Icon Bar Bug

When using the 2022 vector screen with the XTools gadget engaged and the buttons for ultraviolet are covering part of the XTools information, this didn't happen with RedWarn so I imagine it is to do with skin support. It doesn't affect the functionality in any way but I think it should be a simple fix that you can carry out. Zippybonzo | talk 08:57, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

@Zippybonzo: This is due to an issue discussed above. We'll begin working on a fix soon (small no-commit period was applied to make way for code refactoring). Chlod (UV • say hi!) 08:58, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

Popup bug

Hello, today I noticed a issue with UV, where if I cancel a warning it does cancel it (as it should), but a popup appears saying the user has successfully been warned. Please have this issue looked at. Thanks. User3749 (talk) 10:53, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

Probably a misplaced statement somewhere. Will take a look. Chlod (UV • say hi!) 09:00, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

RedWarn username warning

Hello! This is actually a request for RW but it might also apply to UV. When warning a user for a username violation, the message says that their username may be against policy, implying that it might not actually be against policy. However, in the edit summary and warning UI, it says that the username is against policy, implying that there is no doubt that the username is against policy. I think that the edit summary and warning UI should have the wording changed to state that it may be against policy. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 19:15, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

Courtesy search for UV. 🐶 EpicPupper (he/him | talk) 06:17, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
@EpicPupper: Repository files are irrelevant for this. Wikipedia:Ultraviolet/configuration.json is what @Blaze Wolf is looking for. For RedWarn, it's Wikipedia:RedWarn/Default Warnings.   Changes applied. Chlod (UV • say hi!) 06:24, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
THanks! It'll make it seem a lot nicer if the user just sees the edit summary. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 12:46, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

Warn menu not opening after rollback

After rolling back with the Rollback button with manual edit summary, clicking on Warn this user button, will only displayed "Sending warning..." notification even though the warning menu didn't popup and no warning has been selected. Paper9oll (🔔📝) 13:24, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi there, @Paper9oll. The toast doesn't concern me much (since it was just a misplaced statement) but the lack of a dialog opening does. Can you provide your Ultraviolet log as mentioned in Wikipedia:Ultraviolet/Documentation/Troubleshooting § Extracting the Ultraviolet log? Chlod (UV • say hi!) 16:04, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
@Chlod Forgot to mentioned earlier, the toast will keep appearing when the Warn this user button was clicked, however the warn menu will not open. I tried spam clicking but no yield. Below is the log for your debugging. Thanks! Paper9oll (🔔📝) 16:10, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

UV doesn't detect the most recent warning level on talk page

Hello! So while I was doing some "Real world" testing of Ultraviolet here on my alt, I noticed that if a user already has a previous warning for the same month, UV doesn't automatically select the next highest warning level. If this is something that's still being worked on then that's fine. Just figured I'd report it here just in case. Blaze Fire Wolf (talk) 13:25, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

Also, disregard that I made this from my alt, I was just going to continue testing UV and didn't want to log out of my alt and into my main just to make a bug report. Blaze Fire Wolf (talk) 13:26, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
It appears to see that there were previous warnings for the month, but doesn't auto-select the next highest warning level. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 13:32, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
Hi there, @Blaze Wolf. Was there an exact process to how this happened? Having tested this just now on User:Sandbox for user warnings, it seems to be working as expected (if you refreshed the page after having issued a warning, not if you file two warnings in succession without refreshing the page). Chlod (UV • say hi!) 20:49, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
I also encountered such behavior when rollbacking and warning users through article's diff. UV is aware if user has not been warned or has been warned before, if one were to hover above the first icon on the top right corner in the warn menu which should display a note (green circle is not warned before, blue circle is warned level 1, orange flag is warned level 2, red triangle is warned level 3, red octagon is warned level 4; on which for level 4 clicking on the icon should opened up the reporting menu) but wouldn't select the warnings automatically, it always defaults to level 1 regardless of the status shown in the top right corner. Paper9oll (🔔📝) 13:54, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

UV incorrect rollback behavior

So I viewing this diff, clicked the 3 dots menu, then "Test edits", the page however refreshed because there was a newer revision, but when I'm trying to rollback this diff as "unexplained content removal", UV instead rollback as "Test edits" instead. Paper9oll (🔔📝) 15:05, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

Seems like a rather cut-and-dry race condition to me. Ultraviolet had (correctly) detected a newer revision but reverted anyway. This is actually a rather interesting case since the behavior of reverts when a new change is detected from the same user should depend on (currently non-existent) user configuration. The default was supposed to be that Ultraviolet will revert anyway if the user remains the same, and only redirect to the latest change if it wasn't performed by the target user (of course, subject to customization). Seems like there's just a lacking statement here, so shouldn't be that hard of a fix. Chlod (UV • say hi!) 17:28, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

RedWarn on SqWiki

Hello!

