[edit] Mac

Any chance of a Mac OS X version of this magnificent application? I'd be very appreciate if someone could adapt an OS X version... -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 05:13, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Its has the same limitations to that of AWB - the .NET Framework. However, for AWB people have managed to get it work with WINE/mono/something on the mac.. Cant remember who, but i know its been done. —Reedy 09:53, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah but with mono you need to recompile on the platform you want use it on don't you? and we don't have the source(see above) --Chris 09:59, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Nope... Mono is just a linux/unix port/version of the .NET framework... —Reedy 13:24, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Huggle on Mac

Does anyone have detailed steps on how to use Huggle on a PowerPC (not the newer Intel ones!) Mac using Mac OS X 10.4? E.g. maybe how to set it up using WINE or something?  Atyndall93 | talk  10:18, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Supposedly a virtual PC (vmware or similar) can be used... But a lot slower... Like AWB, it will be good when mono is fully implemented for *nix. —Reedy 11:00, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Awww :-(, I wish the source was available for porting.  Atyndall93 | talk  23:30, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Speaking of which, Gurch has released the source?  Atyndall93 | talk  11:35, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

WINE cannot run .NET applications; Huggle can be made to work under Mono, but as System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser is not yet implemented by Mono viewing diffs does not work, making the whole thing rather useless --Gurchzilla (talk) 23:00, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

On Mono, I can get up to the "Please read carefully..." screen. When I click on "Continue", it crashes. :( LegoK^ontribsT^alkM 02:19, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes. I could release a version of Huggle that doesn't crash on Mono, but as I said above, you wouldn't be able to view diffs with it, making it rather pointless -- Gurch (talk) 02:16, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Feature request: multiple diffs

I know I shouldn't really be asking for features, but this (in my opinion) would be fantastic... the ability to click & drag on the page history meter in the top right corner to show multiple diffs at once. Thanks —Alex.Muller 17:05, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Do you mean a diff of multiple edits? (Showing several diffs at once would be difficult). Also note that you can right-click on a revision in the history display to compare it to the current revision Gurch (talk) 00:50, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Exactly, a diff of multiple edits - sorry, that wasn't clear. And actually, I had no idea about right-clicking on a revision, this makes me incredibly happy :D —Alex.Muller 10:05, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Displaying standard page history

I'd like to see a way to get something much like the standard page history displayed, where I can see who made the recent revisions and when they were made. I guess I'm not as comfortable as I should be with the current interface for choosing revisions, but in any complex case I find myself opening the article in a browser, examining the history page, and then reverting manually to the chosen version. A button to display the history (like the button to display the current page) would be sufficient, except that I would want to be able to use the radio buttons in the displayed window to select a diff to view. Loren.wilton (talk) 04:14, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Hovering over a revision in the history display shows the date/time and summary. The colour of the revision icon generally indicates where best to revert to (except for page blankings and the like, trusted users are blue, anonymous users are brown, other users are grey). I can make it say the user name too if that is useful. I find generally when comparing revisions in the history one either wishes to compare two successive revisions (which can be done by left-clicking in the history display) or to compare an old revision with the current one (which can be done by right-clicking) Gurch (talk) 04:40, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

The next version will have a menu option to view the standard page history. Comparing versions doesn't currently work, however -- Gurch (talk) 17:18, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Keyboard shortcuts stop working

Keyboard shortcuts, such as Q and spacebar stop working if you click in the viewing diff area. You can only continue by clicking.. Majorly (talk) 22:40, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

I've noticed this too. As a temporary solution, you can get them to start working again by clicking on one of the entries in the little log at the bottom of the screen, which switches the focus back to the Huggle main program instead of the browser window.--Dycedarg ж 23:10, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Dont click on one of the entries. Click on one of the blank boxes to the right of where the logs appear. This way nothing pop up. ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 12:47, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "OOPS" button

I think it would be helpful to have an "OOPS" button that you use when you accidentally revert something legit. It should revert your own edit and the warning you give. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:16, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

That's what the "undo" button is for --Gurchzilla (talk) 02:43, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

The Undo button is what I use, but it'd be nice to have a mechanism that'd give edit summaries of "reverting own mistaken edits - sorry!" or something along those lines, also to revert both the reversion and the warning together, if such a thing were possible. This isn't necessary, but would be useful in those stressed moments when I've just done something really stupid ;)

Also there's often queued edits, and an Oops button that would either remove them from the queue or revert them when they happen would be easier than sitting waiting for the edits to get made and then reverting them subsequently from the drop-down menu. Pseudomonas_(talk) 08:26, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Any OOPS button with a mechanism that sends out an apology would be useful. There have been at least a half-dozen times when I've clicked something and then realized that I've reverted something legit (or that was recently reverted by somebody else using Huggle who beat me to the vandalism by 0.000000534 seconds). --19:39, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

In the next version I've added a button that cancels any edits that are in progress, and reverts edits that have already been submitted but the request hasn't completed. You can also use Escape as a shortcut key. For edits where the request has already completed you can use the Undo button as before -- Gurchzilla (talk) 11:04, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

