I'm a new editor (I've been editing since June 1, and I have about 500 edits with about 160 in the article namespace), and I've been patrolling new pages and recent changes. I recently found out about STiki but realized that I don't meet the requirements to use it yet. Is there a way I can get access before 1000 article namespace edits? Should I have more edits before asking? If so, how many more do I need? KSFT ^talk 01:18, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

While I'm most certainly not the right person to tell you whether you qualify or not, I'd suggest you work on more edits till Andrew comes by. In the mean time, I'd suggest you look at Special:RecentChanges more often and demonstrate your understanding practically, or try WP:CVUA. Good luck, hope to see you STiki-ing, soon. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 16:39, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

@KSFT: I'd strongly suggest you use Twinkle in the meantime and then, once you feel you're ready, formally request for rollback permissions, which will automatically enable you to use STiki. --I am k6ka ^{Talk to me!} _{See what I have done} 16:55, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

@K6ka: I have been using Twinkle for some of my edits, and I also made a request for rollback permissions a few days ago, but no one's replied yet. KSFT ^talk 17:00, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Since my last comment here, I have been granted rollback permissions. I no longer need separate STiki access. KSFT^C 17:11, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

These days, I'm not seeing much vandalism or other problematic edits to revert while using STiki. Wasn't much with WP:Huggle when I tried it a week ago either. Is this because so many editors are using STiki and other such tools these days? Of course, there usually is not much to revert on the weekends since Wikipedia is not as active on the weekends. Monday is similar. Flyer22 (talk) 22:30, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

I haven't used STiki much recently, but I've just logged in and I seem to be getting a lot of old edits, say 50–300 days old. None of which are vandalism. What's going on? Melonkelon (talk) 22:39, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Just speaking from experience... when school lets out for the summer in the US vandalism seems to drop dramatically :) — MusikAnimal ^talk 22:48, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

MusikAnimal, considering that kids are freer to use their own computers and similar devices when not in school, I would think that vandalism is higher or just as high when school is over for the summer. Like Melonkelon, I wasn't seeing any vandalism to revert with STiki. But soon after logging on to WP:Huggle, I got this bit to revert. Flyer22 (talk) 22:57, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

I'm currently not seeing anything else to revert on WP:Huggle, though. So the vandalism or other problematic edits on both tools seems seldom. Flyer22 (talk) 23:02, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

The issue started when WMF's last update caused Stiki to malfunction and Andrew released an update. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 19:12, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for explaining. Flyer22 (talk) 09:07, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

I got maybe one bad edit that was simply incorrect grammar. What's going on? Grognard Extraordinaire Chess (talk) Ping when replying 00:18, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, there is significantly more to revert with WP:Huggle. A few days ago when I commented above...that was simply a somewhat slow day, or part of the day, for WP:Huggle. Flyer22 (talk) 09:07, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

Something's indeed wrong with STiki, and it's not just the ancient diffs. I wonder if Andrew is working on it. It's been two weeks since the usual daily leaderboard and milestones updates as well. Widr (talk) 09:27, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

 Fixed -- Per a more recent thread below, ingestion has been restarted and the queues should soon return to typical health. West.andrew.g (talk) 21:21, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

Yes. How I've missed it. Flyer22 (talk) 01:29, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

It would be easier to push a button to navigate to your spot on the leaderboard that is created using the "generate leader-board" function, then to comb through many other people to find yourself. Grognard Extraordinaire Chess (talk) Ping when replying 00:19, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Ctrl+F works perfectly for me. — Jeraphine Gryphon ^(talk) 08:10, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

In the STiki program, there is no CTRL+F functionality. Grognard Extraordinaire Chess (talk) Ping when replying 02:16, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

Hello Grognard Extraordinaire,
the "Rev. Queue" drop-down menu "Generate leaderboard" shows your numerical position at the top of the simplified leaderboard. — | Gareth Griffith-Jones |The WelshBuzzard| — 07:29, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

Still a little bit of a scroll, though. Anyways, this, if filed as feature request, should be "very-very-low" priority. Grognard Extraordinaire Chess (talk) Ping when replying 05:27, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

Perhaps I'm feeling a little blunt after fighting the back-end difficulties, but I don't think this is something we'll be seeing anytime soon (i.e., ever). Want less scrolling? Classify more edits (*grin*). Seriously though, we note your position atop the STiki generated version and you can search the nightly one in-browser. The time it would take for me to implement this would probably be greater than the time savings to users and it seems like a bit of a hat-tip to the "edit-count-itis" camp. No hard feelings I hope, and I'll note that I always welcome community code via Github. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 16:22, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

