[BUG]: Cannot view any more edits after viewing first one

Type	Bug
Setup	Firefox
	Hi there; when I view an edit in the queue for the first time, and I try to click on another one (from any part of the interface), it takes me to a screen showing the first edit and a popup with the message "Failed... dev code: 010; error code: 404." I've already tried to clear the cache, close my browser and re-login but the same thing happens when I open a new session. Thanks, Aranya (talk) 21:35, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

@Aranya: Looks like there's issue with your internet connection. Please try to reproduce again with better connectivity. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 01:36, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi 1997kB - trying SWViewer on various setups with better connectivity still produces the same error message. – Aranya (talk) 22:28, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

Woops - nevermind, for whatever reason it seems to be working on my end now. Thanks! – Aranya (talk) 01:03, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

[BUG]: Seeing "The edit has already was reverted." repeatedly when no revert has occured

Type	BUG
Setup	Chrome/Windows 10
	Repeatedly seeing "The edit has already was reverted" even when no revert has occured. Most if not all of the edits I click are getting this, even after re-opening SWViewer. ~riley (talk) 18:13, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

@Iluvatar: Diff 1, Diff 2. I think I found the problem. It is loading the old diff with the current diff # for IP edits. Registered user edits are fine. ~riley (talk) 18:49, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

[BUG]: Inappropriate user talk warning

Type	Bug
Setup	Chromium browser in Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic beaver
	The software adding wrong user talk warning like this. The edit mentioned in warning is this edit (a page creation). I didn't try to revert that edit.Even if I tried to revert, why did it place a warning in different language. So I believe that it's a bug. (There is a discussion regarding this on the talk page of Camouflaged Mirage) Please consider. --Path slopu (talk) 02:18, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

It looks like the tool detected metawiki as bnwiki. -- CptViraj (📧) 07:07, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

It's actually issue of speed, on which we planned to work after some feature implementation.

What happened here is that Path slopu clicked custom revert with warn on at this edit and while it was being reverted they loaded that metawiki edit.

Until it's fixed my suggestion is that until you see reverted diff, do not load new edit. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 08:12, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

@1997kB and CptViraj:Thank you very much for considering my request. I agree with you and follow as you suggested (loading next edit after seeing reverted edit). But now I face another problem too. I am reporting here in next thread. Thank you.--Path slopu (talk) 09:44, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

[BUG]: Automatic reversion by software

Type	Bug
Setup	Chromium, Ubuntu 18.04
	Hi greetings, I have encountered an issue with SWViewer. In some occasions the software revert some edits without my intentions. The edits are reverted immediately after loading it. Then I reverted my edits (reverts) in different wikis (example diffs -[1], [2]). Please consider this. Path slopu (talk) 09:51, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

@Path slopu: Have you clicked any keyboard key during this edit (especially r key)? If yes, you should see SWViewer#Hotkeys.‐‐1997kB (talk) 09:54, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

@1997kB:No, I didn't click on any keys. The edits were automatically reverted immediately after loading. Regards.--Path slopu (talk) 09:55, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

@Path slopu: Can you please provide a step-by-step guide to reproduce it? ‐‐1997kB (talk) 10:17, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

@1997kB: I am not sure that it can be reproduced, may be it happened in my device. But I can explain what happened to me.

• Initially there were no problems with reverting and warning.
• After some reverts, the software automatically revert the edit that loaded in the screen.

ie. When a diff appears, it is automatically reverted and the most recent diff (our edit) is shown (without pressing any hotkeys).

• If we move to next diff this will repeat.

Thank you.--Path slopu (talk) 12:15, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

@1997kB:Hi greetings, I am encountering this problem again.

• Diffs:[3], [4]
• This was happened after this edit.

Kindly please check.--Path slopu (talk) 13:17, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

• @Path slopu: When this happens could you please look for error in console and provide them? Also have you tried changing device? Maybe it's because of faulty device? ‐‐1997kB (talk) 13:45, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

[FEATURE]: Add ORES scores

Type	Feature
Setup	unknown
	SWViewer could include ORES predictions with edits to help people focus on the edits that are most likely to be damaging. See mw:ORES. I'm happy to help if you have any questions. ORES supports ~45 different languages. See https://ores.wikimedia.org/v3/scores for a list of wikis and models available. Note that the "damaging" and "reverted" models seem like they are most relevant to this tool. EpochFail (talk) 14:47, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

[FEATURE]: Adding requests to Global sysops/Requests

Type	Feature
Setup	unknown
	I'm not sure if SWViewer already has a list of GS wikis, but if it does, I suggest adding an option to report deletion tags to Global sysops/Requests. In my opinion, this should be optional (like the informing user of deletion tag option). Some deletions (e.g. test page, empty page etc.) can wait, but some others (e.g. BLP violations, copyright violations, vandalism etc.) should be prioritized, and this can, in my opinion, help. Thanks. Ahmadtalk 08:54, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

[BUG]: Rollback errors

Type	Bug
Setup	Google Chrome, from Windows Laptop
	Error 1:Rollback error: Unknow error. Some wikis requires CAPTCHA and I can't rollback from SWViewer or TWGlobal Error 2:[I don't remember the error, somethink like wrong user]. I can't execute the rollback. If I open the wiki in another page, for some reasons I'm not logged in. --ValeJappo (talk) 08:32, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

@ValeJappo: For Error 1 issue is autoconfirmed right. If you are not autoconfirmed and use undo on any wiki, you need to enter CAPTCHA in order to ensure software that you are not spammer.

