Captcha

Captcha will not load properly(error message instead), thus I am currently incapable of using Huggle. Ronk01 talk 23:48, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Does huggle assume that the project namespace is wikipedia?

Does huggle assume that the project namespace is wikipedia? If you try to use huggle on meta it loads the rc feed for the English Wikipedia. This might be the issue since on meta wikipedia:Huggle/Config redirects to the English Wikipedia. MorganKevinJ^(talk) 21:59, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

it's possible? it isn't supposed to be now used on meta. Petrb (talk) 22:31, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Huggle uses "Project" for the project namespace, as it works with all projects. Here's a link to Project:Huggle/Config; it's the same as Wikipedia:Huggle/Config. Here's a link to meta:Project:Huggle/Config; it's the same as meta:Meta/Huggle/Config. Magic. Reach Out to the Truth 00:26, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Huggle running from USB flash drives

I'm a rollbacker of Portuguese Wikipedia and I tested the program in a USB flash drive. The program has worked correctly. Francisco ^{talk contrib} 21:59, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

That is good to know anyway configuration is tored on wp so it's very portable though Petrb (talk) 19:27, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

This is the first time...

...that I have ever felt the need to raise an issue with Huggle, in many months of using it. However, I find this latest configuration to be somewhat cumbersome. It doesn't take long until it slows right down and announces Huggle has stopped working properly. Never had this before with any of the previous versions. Orphan Wiki 15:26, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

What is your OS? Petrb (talk) 18:07, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Does it happend when you click on next item Petrb (talk) 18:08, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

My Operating System is simply MS Windows (Vista). Sometimes clicking next will mess up, (sometimes only a little, but sometimes causing a close-down of HG) and sometimes a revert will take forever and then lead to the whole thing going slow, and eventually having to close. Orphan Wiki 14:30, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Previous version worked better? It was unusable for me on win 7, but there is probably still much to fix Petrb (talk) 19:23, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, no worries, I'll keep on with it. I've used Huggle for a long time, and won't give up on it any time soon. :) Orphan Wiki 20:18, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Welcome Personal template broken in 2.1.2

Resolved

"Advanced" reversion not respecting manual edit summary

Resolved

In 2.1.1, I twice tried using a manual edit summary from the "Advanced..." reversion dialog, and in both cases my edit summary was not used and the default edit summary (i.e. "Reverted edits by X to last revision by Y") was used instead. This isn't good, as using a default edit summary may give the appearance of a capricious reversion. Orange Suede Sofa (talk) 21:20, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Fixed try it if there were still some troubles let me know Petrb (talk) 08:23, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Warnings

Huggle is not giving proper warnings to frequent vandals, I revert/warned an IP three times and no warnings showed up on his talk. Clearly this is a major bug. Ronk01 talk 23:12, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

When this happens, look at the very bottom of Huggle and you will often see Did not warn xx.xxx.xx.x: The user has not edited since their last warning. Or, it might say something to the effect that they were just warned less than 10 seconds ago. In such situations, this is all part of Huggle’s “throttling”. Were there any messages like these? Thanks! — SpikeToronto 02:51, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

I believe it said something like that once, but when you have serious vandals, they need to be warned for each offense, not just when the offenses are 10 seconds apart. Ronk01 talk 20:23, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

It has always been standard policy to permit vandals time to read the notices they’ve received. So, for example, if they made three vandalizing edits and did not get warned until after the third, they do not get a second warning until and unless they vandalize again (i.e., in this example, the fourth time). After all, if they made three, but then stopped after they got the warning, then the warning served its purpose. This policy is coded into HG. — SpikeToronto 00:39, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

This is not a bug it's a logical action which prevent you from warning user for same reason more than once you can always warn user with the warning action from menu / bar. It has been decided that huggle rather not warn vandal rather than warn regular user who should not be warned this was unchanged since 0.9.x so it's same for all previous versions and I am not even going to change it, if you are sure of what are about to do use the menu bar. Another thing is if you don't get the explanation to the status window in that case it could be classified as a bug anyway it usualy takes some time for hg to send message to talk page. (you should always see that user was warned or if not then reason why) Petrb (talk) 12:15, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Mike, are either of Hodnota nemůže být or Název parametru pages you were trying to access? Thanks! — SpikeToronto 22:20, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

No, no. The messages mean: "Value may not be NULL" and "Parameter name: input", respectively. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 15:04, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

By the way, I only use Huggle on English Wikipedia. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 07:18, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

If Hodnota nemůže být NULL means Value may not be NULL and Název parametru: input means Parameter name: input, then why don’t they say that? If those phrases are coded in Huggle 2.1.x, then that means that parts of the new Huggle are not coded in English. My concern is that, as HG is primarily used on the English Wikipedia, and should User:Petrb one day no longer be able to continue with HG’s development, then whoever would take it over may have to rollback to version 0.9.11 and re-start from there if s/he cannot read Hungarian. All the work developing from 0.9.11 might, therefore, be lost. For practical reasons, the lingua franca of the project is English and applications running on it ought to be coded only in English.

So, my initial question was meant to determine if those phrases were referring to coding, or were the names of pages on the project on which Huggle was running. From your response, I understand, therefore, that those phrases are part of the current Huggle’s code. Thanks! — SpikeToronto 07:38, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

No. These are exception messages of the .NET Framework, and my version of the Windows system is Czech. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 08:49, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Perfect! It’s just the one-time project manager in me worrying about the future, continuous development of the application. Sorry I couldn’t tell the difference between Hungarian and Czech … Thanks! — SpikeToronto 08:57, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

It's the system library of windows what pull the czech message not huggle of course it might confuse you but if you ever get a czech error output on english system let me know - or microsoft Petrb (talk) 10:22, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Exception on update from 2.1.1 to 2.1.2

Today I attempted to run Huggle 2.1.1; it reported that a newer version is available. When I attempted to download it, an exception occurred:

Could you please try it again I suppose it's problem with download, like the file was not downloaded full. Petrb (talk) 18:11, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

I had a similar exception when updating. When I went to the link at WP:HG and downloaded 2.1.2, worked fine. Problem with updating from within Huggle?--Gnowor^T_C 23:42, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Had this same problem on multiple computers—was forced to download manually also. –CWenger (talk) 02:55, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

The same error occurred now when updating to Huggle 2.1.3.

1. I started Huggle and logged in.
2. A message window appeared, saying that my version of Huggle is out of date. I clicked on "Update".
3. "Downloading" progress bar appeared; halfway into the download, the exception (as quoted above) occurred.