All recent issues relating to the WMF/Mediawiki HTTPS transition and subsequent database corruption have, I believe, been RESOLVED. STiki should be fully functional on both the client (GUI) and server (edit ingestion/scoring) sides. The latter half just came online several minutes ago, so it may take a while for queues to re-populate to their typical density of vandalism. No data was lost as a result of this downtime. I will return later to describe the issue in greater depth, but the important part is that STIKI SHOULD BE FULLY FUNCTIONAL AGAIN. Our milestones list was also back-processed. A couple new members joined us and probably experienced some really cruddy hit-rates when the GUI was working but the back-end wasn't ingesting new edits. I'm hopeful someone can welcome them and maybe make a special note of this fact. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 21:05, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. Flyer22 (talk) 01:30, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Incident explanation: On 2015-JUN-12 the WMF/Mediawiki decided to make HTTPS (versus the less secure HTTP) the only protocol to access Wikipedia sites (see the WMF blog post). I was unaware that this change was about to take place; something I have found to be true among many tool developers. For those using Wikipedia in-browser this should have been no big deal, as modern browser code knows how to make this protocol upgrade. Things were less rosy in the STiki (and other tools) world where there were lots of hard-coded paths starting "http:// ... ", and those pointing to the Mediawiki API, in particular. All frontend (GUI) and backend (server) API calls began failing at the moment of this switchover. Indeed, the STiki GUI had an option to "enable HTTPS", and those who had that persistent setting enabled probably experienced less breakage, but the backend edit ingestion was running over HTTP and starting throwing errors.

By 2015-JUN-13 I pushed a new version of the GUI. This was a required upgrade, so anyone trying to run an older version should have received (and will continue to receive) a message on start-up they are running an unacceptable STiki version. The front-end was fixed, but the back-end proved more problematic until its 2015-JUN-30 resolution. With no new edits ingested in this time-frame -- but the GUI working -- people were receiving old edits with *very* low probabilities of vandalism. This probably did not give new(-ish) users the best impression of how things operate. The back-end was also affected by the HTTPS transition, but this was ultimately complicated by ill-timed business travel, personal matters, a corrupt database table that resulted from frequent service restart attempts, and the fact some dependencies (i.e., CBNG) were fighting their own issues in the wake of these changes -- making diagnosis tough.

This transition broke all services I have which utilize the API (i.e., all of them). I prioritized STiki repair, and my other reports (WP:5000, WP:TOPRED, and STiki's milestones and leaderboard) were trivially repaired in the moments following the STiki resolution on 2015-JUN-30. Back-processing has been done on these respective pages so no history has been missed. Network connectivity and server health were good at all points during these issues; no data was lost. I believe everything to be fully functional as previous. I will note these issues were not a result of the aforementioned [1] whose potential impact is now quickly being investigated (but credit to the WMF for the notify and lead time, in this case).

I apologize for the inconvenience, thank you for your patience, and hope we've lost no users in this turmoil. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 15:50, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Thank you very much Andrew! This is great! --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 17:01, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

I don't know if you remember my "STiki hangs when logging in, can't login on slow connections" post, but it seems to have been fixed. With this version, login is instant, even though my connection is slow. I'm not sure what specifically has changed, and whether it would even affect login and response times, but it has worked! Thank you! Melonkelon (talk) 22:12, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for all that you do, Andrew. Vanamonde93 (talk) 22:55, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Users will notice a new 2015-07-02 version was released onto WP:STiki a few minutes ago. This addresses the Mediawiki/WMF decision to "upgrade" the way pagination/continuation is handled for API queries that return lengthy result sets. To hop up on my soapbox for a bit, I don't really understand the "how" or "why" surrounding this decision. This decision breaks existing code (STiki; and the previous link points out many bots that might be affected). Breaking legacy code in this fashion is bad software practice, although it sometimes make sense for security issues (which this is not). In other words, things that were working, will suddenly stop working. Better practice would be "deprecating" the old method. The WMF could say, "hey, here is a better way to do things", while keeping the old method functional and just saying it isn't recommended. Instead, they decided to make the legacy approach accessible, but only if you indicated in code you wanted to use it. In other words, you have to change code to say you want to use the old code (*facepalm*). This speaks clearly to the fact the "old way" isn't severely broken or threatening, since they will let people continue to use it. For me this is a minor inconvenience: the "I want to use the old way" changed about 3 lines of code. But now I have to release a new version and my users have to install it. Other tools/bots will undoubtedly break because they didn't know about this change and/or their maintainers are no longer active. Whether HTTPS, login changes, or this --- these (often poorly announced) Mediawiki/WMF changes are starting to take their toll on me as a volunteer developer.