I second the request for an optional "enhanced" undo functionality that will also apologize. It may seem trivial, but a bad warning may have already been read by the user. I'd rather own and apologize for my mistakes than simply hoping they went unnoticed. Jclemens (talk) 02:25, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

A "Whoops" button would indeed be helpful. An automated apology can save tons of time explaining yourself when you make a mistake. Cheers, Perfect Proposal ^{Speak Out!} 18:48, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm not convinced that automating the process of apologizing for inappropriate automated edits is a particularly good idea. If it happens so often that the apology process needs to be automated, something is wrong -- Gurchzilla (talk) 17:34, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Undo new user talk page

When an admin uses Huggle, he/she should be offered the option of deleting a newly created user talk page, rather than tagging it for speedy deletion. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:20, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Is this with the "undo" button? I thought I'd made that simply blank newly created user talk pages rather than tagging them for deletion (as requested previously). Perhaps I did it wrongly -- Gurchzilla (talk) 00:42, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

The next version will prompt administrators to delete a page in cases where they would otherwisebe prompted to tag it for speedy deletion -- Gurchzilla (talk) 11:10, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Error Reporting

The latest version, 0.7.6 (from today) gave me a "standard" Microsoft error report when it just crashed — to Gurch, I guess: do you get the contents of these, or do they go to Microsoft? Alex.Muller 23:42, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

They go to Microsoft, though there's really no point sending them at all, as they're not going to do anything with it. I have no control over the error report dialog in such cases (something has gone more badly wrong than just an uncaught exception), though if you can remember what you were doing at the time it might help me track down and fix it. Thanks -- Gurchzilla (talk) 00:40, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't remember that one, but I'll make sure the contents of the next one go to you as well. Cheers, Alex Muller 18:44, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Same happened to me when I used it for a few minutes yesterday. It's not going to help, really, but it crashed when I hit Q during a revert on Eric Gagne. I had a few other programs open, but Huggle doesn't often crash for me. Enigma ^message 19:17, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

I've had this happen a few times (on earlier versions) and it almost always seemed to be related to an excessively large page, sometimes after running for a long period of time. I'm guessing that a new or malloc failed for allocating page space, as I was actually tight on memory at the time of the failure. Loren.wilton (talk) 22:25, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Large diffs can cause the application to freeze for a few seconds – as they do with a web browser – though actually crashing is odd -- Gurchzilla (talk) 00:27, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

I haven't had this happen recently, but when it did "several seconds" was more like 30 seconds or maybe more. Solid processor bound. In at least one cese it was a valdal creating megabyte pages to deliberately crash browsers. Seemed to work. Loren.wilton (talk) 09:57, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Edits with change sizes larger than 100,000 bytes are not added to the queue (on the assumption that they're bound to be noticed by someone else) to try to prevent this sort of thing. However, it is possible to view such edits by browing through the page history or user's contributions -- Gurch (talk) 15:56, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User Informationg Bug?

Hi Gurch,

Found a wee bug in Huggle 0.7.6 with user information. If you open the user info on an user (as I did on an IP that was adding spam links) and then close it, when you re-open the user info, it doesn't update.

I left two warnings and then checked user info, which showed them both. I then ended up leaving two further warnings but these do not show up when I now load the user info. Furhter edits made by this user also don't show up in the edit count and so I am led to believe that Huggle is not refreshing the information correctly.

Cheers, Astral (talk) 08:40, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Just an idea for a temporary remedy would be to open a new tab with one of the edits that that user made and then use the color-coded edits list located at the top-right of the screen to see if he's made any further edits. As far as I know, that feature is working with no problems. Thingg^⊕⊗ 13:43, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Haven't been able to reproduce this yet. Has it happened again since then? -- Gurch (talk) 00:57, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New save config button

Maybe we could have a save config button in the config menu so that we can save it when we push it and dont have to wait until we exit for it to save. This could help when you think it might crash e.t.c ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 07:00, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

In the next version, configration will be saved when you click "OK" on the options form -- Gurchzilla (talk) 16:28, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Assorted suggestions

I've been using Huggle for several releases, and have queued up a handful of suggestions. Herewith:

