Vanished

I've been using the Anti-Vandal tool, but for the Live spellcheck and it's vanished from the toolbox section until this gets fixed i'm currently on hold and can't perform WikiGnome tasks, i'm using Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.11 the latest version available. →Yun-Yuuzhan→ 19:54, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Fixed. →Yun-Yuuzhan→ 22:07, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Firefox

I've been using the tool on Firefox with pop-up blocker off. Revert will work for about the first 20 to 30 reports I get. After that, I will suddenly get a message that Firefox has blocked pop-up if I try to use revert function, when it still shows it is turned off in Tools-->Options. Has anyone else experienced this? How do I fix this? Redfarmer (talk) 14:23, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Note that, if I close all Firefox windows and restart, it works again but starts the same error again after around 20-30 reports. Redfarmer (talk) 14:25, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

I have been experiencing the same thing for a few months now. It seemed to have started when I updated my version of Firefox. I even included en.wikipedia.org to my list of "popups accepted" sites, but it will eventually block again. I have yet to find a remedy for this. ... discospinster _talk 14:47, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

OK here's a solution to the problem from Firefox: type "about.config" in your address bar and press enter. Next, type "popup" on the filter field on the page. Double click the value "dom.popup_maximum" and increase the value as high as you can get it. This is apparently something built into Firefox which assumes that a certain number of popups opened within a session equals spam. The highest I could get it to increase to was 1410065407. Hopefully this solves this issue. Redfarmer (talk) 00:20, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

That seems to be working for me, so far. Thanks! ... discospinster _talk 03:06, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Anti Vandel

Um i cant get it to work on i follow the steps i dont know whats wrong can you hel pme or can you tell me what to do? Greenrico09 (talk) 23:42, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Not working

It doesn't seem to be working now, I logged on today and nothing, Twinkle, Friendly or Lupin was working, I am using Firefox on mac OS X. Harland1 (^t/_c) 09:17, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

By the way the links in the toolbar just don't appear on firefox, they appear on IE and safari but it doesn't work on those. Harland1 (^t/_c) —Preceding comment was added at 15:45, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Seem to be fixed now. Harland1 (^t/_c) 19:21, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

No more Autosave?

When I rollback vandalism, the page no longer autosaves, it just sits there in edit mode. Has something been changed? (I am using Firefox 2.0 on Windows XP.) ... discospinster _talk 02:18, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

I've just had this. The amazing thing is, rollback started working for me from within AVT at the same time, so turning off non-admin rollback solved the problem. Philip Trueman (talk) 18:42, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Flock Browser

I have used the main anti-vandal features on the Flock browser. Everything I've tried seems to work fine on both my XP home edition laptop, and my Vista home premium desktop.

New user help

Hi!

I've followed the instructions on the front, and now have the toolbox functions on the left hand side. Looking that the live feed is helpful, but I can't seem to get any of the functions to work. For example, I can't automatically revert the edit (I assume that this is the rollback function). I have set it to non-admin roll back, but this doesn't work either. I'm not too hot on editing my monobook, and I am not sure if the order the text goes into the monobook is relevant, whether or not there has to be line breaks, etc. Basically, I don't want to play around with what I don't understand.

Also, does this tool automatically place warnings in the vandal's user page? I've tried clicking the uw-test and uw-vandal links, and aside from opening up the edit window, nothing else seems to be happening. The web address at the top does include what appears to be part of the warning, but none of that appears in the edit box.

I should add that I am using IE6.

Cheers! StephenBuxton (talk) 12:51, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Have you added either popups or autoedit to your monobook? Rollback won't work without. Umm, there've been recent problems for others reasons, but look there first. No, it doesn't autowarn. Philip Trueman (talk) 21:43, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Done that - seems to be working now. Cheers for that! StephenBuxton (talk) 16:49, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Automatic revert

Could it be possible for the tool to act sort of like how Twinkle works. What they do is that they automatically revert an article when you press rollback on the diff page. You are not brought to an edit page or anything. Maybe if the anti-vandal tool reverted pages without even navigating to a different page, it would be easier to use. Parent5446^{(Murder me for my actions)} 23:25, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

watchlist

Why does the tool automatically add pages you use it on to your watchlist? It gets really annoying having to go through my watchlist and unwatch all the pages. Is there any way to disable this? Other than that, it's amazing! George D. Watson (Dendodge).Talk^Help 20:27, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

This is a preference you can set under "My Preferences" at the top right hand side of any wikipedia page. :) Tiggerjay (talk) 10:13, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Problem on Mozilla Firefox

I'm on the newest version of Firefox and I've noticed that when I rollback edits the save button is not automatically clicked anymore. Is this a known issue? I'm on Vista, and have never had problems before. phoenixMourning ( t - c ) 02:02, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