STiki's use of pagination is/was limited to a method that counts the number of edits a user has in a particular namespace, which is used to assess the "1k+ edits in NS0" permission criteria. That method will break sometime on 2015-JUL-02. I anticipate that users who have the "rollback" permission or explicit permission will not be affected. Those who rely on the "1k+ edits" criteria will probably be unable to login to STiki unless they upgrade to this new 2015-07-02 version. I have the ability to force everyone to upgrade via a STiki start-up message, but I am hesitant to force everyone to re-download given the recent difficulties (thoughts?). Given the time, I might also try to identify existing users who validate using that criteria and give them explicit permission so they don't encounter trouble today/tomorrow. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 02:51, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

I have now copied all previous users of the STiki tool into the "explicitly permissioned" DB table in the hope no one has login difficulty today/tomorrow. Under the assumption any *new* user should download the latest release and be admitted under the "1k+ NS0" criteria, this will hopefully minimize tomorrow's impacts (I hope). Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 03:53, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

Jee Andrew, you're going thru hell lotta trouble to get things right. Have you tried talking to WMF/Wikitech/whoever to try and resolve the issue? --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 07:33, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

Is there a blacklist of some kind for STiki? I need to remove an editor's access to it, and I'd prefer not to do it by blocking them. I believe they have 1000 edits in article space, so I can't just remove rollback (in fact, they don't have rollback). --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:50, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Blacklist or blocklist, you will have to address your concern with The Guv'ner. — | Gareth Griffith-Jones |The WelshBuzzard| — 20:56, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, my mistake, now fixed. Blacklist, I meant. A list of users the software won't allow to use Stiki. I posted here because the note at the top of the page said not to bug W.a.g. But thanks to your ping (ta!) perhaps he shall appear next time he's online. --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:00, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. That was my intention! Cheers! — | Gareth Griffith-Jones |The WelshBuzzard| — 21:02, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

@Floquenbeam: I am able to prevent users from accessing STiki using some server-side code (it would be silly to have this check done on the client side, i.e., drawing from an admin curated list, as someone with coding knowledge could modify the open-source to circumvent those checks). List the individual here or contact me via more private channels. Bad STiki users damage broader opinions of the tool, so I have a vested interest in limiting abuse. We should also notify the user in a manner consistent with wholesale blocking. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 21:15, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, email sent. --Floquenbeam (talk) 22:09, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

 Done -- We have opted to ask the user in question to no longer use the tool without first seeking permission (we will re-evaluate on the scale of "months"). While assuming good faith in this manner, we have set up a monitor to alert us if the user does use STiki. I will note I have NOT investigated this case in depth, rather I consider myself a technical extension of Floq's administrative decision. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 14:00, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

In Huggle I am able to back-pedle in to infinity. I am able to press "back" as much as I want (until I reached my first page I saw. In STiki I am only able to pree 'back' once before it stops, kinda like Photoshop edit-history for CTRL+Z vs Paints limited number of undos. Is it possible to go back more than one page? (t) Josve05a (c) 13:32, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

I think that would be difficult, since Stiki is designed to show one diff to ONLY one user at a time. I believe the entire thing is inter-related. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 14:22, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

"Back" is only usable following an "Innocent" or a "Pass". — | Gareth Griffith-Jones |The WelshBuzzard| — 14:28, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

As GGJ points out it is difficult to back-pedle through an edit which was classified "AGF" or "revert" because then we'd have to "revert the revert", remove any warnings placed, potentially back out AIV postings -- and be sensitive to the fact an intermediate edit could screw all of this up. This seems far too error prone. Also realize that every classification results in writes to the STiki backend "feedback" database, so those must also be backed out (versus Huggle which has no notion of innocence). Edits that have been de-queued might need to be re-enqueued, and as this starts to occur at depth you can find some weird logical corner cases. If we let people go back to arbitrary depth we'd start to have issues with conflicting edit reservations. I've personally only used the "back" button to step back one edit when my trigger finger was a little too quick. What's the compelling use case here? Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 15:14, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

As you say, sometimes I press 'Pass' twice in a row, or hold in the button causeing multiple articles to be passed. (t) Josve05a (c) 17:19, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

Should you wish to ammend your previous STiki decision, use the LAST REVERT box by selecting {article). You are then able to edit it accordingly. — | Gareth Griffith-Jones |The WelshBuzzard| — 12:47, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

