well :) ), then saves that and adds a nice summary. example Xiong Chiamiov :: contact :: 03:50, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

question2[edit]

I have tried to use Anti-vandal tool on ro.wp but it didn't work (here on en.wp it worked). Why ? Do I have to change the name space: User to Utilizator, Talk to Discuţie, .... ? What else do I have to change ? Why the script is not shown the same as yours, please see mine [1]. :-) Thanks --Pixi 08:09, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New warning templates[edit]

See WP:UTM. Cheers. --Brad Beattie (talk) 21:51, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Problem with Anti-vandal rollback[edit]

I'm having some trouble with the anti-vandal rollback (non-admin). Whenever I try to use it , no matter the circumstances, it gives me the following error message:

"Page rollback error: Last editor is <>, not <>. The user may have already been reverted.".

Even if this isn't the case. I'm not sure how to fix this... nothing has changed for me. I'm using Windows XP SP2, Firefox 2.0.0.1. --Elar a girl^Talk|Count 10:32, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please try installing popups and see if it makes the problem disappear. Lupin|talk|popups 08:08, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tried that, nothing. Could you glance at my monobook.js and see if something is screwed?--Elar a girl^Talk|Count 05:42, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, and sorry for wasting your time on this. It was a stupid bug which should be fixed in the latest version. Lupin|talk|popups 07:55, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback Tools Have Disappeared[edit]

Hello Lupin. Recently something strange has developed with the script for me. I have all the functionalities of the tool that normally would be there, but now I am missing all the rollback links. I am using IE 7 as a browser, just as I have in the past. Is this a recent bug with the tool or is my browser bugging with the script?¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 02:45, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Switching my browser to Firefox seems to solve the issue.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 04:25, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback links appear for me in IE7. Lupin|talk|popups 01:15, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've also noticed increasingly less functionality with IE7, which is unfortunately what my work computer uses. Still works on Firefox, though. Any chance you find a way to make it work on IE? Coemgenus 19:16, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've just tested the script briefly with IE7 and didn't notice anything amiss - I could filter recent changes, perform non-admin rollback and warn successfully. What is giving you trouble? Lupin|talk|popups 01:15, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

When I hit "rollback," nothing happens. Coemgenus 22:56, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What is live spell check?[edit]

what is live spell check?

Ps: thanks for the great tool! --'•Tbon e 55•^{(Talk) (Contribs) (UBX) (autographbook)} 02:45, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's similar to filter recent changes, as it checks the rss of recent changed against a list of commonly misspelled words and displays these recent changed. --24fan24 (talk) 03:03, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Are these problems caused by the tool?[edit]

I notice that I have new links in the last couple of days, so I assume that the tool has been recently changed. After the new links showed up I started to get significant browser hangs when using the tool. For example, when using the tool there are hangs when scrolling the page down, and in getting an insert cursor after clicking on the text box when issuing a warning. When I hover the mouse over a link there is often significant delay before the arrow cursor turns into a hand cursor. Sometimes when I click somewhare on the "tool page" the brower shifts focus to a completely different window.

I haven't experience these problems when not using the tool. Could these hangs be because of the tool? My browser is Firefox 1.5.0.9. Thanks. Tanaats 15:57, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The fun definitely doesn't start until I launch the tool, and then starts happening immediately, and goes away again when I drop the "tool window". Tanaats 05:42, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looking For Keywords[edit]

Does your tool automatically seek out changes like do > don't or adding 'not' or vice versa? Basically, sneaky changes to change a positive to a negative and negative to a positive? Although there will be some legitimate cases, such changes appearing on their own seem pretty suspect to me. --Seans Potato Business 18:04, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you added those words, you would get a hit every time they were used in a change, whether by themselves or with other words. It would definitely flood the tool. RJASE1 ^Talk 18:12, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is it impossible to code it so that these edits have to be alone in order to get a hit? --Seans Potato Business 20:39, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So far as I know - your best bet is probably to watch the articles you are particularly concerned about. RJASE1 ^Talk 20:48, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion[edit]

