Would someone add {{tl|tense}} to the "Tag" menu of Twinkle?

Add support for db-multiple
I noticed that on a number of new articles that I look at on NPP, speedy deletion criteria A7 (Unremarkable company or organization) and G11 (Blatant promotion) go together a lot. Is there a way to get Twinkle to support the Template:db-multiple tag? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bk314159 (talk • contribs) 02:42, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
- Strong support. I tend to go manual when db-multiple is required, and putting it into Twinkle would make it easier. — Train2104 (talk • contribs • count) 19:40, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
- Please, please, please add this on if possible. There are many instances where I could use that, and manual tagging is far more tedious. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 00:37, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
- Big-time support! I could really use this, too. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 03:45, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
- Strong support! it takes ages to fish around and do this manually.--Kudpung (talk) 10:29, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
- Absolutely Yes! Anyone who has spent time in Special:NewPages knows how helpful this would be --Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 02:12, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- Support. Well - if I didn't, this section would be archived (after 28 days, it says above). Trafford09 (talk) 10:09, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
- Support a lot. It seems this could be very useful since lots of people use it. Speeds things up a bit I would think. Alex³ (talk) 15:38, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
- Support, since Twinkle currently does not allow for the addition of more than one speedy deletion criteria. Guoguo12--Talk-- 00:23, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
- Support - per above. Eagles 24/7 (C) 01:23, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
- ASAP, please and thank you. Marcus Qwertyus 01:32, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
- Strong Support Would make things way easier. →GƒoleyFour (GSV) 02:35, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
- Strong Support per above: would make things far easier, and it would not be too hard of an addition to add so far as I can tell. dmz 23:38, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, need this!— Timneu22 · talk 15:56, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
- Support Would be very useful. Acather96 (talk) 18:23, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
- Support Very good idea. Armbrust Talk Contribs 19:53, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
Minor nit to wording of CSD menu
I have a minor nit I'd like to see done to the CSD menu. I'd like to see "Unremarkable band" reworded to "Unremarkable musician(s) or band", and "Unremarkable website" reworded to "Unremarkable website or web content". Both of these proposed wordings better sum up what the CSD templates state without getting too wordy. —KuyaBriBriTalk 22:20, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
- Support Sounds good to me (but - and I hesitate to ask this - what's a nit in this context?). Trafford09 (talk) 23:09, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
- Support. Seems reasonable. Rehman 03:58, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
Support for more di templates
Currently we don't have those supported on Twinkle. They're listed at Template:File deletion template notice. The ones I'd be interested in are:
- Dw-nld
- Dw-nsd
- Dw-nsdnld
- Orfurrev
- Furd
And lastly one I don't care about but you might want to add anyway:
- Nchd
I could surely just add it myself, but I don't want to touch your code without your permission. Magog the Ogre (talk) 16:49, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
Bump. Magog the Ogre (talk) 02:31, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Uw-mos
Uw-mos1,2,3,4 now just a single issue notice. Marcus Qwertyus 06:02, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
- Scratch that. 1, 2, and 3 were restored. Just remove 4. Marcus Qwertyus 00:56, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
Template:Uw-generic4
This template states (on the template page), that it is included in the standard installation of Twinkle, but I can't find it anywhere in the menus? I can't read scripts so looking at the scripts pages revealed nothing to me. Is this warning used in TW? If so where can I find it? And if not, can it be inserted for relevant warnings per the table at Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace? Pol430 talk to me 10:54, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
- Comment - I did a bit of test editing in my user talk sandbox and found that this template exists for some L4 warnings (assuming as a redirect). For example, if you issue an L4 warning for edit tests using TW you get Uw-generic4. It appears to be missing from some areas though, for example there is no option in TW to issue an L4 warning for adding unsourced content... It stops at level 3. Whilst I could issue a L4 manually the whole purpose of using TW is to make is quicker. If I were to issue an L4 warning for adding unsourced content by just selecting L4 edit tests in TW knowing the template would ultimately be correct, the edit summary would be wrong. Pol430 talk to me 11:23, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
- I concur. Can Template:Uw-generic4 be added please for issuing L4 on unsourced content? I keep having the dilemma of doing it manually which defeats the purpose of TW, or having an incorrect edit summary. Thanks. --Muhandes (talk) 10:10, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
Template:Edit Summary
I think it would be useful if Template:Uw-editsummary was added to the standard version of Twinkle. --Confession0791 talk 05:01, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
- It's already there, under 'single issue notices' Pol430 talk to me 09:30, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
- To Confession0791 and others, consider also:
- Wikipedia relies on wp:consensus, and our all adhering to its guidelines.
- One such is wp:ES#Always provide an edit summary. Please adhere to it, or state why the consensus doesn't apply in your case.
- and if that template fails, you may find the following helpful:
Edit summaries
Tip of the day...
![]() Please summarize your work using the Edit summary box
If you make anything other than a minor edit to an article, it helps others if you fill in the edit summary. Edit summaries are visible in the page history, watchlists, and on Recent changes, so they help other users keep track of what is happening to a page. If you use section editing, the summary box is filled in with the section heading by default (in gray text), which you can follow with more detail. You also can put links to articles in the edit summary. Just put double brackets around [[the article title]] like you would normally. The summary is limited to 255 characters, so many people use common abbreviations, such as sp for correcting spelling mistakes, rm for remove, ce for copy-edit, etc. – – Read more:

