Hmm maybe its just a case of someone pretending? Copying the edit cummary, changing the anmes and adding (HG) to the end? xD ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 09:01, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You can't run huggle w/out logging in, that's for sure. I suppose one definitive way is to checkuser the IP and look at the user-agent and see if it's a browser or huggle (huggle has it's own user-agent). But no checkuser would do that... But I'm pretty sure that anons can't use huggle OR get rollback. Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 20:12, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yep the ip had the user agent huggle meaning we has another bug to fix again >.< ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 21:09, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So they were using Huggle? This is a serious problem. Enigma ^message 21:53, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes they WERE using huggle. I have a huntch that it is probably just a cookie went wrong or something or these 2 edits or something and this is acctually a 100% legit user but all of that will hopfullybe found out for sure. ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 21:55, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's me I'm afraid. I was logged in, but Huggle froze momentarily while I was reverting and registered my reverts by my IP adress (there were two - [2], not my username (my IP's shared btw, which is why I always use my account). I didn't know what happened, but it seemed to correct itself afterwards. Sorry :(. I really didn't mean to cause any trouble or anything. For some reason Huggle was playing up for me, and I didn't know what was happening. TheSuave 22:29, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK then. Now we have to find out what in the code is causing this... (it's a known problem). Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 22:31, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is there anything else I can do to help? TheSuave 23:09, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unless you happen to be proficient in VB.NET and have access to Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and a Subversion client, I don't think so. Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 23:25, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do you remember what happened when these edits came out? Anything weired happen? ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 07:44, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For some reason, when I was reverting those two edits, Huggle completely froze (I couldn't press any other buttons or exit the program). It froze for about 7 seconds and then made my reversions but registered them by my IP address and not my username. The edits I made afterwards were fine, but on those two edits it froze and didn't register my username. Hope that helps. TheSuave 12:06, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is also happening to me right now [3]. It only occurs when I revert and warn - just reverting is ok (although the only reverts I did were on myself in the sandbox). Started happening after I restarted Huggle shortly after closing it. Nothing strange seemed to happen, although the log at the bottom of the Huggle window did not update when I issued the revert+warn (oh and the warning never showed up on the vandals page). THEN WHO WAS PHONE? (talk) 15:38, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have the same thing. I had Huggle running and then accidentally clicked on "logout" in Firefox and logged in back again but since then Huggle uses my IP for reverts until I restart it. So Why 22:53, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm is there any reason for this section to still be here? ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 17:04, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bug 1 - Href

Previously reported in Wikipedia:Huggle/Feedback#Bugs:

I found an error in this example (look at edit summary: Href= is not a user). It happens sometimes wen I try to revert consecutive edits by 2 or 3 different editors (not specific editors, just anyone). I'm using version 0.7.12

It seems "Href=" problem happens in any edit, doesn't matter witch users/edits/pages, doing the following sequence for example:

I'm seeing 1 diff (Huggle shows 2 edits of the page - 2 colored boxes)
I see in "User" field the correct user
I click in "show previous revision of this page (Z)" button
I see in "User" field the value "Href="
I click again in "show previous revision of this page (Z)" button
I see in "User" field the value "Href="
I click again in "show next revision of this page (X)" button
I see in "User" field the value "Href="
Except the last one edit, if I see others diffs from previous edits - clicking in those little colored boxes in History bar, It happens the same.

But (after doing those previous steps):

If I click in "History" button to retrieve all page history, its all fine: browsing history clicking in those little colored boxes or navigating through "show previous revision of this page (Z)" and "show next revision of this page (X)" buttons. Mosca (talk)

In version 0.8.1 it's not anymore "Href=". Now shows Io:Mosca (not yet written) or Io:Mosca (Mosca it's just an user example) in user field. For anonymous edits shows Ribui%C3%A7%C3%B5es/201.3.223.128 instead of 201.3.223.128. May be it's because of pt:Especial:Contribuições/201.3.223.128 special page name in portuguese, equivalent to Special:Contributions/201.3.223.128. Like in previous version, this can be "fixed" if I click in "History" button in Huggle. Mosca (talk) 22:32, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bug 2 - Last diff

Note: this bug sometimes happen, not always, don't know why. So the following description is when it "happens". Until now always happened, but I verified it again and it doesn't! Huggle must be joking!

When I see 1 diff (Huggle loads only last 2 edits to that page):

I click on "Show previous revision of this page" button and it shows me the correct diff
I click on "Show next revision of this page" button and doesn't shows me the last edit again (the first I saw), stays on previous diff.

But there are 2 situations where I can see the last diff again:

If I click in "History" button to retrieve all page history Its all working well, and I can see the last edit/diff, even if I browsed throw history
If I click in the previous little box/edit with right mouse button.

Suggestion 2 - Grey list

Option to always show certain users in "Filtered changes", although they are in White List because Huggle adds them automatically. Could be in another list "Grey List" or something. Can be useful if we want to patrol certain users like "Commons Delinker" with a lot of edits or others users each wikipedia project could choose. This option is for those projects Huggle communities/projects who decide to automatically add users with more than XX edits but at the same time exclude from filter some users witch have those edits.

Suggestion 3 - Google search

Add option in context menu (menu that is shown when we click with right mouse button) while we have text selected on diff panel to search in Goggle if is a copy from somewhere (copyright violations, etc). Note: if we select ABS G DG DGF, should search "ABS G DG DGF" to find an exact phrase.

Just wondering, In the edit form or in the diff viewer? ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 08:48, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Selecting text in Diff viewer on Huggle (while checking revisions) and search Google (or any other) on external browser. Mosca (talk) 18:44, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Adding to google code issue tracker. ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 17:04, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion 8 - improved history

In "contributions bar" where it shows those little colored boxes, should have a little extra space if previous contributions where made some time ago (1 week for example).