1. Put a lockout delay on the revert buttons and on the keyboard shortcuts for same, if you have live update enabled and the page you are trying to revert gets updated. When first using Huggle I was using the keyboard shortcuts, and ended up with LOTS of problems reverting the person or bot that reverted just as I hit the R key. I gave up on the keyboard and only use the buttons, because I noticed that they do grey out when a new update comes by. However, I apparently managed to revert a reversion last night even with this. Perhaps extend the lock out to 1 second or until the 'next diff' button or spacebar is hit to try to prevent this. (Note: I almost always wait for the action to complete before going on to the next diff, so I really shouldn't be having problems in queue-land.)
2. As others have asked for, some form of "I'm sorry!" undo button that will undo a warning and leave an apology. I've tried using the undo button several times, but for me it has never worked, and I've ended up opening a browser and cleaning up manually.
3. I'd like to see some of the variant reasons for CSD, like bio, band, etc. These could leave nicer warning messages for 'notify author' like "thanks, but your band isn't notable" rather than the generic "that isn't important" tag it may be leaving now. (The main reason I'd like to see the variants (in alphabetical order) is because I think in terms of those variants and then have to translate back to the more generic reasons.)
4. Reporting to pages other than AIV. Specifically, improper username blocking requests. Being able to report a page to RFPP would also be nice occasionally.
5. I use Huggle at much less than full-page size since I run a huge screen. Remembering the size and position of the page when I close it and using that size and location next time it starts would be real nice.
6. An option to remember my username (but not password) would be nice. I'm the only one using this machine, so it is safe to remember me. Probably a "remember me" checkbox on the login dialog to be consistent with how other apps do this.
7. Put CSD tagging in a menu, or on its own button that shows the droplist. CSD tagging is very slow compared to vandalism tagging since you have to go through about 4 actions to tag a CSD, vs the one click for a vandal. I should be able to do a CSD as fast as a vandalism revert where I select a message.

Thanks for considering these, Loren.wilton (talk) 23:01, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

To report to Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention, click the Report button and select "Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention" in the drop-down box. To request page protection, select "Request protection..." from the Page menu. (I have not added a button for this to the toolbar because Huggle needs to be usable with a screen resolution of 800x600, and space is limited) -- Gurchzilla (talk) 23:10, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

In the next version, username, project, recent changes source and window size and location will be remembered -- Gurchzilla (talk) 11:52, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

To summarise, 4 was already implemented, 5, 6 and 7 have now been implemented, 1 should be less of a problem now that it asks for confirmation when reverting a whitelisted user, 3 is not yet implemented but should be at some point; as for 2, Undo should now work in all situations, and the addition of the Cancel button should make things easier, but as I've said elsewhere I'm not entirely comfortable with the idea of automating the process of apologizing for mistakes made with an automated tool, especially given the complaints that have been aired about use of Huggle -- Gurchzilla (talk) 21:48, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

3 is now implemented -- Gurch (talk) 02:39, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Some problems with the translation into Spanish wikipedia...

There are some phrases that are not translated into spanish, here is an example, the summary would be "Aviso: [[Article]]" and the month is neither in spanish. Alvaro qc (talk) 01:23, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

These are both fixed in the next version -- Gurchzilla (talk) 01:44, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello, are you working in translating the program into the Spanish language now that can be used in w:es?, I might be one of several volunteers ready to translate, regards --Oscar (talk) 04:56, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

At the moment I'm not translating the interface, only the text of warning messages, edit summaries and so forth. Making the interface translatable is a possibility but would take some time -- Gurchzilla (talk) 11:01, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

I can help tpp with the translation. It is a great tool! --Lucien leGrey (talk) 13:56, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

There are some Spanish templates here. they can probably be reworded or be used as a guide. Antonio Lopez ^(talk) 16:32, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Unexpected close of Huggle

Sometimes, when I have about 4 or 5 reversions on hold and they are coming in (for the times that I get several pieces of vandalism back to back), I get the message that Huggle has encountered a fatal internal error and needs to close. Do you know of any way to fix this? Cheers, Razorflame 18:26, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Haven't experienced this myself, but if I do, I'll see what I can do about it -- Gurchzilla (talk) 18:57, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Razorflame 19:03, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Configuration changes lost on bgwiki

Hi. The templates: value is ignored by huggle 0.7.7 on bgwiki. I changed it manually in the central /Config, my huggle.css, and via huggle itself. When huggle is started next, the templates listbox is empty. Same for other settings like revert-summaries:, warning-series: and the uw-messages etc. --Петър Петров (talk) 11:37, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

The issue with templates: is fixed in the next version, not sure about the others -- Gurch (talk) 16:05, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User versions in list

I don't know if people will like this but I think it is a good idea. on Wikipedia:Huggle/Users you could automaticly add the version of huggle that they are using to the list of the version that they last used. This could be used to locate inactive people that don't use it any more and remove them from the list and many other things. ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 08:52, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Wow I didn't realise there were so many members! Yeah, I agree what you propose ——Ryan | t • c 09:51, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Also a quick query, shouldn't usernames that being with a "-" be at the top of the list? ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 09:54, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

This is fixed in the next version -- Gurchzilla (talk) 19:42, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

It's possible to locate inactive people anyway simply by looking at their contributions, or their configuration page, which for recent versions lists the version they are using -- Gurchzilla (talk) 19:42, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fatal Error on loss of connection

When you've lost your connection during a huggle session, it works fine (just can't load data), but when it tries to edit pages (like whitelist, your config subpage, etc.) after exit, it encounters one of those generic Microsoft errors... not too high priority, as most people have pretty reliable internet (unlike me)... but yeah. Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 22:37, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Login error

Hi, when i try to login, i get an error with the message "Failed to retrieve user rights". I have the new version (0.7.9) and i'm sysop on es.wiki. :S greetings. --Ctrl Z (talk) 21:08, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Umm.. yeah. It's SUL-problems. Is this when logging into en.wikipedia or es.wikipedia? Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 22:27, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Into es.wikipedia --Ctrl Z (talk) 10:38, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, Antonio Lopez can log into es.wikipedia fine, I think, so I guess we'll have to wait until Gurch comes back and reads this... Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 03:43, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Ok, it's possible that i can't login into es.wikipedia because i'm user on en.wikipedia and bg.wikipedia (user, not autoconfirmed user)?. --Ctrl Z (talk) 08:47, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Huggle was incorrectly checking for the presence of an autoconfirmed group on projects that do not have one. This should be fixed in the next version -- Gurch (talk) 00:59, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AIV bug?

