Deploy
Hey @MusikAnimal. Mind doing a Twinkle deploy when you get a chance? Thanks. –Novem Linguae (talk) 08:22, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
- @Novem Linguae Sure thing! The deploy script is complaining about the Morebits definition not being up-to-date. So I guess we are making that ES6-only too? I just wanted to confirm as I thought that bit was still up for debate. (I don't claim ownership or maintainer status with Twinkle these days, so will adhere to what you and others advise) — MusikAnimal talk 17:44, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- After some searching, I found the discussion. So the concern is that some downstream users of the Morebits library might want to support an old version of Internet Explorer, right? Keeping in mind @SD0001's comment
Morebits isn't much used outside Twinkle. I think the biggest use is DYK-helper with 340 users (which is written by myself - and I'm fine with not having IE11 support for that), the next biggest use is arb.js with 70 users, which is dependent on Twinkle so won't work on IE11 anyway with Twinkle requiring ES6. So I think there's little point in retaining IE11 support in morebits and the costs are not justified.
, and looking at the pros/cons/tradeoffs, I'd be inclined to switch Morebits to ES6, personally. Maybe give folks a couple days to comment, then if there's no major objections, let's do it. –Novem Linguae (talk) 23:11, 9 January 2023 (UTC)- Cleanup to do if we switch Morebits to ES6: 1) close this ticket, 2) add |requiresES6 to the Morebits gadget definition. –Novem Linguae (talk) 23:14, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- No objections and it's been a week. I think we can go ahead and deploy Twinkle if you're OK with it @MusikAnimal. Maybe you can also add |requiresES6 to Morebits at MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition –Novem Linguae (talk) 02:26, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
Done Yes, the Gadgets-definition was not up-to-date with gadget.txt, so the deploy script was requiring me to update that first (which is a clever safeguard!). — MusikAnimal talk 17:17, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

- Hi @MusikAnimal, would you mind doing a deployment again? Four (!) CSD criteria have been repealed since the last update. – SD0001 (talk) 19:06, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
Done That was quite a big update! — MusikAnimal talk 06:28, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
toccolours removed in Vector 22
See also phab:T314254. morebits contains a reference to the class. I'd recommend pulling the styles fully into TW. Izno (talk) 04:49, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for spotting. Issue created. –Novem Linguae (talk) 18:17, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
Add new maintenance template
Could the new maintenance template Template:AI generated be added to Twinkle? IF there's certain criteria a maintenance tag must meet before being added to Twinkle please tell me. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 21:12, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
- This template is brand new. I'd support adding it, but let's wait a few weeks to make sure it doesn't get MFD'd or something, and to make sure that it sees some use. –Novem Linguae (talk) 21:48, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
Account for underscores in rcat templates
subj, Special:Diff/1136143811. 1234qwer1234qwer4 23:31, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
- Howdy @1234qwer1234qwer4. Would you mind elaborating? I see no Twinkle tags in the page history. I also don't think Twinkle currently detects existing redirect tags, whether underscores or spaces. What change is being proposed we make to Twinkle? Thank you. –Novem Linguae (talk) 01:28, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
- Oops, I'm sorry. The detection is done when an rcat shell is added (e.g.), but this one was of course done using Capricorn, not Twinkle. @Wugapodes cc. 1234qwer1234qwer4 11:12, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
- No worries. Thanks for clarifying. –Novem Linguae (talk) 11:29, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Period after diff when making an AIV report
See this diff. A period is added after the colons in the diff which is incorrect and should probably be placed after the optional explanation. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 14:54, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
Why is it no longer possible to specify a in a WP:UAA report that a username implies shared use? –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 04:20, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hey there. Apparently policy discourages reporting shared use usernames to WP:UAA. More info at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle#UAA shared use option disappeared and Wikipedia talk:Twinkle/Archive 46#"Username implies shared use" –Novem Linguae (talk) 05:18, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
F10 is no more
Speedy deletion criterion F10 has just been deprecated at this RfC, so perhaps someone could put it in the queue to be removed from Twinkle? Thanks in advance. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 06:28, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
- Just noting that P1 and P2 will likely meet the same fate later this week, so perhaps it's easier to just wait a few days and remove those at the same time. --Trialpears (talk) 05:56, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
- We have CSDs that begin with P? Learn something new every day! Will probably file a new ticket for those. Feel free to post on this page when it's finalized. –Novem Linguae (talk) 06:40, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Novem Linguae: It has been finalized. If you were unaware of the PCSDs, it is probably because they were used a total of eight times in the last two years (and not all of those were correct applications of the CSD). It appears Trialpears has already uploaded the necessary pull request. HouseBlastertalk 03:07, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for the update. The pull request was accepted by me yesterday. It will ship with the next version of Twinkle. Should be all set. –Novem Linguae (talk) 12:45, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