I've recently helped out with migrating all bugs and feature requests for AutoWikiBrowser (AWB) to Phabricator. When having all tasks on there it's easier to streamline and upstream bugs to other devs. in case it needs to be fixed some other place, such as with api. Just wanted to make a shoutout for Phabricator, it's nice. That's all ;) (t) Josve05a (c) 17:56, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

When I'm trying to log in to Stiki, it is showing the message "Error in the user log-in interface likely caused by network error Exception thrown to terminate thread". Is STiki down again or any problem in my pc? -AsceticRosé 15:28, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

It's working for me. Are you using the latest version? Widr (talk) 15:36, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

The local version of Java could also be an issue. This is the issue I needed to fix above on the server, and I don't believe that kind of SSL support is something I can compile into the release JAR; it is a property on the user's machine. Java 7+ is required. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 16:28, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I'm using the latest version. It still shows the same message. My Java is 6.0.240. I will try Java 7+ soon. Thanks for feedback. -AsceticRosé 16:29, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Installing Java 8 fixed the problem. -AsceticRosé 23:13, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

FYI, same issue, installing new version of Java fixed. -War wizard90 (talk) 00:03, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Andrew,

Have you seen this paper? They claim to have a system supperior to both CBNG and STiki at detecting vandalism. It would be awesome if it could be integrated into STiki in the same way as CBNG.

Yaris678 (talk) 11:23, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

I had not before you sent it. I'll give it a deeper read as time permits, but footnote [4] did catch my eye in that their dataset (and presumably, evaluation corpus) only consider the work of registered editors vs. the IPs that are responsible for much vandalism. Regardless, KDD is an excellent conference and I am sure the paper's merits will be revealed upon deeper reading. I would also welcome these authors to implement their tool in a live fashion for integration into the STiki tool. All I ever need from any system author is an IRC feed or API that spits out (revision_id, score) pairs. Maybe we should invite the authors here for discussion? I'll also note that are a number of system's that are besting CBNG and STiki in the literature now (indeed, even my own mash-up of metadata+reputation+NLP with Adler and Velasco), but the issue is getting live implementations. West.andrew.g (talk) 14:18, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

I'd seriously think calling them over and having a discussion here would be great! --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 18:36, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

With yesterday's usage of the tool by User:Presidentman, STiki has now had 1000 users classify 1+ edits. This seems like a noteworthy milestone as we now make progress towards 1 million edits reverted. As an aside, it is a bit coincidencal that User:Presidentman's userboxes indicate he "lives in or hails from" the town immediately adjacent to where I was raised; he is also a fan of WVU (as am I); and plenty of other interesting parallels. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this tool. As free time permits, I plan to eventually mine STiki's wealth of usage data to write an academic paper that characterizes patroller behaviors/lifespan/etc. (collaborators welcome!). Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 18:09, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Nice job all around! — k_scheik ^{talk to me!} 02:32, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Great going Andrew! As a long-time Stiki user, I'd like to pitch in with your paper in any way that I can. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 18:38, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Alarms are going off in my STiki monitoring tools. STiki isn't ingesting new edits. CBNG is also down. I am getting weird errors I've never seen before related to HTTPS/SSL/key-lengths. Nothing brewing over at WP:VPT. Investigation ongoing, though I am feeling a little frustrated with the constant breaking changes and/or my inability to keep things up. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 03:32, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Posted to WP:VPT on Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#API_calls_just_starting_throwing_SSL.2FHTTPS_.28.3F.29_errors. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 04:01, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Are folks getting edits and able to classify using the client? Is this just a backend issue? Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 15:15, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Seems to be the latter. Edits are coming normally. Widr (talk) 15:22, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

 Done -- I believe I have resolved the issue on my server by upgrading the crypto libraries associated with Java (another shout out to the WMF/Mediawiki teams who like to break things without telling anyone!). The "STiki metadata" queue is ingesting as normal. The CBNG bot and feed remain down, so I have made "STiki (metadata)" the default queue that everyone will pull from upon login. The vandalism density should be pretty rich until CBNG comes back online. Anyone with an ancient Java install on their local machine might have GUI issues. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 20:06, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

CBNG is back up and reset as the default queue. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 03:25, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

I think you should post about this at the Phabircator. Maybe someone will make note of it. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 18:39, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Is STiki pronounced as "sticky" or as the letters spelled out? Eat me, I'm a red bean (take a huge bite)^{i've made a huge mess} 23:39, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

That was asked before here: Wikipedia talk:STiki/Archive 19#Pronunciation. -Ugog Nizdast (talk) 05:54, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

The consensus is "sticky". — | Gareth Griffith-Jones |The WelshBuzzard| — 07:18, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