I'm using version 7.9 and twice today a vandal was automatically reported to WP:AIV [1][2] despite having only received a level-2 warning. Epbr123 (talk) 00:50, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Huggle Buggle

After being told to revert a page that has only one contributor, Huggle (0.7.9) tells me that and asks whether to tag the page for speedy deletion. Great. But when I click yes, Huggle crashes and I get one of those "Huggle has encountered a problem and needs to close..." error reporting messages. When I click on "What data does this error report contain?", under "Error Signature", it says:

EventType : clr20r3 P1 : huggle.exe P2 : 0.7.9.0 P3 : 483f0a0d
P4 : mscorlib P5 : 2.0.0.0 P6 : 461eee3d P7 : 195 P8 : d
P9 : system.argumentnullexception

When I click on "What data does this error report contain?" from that window I get more (a lot more), which I can't copy and paste. I'm running Windows XP SP3 with all .NET updates. -- BlastOButter42 ^See Hear _Speak 03:38, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Well, we sure are keeping you busy...

...but would it be too much trouble to add some more warning templates to the "Advanced" window when you click on the Warn User button? I was thinking specifically {{uw-copyright}}, since that's come up at least twice in my Huggling just today, but other ones at WP:UTM I think deserve inclusion. I know many, including uw-copyright, are single-level, but that shouldn't be hard to get around -- you could just make the "Level" section gray out when you select a single-level template. -- BlastOButter42 ^See Hear _Speak 04:48, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Templates that don't have a level system can simply be added to the user templates menu (the blue "i" button). I have addded uw-copyright now; it should take effect when you restart Huggle -- Gurch (talk) 04:53, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes, but they're not all there, and I can't remember the template names for all of them, which means I have to go to WP:UTM and look it up, which takes up valuable Huggling time. But thanks for including uw-copyright. -- BlastOButter42 ^See Hear _Speak 01:29, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Which other ones do you want? I'm not going to add every template message there is, because the menu would be too big and because half of them are pointless anyway -- Gurch (talk) 02:14, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, looking at them now, the uw-speedy and uw-npa ones might be handy but other than that you're right. -- BlastOButter42 ^See Hear _Speak 11:38, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

"Personal attacks" in the warnings menu should serve the same function as {{uw-npa}}. I've added {{uw-speedy}} to the templates list, this should take effect immediately -- Gurch (talk) 01:02, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Another three suggestions

Given the volume of "unexplained blanking" reversions, would it be possible to add a single-keystroke revert-and-{{uw-delete1}} (2,3,4) alongside the current revert-and-{{uw-vand1}}? As you (Gurch) know, I've been monitoring Huggle usage & testing it recently, and people being given vandalism warnings for removal of content (which can have some perfectly legitimate reasons which aren't obvious in the diff box, in the case of BLP violations and duplicated sectons) seems to be an issue that comes up repeatedly.

Also, I personally think it would be a good idea to set "watchlist:warnings" as the default setting; the new users you're dealing with here won't necessarily understand the "reply on my talkpage" etiquette, and are likely to post any "why this edit wasn't vandalism" explanations underneath the warnings on their own talkpage. Just a thought...

And finally, is there any way to set {{anonblock}} as the default block message, at least when warning IPs? — iridescent 15:55, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

In the next version, {{anonblock}} will appear as the default block reason whenever the user's talk page is tagged as being a shared or dynamic IP address. The documentation for that template states that it shouldn't be used as the block message except for blocks longer than three months, so the default will remain the standard block message -- Gurch (talk) 17:23, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm aware of the problems with good-faith edits sometimes recieving level 1 vandalism warnings, hence the default level 1 warning avoids all mention of 'vandalism' and only states that the edit "appears to be unconstructive" (which it presumably does, at least in the eye of the reverter).

