message: Regarding the speedy deletion nomination tool, I WP:G4'd a redirect and NOT an article. Twinkle then left a notification on the creator's page whilst simultaneously welcoming the user. Is this an intended feature for when an article gets CSD nominated if the user's talk page also needs to be created? I'm not sure if this is intended for when a redirect gets speedy delete nominated though. Thanks, Fork99 (talk) 10:52, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually thinking about it, I think the intent to welcome makes sense, just I think that the wording is a bit off with the "problem user welcome template" as it mainly talks about article policy. Fork99 (talk) 11:01, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: @Fork99. You can visit Wikipedia:Twinkle/Preferences#speedy, scroll to "Welcome page creator when notifying with these criteria", and untick G4 if you want. –Novem Linguae (talk) 06:05, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

text: @A09. Looks like it's been used 60 times in 15 years. Not very common, but I suppose we can add it. By the way, you can also add it to your Wikipedia:Twinkle/Preferences#warn -> custom warning templates to display -> edit items. –Novem Linguae (talk) 06:35, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

message: Twinkle's XfD nomination toolset should have a feature where it checks if the page creator is blocked from editing, and if so, skip placing an XfD notice on the user's talk page. This is an issue that I've been seeing a lot on many blocked/banned users' talk pages, where other editors have to constantly come and clean up the notices that were placed there, a good majority of them from Twinkle. — AP 499D25 (talk) 00:44, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Not all blocks are permanent, though. Maybe  or similar would be more appropriate? jlwoodwa (talk) 01:31, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I think this has come up before, and consensus was to err on the side of over-notification. I agree with an over-notification strategy. Blocked users may get unblocked, or may be indeffed and may still want to know what is happening to their articles. –Novem Linguae (talk) 02:10, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: I think it's better to allow user-level optouts by placing a configurable template on the talk page. By default, blocked and and even deceased users want notifications when their articles are being considered for deletion. (Not the deceased user themself, but their talk page watchers.) – SD0001 (talk) 08:54, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

message: As I've also mentioned in WT:Deletion process#Deletion sorting should be advertised on all XFD venues, deletion sorting is meant to be used with all XfDs, not just AfD. This can be seen in  which explicitly allows linking to any XfD page or even to PRODs from a deletion sorting page. I think this is an underutilised feature of deletion sorting that would become more widely used (and known) if Twinkle supported it. Nickps (talk) 14:50, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

message: Hi, I am grateful to have Twinkle aid my anti-vandalism and anti-spam efforts. I would like a new feature: I should be able to automatically watchlist the userpages of whoever I report to AIV, UAA, etc. to stay aware of further vandalism developments. Thank you for considering this feature. Air on White (talk) 22:55, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

message: I thought I'd mentioned this, but don't see it in the archives. @Novem Linguae and others, is there any way to fix the issue where the protection has a format error with AfD because of the lack of line break. I usually catch it, but sometimes others (courtesy ping of thanks to @Bearcat) have to. With the AfD troll active there's a lot of semi'ing happening. Thanks either way and of course let me know if you need more info. Star Mississippi 13:07, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure, I can look into it. My first thought for a fix is to keep it on the first line and add a line break. Do you think that would work @Bearcat, or does it have to go on the second line? –Novem Linguae (talk) 13:15, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought the problem was that the template was before the page header at all, but I just did a test edit and indeed it was actually the lack of a line break — if I add a line break, the page works properly. So no, it's not that the template has to go on the second line, I just didn't realize that just inserting a line break would have worked the same way to fix the issue. Bearcat (talk) 13:31, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks both! I don't think it always happened, but seems to happen with every protected AfD now. Star Mississippi 13:36, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

message: Hi there,
I noticed that Twinkle stopped or doesn't leave warnings if warnings are made on the contributions page of an IP user. To reproduce:
# Go to an IP's contributions page, like this one.
# Hit the TW button.
# Click on Warn
# Give any warning, such as Uw-Vandalism1
# There is no  given.