It's like how Huggle is pronounced Hug-il, Stiki is pronounced Sticky. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 17:05, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Hello, as somebody who's red/green colorblind I've always had to invert the colors of my screen to use STiki (hence the reason I haven't been using it much), but I'd really like to be able to. The issue is, when you're looking at the diff, the background is in green and the changed text is in red. The contrast between the two makes it impossible (and presumably everybody else who's colorblind) to use the tool without altering the color at all. Is there anything that can be done about this? Kharkiv07 (T) 03:52, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

You can change how the diff is displayed. Options > Browser Colors (restart) > and then this is where you can customise the appearance. Melonkelon (talk) 11:21, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. Kharkiv07 (T) 21:17, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi! I've been renamed 2 times (User:HackedBotato -> User:GottaGoFast -> User:Liance), and it seems that all 3 names are listed on the STiki leaderboard as different users. Would there be a way to fix this? I'm not really concerned about this, just wanted to bring it to the attention of STiki's managers in case it hasn't been done so before. ~Liance^{talk/contribs} 19:17, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

@Liance: Classifications are associated with the account name under which they were committed. I can re-map them all onto a single account, manually, though. Would you like all these aggregated under your User:Liance name? Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 01:51, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

That would be great, West.andrew.g, thanks! ~Liance^{talk/contribs} 04:05, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

 Done -- @Liance: Change will be reflected at next leaderboard generation (within 24 hours). Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 08:51, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

It's been down for around 5 hours now (User_talk:ClueBot_Commons) so I decided to make the switch. West.andrew.g (talk) 13:59, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

Should be back up by now. --I am k6ka ^{Talk to me!} _{See what I have done} 18:18, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

 Done -- Switched back. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 19:08, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure it's just me, but I've been unable to connect to STiki since yesterday. What's going on? lavender|^{(formerly HMSSolent)}|lambast 01:48, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

HMSSolent, it's not just you. We always have to deal with STiki being down. Flyer22 (talk) 03:13, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Yep. It's down since yesterday. One of those rare occasions. Pinging @West.andrew.g: in case he's not aware. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 06:32, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

He is aware, see his talk page. Widr (talk) 06:34, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

C -- STiki is down, and I've contacted my colleague. Unfortunately, he reports that physical security has changed and he no longer has access; troubleshooting that now. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 18:23, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

 Done -- Everything should be back online and queues are re-populating. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 18:23, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Working now - thanks! lavender|^{(formerly HMSSolent)}|lambast 00:00, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

STiki hasn't been loading for the past few hours. I've tried on two different connections. Is it just me? --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 11:33, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

It is down, again. Widr (talk) 12:00, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

 Done -- Only briefly down in this case, as part of University maintenance. STiki came back online very soon after the connectivity was restored. There have been a bunch of maintenance windows recently, which seems a bit odd, as they usually try to get these things done before students arrive back on campus rather than after. Either way, I expect them to die down, and we were as reactive as possible in this case. West.andrew.g (talk) 14:51, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick response. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 14:56, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

Sorry for my last misplaced post.

I would like to request permission to use STiki, and I think that I would be a responsible user of the tool. I have reverted many instances of vandalism before, and I would enjoy having a tool that made this quicker & more effecient for me. I am a new editor of Wikipedia, but I have only the best intentions in mind & want to help make wikipedia a better place.

Thank you for reading my request. --Cellulosic (talk) 21:15, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

User actually seems to have a couple of good edits relating to reverting and undoing. But I'm concerned because their total edit count is 83. Please do edit more in the meantime. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 06:01, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

Also demonstrates no familiarity with the warning hierarchy. Is WP:CVUA still active in practice? West.andrew.g (talk) 17:31, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

Full disclosure, I only have a couple days of experience. And, if someone is willing to help me and show me the ropes I would be extremely thankful. I understand if my request is denied due to me being a new editor. Cellulosic (talk) 19:31, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

The link Andrew gave you (CVUA) is something you might want to consider. I looked at your edits too, and they seem fine. With some of them, you could have left a warning to the user's talk page, but most seem like harmless test edits. I suggest you check out the CVUA thing and keep doing what you are doing. You only need 1000 edits to automatically qualify to use STiki anyway. Widr (talk) 19:41, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

And I tend to grant special requests with far less if one has completed CVUA training. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 20:16, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

