:::I thank you all. I was quite surprised, when after seeing [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Flyer22&diff=595871777&oldid=595833546 this post] and clicking on [[Wikipedia:STiki/leaderboard|the leaderboard]], to discover that I am so high up on the leaderboard (I'd never clicked on it until that day). But I guess since I spend so much time on the Internet working on non-Wikipedia matters in addition to Wikipedia matters, I shouldn't be too surprised. Thanks again. Glad that I've helped the STiki matters out. STiki is obviously my favorite tool for fighting [[WP:Vandalism]] and other unconstructive edits.

This page has archives. Sections older than 7 days may be automatically archived by Lowercase sigmabot III when more than 4 sections are present. |
Welcome to the talk page for the WP:STiki tool. It works just as any other talk page. However, before you report a bug or feature request, please check the table of the first section to see if the issue is already known. Please do not edit that table manually, instead just start a discussion and STiki's developers will update the table as appropriate.
Known Bugs and Feature Requests
ID | Contact | Type | Description | Status | Urgency |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
T#038 | Yaris678 | Bug Report | The GUI is displaying null edits despite prior code to prevent this. This is likely related to the recent WMF change in diff format | Pending | Medium-High |
T#036 | APerson | Feature Request | Provide an article talk link in the metadata panel as a direct gateway to edit discussion. | Pending | Medium |
T#018 | Yaris678 | Feature Request | Modifications to the warning system. Better automated logic for warning increments, especially as it pertains to month boundaries. Add option for dialogue box before severe warnings distributed and AIV reports sent. | Pending | Medium |
T#010 | Allens | Feature Request | There is a desire to somehow represent (possibly with underlining or a color) whether a wikilink has an existing article destination or is a "red-link". Some investigation is needed to determine how to best do this with the Mediawiki API, and the performance penalty it causes. Could also be a STiki option whether or not this should be done. | On Hold | Medium-Low |
T#028 | John of Reading | Feature Request | Expand processing to include some alternative namespaces, namely "portal" and "help". Existing classification models would be re-used and there would be an explicit new queue for these edits. | Pending | Medium-Low |
T#027 | Arc de ciel | Feature Request | More careful recording of "pass" actions. This would also permit a feature allowing a user to view, ex post facto, how the edits they passed on were eventually classified. | On Hold | Medium-Low |
T#004 | West.andrew.g | Feature Request | The STiki client currently talks to the backend using only MySQL. MySQL communication could be firewalled by some organizations, making the move to HTTP/PHP communications a good idea. However, this remains low priority given that such little mention has been made of this shortcoming. | Pending | Low |
T#003 | Chicocvenancio and Meiskam | Feature Request | STiki exists only in English, and should perhaps put structure in place for localization. Meiskam wrote some initial structure for this, but I am holding on trunk integration. To move forward, we need someone who has the time, expertise, resources (a server), and willingness to run a STiki backend and do all text translation. | On Hold | Very Low |
T#999 | - |
Feature Request | Note that all requests pertaining to the inclusion of back-end classifier features should be lodged and discussed in the sandbox at Wikipedia talk:STiki/Feature development | - |

CHANGELOG for 2014-02-05 release
Greetings STiki-ers! This release was forced somewhat by an (unannouced?) WMF change to diff representation. This screwed up my parser and was causing some STiki diffs to be incorrectly colored. Given that this is inaccurate behavior that could decrease revert quality, I was eager to push out the new version. Hopefully this haste hasn't led to any errors. Changes include:
- The colors and font faces used in the diff presentation panel can now be changed via the "options" menu (T#037).
- Per user request, larger font size options are now available (T#035).
- Plurality switches ("#s#") are now utilized in the default AGF messages, making them more customized to specific revert cirumstances. Articles are also now linked in default AGF messages.
- The above referenced error, regarding diff parsing, was fixed on both the front-end (where it affected coloring) and back-end (where it was causing infinite loops and is used to determine "text added" and "text removed" for analysis).
