thread_title:  Not Working 

message: I noticed you trying out some scripts on Wikipedia:Sandbox, so I thought you'd be a good person to ask a question.  I'm a professional coder with a fair knowledge of Javascript and was thinking of trying out a few things with scripts within Wikipedia.  I was wondering if you might know where I can look to find:
* A tutorial on user scripts
* Some information on how to release a script with a useful feature for general use.
Thanks.  --KNHaw (talk) 22:09, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Help! 

message: None of the features of Twinkle work on my computer. I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.2, having downloaded it just a few days ago because I was tired of IE7 breaking all my Wikipedia JavaScript. All my other scripts finally work, but Twinkle still does nothing. Here's the error messages I get when I try to use it:
When I click [restore this version]:
:Querying revision...........Grabbing edit form.................Updating the textbox...couldn't grab element "editform", aborting, this could indicate failed respons from the server
When I click any rollback button from twinkle (normal, agf, or vandal):
:Querying revisions.....Evaluating revisions to see if rollback is the last contributor...Finding last good revision...We where to revert zero revisions. As that makes no sense, we'll stop reverting this time. It could be that the edit already have been reverted, but the revision id was still the same.
CSD and AIV give similar messages, and the warning buttons never appear.
Any idea why this script doesn't work? Take a look at my monobook.js if it will help at all. Thanks, Pyrospirit Flames Fire 21:20, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

message: OK, so I added this into my monobook (which is also a jumble of scripts from User:VoA) and I refreshed my browser etc. But when I went to try out the features, I found that there was no difference whatsoever made.
I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.2 and I don't have ZoneAlarm on the computer. So what's up? I'd be a lot happier if someone could actually add the scripts to my Monobook as I am sure I'd do something wrong. Thanks! - Erebus555 19:24, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ooh, if only I was an admin, I'd simply copy my installation to your monobook.js file, but I'm not. Try asking an administrator to do it, like Eagle_101, Lupin, or Where; you can find a full list at Wikipedia:List of administrators. I'd be happy to do it, but only admins can edit other users' JS files. — Tuvok[T@lk/Improve me] 23:25, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
