Has the extension disappeared from the Chrome Web Store?

Having neglected to properly set up my Chrome app on my MacBook earlier, while in the middle of editing to get citations formatted properly on Wikipedia through Safari, I've opened up Chrome and found WWT wasn't in my extensions. I looked on the Chrome Web Store and even though it still shows up as a search result, clicking the link throws up a 404 error. WWT is still there on the Firefox Browser Add-Ons page, so what happened to the Chrome Web Store listing? Has it been taken down for some reason? Hullian111 (talk) 16:16, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Please remove the popup

It obstructs the page every time I open a Wikipedia page. 89.245.206.250 12:34, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

Supporting non-article namespaces

I noticed the tool is limited to the main (article) namespace, but I often want to use it in the Wikipedia namespace in order to see when was a certain part of a guideline text added. People usually monitor changes in policies rather strictly, but I've noticed guidelines get rewritten without that much oversight. It'd be very useful to actually know whether a guideline is long-standing, or just the result of a random bad rewrite from last year.

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T333038 is a request to enable WWT for all namespaces, but nobody's reacted much to that.

Are there significant technical obstacles to analyzing page history in other namespaces? --Joy (talk) 13:09, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Seconding this! It would be particularly helpful for analysing the history of policy pages across all projects (which are usually under "Wikipedia:" pages). Curious to hear the team on what are the possible drawbacks and technical barriers to implement this. Parzeus 14:48, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Down?

Giving me errors the ~5 times I try it today. RememberOrwell (talk) 09:02, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

Same here. Firefox Firefox 133.0/Macbook Pro+macOS 13.7.1. --Omotecho (talk) 15:20, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

Can confirm. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:130.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/130.0. Kline (talk) 19:47, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

Just tried to install it, and it isn't working. However, XTools' "blame" is also down, so I suspect this is a problem with Wikiwho rather than this extension specifically. 🌺 Cremastra (talk) 20:26, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

Indeed, https://wikiwho.wmcloud.org/ gives 502 Bad Gateway. Who’s responsible for WikiWho? —Tacsipacsi (talk) 00:23, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