- This version has been checkpointed. If the "coloring" issue becomes extremely prevalent, I am able to disable old versions of the software and force users to upgrade to this version.
As always, thank you for your continued support. West.andrew.g (talk) 05:58, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- Downloaded and used it. No obvious problems so far. --Greenmaven (talk) 06:56, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
Freezing
I love the new version of StiKi! Love the larger typeface. However, in my first tryout today, I found that the program froze after a couple of edits. I open up a new Stiki screen and it freezes again. I currently have three Stiki screens, all frozen, on my desktop. Did I do something wrong? Coretheapple (talk) 17:25, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
- I am still running some maintenance tasks related to the downtime (the DB tables and their indexes keep getting out of whack, and the "hyperlinks" table in particular seems to be extremely large and nasty for index rebuilds). It wouldn't surprise me if this is causing some queries to temporary lock/hang. I don't think the problem is in the code. If it doesn't clear up after a few hours then we will dig deeper. West.andrew.g (talk) 17:36, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
- OK, but could it be something I'm doing? Ordinarily, when I have a computer problem it is because I poured a cup of coffee on the keyboard or something. Coretheapple (talk) 17:44, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
- Working fine now. Coretheapple (talk) 18:05, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
Admin edits
Okay, I'm still running on an older version, not the latest, but I've noticed, that post the period where Stiki went down recently, a lo of edits made by Admins/Rollbackers and some edits thru Huggle are coming in my queue. Is there a way from preventing these edits from coming onto the Stiki queue? I'm pretty sure they don't need to be undone? Maybe the Huggle whitelist can be used? --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 18:58, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
- I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one to be seeing this, as I ran across my own edit just now, and am not seeing much in the way of vandalism, just really good edits that don't need reverting for the most part. I am running the latest version, if that helps anything. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 16:14, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
- I also got some of my own edits to revert in the old version. Epicgenius (talk) 00:14, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
Click on "Revision Filters" in the menu and unselect "Edits by priviledged users". This will mean you no-longer see edits by admins, rollbackers or reviewers. Unfortunatley, this does mean that people who haven't unselected this option will then get an even higher frequency of such edits, because they get the ones you have filtered out. I suspect this is why there appears to be so many such edits now - because some users have already used the filter. Andrew may want to considering filtering these out of the queue altogether. Yaris678 (talk) 13:33, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
- All the options in the menu are Grey to me. I can't unselect any. I agree with Yaris, this could be done away with altogether. Especially edits made by: Reviewers/Rollbackers/Admins with Huggle/Twinkle/AWB. As I posted earlier, the Huggle whitelist is a good start.--Rsrikanth05 (talk) 05:58, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
If you download the latest version of STiki, the important option is not greyed out. Yaris678 (talk) 09:23, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
- The option is extremely ambiguous. To me, a "Revision Filter" which simply says "Edits by Privileged Users" means that if it's checked, edits by privileged users would be filtered out. A user shouldn't have to consult the Help page to discover that it actually works just the opposite; it should be unambiguously clear from the menu. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 10:58, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
- Yes... I had to think twice about it. I came to the right conclusion pretty quickly though. I would have thought that anyone with experience of STiki would realise that they had seen edits of all of the listed types, and all of them are ticked, so the logical conclusion is that a tick means show those edits. However, this could be made clearer. How about changing it from "Revision Filter" to "Displayed edits"? Yaris678 (talk) 20:28, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
Done -- Fixed in source. West.andrew.g (talk) 20:22, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
Congratulations to STiki on HALF-A-MILLION reverts!
Moments ago, STiki crossed the 500,000 (half-a-million) revert threshold! User:Flyer22 committed this edit to bring us to this milestone and was barn-starred accordingly (User:Widr was also in the running). This has been a couple of years and a lot of man-hours in the making, and I just wanted to thank everyone who has helped this project to succeed. Now, we turn our focus towards 1 million reverts and the continued protection of this incredible information resource. West.andrew.g (talk) 20:46, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
