message: Protection's working better than before, but not great yet. Selecting any type of protection will add the report to the RPP page, but it will never actually place any of the options (such as noinclude tags, or small=yes). Before the report, it will usually list "Unprotection" as part of the reason. And it doesn't check to see whether a report for that page is already on RPP.

replies: text: noinclude tags and small=yes are not added to the RPP report, as they are, first not chooseable as normal user, and second, they are not useful for a report. For the second part, a check can be added. →AzaToth 10:17, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

message: When using Twinkle to tag for CSD, Twinkle gives warnings/notifications to editors, even when it doesn't tag the article because it has already been tagged (in the last few seconds) by someone else.

message: Twinkle just created Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Deleg (2nd nomination) while it was actually the first nomination of the article. There was a box with
 AfDs for this article:
 *Articles for deletion/Deleg (2nd nomination)
 *Articles for deletion/Delegative democracy
So I suspect that Twinkle added the (2nd nomination) bit to the title because there was already an AFD on an article whose title started with "Deleg". Melsaran (talk) 18:47, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

message: There seems to be something slightly off about the way Twinkle is checking revisions. Specifically, it will sometime think that a user has made two revisions, when they have only made one and another user has just made a revision. See
this diff and compare with the page history. I've encountered this about 3 times since the update, that I can remember. Gscshoyru 15:15, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Another example:  Gscshoyru 18:48, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Um... that's actually the exact opposite of my problem. And is normal behavior, I think -- the same user made a revert after revisions were checked, and there's nothing (I think) that can be done about that. My problem is that a different user makes a revert during revisions check, and gets marked as being the first user, somehow, and twinkle continues reverting when it should stop. Gscshoyru 19:49, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Sometimes, but not during these reverts. This is happening somewhat often, by the way, though they usually have no effect -- usually when I try to revert some blanking, and ClueBot gets to them at just the right time, the popup will say "this user has made two reversions, are you sure you want to revert?" And I revert anyway and look at the page history, the user has made just one and cluebot has also made one, and I've made none as my version is the same as clue bot's. There's something a little odd about the order things are checked, I think. Gscshoyru 21:52, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Note, it seems to be slowing down. I don't know whether this is due to less people are reverting, or whether it's fixing itself. I think the multiple revert warning came up once, but that was after the window was open for a while, so maybe it's a server problem, and it takes longer for the server to register with twinkle that the edit has already been taken care of.