Agreed, CVUA is the best way to go forward, however, if you need any assistance, feel free to ping me. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 01:55, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I am Peppy Paneer. Been here for a while fighting against vandalism (more than 80% of my time on Wikipedia and edits are related to New page patrolling and reverting vandalism). Initially started by patrolling Recent changes page, using Twinkle for warnings. Then, granted Rollback rights and using this function. And latter started using Huggle. Facing some problem with Huggle loading on my laptop from more than 15 days. Now, I want to use STiki as it has few extra features too which will be helpful. I read about it on the project page. Only issue is I have not 1000 edits in the article name space. Please see my contributions and tell whether I can have the special permission to use STiki before 1000 article edits. Thanks Peppy Paneer (talk) 13:49, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

You are a rollbacker, so you should be automatically able to use STiki. Widr (talk) 13:53, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

Project page says "The account must have either: (1) the rollback permission/right, (2) at least 1000 article edits (in the article namespace, not talk/user pages), or (3) special permission via the talk page." So I thought requirement is both (1) & (2) or (3). Anyways, Thank you for clarifying. I will download and use. Peppy Paneer (talk) 19:28, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

Looking at this revert, it looks like STiki has seen $6 and interpreted it as a code for the date when the edit being reverted was made. Is this a thing that STiki does? Can it be made to not do that? Yaris678 (talk) 18:24, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

STiki does have a couple substitution codes that can be used when leaving a comment. They are seen described beginning on line 190 of [2] which shows these are things like "#u#" and "#t#". Observe that the "current time" isn't even a supported function. I can't really imagine how this "$6" thing is getting substituted in tool. Can you duplicate it using STiki? West.andrew.g (talk) 20:13, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

My main, non-work computer now uses Windows RT, which doesn't allow Java. :-(

I will try to replicate the problem next time I get a chance. Nothing to stop others putting $6 in their edit summary, as a test, to see if they get a similar issue.

Yaris678 (talk) 12:33, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I have been reverting vandalism using the slow method; it is time consuming. I would like to use STiKi to make these efficient. So said The Great Wiki Lord. (talk) 14:10, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

Unfortunately, you've only made 114 edits overall, which means you're unlikely to be granted permission to use the tool (I can't grant STiki rights, strong hunch however). I can sympathise with how slow editing just recent changes can be. Don't give up hope, and try enrolling in the WP:CVU to get anti-vandalism training. You might then be able to reapply for Rollback and get access to anti-vandal tools. Cheers. ~ NottNott talk|contrib 14:20, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

Agreed. A little more experience OR completion of WP:CVU would give me the confidence to grant special permission. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 18:33, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

For Mac OS, the classification menu, where the revert buttons are, is too large. This makes all the buttons enlarged and the 4im button cannot be seen too. I think the width should be decreased. Andrew, I can email you a snapshot of it if you want. ‑Ugog Nizdast (talk) 14:39, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

I actually made the switch to Mac OS X earlier this year and was disappointed to find that STiki visually rendered as poorly as it does. Part of the point of Java being a cross-platform language is that things should look and work the same across different operating systems. If you compare what you see on the Mac relative to the on-wiki screenshot produced in Windows/Linux -- it is clear this is not the case.

GUI programming for even a single platform is a pretty complex beast, with layers upon layers of "struts" and "glue" that keep things aligned, centered, and growing/shrinking in proportion for different window sizes. Why OS-X is interpreting some of these instructions differently isn't immediately clear. I spent a couple hours trying to troubleshoot this earlier this year in both forums and code without immediate luck. I will note this remains the most important bug on my radar, absent those things that come up which break the tool completely. On my installation, the GUI is pretty disfigured, but all the buttons are still at least mostly visible. Is that the case for everyone else? West.andrew.g (talk) 18:47, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi there. Whenever I'm using STiki past the half-hour mark, it seems to lag. The lag increases as time passes, or after repeatedly switching between programs. lavender|^{(formerly HMSSolent)}|lambast 04:46, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

PS:the lagging here refers to the general performance of the STiki GUI, as opposed to the occasional queue lags where edits older than 1 day would usually pop up. lavender|^{(formerly HMSSolent)}|lambast 04:49, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Have others experienced the same thing? West.andrew.g (talk) 05:00, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

I can never get that far - with me STiki starts using 99% of CPU resources after a few minutes (for the last few/several weeks at least). Materialscientist (talk) 11:15, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

I've been unable to use STiki on this netbook recently due to its incredibly high CPU usage within a few seconds of starting up, resulting in severe lag. This is unusual, since STiki has worked in the past without this dilemma. --I am k6ka ^{Talk to me!} _{See what I have done} 11:22, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

This doesn't sound good. I'll give it a look. Since this wasn't happening in the past, but seems to be happening now, this speaks to a change on the WMF side. I remember we encountered something similar in the past, and it was because they changed how something was formatted on only a small percentage of pages (either an update was not applied across all servers, or they were doing something as a trial). When STiki encountered the weirdness, its parser went into an infinite loop, eating CPU and stalling the thread -- but its multi-threaded nature allowed the broader program to keep functioning. I'll start down a similar trail here. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 17:25, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