One problem with keyboard shortcuts to revert-and-warn for other reasons is that I'm starting to run out of keyboard shortcuts; given the way features have been added over time it would be more logical to start over and reassign everything from scratch, but that would confuse people no end. I'm considering adding shortcuts similar to the existing shortcuts for leaving warnings but with 'Control' included, so for example Ctrl + Shift + D for removal of content, Ctrl + Shift + S for spam, but I'm not convinced Ctrl + Shift + D is that much faster than R followed by Shift + D (the quickest way to currently do this). I could use Ctrl + D, Ctrl + S and so forth instead, but that would mean reassigning some of the existing shortcuts, and people might end up reverting and leaving warnings when they meant to nominate a page for deletion. I can't use Alt as that interferes with the menu shortcuts (which are useful since there are some actions that only have menu items). I haven't used the number keys nor any of the function keys except F1 yet, but I feel they could be difficult to remember, especially for something like reverting and warning -- Gurch (talk) 17:40, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

My fault - hadn't actually realised the R, shift-D combination. If/when you do run out of keystrokes, you could always have a double set of controls, with a "use old controls/use new controls" check bo, in the same way that MS Word has (or at least had, I don't know if it still does) a "use WordPerfect keyboard shortcuts" checkbox.

Can't you just remove the keyboard shortcuts for all but the ones that take speed (revert→warn, SD tagging, reporting, etc.)? I don't see a point in having a keyboard shortcut for everything. Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 22:52, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Well you would think so, but then just four sections above this one someone asked for a shortcut for clearing the queue... something I've never even done myself except to test it. I have to try to please everyone, and there would be complaints if some things that have shortcuts had them removed altogether -- Gurch (talk) 00:11, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Another option that wouldn't be that complicated or difficult to implement would be to allow customization of the shortcuts by the user. Thingg^⊕⊗ 00:06, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Actually it would be quite complicated. I'd have to design a GUI for it, figure out how to store it in configuration, and so forth. But I can try if you really want it -- Gurch (talk) 00:11, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

The next version will allow keyboard shortcuts to be customized -- Gurch (talk) 02:22, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Defaulting to watchlisting warnings is a possibility, though I know some people try to keep their watchlists tidy and might be a little annoyed to discover they'd inadvertently added several hundred user talk pages to it -- Gurch (talk) 01:04, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Queue sources

If it would take more than ten minutes to code then ignore this question, but would there be any way to set the Huggle shell to work on something other than recent changes? It would be really useful to be able to import a list of articles and rapidly go through the most recent diff on each - for example, the contribution history of a school IP that's made a lot of vandal edits but also some valid ones so they can't all be bulk-reverted, to be able to go through Category:Living people looking for abuse, to go through a "mini watchlist" of frequently vandalised articles, etc. It would also be a really good tool for rapidly reviewing an account's contributions for vandalism cases, RFAs etc (and making it something that's undoubtedly useful from an admin/crat point of view, would presumably defuse a lot of the distaste for it you see among some admins). The code for generating the text-file lists of articles using assorted criteria already exists in AWB, so that could be used to generate the lists and all that would be needed at the Huggle end would be a facility to turn off the recent changes feed and instead create a queue out of the text file. — iridescent

This is implemented in a basic form in the next version -- Gurch (talk) 02:20, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] CSD can end up warning yourself

If you try to CSD something that's been deleted, I think it causes you to warn yourself about it. Not entirely sure if that's the exact cause but I've somehow managed to do it twice to myself. Thanks for all the work you do about this. --Tombomp (talk) 19:02, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

It should simply not do anything if the page does not exist. I'll see if I can reproduce this -- Gurch (talk) 01:05, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Two things

When clicking "Show previous revision to this page" after reverting, for example if I wanted to double-check that I didn't make a mistake, Huggle seems to always go back 2 revisions. For example, just now I did a revert on Performance-enhancing drugs: I made this reversion and then pressed Z, and instead of taking me one back, to this, which is what I wanted to see, it goes back to this.

Also, when I click on the viewing window, I know the keyboard shortcuts stop working, but when I click back up on the menu bar or on one of the buttons, they still don't work. I have to minimize and restore to be able to use them again. Not critical or anything, but a little annoying. This is Windows XP SP3 with all .NET updates. -- BlastOButter42 ^See Hear _Speak 01:39, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

The keyboard shortcuts thing, a nice way to fix it is to create a new tab and then immediately close it. Resizing the log at the bottom works too. And I have the 2 revisions problem as well, I think it's on purpose for some reason... Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 01:42, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Erroneous block message

On several occasions today while using Huggle a message box has popped up saying that I have been blocked from editing. This is clearly an erroneous message, because I have not been blocked - is this a known issue? – ukexpat (talk) 15:41, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Odd. This should only occur if you've been blocked (either blocked directly, or IP blocked, or autoblocked). Was there anything in particular that seemed to cause the message to appear? -- Gurch (talk) 00:55, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

No nothing in particular and it hasn't happened the past couple of days. – ukexpat (talk) 15:27, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

This should be fixed in the next version -- Gurch (talk) 10:17, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Occasionally, (but never using huggle) an edit will fail with some message about "session data". Also, occasionally, you get a message about the database being locked. How does huggle handle such cases. Is it possible it assumes you're blocked when the edit fails for any reason? --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:45, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

As there was no way to uniquely identify the block messages, it was presumably also appearing for database locks; I've had the block message changed. Loss of session data should be handled by logging back in; Huggle will retry up to 3 times on errors it doesn't specifically handle in some other way, after which it should leave an error message in the log; for some types of error (such as reverts that fail because someone else got there first) it just fails silently, as that is very common -- Gurch (talk) 10:25, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Adding Templates