Mike Rosoft (talk) 14:58, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

In case it's relevant, I am using Windows 7. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 07:19, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Unimportant but interesting bug

Resolved

I left Huggle on for a few hours accidentally (it actually caught quite a few edits that had slipped by) and I noticed a very interesting "reverts per minute" count, shown to the right. Guoguo12--Talk--  19:05, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Although I must note that I was using Huggle 2.0.2, which is technically outdated. Guoguo12--Talk--  19:06, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

I walked away from my Huggle for about eight hours to test this, and when I came back it was still showing normal numbers (e.g., 92EPM/4RPM). I am still using Version 0.9.11, though. — SpikeToronto 06:07, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

2.1.2 and newer seem to be ok? Petrb (talk) 18:12, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Minor bug/feature

Resolved

I notice in Huggle 2.1.3 on my laptop, when I hit Function plus the up or down arrow (to adjust screen brightness), the about box comes up. –CWenger (talk) 02:37, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Fixed. 2.1.4 Petrb (talk) 18:11, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

The case of error in summary

There was the case of error in summary in Russian Wikipedia in this edit. Itself edit was correct, but its summary was incorrect. Huggle (2.1.2) generated the following summary: Правки Centurion198 откачены к версии 93.100.7.89 (in english: Reverting edits by Centurion198 to version by 93.100.7.89), but it should have been Правки 93.100.7.89 откачены к версии Centurion198 (in english: Reverting edits by 93.100.7.89 to version by Centurion198). It was the only such case; all other summaries were correct. --Bff (talk) 08:16, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

I really don't know why it could happen I made some update for your wiki so huggle should work better now. Petrb (talk) 18:30, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

BLP edit summary suggestion

Resolved

I suggest that a few words in the BLP edit summary be changed from unsourced negative content to unsourced contentious content, which is more accurate and aligns with WP:BLP. Thanks, Orange Suede Sofa (talk) 10:02, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

I have always found the BLP summary a bit troubling, because, as you say OSS, the material added is not always negative (e.g., so-and-so is dating such-and-such), but should still be sourced in those instances where an inline verification template (e.g., Template:Citation needed) will not suffice. In those instances, I choose the Failing to cite a verifiable reliable source option, despite it not mentioning anything about BLPs. It is a second-best solution. — SpikeToronto 22:40, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

You can create your own :P, it's possible Petrb (talk) 19:31, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

The issue is that the current summary is simply incorrect. I believe that propagating the notion that BLP only applies to negative content may do harm in the long run, and that the project will benefit if this is fixed globally. Regards, Orange Suede Sofa (talk) 04:08, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

I must have misunderstood you, OSS. I thought you were talking about the BLP template (e.g., Template:Huggle/warn-bio-1) that gets applied to the miscreant’s talk page. But, I see now that you were referring to the edit summary left in the revision history of the BLP being reverted. — SpikeToronto 17:07, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

I will repeat myself feel free to fix it I am not a native english speaker I don't want to come with some summary which would be just that wrong. Petrb (talk) 18:22, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Bug retrieving history

Resolved

I tried to retireve the history of a page 1025 (number) and I got this error:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I don't know what's going on, so if someone with more experience could look into this, I'd be greatly appreciated. ~ Matthewrbowker ^{Say hi!} 00:05, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Level 4 warning

Hi. I sent a level 4 warning and it should say "This is your last warning" but says "This is your only warning". Please, somebody change "only" for "last". Thanks.” T_eLeS (T _{@ L C S}) 13:04, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

The problem is not with the wording of the template. The problem is that HG issued the wrong template. The template issued was Template:Huggle/warn-4im when it should have been Template:Huggle/warn-4. The wording of Template:Huggle/warn-4 is: This is your last warning, while the wording of Template:Huggle/warn-4im is: This is your only warning. If one looks at your diff, it shows that the warning issued was Template:Huggle/warn-4im. (Well, actually it says that the template issued was Template:uw-huggle4im but that just redirects to Template:Huggle/warn-4im.)

So, the problem is that your version of Huggle — 2.1.3? — for some reason issued the wrong warning. — SpikeToronto 08:47, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Testing team

Hi I would like to make some testing team for testing huggle before it is released, I do not have a lot of time for doing tests myself and I believe it's too important, I must admit there were some bugs caused by some of my changes (which could harm the stability which previous versions had), although those were fixed I want to prevent this from happening again, if anyone is interesting in testing just tell me what do you think about this whole idea, I think I will release beta versions everytime 2 or more days before releasing stable and would contact all the testers with e-mail, if you have some suggestions about testing just tell me. Anyone is welcome to participate on testing but if you want to get notified you would have to add your name somewhere (could be on this page - I will create some subpage for testing probably).

Protection status

Newest version of Huggle will not tell you the protection of a protected page.--Breawycker (talk) 20:53, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

User warning templates

I have noticed that some of the templates listed at Template:Huggle have changed over time to become rather more bitey than is probably for the best. I would assume that since these templates live in a bit of a walled garden, they don't get a lot of eyeballs watching them for changes which might slip away from consensus. Is there any technical reason why these templates can't redirect to the user warning templates approved by WikiProject user warnings? The templates listed there are subject to wider scrutiny and consensus. —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 16:32, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Elipongo, which HG templates in particular? Also, do Twinkle, IGLOO, etc., use their own templates or the templates at WP:UTM as you suggest? Thanks! — SpikeToronto 08:50, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

UPDATE:  I see what you mean. I reviewed the revision history of the series that begins at Template:Huggle/warn-1 and noticed that some of them — the Level 4 and Level 4im — were unilaterally changed by a former Huggler. I also noticed that the lower level ones were shortened by a former Huggle developer who was unaware that the wording of some of them had been changed to make them consistent with WP:UTM.

If there is consensus to return these templates to being more consistent with WP:UTM, I would be willing to do the work since User:Petrb and User:Addshore are kept quite busy working on the Huggle program itself. Thanks! — SpikeToronto 09:14, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for doing that; keep in mind that templates are created by community. Petrb (talk) 11:44, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

I do not intend to start changing them until there is some feedback here. However, the changes made to them that caused them to diverge from the versions at WP:UTM were made unilaterally and thus without consensus. Therefore, any change back would be going back to versions for which, via UTM, there is consensus. Or at least that’s how I see it. Thanks! — SpikeToronto 21:01, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

I agree that reversions would reflect a return to consensus from changes made by editors acting alone. To answer another question, TWINKLE does indeed use the standardized WP:UTM templates. For example, see the notice in the documentation of {{uw-vandalism1}}. Is there a reason Huggle can't do this too? It would certainly mitigate against future unilateral changes. —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 03:22, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

As I understand it, from some old edit summaries in the revision histories, the way in which HG is written it needs certain parameters and variables within templates to be different than they are in the standard UTM/Twinkle templates. However, the wording should be only minimally affected by these, if at all. — SpikeToronto 07:48, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

I wonder what parameters are needed? Perhaps they can be included into the standardized templates. Unless there's some fundamental incompatability... —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 15:33, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

When I give a warning to a user, Huggle has found a problem. I use the program under Windows 7 Home Premium in Brazilian Portuguese, but, when I give a warning, a window with title "Huggle parou de funcionar", which means "Huggle has stopped working", appears. Waht is wrong? Francisco ^{talk-contribs} 13:18, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Ability to pull more information from page history.