I have it and I still have no idea how to use it. Are there extra buttons when you click on a diff? Is there another little display next to the Twinkle one? I unzipped the file, as I was meant to. --Rubbish computer 21:34, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

@Rubbish computer: Unzip the file and move its contents to a folder on your computer. Open the .jar file. STiki is a standalone application like Huggle and has no effect within the web browser. --I am k6ka ^{Talk to me!} _{See what I have done} 23:10, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

@K6ka: Thanks. I have a problem: on my old computer, I needed an app to open the folder, which meant getting a Microsoft account. This caused my computer to automatically update to Windows 8, promoting it to die: it was on its way out anyway. Can I get the file on another computer- do I need to download it again? I'm temporarily using a different computer until the new one arrives. Should I wait until the new one arrives before downloading the file again, if I need to do so? Thanks, --Rubbish computer 23:36, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

You can open ZIP files without the need for downloading additional software, see [3]. Works in all editions of Windows. And such a decision is entirely up to you, although with the issue about STiki being a CPU-gobbler recently, you might want to use STiki on a more powerful computer rather than one that's about to give up the ghost. --I am k6ka ^{Talk to me!} _{See what I have done} 23:47, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

@K6ka: Thanks, I'll wait until I get the new one. --Rubbish computer 00:27, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

An editor posted the following on my talk page, regarding the automatic warnings that Stiki generates: "Hey there! I saw that you informed another individual that one of their edits was of poor quality (or marked as vandalism). For the sake of clarity, would you mind putting those comments under the October 2015 section? With the chronological comments, it is easier to track vandalism. Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions!" -could the tool do this automatically? JungerMan Chips Ahoy! (talk) 21:51, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

It does, under normal circumstances. On which revert was this not the case? lavender|^{(formerly HMSSolent)}|lambast 00:37, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

STiki just presented me with a double-diff in James Page made 80 days ago by an autoconf user. Is that a Cluebot-NG thing? Sam Sailor ^Talk! 12:13, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

Twice daily reports were indicating ingestion was healthy, but I gave STiki a restart just for the heck of it when I noticed these posts. I forgot to write here just after I did that -- but hopefully the problem is now fixed regardless. STiki has been seeing pretty heavy usage and higher than typical revert-rates over the past couple days, and while that could explain minor queue depletion, it shouldn't have gotten that bad.

As the previous request, I am asking for the right to use STiki to counter a surge of vandalism among the articles I often edit.

Historian (talk) 22:50, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

You can use STiki if you have rollback rights. It's 1,000 mainspace edits OR rollback rights OR special permission. Thanks, Melonkelon (talk) 22:59, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

@Historian: You do not have the rollback user right. You can request it at WP:PERM/R. Best — MusikAnimal ^talk 03:13, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

@Melonkelon: and @West.andrew.g: thanks for the info. @MusikAnimal: I think you are confusing me with a different user. Though my nickname is indeed Historian, my username is dennishidalgo. Above, you just hailed another user: Historian . But let me be sure: If I am using Twinkle and the "rollback" option appears in the entries in my watchlist, this means I do in fact have rollback rights, isn't? At any rate, I am requesting CVU training, as if starting from the start, just in case. Historian (talk) 05:54, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Oops, I did ping the wrong user! You should probably change your signature to match your username, or at least not match someone else's, for this very reason. Anyway, what you're seeing are links generated by Twinkle. Twinkle offers rollback-like functionality, rollback itself is a user right that must be explicitly granted, and gives you access to tools like STiki and Huggle. If you had rollback it would show up here, or you can check the "Member of groups" line at Special:Preferences. The CVU training is an excellent place to learn. Feel free to request at WP:PERM/R when you feel you are ready. Best — MusikAnimal ^talk 06:09, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

@MusikAnimal: Thanks for the valuable info. Historiador (talk) 21:29, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello coSTikians, I have a question. Ever more frequently I see editors who insert some vandalism of a kind, and then immediately after (say after one minute) retract it, so revert their own V-edit. Which means that when you happen to bump on the first edit, you have to take care and observe the second one as well (by opening up the whole entry). You also observe this phenomenon? And if so, why is this attractive to some people; and is it a new phenomenon? NOTE: The phenomenon might be specific for Huggle; maybe one does not get to see such edits in STiki. Thanks, Super48paul (talk) 11:23, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