Example: user X made the following edits:
- 1 June article A
- 1 June article B
- 15 June article C
- 30 June article D
- 1 August article E
- 18 August article F
- 20 August article G
Contributions bar:
Note: I'm suggesting only acording to last edits, and not according to all edits. It's not necessary and would be a mess (or may be not):

This idea could be in "History" too, showing a little extra space between recent edits and previous edits made a week before. I think this idea is only useful to see if an anonymous user made vandalism recently to other pages. It's not important to see differences more than 1 week before because most IP change regularly, and the same IP can be used to good faith edits and bad faith edits.

The date of edit is shown in the 'tooltip' that appears when you hold the mouse over the icons. Putting in gaps would be quite difficult to do, and would only visualize what the tooltip already shows.

User warning messages - "Thanks."

In the messages that Huggle warns, at the end is a short "Thanks." Since most user warnings end with "Thank you," and since Wikipedia is kind of a formal place, I thought of the idea that at the end of a message Huggle leaves on a user's talk page, "Thanks" should be changed to "Thank you." SchfiftyThree 23:59, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done Even though the contention that Wikipedia is a formal place and the one that "Thank you." is better than "Thanks" can be disputed, I went BOLD and changed all of the Template:Huggle subpages to implement this. Changes should start taking place immediately Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 00:18, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While on that...can someone put all 3 of the unsourced template messages and also the final generic message under the warn option? I find myself warning a lot for that, and I know an unsourced warning is under the templates to send to user, but that only does one level, and several times yesterday I had to go to the unsourced templates (linked earlier) to manually raise the warning level, instead of easily clicking the warning button on Huggle. Ctjf83Talk 01:52, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a little wary of the idea that someone can be blocked merely for adding unsourced content to pages -- Gurch (talk) 08:33, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well said, Gurch, but this would happen only if the user chose to continue inserting unsourced content, thus ignoring warnings. To me this amounts to vandalism. From my experience users (especially anonymous ones) who behave this way nearly always turn out to be true vandals or fail to accept a key Wikipeda policy, WP:SOURCE that is. There are users who seem to enjoy inserting wrong or questionable details, e. g. about a person's sexual preference, or simply *facts* which are completely wrong but tend to get overlooked by people not familiar with a certain subject. Cheers! --Catgut (talk) 20:52, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So that being said....are you going to add these options to the warn template or no? Ctjf83Talk 21:23, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Flagged revisions

Hi.

Thank you for this very nice tool. It is used more and more often on the German Wikipedia. But on de-WP we use Flagged Revisions, so it would be nice to have a button in order to mark a version as "sighted" and go to the next edit. The Russian Wikipedia also uses flagged revisions. --Euku 15:53, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Heyho,
is it possible to integrate in Huggle, that in german wikipedia users do automatic sight a version, when next version in tab on the left side get clicked? Another button is senceful, to skip version, without sighting. That would be very excellent, for this at this time much excellent tool! Greetings from Dresden, Conny (talk) 08:59, 29 August 2008 (UTC).[reply]

Wikipedia:Flagged_revisions is turned on on german wikipedia. Conny (talk) 09:01, 29 August 2008 (UTC).[reply]

On the no-wiki we use a (similar) system. Every edits done by IPs and other newcomers get tagged with a red exclamation mark (! – like the third line in this picture) and patrollers/administrators can press a button "Merk som patruljert" saying the edit has been patrolled (Patrol log [4]). Adding an icon that sends a a press to this button would be great (ex. this edit I marked patrolled by sending this [5]!). Nsaa (talk) 22:23, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And en.wikipedia uses a 'patrolling' system, but only for new pages. If only everyone could settle on the same system, rather than using three different MediaWiki extensions. I will have to implement them all... -- Gurch (talk) 09:52, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is it possible to only add a key shortcut (config page?) to mark a version patrolled and show the ! in the window? (for the no-version). Nsaa (talk) 12:08, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry but I dont quite get what you mean. ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 17:00, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In no. non-patrolled edits show up with a red "!" in Special:Recentchanges. The rest of the request I don't really get either. Calvin 1998 ^(t·c) 22:07, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Security question

I often use a not so secure wifi connection to access Wikipedia. I do not feel secure typing in much of any password on it. Is there any way we could use secure.wikimedia for this tool - or would that be too heavy on the server? Magog the Ogre (talk) 15:14, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd suggest creating an alternate account for insecure connections (this is an explicitly-allowed legitimate use for a sock account). – iride scent 15:17, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. Would you be willing to grant me rollback rights on it? And I'm still looking to see if there is any interest in the secure thing - it would help administrators too. Magog the Ogre (talk) 15:24, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The problem with the secure server is that it's very slow. This makes it somewhat undesirable for dealing with vandalism -- Gurch (talk) 16:00, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll give you rollback on it; register the account and then request it from me with your main account (so I know you're not an impersonator). It would be a good idea to either redirect the talkpage to your own talkpage, or put a {{User Alternate Acct|Magog the Ogre}} on it, so someone with any problem knows who to contact.( – iride scent 19:29, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've added support for the secure server to my list of things to do but it's quite low priority at the moment -- Gurch (talk) 09:27, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

speedy delete dialog box bug

In 0.8.1 version I got one problem. When I click in button "tag this page" and then click "Speedy..." button. Dialog box/window it's fine, but if I choose a Reason in drop-down menu, "OK" and "Cancel" buttons are placed under reason field and I almost can't click on those buttons (got to be very precise clicking on a 2 pixels button). If I choose another template in reason drop menu again, I can't do nothing besides closing that dialog box because I don't see buttons and reason drop down menu. They are placed under title dialog box. Mosca (talk) 11:43, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