Both myself and a fellow Wikipedian User:123Hedgehog456 accidentaly warned a used for blanking a page when he was the author of the article and we warned him simply because the Page History bar did not pull up the black box when we clicked the edit. This has happened multiple times and it would be easier to avoid if Huggle pulled more revisions. Spitfire19 ^T/_C 19:14, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi! I haven't used Huggle for about a month now, but when I try to log on, I get the 'Unable to Log In' message. I'm running Vista Home Premium, the latest HG (2.1.5), my username/password are correct, I've tried logging in on a proxy, I've tried turning my firewall off, switching/rebooting my computer off, Huggle is enabled in my css, I've tried deleting and re-installing. Please help! :) Acather96 (talk) 16:22, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Do you have rollback and confirmed status? Try test wiki. Petrb (talk) 17:42, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

If it would not work even there then you should contact stewards and ask if you are not blocked from api access. Petrb (talk) 17:51, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Yep, I've got rollback and autoconfirmed status.Acather96 (talk) 16:42, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Annoying feature

Is there anyway I can stop Huggle writing my huggle.css file every time I quit - it never used to do that, it only wrote it when a version changed. I have extra revert summaries in there, and I have to revert the rewrite every time. I didn't mind when it was just the occasional version change - I used to copy the extra summaries over. Or maybe we could have a hugglecustom.css included for our extra customisations? I thought of protecting it, but that won't work, as (technically) it's me writing the file...  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 19:53, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

⋙–Berean–Hunter—► ((⊕)) 18:50, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Okay, I see that the name was removed when the whitelist was cleaned out.

Curious about something else...a lot of the updates tend to toggle the entries of closely-spelled accounts (alt accounts) in a different alphabetical order back and forth so that a series of updates looks like (second letter "w" marks the change here):

Is that intentional or a bug? Seems like a lot of overhead waste of parsing.
⋙–Berean–Hunter—► ((⊕)) 04:33, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

As you spotted your username was removed in the clear out and no doubt in time it will be back on the list. The updates that cause switches in the order of names e.t.c in the white list are, as far as we are aware, from differences between versions. This is one of the reasons that we would really like users to update to the newer versions and why we may at some point force it. ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 09:15, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Overlooked warnings?

It seems nowadays that Huggle warnings on user talk pages are not being noticed by Igloo or ClueBot NG. Only by Huggle itself or when the user who reverted vandalism manually picks a warning. Unless there's a way for the other codes to notice Huggle warnings, I notice that those warnings themselves do not include the "<!-- Uw-warning# -->" format used by the User Warnings Project. They just use their own ones. Even ClueBot NG uses the "<!-- Uw-vandalism# -->" format in its warnings. mechamind90 16:50, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

If I compress the "My Edits" queue to be a few-edits long, I get this error that won't go away until I exit.

Huggle and Secure IRC / IRC proxies

Hey there. Thanks for making Huggle - I can tell in a short amount of time back that it's made a huge impact on how the community protects against vandalism. I'd really like to use Huggle, but I'm behind a security layer that blocks all non-secured IRC connections. I know my issue is a niche - but is it possible to either enable secured IRC (SSL) support (complicated) or a separate initial-screen proxy tab for an IRC-only SOCKS 4/5 proxy? I'm not sure about your implementation here, but I wouldn't think it would be tremendously complicated. --Avillia ^{(Avillia me!)} 18:37, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Welcome at top

Is it possible to add welcome templates to the top of user talk pages, rather than the bottom? Twinkle has this option and I have found it most useful, but I haven't found an equivalent function in Huggle. This would also seem to solve the problem of whether to automatically welcome vandals when reverting or not, which I saw came up a couple of times in the archives. If a user wanted to welcome a vandal, they could just do it after the automatic warning template, and the end result would look the same as an automatic welcome (albeit in two edits, not one). — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 08:37, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Issue with watch options

I really only like to watch a small number of pages, so watching every user talk page on which I've placed a warning is not really for me. I've tried unchecking all of the watch settings in the options pane of Huggle multiple times, but every time I reopen Huggle, they're back to the default settings. I originally thought the issue was that they reset every time I updated Huggle, but looking through my configuration page, it seems to reset even when the version number is not changed (e.g.: [4]). Is this supposed to happen? Is there any way I can stop it from happening? It's not a huge issue, but I'd rather not have to purge my watchlist every time I use Huggle. Thanks! – GorillaWarfare ^{talk • contribs} 20:19, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

There's an option to change which pages you watch inside Huggle, in the system menu. Go to: System --> Options --> Editing, and then check the relevant check boxes. All the best. — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 08:40, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Ah, my apologies. I should have read your comment more closely. Is your config directory being written correctly? As far as I understand it, there is a new directory called "config" that is created by huggle, in the same directory as the huggle executable.

The latter queue (displayed at the bottom) is buggy: when I click a queue item, it opens the different page from the one I clicked, and when the display say that there's one item in the queue, none are displayed - see the screenshot. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 16:30, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

It appears to me that the 2nd queue has its display shifted one item up, so the top item is hidden by the items counter, and when you click the item that displays at the top of the queue, you are sent to the one that is being hidden. All the way down the queue you get the result above the one you click. Monty₈₄₅ 18:59, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Still happening as of 2.1.10. I use the top for filtered edits and the bottom for a custom namespace edit list; While the counter may say 5 items, for instance, i will only be able to actually see 4 in the listing. ScottSteiner ✍ 05:24, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Review problem

Unfortunately, Huggle's review feature doesn't work anymore on German Wikipedia. Although the Huggle log shows the message [sight-done] after clicking the review button, the version is actually not reviewed. Thanks for your help! --Iste Praetor (talk) 15:55, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Does it produce some info? Petrb (talk) 16:02, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

What kind of info? In the browser you cannot see that the version is accepted, neither in the history, nor in the log. Only Huggle's log at the bottom of the Huggle window shows [sight-done]. --Iste Praetor (talk) 16:25, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Huggle only in few languages

According to the latest archive, there are over 20 languages, but only few are updated, excluding incomplete translations. Could someone update the code in order to recognize all languages? Francisco ^{talk-contribs} 00:34, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Oh yes, some languages are missed (for example, Russian). —River01 (talk) 14:41, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Report setting resets to "none" when Huggle is exited

I set Huggle's report function to prompt me every time, since I noticed a couple of times it would miscount warnings. Every time I exit, though, it sets the setting back to "none", so nobody is reported unless I do it manually or change the setting again. ScottSteiner ✍ 23:09, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

Crash when reporting inappropriate username

Hi, when you report a user for inappropriate username, Huggle defaults to the "vandalism report" template. When you choose from the drop-down menu to report for inappropriate username (which it should have defaulted to), and click Report, the program crashes.