I am currently running into a problem with the template button. I am unable to remove the orginal template entres from the list even after I have deleted them from the entry page. I was wondering if this is a known issue or if there is something I can do to fix it, thanks --Nn123645 (talk) 03:23, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Error

Hmm, Huggle isn't running for me. I extract the file, attempt to run it, and get a message stating, "The application failed to initialize properly (0x0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application." Anybody know why this is and what I can do to make it run? I've downloaded it from both the mirror site and the main (version .79) and get the same results both times. FusionMix 13:13, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

If you don't already have .NET 2.0 installed, you should first install that; it can be downloaded here. You already have it if you have Vista, or AutoWikiBrowser or another .NET 2.0 application -- Gurch (talk) 15:53, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] IP's in the whitelist

Have you disabled putting IP addresses on the whitelist? The first time I attempted it, I got a "huggle.exe stopped working" generic Microsoft error window, then the next 3 times I tried, huggle takes like 20 seconds, quits correctly, but ends up not making an edit (by the way, the IP I was attempting to place on the whitelist was 68.39.174.238). I think the page is getting too big, it's 228 KB now, according to it's page history. Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 23:20, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

I can't say enough how much I oppose whitelisting IPs. Whoever's using it now might be the best editor on the planet, but that bears no relationship to who it's assigned to next week. If it were down to me, I'd periodically delete the whitelist altogether and let it build up again, as a way to clear out whoever's found their way onto it but doesn't deserve to be there. — iridescent 23:23, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

68.39.174.238 is trustworthy, he/she has over 15,000 contribs and was nominated for adminship... but other than this one, I don't really think there are any IP's that should be on it, so yeah, I rest my case. If adding IP's really is disabled, that is. Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 23:30, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes. IP addresses can be ignored, which will take effect until you restart Huggle, but they cannot be added to the whiltelist. Though it shouldn't be crashing attempting to add them. The whitelist is rather slow to load when viewed through a web browser, and slow to edit, though retrieving it in text-only form (as Huggle does when starting up) doesn't take too long. If you want to clear the whitelist, feel free to do so, though doing so may irritate other Huggle users for a while -- Gurch (talk) 23:58, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't mean clear it now - I'm talking a once-a-year spring-clean of it. — iridescent 00:16, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

So next February, then? -- Gurch (talk) 00:54, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Restricting Huggle to folk with rollback

What about people who have versions 9 and less on their computers, if they haven't got rollbak wouldn't they just continue using older versions to get around the restrictions. Also, wouldn't it be an idea to remove the links to older versions? ——Ryan | t • c 11:27, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

A) Gurch can disable old versions and B) Older versions arn't SUL-compliant and fail on en-wp. ffm 12:42, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

The changes were made via a configuration page that all versions obey. ffm 12:43, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Ah, OK I understand. Thanks ——Ryan | t • c 12:53, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Umm... that's not true. Only 0.7.10 and presumably above support limiting the use of huggle per time/rollback/admin, etc. in the cfg page (see the "changes" page). Versions below that will ignore those lines in the configuration as they won't understand it and continue to function normally. The SUL-thing will mess up any en-wp users trying to use anything below 0.7.9, but 0.7.9 should still work w/out rollback oops... WP:BEANS... Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 22:35, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I've decided old versions will always be usable for at least 24 hours after a new version has been released, even if the ultimate intention is to remove access to it, in order not to cause inconvenience. 0.7.10 is now required -- Gurch (talk) 02:55, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Advertising in edit summary?

What happened to not advertising in the edit summary? I got the new version of huggle and now it says (huggle) at the end of each edit summary. I'm not upset or anything, just wondering why the sudden change of heart, Gurch? Dadude3320 13:09, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes I 100% agree. I noticed this this morning. Sure it is a good idea? I know many vandals that look at who reverted them and this would then give them a dirrect link to this very powerfull program. ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 13:12, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I don't think it matters, vandals don't have rollback so would therefore find the program inoperable ——Ryan | t • c 13:16, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

It'd still be nice to not have it there. Or have an option to turn it off. I think we were all doing fine without it. That's just my opinion though. Dadude3320 13:22, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Twinkle does the same... ffm 14:16, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

In twinkle you can turn it off. Also good point Lupin :> ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 16:04, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

This change has been requested several times, and was therefore implemented. The text appended to the summary can be changed or removed by changing or removing the "summary:" option in the project configuration page -- Gurch (talk) 17:06, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I see your logic. Is it possible to remove it just for your user? (on your users cfg subpage) I have been trying but it always stays as (huggle) even if I set it to something else. ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 17:09, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Not currently -- Gurch (talk) 17:15, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Ok. Thanks for your reply. Its quite funny to look into the Recent changes and see the ammount of (huggle)'s there are :>. This program really does get used. ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 17:18, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Does not Currently mean that it will/can be added at a later date? Dadude3320 17:30, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

People requested it, but to be honest, I preferred it without it in the edit summary. Ah well. Can't make everyone happy. Enigma ^message 17:33, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I think it would be a good idea to let individual users opt in or out of the "advertising" thing. I personally like it, but it would be nice to have the option of whether to turn it on or off.

