Wikipedia talk:Mike's Wiki Tool

message: Hi there, this sounds like a very nice program. However, it's insertion of headers is disruptive to readability and interpretation of the warnings on a user's talk page. The layout at WP:UW creates a neat and easy to read format that makes it simple to determine how many and how often a user's getting warnings. If you can build that layout into your tool, I think it would be a great thing. Thanks for your time and have a great day! —Elipongo (Talk|contribs) 17:25, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Should this be deleted? Seems to violate WP:NPA. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Scalene (talk • contribs) 08:19, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

message: When I try to start it, it checks to see if I'm on the user list like it normally would, but then it just closes itself! It worked flawlessly for a week, and I haven't changed anything. Anybody know what might be wrong? --Captain Yankee (Talk) 17:25, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

message: This seems to be a problem with my computer. Whenever I run MWT, I get a VB Run-time error '5' error. This comes as soon as I double click on the exe. Does anyone know how can I get MWT running?

message: Is there anyway to report a user to the AIV using your program? Thanks in advance! --On the other side Contribs|@ 23:55, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Not at the moment. It's something that I've been meaning to add for a while. The target of MWT has really shifted from en.wiki to MediaWiki installations in general, and seeing as each wiki has its own process for AIV (or none at all), it sort of complicates things. It's a high priority though— everyone keeps asking about it. Cheers. :) --Michael Billington (talk) 11:43, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

message: If you modify the 'warnings-enwiki' file in the data folder of MWT saved locally, you can add more templates. For example, the first bit of my 'warnings' file now reads:
<UserWarnings>
<warnings id="Vandalism">
  <warning title="Welcome-anon-vandal" text="Welcome to Wikipedia."/>
  <warning title="uw-vandalism1" text="Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Some of your recent... 
This way, I get the 'welcome anon vandal' template as an option; useful when you meet 1st time users who are just fooling around. Thanks for the cool tool, Theone00 (talk) 23:47, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I ran across this page because some vandalism was cleaned up on the article I was following, clicked the link, but have NO idea how this tool does what it does. Could somebody provide a simple explanation. Your in Wikidom, GeorgeLouis (talk) 17:34, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  How does it work? 

message: I love using this program. However, there are some things I would like to see.
#Standardized organization of User Notifications/Warnings per Wikipedia:WikiProject user warnings. For example:
  
==Warnings==

===March 2007===
# warning
# warning
* block
# warning
===April 2007===
# warning
#: comment about warning
#:: comment
# warning
* block
I would like to choose from all of the available template messages, and it wouldn't hurt to have the option to add comments and preview your post. I feel that the display of previous warnings could more easily show the date/nature/severity of existing warnings or previous blocks. I like to use Template:uw-joke1, for example, every once in a while and would like to be able to do so from within the program. I would like for the warnings to be obviously discrete, possibly with some sort of safeguard to prevent more than one user from warning a user about the same particular edit. 
#
2.Oh, and of course the ability to add IPs to AIV, along with notes and rationale.
I can't remember the rest. Well, thanks again!

message: The latest edit to User:MichaelBillington/MWT/Users can't be right, surely? Perhaps the semi-protection is messing it up. I have undone it, since it is erroneously transcluding , which is categorising the page under :Category:Non-talk pages requesting an edit to a semi-protected page.