Crashing in 2.1.12

Since upgrading to 2.1.12, I've noticed that Huggle tends to crash suddenly after a while. The time varies from 2 or 3 minutes to about 20 or 30 minutes. When the crash happens I just get a message that says Huggle has encountered an error and is shutting down. I'm not sure exactly how to go about providing bug report data for this, but if you give me some pointers I will try and do it. Has anyone else experienced this behaviour since upgrading? I'm running Windows 7. — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 15:49, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

I've seen it from time to time in various versions (I'm running Vista), but less often now than before the 2.0 series. Earlier versions didn't seem to handle attempts at reverting already-reverted edits gracefully. I'd suggest you try and keep watch for a specific pattern that causes the crash, i.e. simple reversion vs. rollback-and-warn or selecting specific warning types. Just my 2p worth... --Alan the Roving Ambassador (talk) 15:54, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

I haven't identified a pattern yet, but 2.1.12 is crashing quite quickly. I use Huggle on a daily basis, and prior to this version it would run for days (the improvement of the last few versions has been impressive); now it is minutes. Will try and isolate specific actions, if any, that lead to a crash. Seaphoto^Talk 04:08, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Just move the error message out of the way and keep on reverting. --Σ _☭^★ 04:15, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

No error message at all, hard crash that caused my Windows 7 machine to close the program. I just ran it for 3 hours though, and it hasn't crashed once, though prior to this it closed 5 times in less than an hour. Perhaps it has something to do with the amount of traffic, or number of reverts (possible conflicts?), as the stream is running at 90 or so edits a minute right now, compared to 130 - 150 when it was crashing. I am going to let it run throughout the night, Pacific time, and see if it still up in the morningSeaphoto^Talk 07:20, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

I've had no problems since upgrading to 2.1.13. Whatever the issue was, it looks like it's been fixed. Thank you! — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 14:17, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Huggle bug

In this diff, I tried to revert an edit by Belongs:m5 (talk · contribs) with Huggle. It sent a warning to M5 (talk · contribs), and did not revert the edit. (Notice the similarity in username after the final colon.) After several tries, I rolled it back and warned the real vandal with Twinkle. I suspect this may be coming from a parser issue where Huggle is finding the last colon rather than the first when getting usernames. Reaper Eternal (talk) 15:33, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Serious bug in Huggle

I have been using Huggle for a while. At one time I reverted some vandalism on the article Friends; Huggle then reverted me with no interaction of my own. It kept restoring the vandalism, even after both I and another user reverted it manually. [5] - Mike Rosoft (talk) 19:56, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

This is very strange, are you possibly having a setting messed up? Also, let me check, are you on the whitelist?  JoeGazz  ▲  20:02, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

{{uw-longterm}}

Huggle should detect {{uw-longterm}} as if it were {{uw-vandalism4im}}, as it is also an "only" warning. However, Huggle detects it as a level 1 warning, causing it to issue a level 2 after {{uw-longterm}} has already been placed on the talk page. Logan _Talk ^{Contributions} 12:58, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Bug in log out/log back in

In the process of writing Huggle documentation, I've had to switch between test2 and en.wikipedia. However, Log out (on the system menu) has a bug in it. When I try to log back in after logging out, Huggle stops working when it's checking the configuration pages. Here is a screencrap: (I had just logged out of en.wikipedia and was in the process of logging in to test2)

Two lists

A small matter, but when using two lists, until the bottom list is fully populated (i.e. the scroll bar appears), there's a discrepancy between where you click and the article that's presented - it's as if the click position is shifted down one item.  —SMALLJIM  19:37, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Report not workin when set to prompt?

I have the report configuration set to "prompt", but so far, when reverting an edit by a person who already has 4 warning,s it's never prompted me to file a repot. Inks.LWC (talk) 04:54, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Does this option exist?

I use the "vandalism" option around 75% of the time when I am using Huggle. Since I am using a laptop, it would be much easier for me to click the "revert this revision, and issue a user warning" button than it is to use the drop down menu. I still use the drop down menu, however, because I prefer my reverts to be explained in a more concise way. Is there an option to link the button to say "reverting edits identified as vandalism?" If it does not exist, can it be included in an update? Ryan Vesey (talk) 23:27, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Actually if you press this it send to user very identical warning Petrb (talk) 18:40, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Options cannot be changed

I try to set the option as 'use IRC feed for recent changes if possible', but this option cannot be saved. Every time I restart Huggle, it goes back to default (not selected). I tries to add 'irc:true,' in the config.txt local file, but it will disappear after restarting Huggle.--119.56.118.45 (talk) 14:00, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Configuration

I'm trying to set Huggle so that no talk pages are included. I can't seem to get the command right.The command I found Here seems to be (namespaces:"alltalk") If I read the parameter correct wrapping (alltalk) with ("") disables Huggle from reading and loading talk pages. What is happening is talk pages are still being loaded and when exiting Huggle it reverts the command off my huggle.css page. What am I doing wrong ? Mlpearc powwow 16:52, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Hmm. I'm having the same problem no matter what I try.. A search has show that some users in the past were able to set this and not have Huggle remove it, e.g., here and here, but that was years ago. And currently, as far as I can tell, "alltalk" appears no where in the current source code. Perhaps it was removed (since one could edit the queues to achieve this, I believe) and no one thought to update the user config page? ^Avic_ennasis @ 23:31, 8 Sivan 5771 / 10 June 2011 (UTC)

List builder

Another small bug: System | List Builder... | Add | <create a list of articles in some way> | Save - just saves the name of the list (as e.g. *[[List1]] ) in the file. It's clearly intended to save the list of articles, which would be far more useful!  —SMALLJIM  10:43, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

The problem appears to be in ListForm.vb, Private Sub Save_Click(), at about line 241:

