Belated welcome template?
I use this a lot, but it's not offered in Twinkle's list: {{Welcome-belated}}. Otherwise, I love using the Welcome feature in Twinkle! Cheers, Aristophanes68 (talk) 04:25, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Clearer edit summary for "welcome problem user" templates
Currently the edit summary for all the welcome templates is the same: "Added welcome template to user talk page using TW". Anyone glancing at the talk page history, perhaps using the navigation popup, won't see the implication of vandalism/spam/whatever and will get the impression that the user hasn't been warned. Could the "problem user" templates include the template name in the edit summary, perhaps? -- John of Reading (talk) 07:46, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
- The template names are omitted intentionally from the edit summary. Here's an example of why: if you were an anon IP who happened to be looking through your talk page history, and you saw "Added {{welcome-anon-vandal}} template...", you would likely feel offended and puzzled. Even the user doing the vandalizing might find it offensive. Anyway, the whole point of this is to reduce bite by hiding the template names.
- If you really want your welcomes to break from this, there is a preference you can set (see Wikipedia:Twinkle/doc#maskTemplateInSummary). But I advise against it. — This, that, and the other (talk) 07:38, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
- OK, not the template names then. But {{welcome-anon-vandal}} is roughly equivalent to {{welcome}} plus {{uw-vandal1}}; and Twinkle already knows to use the words "nonconstructive editing" for the latter. So perhaps "Added welcome template (nonconstructive editing) ...". -- John of Reading (talk) 07:51, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
New welcoming template
I noticed there is no "potential problem user" welcoming template for someone who has created an unreferenced BLP. I have created one for Twinkle, {{Welcome unref blp}}. If it's deemed adequate, should it be added to Twinkle's menu of welcoming templates? — Preceding signed comment added by Cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 01:37, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
- The main thing I'd change is move the User:Cymru.lass/Advice/External links and references page to Help space. Amalthea 12:40, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
- Okie doke. I've never done much editing in the Help namespace, so I'm not entirely sure what the guidelines for inclusion are... Should I just move this to something like Help:External links and references? — Preceding signed comment added by Cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 00:22, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
- Sounds good; I'm not aware of guidelines describing what goes into Help space. Technical wikicode information should always be OK I'd say. Amalthea 10:23, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Support reason parameter for cleanup template
When using Twinkle to tag pages using the Template:Cleanup, Twinkle currently does not support the reason parameter, use of which is now strongly encouraged as result of the consensus of a discussion last January. Twinkle should be modified to support that parameter. --Nat682 (talk) 06:05, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
Pending. — This, that, and the other (talk) 07:33, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
Protection templates
Has the possibility of adding the protection templates ({{pp-semi}}
, etc.) to the tag dialog been considered? -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 01:35, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
- They are added when admins use the PP tab to protect pages. But thanks for the feedback; that module needs a serious overhaul (it allows you to insert a few templates that were deleted in 2009, for example), and I might add protection template tagging into it. — This, that, and the other (talk) 06:55, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
Adding suggested merger tags?
Could the set of {{merge}} tags be added to Twinkle's list of tags? It would involve creating a dialogue box or two (to get the name of the article to merge to/from) and would also involve an edit to the article named in the dialogue box adding the corresponding merge tag. (I suppose also a functionality to cover merging multiple articles) I can see three situations that the new feature would have to cover:
- Using Twinkle, an editor adds
{{merge|B}}
to article A suggesting that A be merged with (not to) B. Twinkle then adds{{merge|A}}
to article B - Using Twinkle, an editor adds
{{merge to|B}}
to article A suggesting that A be merged into B. Twinkle then adds{{merge from|B}}
to article B
- (Rare, but I suppose it could happen) Using Twinkle, an editor adds
{{merge from|B}}
to article A, indicating that article B should be merged into article A. Twinkle then adds{{merge to|A}}
to article B
This has the potential to be superuseful. Thanks! — Preceding signed comment added by Cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 17:47, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
- Simple enough to add the tags: but I can't promise you that I'll get the tagging of the other page happening. — This, that, and the other (talk) 02:27, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks! That sounds good :) By the way, thanks for all the work you do on Twinkle. It's an awesome tool! — Preceding signed comment added by Cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 21:13, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
Multiple AfDs
It would be nice to list multiple similar articles for AfD at the same time. CTJF83 12:39, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
- It would be nice, wouldn't it? — This, that, and the other (talk) 11:47, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

CSD
Can {{db-animal}}
be added to the list of criterion on the CSD menu? Baseball Watcher 23:30, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
- I thought about it. Seriously, though, how often do you need it? Besides, non-notable animal articles are usually obviously non-notable enough to be tagged with the general A7 tag, and the deleting admin will get it. — This, that, and the other (talk) 00:45, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
duplicate
Twinkle probably needs new options in automatic warning notices. For example "Addition of duplicate material" would be helpful. Pass a Method talk 10:13, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
New template
Template:Uw-agf-sock is a new single level notification/warning for new users who are likely to have violated WP:SOCK out of ignorance, not malice. Could it be added to Twinkle's template list? Zakhalesh (talk) 17:06, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
Preview Template
Would it be possible to preview the template that will be added to the page before clicking submit? Often I'm not sure exactly which template is correct, but if I could see what it says before sumitting, it would avoid having to either pull up the template in another tab or revert the edit if turns out to be wrong. MrKIA11 (talk) 04:17, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
- What a good idea. I have written the code, and this is
Pending the roll-out of the updated Twinkle version, which hopefully shouldn't be too far away... — This, that, and the other (talk) 12:16, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
- That was fast. Thanks, MrKIA11 (talk) 16:12, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
Minor change to menu wording
In the "Warn/Notify User" window, "Single issue warnings" category, the template that inserts Template:Uw-attack reads "[attack]: Personal attacks". First off, today was the first time I noticed this option, and if it is new I thank the developers for adding it. However, I would like to request a minor change to its wording, so that it reads "[uw-attack]: Creating attack pages". The addition of the "uw-" is to make it more consistent with the other choices in that menu, while changing the description to "Creating attack pages" brings it more in line with the actual text of the warning that it adds. Plus, to me, the term "personal attacks" is more generic in nature and is covered under the {{uw-npa#}} series of warnings. —KuyaBriBriTalk 18:30, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
- Quite right; this template is mislabelled.
Pending the roll-out of the updated version of Twinkle. — This, that, and the other (talk) 08:33, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
language tag for {{tt:notenglish}}
Can you add support for tagging the article's language to the application of the {{tt:notenglish}}? Thanks! :) - UtherSRG (talk) 16:09, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