Could you add into the anti vandal tool, so that at some point during using rollback(non-admin included), preferebly on the filter recent chnges/recent changes page, there would be an option to leave a pre-defined message on the vandals talk page? there is a tool to do this, but you have to be on the talk page to use it. writing this into the code would save some time, and allow more vandalism to be reverted. the_jmac! | Talk 21:34, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a warn button on the Filter recent changes page, its to the right of the suspected vandal's user name. Currently this loads their editable talk page with {{subst:test1|Article Name}} preloaded. I do agree, it would be nice if this could be done automatically with the rollback button. I imagine that would be difficult to implement though, as you should be warning with an appropriate level (e.g. test1, test2) based on past warnings issued to that user. I gather that this is the reason why the tool is designed the way it is now. --24fan24 (talk) 21:55, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

For anyone interested, the above has been done, and can be found at User:Gzkn/recent2.js.

Quick question[edit]

Lupin, is there a particular line of text that automatically presses the save button when using rollback? i want the same to happen when using User:Gzkn/recent2.js as an add-on to your tool, could you tell me how to code this please? the_jmac! | Talk 21:54, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

nl:Gebruiker:Erwin85/AVT[edit]

Dear Lupin,

On the Dutch Wikipedia I am trying to use the "Dutch version" of your AVT. For some reason the "rollback" links in that version just won't work. Erwin85 told me to ask you for assistance, as they don't work for him either ;) I don't know about him, but I have tried both Internet Explorer 6.0 and Mozilla Firefox (latest update), so the problem seems to be somewhere inside the script... Hope you can help!

Thanks in advance! Kind regards, Erik1980 20:54, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New warning[edit]

Have you considered changing the warn message to the new {{uw-test1}}?--Kubigula (talk) 02:59, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To be fair, if we change it to the uw system, we might use {{uw-vand1}}, or maybe a link for both? Personally I have my own version of the tool that uses {{uw-test1}}, {{uw-vand1}} and {{uw-delete1}} -- lucasbfr ^talk 08:40, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see it.[edit]

I don't see the tools on my monobook.js file. Why can't I? Coastergeekperson 04 21:04, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Popups not popping[edit]

Lately, after using "Recent IP edits" for about 15 minutes or so, my browser (Firefox 2.0) will start blocking popups (meaning I can no longer revert), even though en.wikipedia.org is in my exceptions list. If I close Firefox and re-open, it'll work fine for another 15 minutes, and then block the Wikipedia popups again. Is anyone else having this problem? What could be causing it? ... discospinster _talk 00:33, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It must be a problem with your installation of firefox, it is working well here. Try uninstall, remove all the files and reinstall it. -- lucasbfr ^talk 08:42, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

broken?[edit]

The filter recent changes function is no longer working. No pages are coming through...—Gaff ^ταλκ 16:49, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And I thought it was just me! Thank you! It must be something rather subtle; neither the badwords nor the Filter recent changes pages have changed since yesterday. Philip Trueman 18:05, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't working for me last night (about 14 hours before this writing) but I chalked it up to little vandalism activity. Yet, the filter continues not to spit out pages today, and others are seeing the same. Charlie 22:00, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Some problems with the tool[edit]

I seem to be having some problems with the tool on FireFox. Whenever I have it working, after a few minutes I get an error telling me that firefox must shutdown. Wikidudeman ^(talk) 09:09, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've just encountered this same issue, starting last night, on two different computers. Both are running Firefox 2.0.0.4. --Ckatz^chat _spy 22:00, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How to use the tool?[edit]

Well a dumb question? How to use the Live spell-check tool? The page on Anti Vandal tool dosent have any information on that. Thanks. --Siddhant 11:31, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Click on "Live spellcheck" on the left in the toolbox. Wait for the misspelled words to load and then you can click on their articles and correct them.Wikidudeman ^(talk) 12:17, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well i have already tried it but when u reach the page you first need to got to "edit this page" and then find the mistake which is time consuming. How can i directly reach the editing page and if possible the wrong spelling be highlighted.

thanks. --Siddhant 11:39, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's how it must be done. Simply go to the page in question and click "edit" and if using firefox (which you should be using anyway) simply click "Ctrl+f" and type in the word and then fix it.Wikidudeman ^(talk) 20:39, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