For Each Item As String In Lists.Items

should read

For Each Item As String In Listpages.Items

Hope this can be incorporated in the next release - it's useful to be able to monitor a stored selection of pages. Enabling the Browse button for easy reloading of saved lists would be good too.  —SMALLJIM  11:17, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Translation of zh:Wikipedia:Huggle/Config is mostly done. However we have a different RfD system. We have zh:WP:FFD for files and all the rest namespaces go to zh:WP:RFD. Moreover, we create RfD subpages by date, eg. zh:Wikipedia:檔案存廢討論/記錄/2011/06/05 is the FfD for June 6th 2011. So I leave RfD part not translated. If it is troublesome to modify the code to this system, just disable that for zh.wp. We can use other scripts for RfD. --Ben.MQ (talk) 23:21, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Whitelist

Resolved

 – diff Logan _Talk ^{Contributions} 00:40, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello, would someone elaborate on the whitelist concept for me please? I guess specifically what I am asking is what it means to be on the whitelist and how users are added to it. For instance, if I don't revert an edit, is the user who made the edit added to a whitelist? Or is it after a certain amount of edits? The reason I ask is because I will many times skip over pages with blanked sections because it is hard to tell if the blanking was vandalism or not, and I want to be sure that this doesn't mean their edits are no longer displayed in Huggle. Thanks for any assistance. N^oformation ^Talk 23:41, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

As an archived discussion states, it is for (registered) users with 500 edits or more. They are added to the whitelist as soon as Huggle detects an edit by them. Logan _Talk ^{Contributions} 23:47, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Strange

Compare the timestamps in the block notices to the diff timestamps here and here. This may not be a big deal but just in case... Tiderolls 09:31, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

It's because of a template substitution error. The date it shows is the date you updated to 2.13. allowing blocks from the Huggle interface. Anyone aware of how to fix it so that it doesn't transcribe till after the notice is given Calmer Waters 04:54, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Tags Suggestion

Huggle has a very good system for prioritizing edits that are more likely to be vandalism; examples include edits made by already warned or reported users and edits that blank or replace the content of a page. I think it would be a good idea to add a functionality that would detect whether a certain edit prompted the placement of a certain tag. Some tags, like "references removed" or "section blanked," very often point to unconstructive edits. While such tags show up in the diffs that Huggle loads, they don't contribute to a certain edit's priority, nor do they have special icons. Thoughts? Robert Skyhawk ^{(T C)} 22:51, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Usernames with special character

I can't see contributions or user information of user Fer:)nandh pt:User:Fer:)nandh. Huggle shows in user field )nandh. May be that happens in other user names containing other special characters. Mosca (talk) 00:09, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

That's because Huggle only sees a username as whatever is after the rightmost :. So User:User:Σ would be identified by Huggle as Σ. --Σ ^talk_contribs 23:57, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Marking changes as minor

Why does Huggle mark all changes as minor (as I've been told it does by someone who makes a lot of non-minor changes, all marked minor)? Reverting vandalism is not minor, and it doesn't make sense to mark it as such, because to the user who chooses to "hide minor edits" on his Watchlist, it will appear that the vandalism is the most recent change. Theoldsparkle (talk) 14:31, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

You could have asked me this deary, because they are automated edits (edits aided by a specific-task program). That Ole Cheesy Dude ^{(Talk to the hand!)} 14:32, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

I asked you why you marked all your edits as minor; you told me it's because Huggle does that automatically; so I came here to ask why Huggle does that automatically. I have absolutely no idea why you think there's something wrong with my asking that question here. Theoldsparkle (talk) 14:44, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

I don't have a problem with your taking it here, I'm just saying that you could have asked me, you're seemingly turning me into some sort of confrontationalist. I was just trying to help you out by responding, sorry. That Ole Cheesy Dude ^{(Talk to the hand!)} 14:49, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

CSD and Prod logging

It would be really cool if Huggle could log (in the userspace) all CSD and proposed deletion nominations like Twinkle does. It'd be even cooler if it could continue a log that Twinkle has already created, such as User:MJ94/CSD log. MJ94 (talk) 16:49, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Brazilian Portuguese not included?

Huggle 2.1.14 included several languages, but Brazilian Portuguese (Huggle/Localization/pt-br) is not included. I am a native speaker of Brazilian Portuguese. What is wrong? Francisco ^{talk-contribs} 22:16, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

Crashing issues

Numerous issues with Huggle today. Move to next edit in queue, won't display it. After so many repeats, it says it has encountered an error and has to close. Calabe1992 (talk) 19:30, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Stats

Right now, Huggle is reporting 130,560 edits per minute and 15,360 reverts per minute. What the heck? — Waterfox ^~talk~ 21:33, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

The Thing That Should Not Be Using Huggle Because He Is Retired Is Using Huggle Again. OK, I have no clue. It'll probably fix itself if you restart the program, as most things always do. --Σ ^talk_contribs 00:07, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Huggle restricts Autoconfirmed

Huggle is restricting me to use Huggle because i'm don't have rollback rights. StormContent (talk) 23:40, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

That's expected. You need to request rollback rights, which is typically more successful if you're able to demonstrate a solid understanding of policy and a history of applying it appropriately. Regards, Orange Suede Sofa (talk) 23:52, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

You also might want to work on removing vandalism more, as you have little chance of gaining rollback rights with only 16 edits to judge from. --Σ ^talk_contribs 00:37, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Overwriting edits

Huggle appears to not be handling edit conflicts very gracefully. I just came across an instance where I used Huggle (2.1.14) to comment on a Talk page and apparently hit an edit conflict; my edit looked like it overwrote the other editor's. It's the first time (strangely enough!) that I've run across this, and I haven't come up on a situation which would demonstrate repeatability yet, but it might be something to take a look at as a preventive measure. --Alan the Roving Ambassador (User:N5iln) (talk) 21:08, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

overriding config subpage

So I've been having a problem for a while: Every time I quit Huggle it "updates" my user config, specifically the "report=" variable. Regardless of what I set the flag too within the program, as soon as I exit it 'updates' to "none". Is there any way to stop updating the config file on exit so I don't have to reset my preferences every time? RandomAct^{(talk to me)} 00:46, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Full-protect the page and make sure you aren't an admin. --Σ _{^talkcontribs} 00:48, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

And I'm assuming full-protecting the page requires an admin to do so...I don't want to annoy administrators with with a marginal RPP request RandomAct^{(talk to me)} 04:39, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

It's a pain. It never used to do that, only from version 0.9.5, did it keep writing the file on exit. Which is annoying as I have some custom revert summaries, so I keep having to restore the previous version with Twinkle every time. However, protecting the page will also cause you problems when a new version comes out! Ideally we need it split into two config pages, one with the version number, and one that's got all the data that you can customise.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 23:35, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Difference issues

I try to retrieve a diff of some pages and some fail to retrieve because it says "no response". It still pops up but why does that happen? WayneSlam 00:56, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Huggle can't always get what it wants from Wikimedia's server farm. Click "Requests" on the "System" menu to look under the hood and see your recent requests and what's happening to them.   — Jeff G.  ツ 22:02, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Reconnection to the IRC recent changes feed

I usually use wireless Internet connections which have some packet loss, which appears to negatively impact my Huggle's connection to the IRC recent changes feed. It would be very helpful to have Huggle be more forgiving of packet loss while connected to that feed, and automatically attempt to reconnect to that feed when its connection is lost. However, before you make that happen, please stop Huggle from deleting my queue when it attempts to reconnect to that feed. Thank you.   — Jeff G.  ツ 21:57, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

But what does it actually do?