Arbitration notices
I see that you have removed Discretionary Sanctions notices from Arbitration notices but haven't supplied a general notice about the new contentious topics. Could this adjustment to changes in arbitration sanctions notices be fast tracked? Many thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 23:56, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hey @Liz. Thanks for the request. Can you please provide a steps to reproduce so I know what part of Twinkle you're looking at? As far as I know there isn't much discretionary sanctions-related code in Twinkle, except maybe in the block module's list of templates or something. Any chance you're referring to the user script User:Bellezzasolo/Scripts/arb? –Novem Linguae (talk) 02:58, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
RM/TR addition order
As of a recent change to the addition of new requests to WP:RM/TR, new requests are now placed at the bottom (which makes much more sense), so listAtRMTR
in modules/twinklexfd.js
will need to be updated. I've created a GitHub issue regarding this as well, but wanted to mention this here. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 01:55, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
Template:Over-coverage
{{Over-coverage}} should be removed from Twinkle since is to be merged with {{Globalize}}, which was posted here earlier Wikipedia talk:Twinkle/Archive 46#Nomination for merger of Template:Over-coverage. Other than Twinkle, there is only a little bit of merger work pending. ಮಲ್ನಾಡಾಚ್ ಕೊಂಕ್ಣೊ (talk) 04:41, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
- I'm happy to review if someone wants to submit the code. There's a backlog of easy tickets in the queue. –Novem Linguae (talk) 05:00, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
Template:uw-blar and Template:uw-articletodraft
Would it be possible to add {{uw-blar}} and {{uw-articletodraft}} to Twinkle? The former is a new template that's made to alert users to the fact that someone has blanked-and-redirected an article that they created, and the latter is a template that alerts a new user that their article has been draftified. They're both fairly simple templates—there are only two required fields in each—and I think this would be useful inasmuch as it would make it easier to teach new users what happened to their contributions. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 16:12, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
- Seconded! I was just coming here to make the same request in regards to {{Uw-articletodraft}} – can this please be added to Twinkle 'Warn' menu?! This would be invaluable to WP:NPP'ers and the like. (Adding the other suggested template would also be recommended.) Thank you. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 19:54, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for bumping this. I forgot to make a ticket the first time around. Here's the ticket. Will get this into Twinkle eventually! –Novem Linguae (talk) 20:03, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

Translation template
Could you add Template:Uw-translation to Twinkle? It would be a great help. Thanks! -- asilvering (talk) 21:27, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
Help!
There is something wrong with the Twinkle CSD deletion notice. See the bottom of User talk:Kunalkelekar1 for an example of how this message is now displaying. I delete hundreds of pages a day using Twinkle and this will cause serious problems for me and the editors I'm trying to communicate with. Is this a problem with Twinkle or a deletion template? I hope you can look into this right away. Liz Read! Talk! 07:35, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
- I just noticed that these malformed messages aren't happening for all CSD criteria. My G13 notices are fine but my G11 messages are all screwed up. Liz Read! Talk! 07:47, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
- I've submitted an edit request, though it looks as if several people are on to it. -- John of Reading (talk) 08:11, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
- Likely a template issue. We haven't deployed any changes to the Twinkle code recently. Permalink to Liz's example diff: [1]. –Novem Linguae (talk) 08:12, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Page protection issue
Not calling this a "bug" as I'm not entirely sure this isn't human error as I'm well aware of my tech limits. Thanks @Novem Linguae for the hand holding and let me know if this is helpful in maybe reproducing. At User_talk:Star_Mississippi#Crova6, a fellow admin flagged that I'd unprotected a page but added a protection template, which they had removed. I thought I had seen and followed the directions in a dialog box, so created User:Star Mississippi/Protection Test to see if I could get the dialog to come back up, which it did. When I semi'ed my test page, I got this dialog box (above) and pressed OK, however the lock remained. From this test, it appears the lock is removed if you removed protection entirely, but that's what I did here and the lock remained, so I'm not sure. Star Mississippi 20:14, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
- Hey there. Thanks for posting. Judging from the diffs, I'm going to guess that you did something like in this screenshot. That is, you set edit=all and move=all, but forgot to change the preset and tagging options. Is this possibly what happened? It'd be the simplest explanation. If not let me know and I can try to test some more ideas. –Novem Linguae (talk) 20:53, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
- I filed a couple tickets, to hopefully make this process more intuitive:
- –Novem Linguae (talk) 21:02, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
- oops, our messages conflicted. But thank you! And yes I agree with your ticket that it seems confusing. Glad it wasn't just me. Thanks again for your help, as always. Star Mississippi 21:11, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks @Novem Linguae. Sorry, to be clear I should un click Iconify when I'm unprotecting a page?
