Wikipedia:MWT


 * The current version of MWT is 0.9.4 (40.4kb zip file)

Mike's Wiki Tool is an anti-vandalism tool for Windows and Linux users.

Current features

 * Bugless fetching of Recent changes from api.php.
 * Easy 2 button operation, even easier if you have a middle button.
 * Warnings, rollback and reading of block logs.
 * Tabbed interface (Use Ctrl+Click to open a link in a new tab)
 * Uses the new set of warning templates from WP:TT, and warnings can be customised through an XML file.
 * Customisable edit summaries.

Upcoming features

 * (feel free to add any feature requests here)


 * Needs an ignore list, so people can ignore Sandbox or Talk pages and bot edits if they see the need.
 * A feature to watchlist pages? maybe also a feature to read your watchlist also. Seems odd to have an anti-vandal tool without watchlist functions.
 * Could do with a 'vandalism log' feature, showing reverts in a wikitable.
 * A button to report IPs to AIV, along with a reason and page name
 * bv and 4im level warnings.
 * Would be good to have a choice of edit summaries; one for vandalism and one for good faith edits which are incorrect

Current bugs

 * (Add a bug to this list if you find one)


 * Multiple tabs cause MWT to hog RAM.
 * Runtime error 91, exits itself upon attempt to open warning page
 * Exits if IE running simultaneously, is this Wiki-overload? :P
 * I have been running it for a while now, and always use it with IE, without a problem. Is the problem at your computer? TheOne00 11:08, 29 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Script errors for some users, you will have to disable javascript in Internet Explorer if you are affected by this. (sometimes clearing your monobook.js will fix this however)
 * If you are getting diffs of the Main Page when MWT starts up, please upgrade to the latest version, in which this problem has been fixed. (Caused by recent changes to the MediaWiki API)

User list
This is the user list for MWT. Users' names are added to the list when they start MWT to keep track of the user base.

For users

 * IRC channel
 * #mwt on freenode is generally populated with developers or experienced users, and is by far the easiest way to get real-time help.


 * Mailing list
 * The MWT discussion mailing list contains discussion about development of MWT. The (lesser used) MWT updates mailing list exists for announcements of new stable releases.