As a potential Huggle user, it seems difficult to get an idea of what exactly Huggle does. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place. I feel that the manual (or main page) could benefit from a standard wiki-type introduction giving an overview of the program's features, and reasons why we might like to use it. I'm one of those slightly suspicious people who like to know beforehand why something is worth installing/using. Thanks. >MinorProphet (talk) 00:38, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Blacklist/whitelist feature

I'm considering an update to Template:Tool warning to change how the phrase "or risk losing access to the tool or being blocked" displays, considering making "risk losing access to the tool" an optional parameter. As a regular Twinkle user, I know that Twinkle did away with its blacklist and has no approval-before-use process other than being autoconfirmed. In going through Huggle's pages, I'm finding lists of users for whatever reason, but no check pages of whatever sort that would lock a user out from using the tool depending on their name's presence or non-presence on a list. Am I correct that Huggle has no blacklist or whitelist governing access to the tool? SchuminWeb (Talk) 05:53, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

If you lose your rollback bit, you generally lose access to Huggle.   — Jeff G.  ツ 21:59, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

So a user's name is manually added to a blacklist to where the tool no longer works, or is it connected to the rollback flag in MediaWiki? Or none of these? Seeking clarification on this point, because your answer was a tad ambiguous. SchuminWeb (Talk) 23:18, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Sysops can block user from being able to login to huggle while keep their rollback. By protecting their config page and changing one flag. Petrb (talk) 17:32, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Block message

When a block message is set in huggle.css subpage, the template is substituted. I think this message should not be substituted in huggle.css, buy only in user talk pages.

I am an administrator of Portuguese Wikipedia, but, when I block a user, no message is sent.

What is wrong? Francisco ^{talk-contribs} 13:32, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Breaking change

Hi, I would like to notice that new version (2.1.15 ) of huggle comes with notminor changes affecting all wikis, please get yourself ready:

Whitelist will be located outside of wp using special php script, it will be editeable over huggle only and I hope it save load of wm servers and make stuff easier. (don't worry before release we will sync all db's of whitelist on all wikis, problem is that users using old version of huggle will still update old whitelist ignored by users of new). If you would like to participate on whitelist management you need account on toolserver. The new version also come with MOAR updates and features, most of which can be turned off, since this is a major change there will be a testing phase, which will begin soon, please watch irc for more updates on this. If you have any questions or suggestions please ask here :) Petrb (talk) 20:15, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Internet problems

I've noticed that Huggle may have caused trouble to my connection to Wikipedia. After a while of using Huggle, it starts to say "Failed to receive diff of [page]: No response" which was because the connection of Wikipedia began to go down because, according to my browser, "the connection to en.wikipedia.org was interrupted". It recovers after five minutes. Is this my faulty Internet connection's problem, or does anyone else have the problem? --Bryce Wilson | talk 06:02, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Timestamping bug

For some reason, Huggle has been staying attached to the users I warn, then updates the signature timestamp every minute until I cancel it and quit. This is both weird and worrying. Most likely, this is also due to a fight with the firewall I'm behind. ~ neko-chan :3 (talk) 13:47, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Confused

Hi, I'm not sure if I've found a bug in huggle, or if I'm going nuts.

I seem to have made several reverts to the Snake River article which I don't remember.

After my second revert, I was messaged by user:Allen4names. I immediately self-reverted and while I was typing an apology to Allen for my mistake, (with huggle running in the background), I apparently made a third revert with huggle!

Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

Can anyone explain what happened?

Am I going nuts?

Regards -- Marek.69 ^talk 16:15, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

I am unable to reproduce it can you tell me if anything happened with huggle before this? Petrb (talk) 08:47, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

I am not sure if this is relevent or not, but I have had a similar thing occur to me with warnings (in that huggle has warned the same person two or three times, and I have had to manually cancel the warning action). This has only started happening when I updated the huggle client. --Skamecrazy123 (talk) 14:00, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi Petrb, this is the first time I've ever had something unusual happen with huggle (in 3 years use)

It was about an hour after I downloaded the new version (2.1.15). I thought some new automated feature had been installed.

Huggle notified me that I had a message, I pressed 'M' and huggle displayed my talk page.

I then opened my talk page in browser, read the message from Allen4names, self-reverted with twinkle and typed a reply to Allen.

I then checked the article history and noticed that during the time I had been replying to Allen's message, I had apparently reverted again with huggle.

I went back to huggle and it was still displaying my talk page (no change since I had left it).

As far as I am aware this is the only time something like this has happened.

I can't explain it, although it is possible I did something wrong somewhere.

Kind Regards -- Marek.69 ^talk 07:59, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

I am performing code review now, anyway there is nothing changed in 2.1.15 in reverting / editing so if there is a problem it might be since 2.1.13 which is last version I changed anything related to reverting. I will give you feedback soon, you can of course try to use older versions but I have no clue since when it started, anyway using latest version is better since there are many known issues in old versions.

Bad Word Filter

I just started using Huggle today and was wondering how to import Lupin's bad word filter and use it for my Filtered Edits queue.

Vandals who have been reported to WP:UAA not receiving additional warnings

The already reported mechanism should be changed to allow additional warnings to go through when a user has been reported to WP:UAA but has not been reported to WP:AIV. Reports to AIV often receive prompter attention, and so when a vandal is reported to UAA and stops receiving additional warnings, it significantly complicates getting them properly warned for an AIV report.