This seems to have been around since January in Firefox and IE7 - see [1]. I've tried and failed to understand what's causing it. You might want to see if an admin will grant you rollback authority - that will get you over it. Philip Trueman (talk) 11:36, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

But wouldn't that require me to become an admin? I'm pretty sure I'm not qualified -_- phoenixMourning ( t - c ) 17:43, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

No, not since a few weeks ago. Rollback authority is just that - you won't get the other stuff like deleting pages and blocking users, just a rollback link that AVT can find and use. Follow the link I gave and see if you think it's for you. Philip Trueman (talk) 18:45, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Great! I applied and got accepted (not shocking from the history of the page...). Thanks for your help sir! phoenixMourning ( t - c ) 17:03, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Confusion and misunderstanding

I'm a little confused by the installation instructions provided:

Copy the following content into your monobook.js file. After it is saved, press CTRL+F5 (CMD+F5 for Mac OSX) to reload the monobook.js file. The "m" in "monobook.js" must be lowercase or this won't work!

Followed by the code, then:

Save the page and follow the instructions above the edit window to force-reload the page and clear your browser cache.

I copied the code, opened the page, pasted the code, and saved the page, and refreshed by pressing CTRL+F5 (I use Explorer and Windows ME, which may be why this isn't working, also). Here is where I am confused, however: underneath the code, it instructs "Save the page and follow the instructions above the edit window to force-reload the page and clear your browser cache". Hadn't I already saved the page? What instructions in the edit window? When I pasted and saved the code, there were no instructions above the edit window. Was I supposed to edit the page again? I'd appreciate any assistance anyone could offer. Mizu onna sango15/水女珊瑚15 01:37, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Skins and the compatability thereof

Hey,
I've just changed my skin from the default to Modern and the tool is simply hanging and not bringing any data up. I'm aware that changing skins can have an effect, but the entry about them on the AVT page indicates that if you navigate straight to the recent changes page then there shouldn't be any problems...and unfortunately it still isn't working.
Also worthy of note is that I've just upgraded from Firefox v2 to v3... whether that has any bearing on things I don't know. Also; running on XP.
Obviously the easy answer is to go back to the default skin (which it still works with) but as the aforementioned page specifies that all skins should work I thought I'd mention it.
Cheers,
OBM | ^{blah blah blah} 09:50, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

• Still no comment on this? Just checked and it still doesn't work... any advice would be helpful, otherwise it might be an idea to change the misleading statement on the main page. Cheers, onebravemonkey 17:47, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

• So, I finally figured out that to add the tool to modern you have to edit Special:MyPage/modern.js. I've just done this and it works... but the data covers the whole entire page including the menu bar on the left. Any idea how to correct this? onebravemonkey 13:10, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm also having this issue using the Modern skin. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this? --Mad Pierrot (talk) 20:07, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Chrome?

Is the Anti-Vandal tool expected to work on Google Chrome at all in the the future? Just wondering. Rgoodermote  21:12, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm on Chrome right now and it works pretty well, except for the Filter recent changes. RockManQ (talk) 03:03, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

For me I can't use any feature. Rgoodermote  01:46, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Rollback

I have rollback privileges however if I click Rollback, only occasionly will it Rollback, most of the time it reports that there "Was no rollback link found" why is this??? Limideen 16:20, 6 October 2008 (UTC) 14:22, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Don't take it personally - it's been like this for a while. Clicking on the "hist" link to bring up the article's history page usually gives a rollback link you can use. I've been looking into this on and off for a while but I haven't got to the bottom of it yet. Philip Trueman (talk) 14:49, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank You for your reply-- Limideen 16:20, 6 October 2008 (UTC) 13:23, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm getting this problem too. It usually works the first few times, then I get that error. --HughCharlesParker (talk - contribs) 17:43, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Internal Server Error

Hi. Whenever I try to use the Rollback button I get an 'Internal Server Error'. I'm using Firefox 3.0.3 on Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy). I think my monobook page is OK. I have non-admin rollback checked, of course.--– sampi ^{(talk•contrib•email)} 13:30, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Same issue here. --Terrillja (talk) 01:25, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Autosummary Request

Dear Lupin: I saw a reference to this on the talk page from 2006, but I don't see where it went. Is it possible to have the script generate the auto-edit-summary with a reference to the article, so it says "Your recent edits to [[BlahBlah]]" instead of "Your recent edits" ?

I have a patch that *should* work, however, it's untested and I'm not a JS person, so I'd make sure I didn't break anything accidentally.