←As one of those who requested it, I very strongly oppose allowing the option to leave it out. Part of the - uh - "colourful" reputation Huggle and its users have at the moment is down to not being able to tell Huggle rollback from "normal" rollback. If the Huggle and Twinkle edits are marked, then when we're reviewing a contribution history we know which tool needs to have access removed. As certain users have already discovered, when account is being used inappropriately and it's not clear which tool was used to make the inappropriate edits, the alternative is blocking until we can work out what's gone wrong, or taking away your rollback rights. The temporary removal of a tool is an inconvenience; the block and/or loss of rights stays on a user's log forever. — iridescent 01:00, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

If you're abusing or using huggle/Twinkle inappropriately isn't a block and or loss of rights normally in store anyway? You can remove the [TW] At the end of twinkle edits, IMHO, huggle shouldn't be any different.And as it says on the Requests for Rollback "Misuse of the feature, even if unintentional or in good faith may give cause for it to be removed."And On The huggle Page: "Responsibility for edits rests with the owner of the account with which they are made. "Use of an automated tool" is not an excuse."If your using huggle you should know how to use the tool and revert vandalism properly. If not, you NEED to have your rollback rights revoked. If you're abusing it you NEED to have rollback revoked. If something "were" to go wrong (Reverting of good faith edits) even when using the NORMAL rollback tool, you'd have rollback removed. Dadude3320 01:23, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

No - we generally apply a different standard to Huggle edits. Since Twinkle opens the talkpage (and it's assumed that manual rollbackers are also opening the talkpage) of whoever's being reverted, it's easier to see right away that you're stepping into an edit-war that's already the subject of discussion, or reverting something as "vandalism" when there's talkpage consensus to keep it. As anyone keeping even a casual eye on ANI recently will notice, were we to apply the "letter of the law" in the case of Huggle edits, within a week Huggle would have about three users left. Gurch designed it for obvious vandalism, but thanks to the overenthusiams some users have for the "Q" instead of the "R" button (and the fact that certain users aren't reading the instructions), we're in a situation where people are being reported to AIV with a summary of "vandalism only account" for changing British to American spelling, indefblocked for typing "hi" onto a page, issued with final warnings for adding correct information but failing to include a citation all of these have happened within the last couple of days - as some of you are presumably aware, a couple of weeks ago, disabling Huggle access for anyone except Gurch was being seriously discussed. Luckily it didn't come to that, but everyone using huggle is on a sort of unofficial probation at the moment. Because (whatever you all may think of Those Evil Admins) we don't want to hound people off the project, damage future RFA prospects etc, when good-faith misuse, as opposed to actual abuse, comes up, we'd far rather just quietly disable your huggle access, explain what you did wrong and give it back when you've promised to be more careful, than have "rollback removed: systematic abuse" on your log to haunt you in any future Request For Whatever process. — iridescent 18:23, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Wow.I wasn't seeing all sides of the argument, And I didn't know some of the things you mentioned above. I'll shut up now. Dadude3320 18:28, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

How is Huggle able to insert the custom edit summary? I didn't think that native rollback supported that. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 02:59, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

The URL to rollback a page accepts a "summary" parameter, but none is supplied by default. Find a "rollback" link somewhere, copy and paste the URL into the address bar, add the text "&summary=test" on the end and press Enter. The edit should be rolled back with the summary "test" -- Gurch (talk) 03:42, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Exception Error

When I close huggle I get an exception error when It trys to update my cfg and or whitelist. I don't know what the error is as the error window then crashes before I can read it. But the saving form loads but then that dies also. ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 16:15, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Same here:

Error upon closing Huggle

Whenever I close Huggle I get a rather irritating error as shown in the image. I'll copy and paste the text you can see in the error box as well as my computer specifications. Following the first error I then get several subsequent and identical errors before getting the standard Windows error message.

(snipped error message)

[edit] Keyboard Shortcuts Don't Save

Two comments in one day :P.... I Changed four keyboard shortcuts. I changed Diff To Current Revision and Post Template message to none. Then I changed Revert And Warn Removing content to D and Revert and Warn Editing tests to T. Not only did it not work after I saved it, when I restarted huggle, they were back on their defaults. Am I doing something wrong? -- Dadude3320 (talk) 17:11, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

This also happened to me. I switched the prod and patrol keys around but they didn't work next time I loaded =[ ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 17:15, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Error saving Reporting config

No matter which option I select, huggle changes the config to none, rather then prompt which I had selected in the UI. [4] Q ^{T C} 22:37, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestion

I would really like it if there was an option to "dump" the remembered "custom edit summaries" to an external file or at least some. I often use similar edit summaries like "rm redlink" or "needs to be cited" and it's kind of annoying to have to retype these every time I restart huggle. (especially because I have Vista :/ ) Just an idea. Thingg^⊕⊗ 00:46, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