Whitelist question

Since the whitelist has been moved off wiki, I'm curious if there's a mechanism to phase out older entries, or perhaps periodically purge the whitelist. For whatever reason, many whitelist entries, particularly of IPs, in the past were users that were either blocked or otherwise problematic that found their way on the whitelist simply because people ignored their edits. In the past, I, and others would periodically purge the list of either IPs or altogether. But offwiki this seems to be impossible. So I wondered if there was some mechanism in place to, at the least, expire out outdated white listings. Shadowjams (talk) 06:24, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

My my, it's been so long since I've used huggle (switched to Ubuntu) that I didn't even notice this ... as another person who would periodically do this, I second this request (and since it appears to be on the toolserver, I would even suggest doing this automatically every so often). Calvin 1998 ^(t·c) 07:12, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

There is possibility to change whitelist (in huggle - open user and there is option ignore / unignore) but how could one detect if record is outdated? Petrb (talk) 07:19, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

There really isn't; the previous rationale was simply that bad records kept accumulating (people on the whitelist that shouldn't have been), so we blanked it occasionally, to let it refresh itself. The practice may actually have sprung from the associated occasional cleaning out of the user list, now that I think of it.... Calvin 1998 ^(t·c) 08:58, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Cleaning user list or whitelist is a bad idea, what it would be for then? But if you want to make some interface just open readme to see how script works, it's editeable anyway posting wl.php?data=&wp=en&action=edit can blank it. Petrb (talk) 09:18, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

I didn't investigate too deeply, I guess if it's open then that's fine. I might even implement an aging script that the project can adopt if it wants. But just to clarify, clearing the whitelist is a good idea because it tends to get polluted with people that need to be watched, while at the same time, the people that don't need to be watched are readded to it so quickly that their temporary removal is inconsequential. I'm glad that Calvin has had the same experience I have in this regards. If you doubt this then I can do a quick audit of the current whitelist and I bet we'll find some problem editors on there. The whitelist is enormously valuable, but if it has bad editors on there it risks doing more harm than good. Shadowjams (talk) 21:30, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Reason why it moved was because it did a lot of troubles, not to prevent people from being able to edit it, as I said, the current script allows people to change it, so feel free to do that Petrb (talk) 06:35, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Unknown Error

Huggle was working fine for me earlier today, tonight it is starting up but it is not displaying pages correctly and in the status bar at the bottom is keeps reading such "cannot retrieve" followed by the address for the last revision. At the end of the line it says "Unknown Error". Trusilver 07:16, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

This occurred with my sesions tonight and last night as well. Tiderolls 00:21, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Does it display pages wrong in 2.1.18? Anyway the other problems will be fixed, those should not affect usage of HG very much, may be temporary due to cluster load Petrb (talk) 06:12, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, it's still displaying the error in the new version, but today it is more sporadic. Last night Huggle was completely unusable, tonight I can go a half hour without seeing the error and then get the next half hour of it popping up every time I hit the space bar. Trusilver 07:11, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Both myself and User:Wikipelli were discussing this issue yesterday and I am still having it this morning. Oddly, it seems to show up most often on the obvious vandalism edits, making reverting them rather frustrating. Calabe1992 (talk) 15:04, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

• I also note a message on my watchlist page that the Wikimedia software was "updated" on Oct 5. Maybe there's some correlation. Tiderolls 23:09, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

• I've also noticed that sometimes the problem starts happening immediately after starting Huggle. Sometimes I can get five or ten minutes before the errors start, and sometimes I can go indefinitely without an error. 90% of the time, I will start getting errors within 10 minutes of starting the program. Trusilver 01:49, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

• Yep, it's happening with 2.1.17 and 2.1.18 for me. Makes Huggle pretty much unusable at the moment. --Deadly∀ssassin 13:33, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Problem watching pages

Since MediaWiki was updated to 1.18wmf1, there have been no pages added to watchlist, even if all options are marked. What happened? Francisco ^{talk-contribs} 00:11, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Other problem since MediaWiki update: in block form, the option "Block editing of user talk page by user" has produced the contrary effect: instead of blocking editing user talk page, it has allowed editing it. When this option is cleared, editing talking page has been blocked. Francisco ^{talk-contribs} 00:27, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Screened edits via ClueBot NG

My current understanding is that Huggle processes the IRC recent changes feed, then applies white list and warnings issued etc. to create the list. My proposal is to have a separate IRC feed created by User:ClueBot NG that removes vandalism reverted by ClueBot and ranks the RC by ClueBot's AI on how likely it is vandalism. I feel the time lag from ClueBot would more be made up by no user ever loading a page to see it get reverted by the bot. I realize that we may not wish to publish ClueBot scores in an IRC channel, in that case an IRC feed that just takes out the bot reverts would be fine. Thoughts? Crazynas ^t 01:44, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

Good idea but it's not that simple, anyway we can discuss this (if Cobi has no problem with cooperation and has time for this), also keep in mind that it would slow down huggle a lot Petrb (talk) 06:13, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

The amount of times I've hit revert only for it to be stopped because CBNG reverted first ^_^ Anyway, if you want a IRC feed of what CBNG is doing, then you can find that on #cluebotng-spam on ClueNet - Rich(MTCD)^T|C|E-Mail 00:54, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

I'd agree, it would make Huggle users more efficient if we were able to filter out ClueBot edits. --Deadly∀ssassin 03:33, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Agree - I think this would be a great idea.~ Matthewrbowker ^{Say hi!} 04:51, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Huggle posting wrong warnings

I've noticed this a few times as of late - Huggle is posting wrong warnings when reverting. Here I reverted an addition of unsourced content, but Huggle warned the user for removing content. Not a great thing to have happen when warning newcomers. Calabe1992 (talk) 15:56, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Fixing now, someone probably messed the config Petrb (talk) 16:47, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

OK, I just duplicated the circumstances with my alt account and the warning it posted was now correct. Thanks. Calabe1992 (talk) 18:21, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

We messed up in which templates it referred to. See this fix. If there are any new problems with the specific level 1 warnings, feel free to drop me a talk page message directly too. Steven Walling (WMF) • talk 21:26, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Template uw-unsor-rand/new not found

Hi there, I had to remove a nonexisting Huggle (2.1.18) warning template from a user talk page. See [6]. Cheers - DVdm (talk) 12:18, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

More: [7], [8]. DVdm (talk) 12:40, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Should be fixed now. Thanks for the heads up and sorry for any extra cleanup work. Steven Walling (WMF) • talk 17:59, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. I guess I could have fixed it myself then :-) - Cheers - DVdm (talk) 10:13, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

Updates

Ever since the most recent Huggle update, I've been told to download the new update every time I open Huggle. I don't know if I'm being thick or if there's a problem with Huggle - is there a way that I won't have to download the new update every time I open Huggle? Thanks. ItsZippy ^{(talk • contributions)} 20:44, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Do you have a desktop shortcut? Cause that's what happened to me, once I deleted the other versions I had in the Huggle folder and changed the shortcut it worked fine. Crazynas ^t 20:56, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Check if you start the latest version before you run huggle (it download new version but keep the previous one), also be sure it's a latest stable version (downloaded with direct link from wikipedia) Petrb (talk) 14:04, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Ah, that's worked. Thanks. ItsZippy ^{(talk • contributions)} 18:30, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