In function "recent2.doLine=function(bundle)" in User:Lupin/recent2.js:

Change:

  linkmaker(recent2.articlePath + 'User_talk:' + bundle.editor + '?action=edit' +
	    '&autoedit=s#$#\\n{'+'{subst:uw-test1|' + bundle.articleTitle +
	    '}}%20~~' + '~~#&autosummary=Your%20recent%20edits',
	    'uw-test')     + ' | ' +
  linkmaker(recent2.articlePath + 'User_talk:' + bundle.editor + '?action=edit' +
	    '&autoedit=s#$#\\n{'+'{subst:uw-vandalism1|' + bundle.articleTitle +
	    '}}%20~~' + '~~#&autosummary=Your%20recent%20edits',
	    'uw-vand')     + ' | ' +

To:

  linkmaker(recent2.articlePath + 'User_talk:' + bundle.editor + '?action=edit' +
	    '&autoedit=s#$#\\n{'+'{subst:uw-test1|' + bundle.articleTitle +
	    '}}%20~~' + '~~#&autosummary=Your%20recent%20edits%20to%20%5b%5b' + bundle.articleTitle + '%5d%5d',
	    'uw-test')     + ' | ' +
  linkmaker(recent2.articlePath + 'User_talk:' + bundle.editor + '?action=edit' +
	    '&autoedit=s#$#\\n{'+'{subst:uw-vandalism1|' + bundle.articleTitle +
	    '}}%20~~' + '~~#&autosummary=Your%20recent%20edits%20to%20%5b%5b' + bundle.articleTitle + '%5d%5d',
	    'uw-vand')     + ' | ' +

Which will then generate a link like this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:68.6.162.182?action=edit&autoedit=s#$#\n{{subst:uw-vandalism1|Act%20of%20Toleration%201689}}%20~~~~#&autosummary=Your%20recent%20edits%20to%20%5b%5bAct%20of%20Toleration%201689%5d%5d

I suspect that is a feature all the users of your script would find useful. Is it something you might put in?

Thanks. ⇔ ∫Æ_S dt @ 02:46, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

I have added these changes and it works :-) Cacycle (talk) 04:09, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Fixed the script

I have fixed the script, it should again be fully functional:

• Fixed rollbacks
• Added autoedit code with nowatch (rollback does not put the changed page on your watchlist), loading of autoedit.js no longer needed
• Added Hide admin edits checkbox (grabs an admin list during startup)
• Show/hide links brought to the front
• Closes old rollback windows automatically (keeps last 10 windows)

Cacycle (talk) 04:45, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Still getting "Internal server error", I do have non-admin rollback, but clicking rollback throws an error. --Terrillja (talk) 04:51, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Clear your cache (Shift-Reload). Cacycle (talk) 04:54, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Just did, now I get

Could not process admin list.

"{"error":{"code":"aulimit","info":"aulimit may not be over 500 (set to 5000) for users"}}"

--Terrillja (talk) 04:57, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I have added a quickfix (5000 -> 500). Cacycle (talk) 05:03, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Still getting the internal server error. FWIW, I was able to get that someone else had done a rollback before me, so the code works through the check, it's the rollback itself that doesn't work. --Terrillja (talk) 05:12, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Will check the next days, sorry. Please could you describe in all detail what happens, for which links, the exact error messages, address bar url, what browser you use, ... Thanks, Cacycle (talk) 05:19, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm on firefox 3.0.3 standard config, which is running on mac os 10.5.5. I created a test edit in my sandbox with the text of "sex". I clicked rollback, it gave internal server error. I also saw vandalism on User Talk:Flewis, and when I tried to rollback, it told me that it had already been reverted or something similar. Any other questions, feel free to ask. --Terrillja (talk) 05:29, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Fixed - please could you report back if it works as expected (after Shift-Reload). Cacycle (talk) 17:54, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

It works! Thanks! --Terrillja (talk) 18:03, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the rollback fix. Some of the other changes (excluding sandbox templates, closing old rollback windows, keeping the diff page on top) look strangely familar - an acknowledgement would've been nice. Philip Trueman (talk) 11:20, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Lupin acknowledged you in the edit summary. Cacycle (talk) 19:03, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Rollback

Rollback still doesn't work. If I use IE, it takes me to the diff page, but if I use Firefox, it says, "Internal Server Error." I installed navigational popups, so what's the problem? MathCool10 (talk) 05:43, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Now Firefox takes me to the diff page. What's wrong? MathCool10 (talk) 05:47, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

There was change to rollback recently - now when it operates it shows you the diff of the change the rollback made (which may be different to the diff you were looking at, because of the rolling back of multiple edits). This way you can review whether the rollback was good one. There's an option to take you instead to the contribs page of the editor you rolled back. Philip Trueman (talk) 11:02, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Love

The word "love" seems to come up quite often when I use this tool. Not even in the context of "I love..." or "I LOVE..." or "LUV" but the word "love" alone. It's starting to get in the way. Anyone have any idea what's causing this? Why is it using "love" out of context to detect vandalism? Not knowledgable enough about this tool to change it myself, or I would...