The next version will remember the edit summaries used across sessions -- Gurch (talk) 03:15, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Huggle question

Hi Gurch - have a question on Huggle - after having used it for a day, its now telling me I need "rollback" to use it. Does this mean I must apply for rollback privileges, and if not, what does that message mean? What should I do? If I have to apply for rollback, why did it work a day before? Vishnava _talk 04:08, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah. Administrators have been complaining for almost as long as huggle's been around at the amount of abuse it gets. Gurch decided to make rollback mandatory. It worked the day before because you don't need rollback on version 0.7.9. Everyone is now required to use v0.7.10, which requires rollback. You'll have to get rollback in order to continue to use huggle. The link for requests is WP:RFR. Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 04:17, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dropdown for Revert/warn button

There should be a dropdown menu (similar to the one beside the revert button) beside the button that reverts+warns (with 1 click) which allows you to both revert with a specific edit summary and issue a specific user warning.--Sunny910910 ^{(talk|Contributions|Guest)} 04:58, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Done in the next version -- Gurch (talk) 05:59, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Minor Bug

It's not even a problem with the code, just a typo but when the block form comes up in Huggle, you are presented with 2 buttons that open either the talk page or contribs of the user in your browser, the talk button links to [5] (that's a user just I blocked). Note that it links to "ttile=User_talk" instead of "title=User_talk". A small thing to fix in the next update. Cheers for a great program. James086^{Talk | Email} 08:26, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

I get similar ones all the time. I have always just ignored them, and nothing happens. In fact, it seems that Huggle crashes less often if I get a lot of those error messages. Of course, since I'm using Vista, is that really surprising? (I have, to my knowledge, never let my computer (which is a laptop) go to sleep with Huggle running and come back to find that it (huggle and Vista) had not crashed. ) J.delanoy^gabs_adds 23:05, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

I have the same problem where huggle starts flicking through recently visited article. I have to retart Huggle and get the same error when I close it down. - tholly ^--Turnip-- 13:08, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A thought re summaries

It might be better to have the summary read WP:HG instead of the current (huggle). If I didn't know what it meant, and I saw "blocked (huggle)" as the last edit to my page, I'd assume it was the blocking admin being sarcastic. (I have the same problem with "Tagging article as having questionable factual accuracy - FRIENDLY" as well.) — iridescent 20:26, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] clarification of ignore button

Could we update the front page to explain how the ignore button will whitelist a registered user but not an IP (if that is indeed always the case)? I was hoping this was the behavior but had to poke around in the discussion to verify. (I would update it myself, but my understanding could be off, and it seems arrogant to just up and change it myself.) BTW Huggle freakin rocks! --JaGa (talk) 21:24, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] No summary?

The current version doesn't allow me to choose from one of the summaries referring to unexplained removal of content etc. The summary always remains the usual "Reverted edits by ... to last version by ...". Has this anything to do with my configuration (page)? (see User:Catgut/huggle.css) And how can I change that?

[edit] Name

Who decided to call this "Huggle" and why? Autowikibrowser is an obvious, self-explanatory name. Twinkle is more creative, but at least it conjours up the idea of content being reverted back in a blink. But "Huggle" just baffles my mind... Why? Dragons flight (talk) 03:28, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

I thin it is because it is kind of the opposite to what it does to vandals :> (if that makes sense) i'm sure gurch will correct me on this. ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 06:35, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Why not, really? There is no specific requirement for naming a tool to make it sound scary or useful. Also there is a good old advertising technique that if something is weird enough and still useful, people remember it. Regards, CycloneNimrod ^talk?_contribs? 06:46, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Why not call it "Bugger" to describe what vandals (at least British vandals) say when their edits get reverted quicker then the page can refresh. I sometimes call it the "Editcount fairy". --Ron Ritzman (talk) 13:43, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Haha I like Bugger: "(Reverted edits by A to last version by B (using Bugger))" ——Ryan | t • c 13:47, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

"You've been buggered." --Closedmouth (talk) 14:40, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

It's just a name. Many software projects -- Web applications in particular -- have names that do not make any sense. Gurch (talk) 15:31, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

So it's a testament to your personal madness. Okay, got it.  ;-) Dragons flight (talk) 16:19, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 0.7.9

I'm using version 0.7.9, and it doesn't let me log into huggle, saying that the "version is too old, or later required." I haven't received any other versions by e-mail yet, is there something I'm missing? · AndonicO ^Engage. 17:18, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes you need 0.7.10 :) See WP:Huggle. – ukexpat (talk) 17:26, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

"or later required"? Hm... I guess I broke the bit that finds the version number. :/ -- Gurch (talk) 17:30, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Okay, thanks, downloaded. · AndonicO ^Engage. 20:20, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Translation to spanish

In the spanish version, there is a part wrong translated, it says "Deshacer propia editar" when the correct way would be "Deshaciendo edición propia" [7]. Greetings. Alvaro qc (talk) 00:14, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
