Summary: with Twinkle or Huggle, talk page warnings can get
overwritten
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows XP
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Normal
Component: Page editing
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
(I tried finding dupes, but nothing with Twinkle/Huggle showed up in searches,
and this never happens when editing manually)
Using Twinkle (for myself) and on at least one occasion while another user was
using Huggle, warnings/messages placed on talk pages have been overwritten by
subsequent warnings up to four minutes later. Don't know if it's connected,
but I recently moved from Firefox/IE to Chrome, and never noticed this
happening before that switch. I've had to start adding any subsequent warnings
manually.
At the Twinkle bugs page, I was told that:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Twinkle/Bugs#TW-B-0243
"Twinkle uses a regex to detect recently left warnings on user talk pages from
the contents of the edit box that it receives from the WP servers. If the WP
servers are returning incomplete or incorrect contents to users (which I have
noticed on a couple of pages recently when editing manually), then there is
nothing I can do; it's a server problem. Since Huggle is experiencing the same
thing and I have seen out-of-date edit boxes when editing manually, my best
guess at this point is that it is some kind of server caching problem"