For Error 2 it looks like you don't have account on that wiki and when an edit comes and you do undo or rollback, it firstly check that user exist on that wiki or not.

To fix both of these issues please use User:Krinkle/Tools/Global SUL user script and create account on all of wiki at once. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 08:42, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

[SUGGESTION]: Previous diff

[SUGGESTION]: Opening contributions

Type	Suggestion
Setup	unknown
	Right now we have a feature that allows us to open the page we are currently viewing by pressing o. In my experience, users that have vandalized one page, usually have done the same to other pages.

[BUG]: Unadded items are in the list

Type	Bug
Setup	Chrome Desktop
	As the picture shows: [5] 轻语者 (talk) 08:30, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

@轻语者: Could you explain which item you talking about? ‐‐1997kB (talk) 08:33, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

@1997kB: In order to better monitor some large wikis, I created two queue settings, one without Small Wikis and added enwiki and other items in Custom wikis, and the other as shown in the image. However, when I switched yesterday, I found that there appeared to be overlapping settings, which caused some large wikis when I used the queue settings that specifically monitor the small wiki, which caused the pending to be flooded. 轻语者 (talk) 09:00, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

@轻语者: In large wiki settings you should turn of 'Small Wikis' and 'Less than 300 users' options, as these are related to swmt patrolling. Also you can turn off 'Less than 300 users' in small wiki settings too. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 09:37, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

• @1997kB: I'm sorry I don't know what you want to say, I just want to separate the large wiki and the small wiki into two queues to facilitate monitoring. 轻语者 (talk) 09:59, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

@轻语者: In small wiki queue you are getting edits from wikis where you have rollbacker right, so to eliminate those edits you need to add zhwiki, simplewiki, wikidatawiki and commonswiki into Wiki whitelist. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 10:03, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

So why sometimes the editing of enwiki pops up? Like big bang suddenly occupies half of the screen so that I missed a lot of destructive editing. 轻语者 (talk) 10:08, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Because large number of edits are made in very short time on enwiki's so edits are that fast, but you can always filter those using settings. My advice is that create a separate queue for enwiki. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 10:13, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

"why sometimes the editing of enwiki pops up?" When "Small wiki" preset is enabled, do you see enwiki edits?—Iluvatar (talk) 10:19, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

┌─────────────────────────────────┘
Yep but ip user in many time. 轻语者 (talk) 10:26, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Ok, if you click by enwiki, what do you see? Diff is from current time or outdated? (Maybe due to lags of API / your internet speed some diffs insert in queue later, after you switch the preset.)—Iluvatar (talk) 11:00, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Question about functionality

Hi! @Iluvatar and 1997kB:, maybe you would be able to answer my question. My 9:07 edit is marked as an "undo", while my 9:08 edit is marked as a revert. Do you know why it may happen like that? Cheers! Nadzik (talk) 09:14, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

@Nadzik: Have you done relogin between those two edits? ‐‐1997kB (talk) 10:48, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

@1997kB:, I think so. Do you think that it was only when I re-logged, that SWViewer realised that my permissions have ben upgraded? Cheers! Nadzik (talk) 10:51, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Yep, permissions are checked only at login. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 11:00, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Maybe you use two device? On first device you already performed re-login after grant of GR, but on second device you did it between 09:07 and 09:08 today? Please clear cache and re-login (unlogin-login) on all your devices where you use SWV.—Iluvatar (talk) 10:51, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Iluvatar, all of their previous edits have undo, so I think they don't use two devices. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 11:01, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

[SUGGESTION]: An option to not send the user back to the landing page after emptying the queue

Type	Suggestion
Setup	Chrome
	A small annoyance, really, but if you [r]evert the last diff in the queue, the software sends you back to the landing page, meaning the hotkeys (specially [space]) stop working, so you have to click back on a diff to go back to using the hotkeys. If possible, I'd suggest adding an option where, if reverting the last diff in the queue, instead show the new diff so the user remains in the queue. Isabelle 🔔 11:21, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

[OTHER]: Question regarding adding SWViewer to a non-WMF farm

Type	Other
Setup	unknown
	Hi. At Miraheze (a wiki farm) we would like to get SWViewer in order to be able to combat vandalism more effectively farm-wide. However, I have a question, does SWViewer need direct database access for it to work or how exactly does it work? If this information is private I can be emailed. Thanks! Reception123 (talk) 05:36, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi. On wiki-farms’ server-side should be installed eventStream, also you need a hosting (php/nodejs/cron/DB) for SWV (toolforge is only for WMF’s wikis). Need to rewrite some part of source code and configure oAuth. You could do it ;), but eventStream is not installed. "does SWViewer need direct database access" — no, only SSE (eventStream as source), API and tool’ own database (logs, stats). Database of wiki is not uses. Sorry for my English.—Iluvatar (talk) 08:24, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

It would be a great idea (in the distant future) to combine all projects in SWV: WMF, Fandom (ex.Wikia), Miraheze, etc. But unfortunately eventStream installed only here.—Iluvatar (talk) 08:35, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