- I protected it to test that and got this message, which I didn't expect as there wasn't a lock (yet). When I removed protection, I unticked the box but the icon returned. Apologies again if this is not helpful. Star Mississippi 21:09, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
- I think there was a protection template already on the page in the revision before your Twinkle Test 4 diff. I can see it in the wikicode: However it may not always display. I think the template may have code to hide itself if the page is not currently protected. In fact I see evidence of this in the code, and my sandbox tests. I went ahead and added some documentation to the template about this just now: Diff. Perhaps the icon didn't return, but was just there already and not deleted? That would probably happen if you clicked "Cancel" in the screenshot above. –Novem Linguae (talk) 21:19, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you! That makes sense. The script can see the hiding template even if it's not easily visible. And as Bbb predicted, the bot cleaned up after me. I think we're resolved-at least until I confuse myself again. Thank you! Star Mississippi 21:34, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
- Sure, my pleasure. Happy editing :) –Novem Linguae (talk) 21:44, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Proposed change at Template:Tfm
Hey, a change was suggested at Template talk:Tfm#Better handling with merging a template with a module. Notifying Twinkle as requested. Gonnym (talk) 12:30, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Gonnym. Thanks for notifying us. Assuming your change goes through, how will the merge template work instruction be changing exactly? In other words, what changes should I make to fix Twinkle? Also, will this change be backwards compatible, or is a patch needed urgently? Thanks. –Novem Linguae (talk) 12:50, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
- The edit I made won't be backwards compatible as it would make the code more complex with no real gain (but that's always possible to do). There are only 2 templates currently tagged with the template and fixing it manually just requires adding the namespace text to it. Regarding changes in Twinkle:
- The hint text which reads "Should not include the Template: namespace prefix" should just be removed (and it seems was never updated to reflect modules can be used here also).
- While updating this, should also change "Other template to be merged" to "Other template or module to be merged".
- I'm also noticing that
|heading=
is missing which should be added at the same time (this isn't a new parameter). Gonnym (talk) 14:03, 3 March 2023 (UTC)- Hey @Gonnym. Thanks for this. Can you look over the ticket I created and let me know if all that looks correct? Thanks. –Novem Linguae (talk) 17:57, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

Template:More footnotes moved to Template:More footnotes needed in March 2020
Back in March 2020, Anthony Appleyard moved {{More footnotes}} to {{More footnotes needed}}, citing a request by SUM1 at WP:RM/TR. Apparently, the Twinkle team was not given a heads up, despite the tag on the doc page. I'm doing that now, as Twinkle is clearly still using the former name. — voidxor 00:14, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Please add {{Welcome-copyright}} to Twinkle
I've been doing some copyright patrolling, and I'd like to be able to use the template in one click with Twinkle. There's one relevant field that I would have to fill in (the page that the copyvios were on), so this seems to be similar to other sorts of Twinkle welcome templates. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 04:21, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
- Ticket created. As a workaround until this gets added, you can go into your Twinkle preferences and add custom welcome templates. Once added, it will show up in the list of welcome templates.
- cc Sdkb from the welcoming committee. I assume you'll be OK with adding this since there's already a bunch of "problem user" welcome templates in Twinkle, and this seems to fit right in. –Novem Linguae (talk) 17:51, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
Protection template removal newline issue