Can someone help me install RedWarn on my homewiki? I tried following the instructions but that auto-installed it on EnWiki. - Klein Muçi (talk) 11:49, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

@Klein Muçi, add mw.loader.load( '/w/index.php?title=User:RedWarn/.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript' ); to your common/skin .js ― Qwerfjkltalk 15:40, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
@Qwerfjkl, I tried adding mw.loader.load( '//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:RedWarn/.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript' ); but I kept getting Sorry, we couldn't load the rule database due to an error. in every page even though it showed that the installation was complete and I set up my preferences.
I switched it to mw.loader.load( '/w/index.php?title=User:RedWarn/.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript' ); after and the error didn't show up anymore but it isn't working. :/ - Klein Muçi (talk) 16:03, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
Nevermind, you were correct with //en.wikipedia.org... Qwerfjkltalk 16:08, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
@Qwerfjkl, now it is working (apparently I hadn't allowed enough time for it to load in the first time) but I keep getting Sorry, we couldn't load the rule database due to an error. in every page. - Klein Muçi (talk) 16:13, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
I really hope a solution can be found out fast as that table is making working on Wikipedia impossible for me. I'll have to disable it altogether if I can't fix it. :/ - Klein Muçi (talk) 23:34, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
@Chlod, maybe you have some time to assist me. Sorry for the ping but I was desperate. - Klein Muçi (talk) 23:36, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
@Klein Muçi: RedWarn was never built with cross-wiki compatibility in mind, which has led to some significant issues cropping up whenever it's being used on other wikis. For this specific issue, CORS policy is to blame and is, unfortunately, out of our hands (as it requires server-side intervention). Additionally, RedWarn is now only receiving security patches, and we won't be able to solve this issue on our end. You are invited to use Ultraviolet instead, which was built with cross-wiki compatibility in mind, albeit as of now, you need to copy and/or modify the configuration file while we're still working on having UV run out of the box. Chlod (UV • say hi!) 00:00, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
@Chlod, thanks for the answer! I am willing to go for UV. Actually I wanted to do just that when I started but I wasn't sure if that was ready to be used or not. Am I to understand I can go with it right now? - Klein Muçi (talk) 00:30, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
It's good enough to stand up on its own two legs; just have to get the old features of RedWarn re-implemented. If you're going to go through with it, copy the wiki-wide configuration file to any of the following spots in either MediaWiki:Ultraviolet-configuration.json (if you have IA rights) or Project:Ultraviolet/configuration.json. Since creating JSON files directly into the Wikipedia: (Project:) space isn't possible without special rights, you'll need to create the configuration in your userspace first and then move that to the titles mentioned previously. This should allow it to run properly. Be sure to modify the set of warning templates and revert options based on your wiki's set of warning templates (UV will not use English Wikipedia templates unless they are imported), or else you might run into errors. Chlod (UV • say hi!) 00:37, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
@Chlod, uhm, so I imported that config. page to the suggested page. Now what? How do I activate it for myself? (Or how do others activate it for themselves for that matter?) - Klein Muçi (talk) 00:49, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
Much like loading RedWarn cross-wiki, mw.loader.load( '//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:10nm/beta.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript' );. Chlod (UV • say hi!) 00:51, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
@Chlod, thank you! It works as intended!
1 last questions: If certain templates the script uses are missing, would it show somehow somewhere? A similar mechanism to the redlink one? Or would it just go through normally and only then would the template show up as missing? - Klein Muçi (talk) 00:57, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
The latter. Although that's a good idea that could be added in the future. I'll look into it when I find time. Chlod (UV • say hi!) 00:58, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
@Chlod, thank you very much for your fast and straightforward answers! I'm back to editing Wikipedia again after around 1 week of not being able to do that. - Klein Muçi (talk) 01:03, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
Happy to help.   Chlod (UV • say hi!) 01:04, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

Uw-spam1 edit summary

Can we change the edit summary for the Uw-spam1 template to something like "Adding inappropriate external links"? The template content seems to be more about inappropriate external links in general rather than specifically spam (the latter templates do specifically mention spam).

  Changed for Ultraviolet,   Skipped for RedWarn (does not have capability). Chlod (UV • say hi!) 11:27, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Configuration generic template levels

In Wikipedia:Ultraviolet/configuration.json I noticed that "Uw-disruptive" has 4 levels. However, the template only has three levels, with the fourth being a generic template. "Uw-test" also has a generic template as its fourth level, but only three levels are included in the configuration file. What is the correct thing to do here? Only include levels with non-generic templates or also include the generic levels? FozzieHey (talk) 12:10, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

@FozzieHey: As much as possible, the fourth level should still be included even if it redirects to a generic level. This customizes the edit summary based on the warning given (rather than using the "Generic warning (for template series missing level 4)" reason). Chlod (UV • say hi!) 04:28, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
@Chlod: Thanks! I edited the configuration earlier, is that edit correct? Do you have to do anything else? FozzieHey (talk) 09:46, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
@FozzieHey: Yep, looks correct. The configuration changes are immediately applied to all users, so no need to do anything else. Chlod (UV • say hi!) 12:52, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Installation issue

I am unable to install redwarn or ultraviolet. Can someone help?? RPSkokie (talk) 04:21, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

@RPSkokie: You're running both RedWarn and Ultraviolet. One of them will give way to avoid a conflict (namely Ultraviolet). Remove one from your common.js. If RedWarn nor Ultraviolet still starts, see Wikipedia:Ultraviolet/Documentation/Troubleshooting for instructions on how to narrow the problem down. Chlod (UV • say hi!) 04:26, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
@Chlod I have cleared the cache and deleted the redwarn. However, I am still unable to pinpoint the source of the problem. RPSkokie (talk) 04:38, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
@RPSkokie Delete or comment out line 1, 28, 61, 62, and 64 from your common.js and try again, it should work. Paper9oll (🔔📝) 13:02, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Automation

Out of curiousity, why can't non-ECON editors use it? I don't see how it could be abused. Not that I'm affected because I'm ECON, just seems kinda weird to me. interstatefive  (talk) - just another roadgeek 18:56, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

@Interstatefive: We're implementing the results of WP:RW/RfC/A, where editors decided through consensus that particular automation features must be protected behind extended-confirmed (to curb misuse of the tool, whether intentional or not). Chlod (UV • say hi!) 02:15, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
