Bug - deleting names that you haven't seen

Hi. There is a problem with the script. It removes additional names if the bot has added them since you loaded the page. [1] the bottom two were added by the bot after I'd loaded the page and it deleted them as well. If I hadn't looked at the history they would have been lost.

Thanks, Secretlondon, and sorry that that happened. I guess it's not very good at handling that kind of edit conflict. This started out as a little pet project but debugging this may be beyond my technical abilities. Perhaps I should just deactivate the script for now? DanCherek (talk) 16:22, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

It is used a lot so maybe the community can help. Secretlondon (talk) 16:36, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

I have no idea how it works but maybe it is comparing the page it loaded to the one with the removed reports. Perhaps forcing a reload before it removes them would help. Secretlondon (talk) 16:40, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Issue with script

It seems there is an issue with this script. In this edit, it blanked the page instead of removing the selected reports. Pinging @DanCherek – DreamRimmer (talk) 11:26, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure what happened there... DanCherek (talk) 04:16, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