Replace the "don't warn" function for users nominating their own work for deletion/tagging
Hi. I've just been speaking to AzaToth over IRC, who informed me that a feature which used to be present in Twinkle has been removed, and not by him. I edited some of my work earlier today, nominating an image I'd uploaded, and to which only I had contributed, for deletion. I subsequently discovered that I'd received a warning on my talk page about the CSD request. What is the point of telling me something I already know??? I know I've nominated the page for deletion, I don't need warning that I've done it, since I have a memory longer than a goldfish :)
Is there any chance that this feature could be replaced please? If ever I go through and clean out all my old images and work, I'm gonna be flooded with warnings, and I don't fancy wasting time cleaning out my work, and then having to remove a load of warnings about stuff I don't need to know from my talk page too!!! Thank you! BarkingFish 02:42, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
- I've had a similar experience. After userfying an autobiographical page, I tried tagged the redirect that was left behind (WP:CSD#R2) and received a warning on my talk page that a page I had created was nominated for speedy deletion. -- Bk314159 (Talk to me and find out what I've done) 16:27, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
- I don't think there ever was a check in the CSD tool, actually (some scripts have or had such sanity checks, the ARV tool for example).
Wouldn't be hard to add a prompt asking the user whether he really wants to notify himself (which some people sometimes want to do). And I note that there's always been the [ ] Notify checkbox that you can can use to prevent the notification.

Moving files to Commons
Not sure how possible this is, or how much support this is going to get but... Currently, when I need to move a file to Commons
- I tag it with {{MTC}}
- Click "Show Preview"
- Middle-click (open in new tab) "Copy to Commons via CommonsHelper"
- Complete the form
- Then replace the {{MTC}} (in the unsaved preview page) with {{Db-f8}}
- Click "Save Page"
Would it be possible to simply click a "MTC" via Twinkle, which directly goes to a pre-filled CommonsHelper (or CommonsHelper2 once that's up again)? And maybe even tag it with {{NowCommons}} or {{Db-f8}} once the transfer is complete? That would make things much faster and simpler wouldn't it? Rehman 04:12, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
- Take a look at User:Legoktm/com2.js. Logan Talk Contributions 21:51, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
- I mean, couldn't it be made as a part of Twinkle? Rehman 04:51, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
Add {{Shared IP gov}}
Self-explanatory. Logan Talk Contributions 21:51, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
Don't re-create a page that has been deleted under you
In the fast and furious world of NPP Twinkle is a godsend, however I've experienced a peculiar oddity. I'm in the middle of tagging a page and the page is deleted from underneath me before I submit. I would like to request that if you are tagging or nominating for CSD, that Twinkle checks to see if the page has been deleted before attempting to apply the items. Hasteur (talk) 18:37, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
Add new templates
I have created a series of 3 UW templates aimed at disruptive editing that is not vandalism, there appeared to be rough consensus for this at the project talk page. Could you integrate them into twinkle please. I have added the documentation template on to the first template (considering they are not yet included) you can find the first template at Template:Uw-disruptive1 with links to 2 and 3. Pol430 talk to me 20:23, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
Opt out
Would it be possible to add an opt-out so that people don't need to receive notifications via Twinkle? I've recently had 3 notices about deletion of articles I did not create. In each case I had made a minor edit many years ago. Angela. 02:42, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
- Only the last one of those notifications was made via Twinkle, the first two were placed on your talk page manually. You technically did create the first revision of that last article: a redirect as part of a page move, and it is very hard to automatically decide whether you want to be notified in such a case or not.
Anyway, it's of course technically possible to add an opt-out mechanism, and something like that is already on my long-term to-do list. Can't give you a time frame though, I'm afraid.
Cheers, Amalthea 12:34, 16 January 2011 (UTC)- Template:Nobots gives a very simple Javascript regular expression to accomplish it. And I might point out that this is a real pain in the rear on User:Antidote, where admin notices are plugging up the page despite it being protected, so we regularly have to revert. Magog the Ogre (talk) 15:02, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for the info. I'd assumed all the recent messages were Twinkle-related as they all suddenly appeared at a similar time. I'll give {{nobots}} a try. Angela. 12:43, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
{{tense}}
Would someone add {{tense}} to the "Tag" menu of Twinkle? Thanks! --- c y m r u . l a s s (talk me, stalk me) 16:14, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