I think, this should be posted as a message or a part of the documentation. Kept happening to me too. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 06:14, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Norton Internet Security

Norton's SONAR protection doesn't like version 2.1.18. It immediately blocks and quarantines the file complaining of suspicious activity. Nasnema  Chat  12:11, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

at the moment I can't trust Huggle at all, because version 17 is doing crazy updates and version 18 isn't liked by Norton. Nasnema  Chat  11:34, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Many Wikipedians use and trust Huggle. I'm not sure what you mean by "crazy updates" but Huggle always checks for new updates upon launch and offers to update if it isn't the latest version. Since 17 is not the latest version, it will always ask to update. Orange Suede Sofa (talk) 20:28, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Hmmm... It probably has to do with Huggle contacting an IRC feed for recent changes. You may be able to add Huggle to the exclusions list. Information about that can be found here . Hope this helps.~ Matthewrbowker ^{Say hi!} 18:48, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

I have no clue why it happens, maybe you could report it as false alarm to symantec? Huggle isn't changing content of hd other than own cache files. So it's very unlike it damage anything on your hd Petrb (talk) 19:24, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Why don't they just call the program "huggle.exe". Every time there is an upgrade, I have to acknowledge and stop 2-3 block requests from the anti-virus/firewall as there is a "new" program as far as it is concerned.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 00:38, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Huggle showing application error

I downloaded Huggle 2.1.18 today, it showed me this error: The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). I replaced it with 2.1.17 and 2.1.16, it still gave the same error. I just reisntalled Windows, I know it has nothing to do with Huggle, but I suspect something needs to be installed. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 06:11, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

I had installed .NET Framework v4. It doesn't work. Works only with v2. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 07:23, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Possible bug

Tonight, when reverting IP edits, huggle asked me if I wanted to CSD (G7) as IP was only editor to article. On checking articles' histories, I found this not to be the case; some articles were created in 2004 and 2005 with many editors. Has anybody else experienced this? -- Marek.69 ^talk 23:52, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Action post block

When I blocked a couple of users tonight, the red circle (which indicates - report at AIV), stayed as a red circle. In the past it turned into a filled red circle, which nicely shows that the block action has completed properly. I had to load up the user in FF to check he was blocked. It only happened twice, as there was not many people to block tonight, so not 100% sure if it was just a minor glitch or it don't work anymore.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 00:35, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

I don't remember that I changed it past months so it might be temporary issue. I will try it anyway to check if there isn't some problem Petrb (talk) 13:27, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Norton

Added the file to the exceptions list for now but perhaps this can be fixed? Thanks. Mato (talk) 22:26, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

Huggle Page

After looking through the page, I don't feel as though this actually tells me what Huggle does. It tells me where it came from, what languages it is compatible with, what the new features are in the next version... But it doesn't say what it actually does. It does say that it deals with vandalism, but that's it. --ProfessorKilroy (talk) 21:31, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

That's what huggle does, for more, open a manual. It's tool for dealing with vandalism. Petrb (talk) 21:33, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

How? What kinds of vandalism? --ProfessorKilroy (talk) 00:12, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

All kinds - it downloads diffs, show them and let you revert them and warn user. It's one of fastest tool for that. Petrb (talk) 18:26, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Well, shouldn't it say something like that on the page then? --ProfessorKilroy (talk) 03:50, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

I'm in the process of adding that information to the revamped documentation. I'm sorry it isn't visible at this time, but I'm working as hard as I can. ~ Matthewrbowker ^{Say hi!} 04:56, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

IRC Feed not working

The last few times I've used the most recent huggle build (.18) I've noticed it's using the API and not the IRC feed. Is this an intentional change, or has something gone away or broken? Shadowjams (talk) 07:58, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

MediaWiki is broken and too fast loading of pages causes errors when parsing diffs. So it was disabled for now. Petrb (talk) 18:24, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Is there a way to login to secure.wikmedia.org via Huggle?

Aloha! I log into Wikipedia, Wikimedia, & other projects exclusively via HTTPS, i.e., https://secure.wikimedia.org. I do this to avoid passing my password in the cleartext. I just will not use any tool that requires me to send an unencrypted password. AutoWikiBrowser allows me to to do this. How can I do it with Huggle? Mahalo! Peaceray (talk) 05:32, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

If there is currently no way of doing this, please let me know so that I can open a new issue at http://code.google.com/p/huggle/issues/list. Peaceray (talk) 05:39, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

I don't believe that this functionality is currently available, but is it really necessary to log in via a secure server for Huggle? For one, your Wikipedia password isn't that valuable, especially if it is different from your other passwords. Furthermore, the chances of it being compromised by logging in through Huggle are very slim. Logan _Talk ^{Contributions} 06:06, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

A friend or acquaintance familiar with networking running Wireshark on a computer attached to your network could easily show you exactly how trivial it is to harvest your password in the clear while you are running Huggle. Seriously, if some hacker/government agent operating against dissidents got a hold of an established Wikipedia editor's password, and that editor had the ability to use both AWB and Huggle, just think the havoc that hacker/agent could do by using AWB to change all the Wikilinks in articles that referred to a particular dissident, then using Huggle to intimidate editors who seemed favorable to that dissident, all the while laying blame on the victim editor whose password s/he purloined.

I will make a request for a secure login feature at http://code.google.com/p/huggle/issues/list. Peaceray (talk) 07:29, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

It's already implemented in huggle 3 Petrb (talk) 08:56, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! That's great news. I will wait for when Huggle 3 becomes available for use. Peaceray (talk) 18:26, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Stats on opening

I've noticed recently that whenever I open Huggle, its stats seem to skyrocket (to about 400/90 last time) and then rapidly drop to whatever that actual current level is. I'm not quite sure why it does this and, though it's not a massive problem, it is a bit of an inconvenience, especially in assessing the current vandalism level when opening Huggle. ItsZippy ^{(talk • contributions)} 20:52, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Problems with reporting

Huggle seems to have a bug regarding reporting users with bad usernames. Earlier I reported a user for a promotional name, which it did properly, then I hit the standard revert/warn button on their edit. Huggle reverted the edit then reported them to AIV. Obviously that does no good, as they had no previous warnings for vandalism. Therefore, it appears that if a user has been reported to UAA and then gets an edit reverted, they will automatically get reported to AIV as well. I know I could use the "just revert" button, but could this issue perhaps be rectified? Calabe1992 21:03, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
