Quick question

I know WP:RedWarn has been in the process of moving to WP:UV. However, as a mobile editor, I'm having problems when I'm trying to use UV, like the desktop interface just completely freeze, but RedWarn works perfectly fine. Any reason why UV is behaving like this?

Hi! I had the same problem a while ago, it turned out to be a memory (RAM) problem. Try cleaning some space in the memory and it should work fine. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 02:37, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

{{uw-editsummary}}

Why is the edit summary referred to as an "edit comment" on {{uw-editsummary}} and {{uw-efsummary}}, but "edit summary" on {{uw-mislead}}, {{uw-bes1}}, and {{uw-wrongsummary}}?

Looking at meta/wikiConfiguration/enwiki.json on dev I'm curious how this happened, because my redwarnRules.json has "edit summary" on all 5 warnings, meaning it was previously correct.

Thanks. Rusty ^{talk contribs} 15:40, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

I'm equally as confused. Wikipedia:RedWarn/Default Warnings has the correct "edit summary", and the first revision of Wikipedia:Ultraviolet/configuration.json (presumably copied from Special:Permalink/1026319102 of Wikipedia:RedWarn/Default Warnings?) already has "edit comment". Commit 01d3432 adds the meta/wikiConfiguration/enwiki.json file, presumably from Special:Permalink/1028972940. Maybe @Chlod knows more?

Anyways I've updated both instances of "edit comment" to "edit summary" in Special:Diff/1233736068. ―sportzpikachu _{my talkcontribs} 16:38, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Configuration notice

I saw some sort of notice about UV's configuration on my watch page, but I clicked away too fast and it's not showing up again. First, what did that notice say? Second, is there a way to send this to people's talk pages so that they don't have the same issue. voorts (talk/contributions) 20:19, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the report! If you missed the notice, that means it probably wasn't too important. Most likely it would have been the configuration reload notice. More important notices will pop up a very noticeable dialog on the screen. We won't be sending these to talk pages since these notices are only ephemeral informational messages that relate to the current user, and there isn't much point saving them onwiki somewhere.

Please let us know if you experience any unexpected behaviour with UV. ―sportzpikachu _{my talkcontribs} 12:41, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Dark mode compatibility?

(Using RW, not ultraviolet) The color of most of the text of the interface seems to be hard-coded in black, which is annoying if dark mode sets the babkground black. Of course, if you got used to it before switching to dark mode you can still recognize things by the icons, but still, it's less practical. Could that be changed?

Hi! I'm not sure I can reproduce this issue on the latest RW with dark mode enabled. Could you please clarify what source of dark mode you are using? I've tested the new Vector 2022 dark mode and it works correctly with popups retaining white background and black text.

We're not currently planning on updating RW with dark mode compatibility, but that's something that will be available after the release of the UV rewrite. ―sportzpikachu _{my talkcontribs} 12:34, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Since I'm more a Wikisourcerer than a Wikipedian, I put an import in m:User:Alien333/global.css. The rest of the code in there should have nothing to do with that, it's just some coloring. I'm using RW 16.1. I usually use Vector 2010, bu I also tested with Vector 2022 and the background of the popups is still black. — Alien333 (what I did & why I did it wrong) 14:14, 16 July 2024 (UTC) Because why not, I switched to UV and it works, the text is in white. Thank you — Alien333 (what I did & why I did it wrong) 14:16, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Rename.js

User:10nm/beta.js, sure, 10nm is the start of the ultraviolet spectrum (according to the birds and the bees, alleged animals who cannot be trusted), but User:10nm/ultraviolet-beta.js would be a lot more userfriendly. Polygnotus (talk) 06:19, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean by birds and the bees, alleged animals who cannot be trusted. But the userscript is at beta.js because it's a beta at the moment. Upon release it will be at User:10nm/.js ―sportzpikachu _{my talkcontribs} 06:30, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Port to other language wikis

How to port it to, let's say, Википедия — свободная энциклопедия (wikipedia.org) ? What to read to start? Thanks! ManyAreasExpert (talk) 13:38, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