This we call a "self-revert". Some are just testing; some probably want to copy or link to the page in its vandalised state to show their friends. Twinkle has a {{uw-selfrevert}} user notice if you want to tell them not to do it. Don't worry, STiki won't re-revert: if the same editor or someone else makes the revert before you press the button on STiki, you'll see a "Beaten to Revert" message in the Last Revert box: Noyster (talk), 12:22, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

I am a dedicated Anti-Vandal, with about 2 hours a day on Wikipedia and 1 hour browsing RTRC. Even though I am using Twinkle, for me I'd also like to have the STiki tool. Even though I am not even close to the requirements, I hope that you will give me permission. Regards, Dat GuyWiki (talk) 12:27, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Looking at this user's talk page earlier today I'd prefer this user to complete counter-vandalism academy and build up more of a history of accurate contributions before being granted the tool: Noyster (talk), 19:55, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I know my user talk page seems bad, however if you look at my recent contributions, you'll see a new story. Dat GuyWiki (talk) 23:27, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

@Noyster: Also, all of the people I've reported were blocked.

Real-life is crazy. Can an experienced STiki user/stalker make a recommendation in this case? Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 15:32, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

@West.andrew.g: Not sure about a recommendation however Materialscientist, JamesBWatson, and NeilN have all helped me and blocked users I've reported to WP:AIV. Also, if you guys come here because of a notification of me mentioning you there is no need of commenting, maybe just giving a "yes" or "no" for my request.

Hello Dat Guy, since you are asking: my advice = no permission for now. After seeing some of the "interchanges" you have been involved in, it would seem to be wise policy to wait a while and enroll in this academy. I am sure you will make it. Good luck. Super48paul (talk) 08:39, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

 Not done -- Being busy with real life and unable to investigate it full, I am following Super48paul's suggestion here. I see there is a WP:CVUA userbox on your talk page. We typically consider completion of that program as sufficient to gain STiki permission, and I wish you the best of luck in that regard. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 04:58, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

This is indeed odd. Special permission was not granted. I've posted to the user's talk page to try to get an explanation. I don't want to start throwing out accusations, but it would be possible to circumvent these checks by tweaking and re-compiling STiki's source code. I can start digging through server logs if need be, but let's see what the user tell us. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 04:54, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

See User_talk:West.andrew.g#My_STiki_usage. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 17:33, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

To continue this conversation - I would like to help develop this software and have forked the github project accordingly. However, it is a little annoying to have to have specially modified versions of the files that bypass the permissions check - it makes things a little complicated when working with the git repo etc. I think that my edit history and transparency regarding this make me a good candidate for being granted the permissions to use this tool. If anything - granting me these would not actually change anything in terms of my ability to use the tool, but would make development easier. In a similar vein - it might also be a good idea if I could be manually confirmed as a user, as my use of the tool triggers the abuse log at the moment. What are your thoughts, @West.andrew.g:? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Spolglans (talk • contribs) 16:47, 8 December 2015‎ (UTC)

 Done -- @Spolglans: Access granted to STiki, though as this is an exceptional circumstance, I'll note that to the rest of the team that I'll probably audit this users reverts initially just to make sure everything is smooth sailing. You need to become a "confirmed user" to slip around the edit filter. I'm pretty sure I could do that as an admin, but I don't really know the precedent or want to step on toes (see Wikipedia:Requests_for_permissions/Confirmed). That said, you'll be "autconfirmed" 4 days after account creation, which is just a couple hours away for you I think, so it probably isn't worth the trouble to file a request. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 20:19, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

The user rename issues are getting out of hand recently. Maybe we can inform all the existing users to leave a note here whenever they have a user name change so that no more confusions arise. I think a mass message to all existing users could do the job. Thanks, ƬheStrikeΣagle 07:46, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

I did take a brief look and it appears difficult to query for user renames directly via the API. Anyone know any hacks around this? Else we won't be automating this as part of milestone reporting. Instead, looks like we'll need to rely on the humans themselves to tell us. It's also worth nothing that STiki classification counts are usually lost during a rename, but I am able to remap them to the new account so they don't lose that effort. That's the real incentive for someone to tell us. While we've seen a couple renames; might a mass message be overkill? Is there any better way to notify besides this discussion? Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 20:04, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Leaving the past incidents aside, we can probably prevent future instances by adding a few lines in the Welcome Template?? like please note that having a username after beginning to use STiki will erase your previous contributions and start afresh. So please let us know if you had a username change in bold letters so that users take note of it. Cheers, ƬheStrikeΣagle 17:21, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Agreed. Feel free to be bold and make the change to the template yourself. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 20:44, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
