Warnings: Whenever a user tries to add a warning to a vandal that is currently blocked, add a box that pops up and notifies the user that the vandal is blocked and asks the user to continue or stop with the warning template. Won't fix there is no machine-readable way to check if a user is blocked (as I know of at least).
Fluff: Convert RevertCallback3 from submit to POST diff Confirmed
Automatically warn users with appropriate templates when you tag an article for speedy deletion. Confirmed
Include welcome messages in the "warnings" collection. I'm particularly fond of {{subst:Welcome-anon-vandal|[[page name]]}}. Talmage Won't fix not a uw-template →AzaToth23:04, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
Make it work with Opera
Make it work with Safari (for Windows)
Add new config item offerReasonOnCSDTag to allow a custom edit summary to be entered. (AA) Confirmed
Add welcome/anon templates to warn box for convenience. Perhaps in a new "Single issue notices". Isaac17:37, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Obey redirected talk pages. EG when you use rollback and it opens a talk page that is a redirect, follow the redirect. Use template messages that specify which user it is referring to.
An option to not edit protected pages would be very useful for admin users. I have accidentally added CSD warning tags to images on the main page when that is not something I would normally do.
It would be nice to enter an edit summary when salting a page, the reasons to do so are varied.
Auto-select appropriate templates when going to warn user, such as the create series for CSD tagging, and vandalism for reverting, etc.
Add a template under "Single issue warnings" or "Single issue messages", whatever it is, that your article has been speedy deleted.
This may or may not be a complicated thing to program, but add a button or modify the vandalism rollback to revert all changes made by the previous user when SineBot is the last contributer, and do everything as if the user before SineBot vandalized. That is, make it easier to revert and warn/report talk-page trolling/vandalism after a bot has signed it. Gscshoyru20:33, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
It's a really easy thing to do, as that functionallity is already in the code, though only HBCNamewatcherbot or what it called, is in that list atm. →AzaToth21:07, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
Add a feature to help with "sighted" revisions, including fast "sighting" functions and a tab to view the diff between the current revision and last "sighted" revision in one click. Since the extension code is open-source, you could probably even finish the feature before the extension's implemented here. Pyrospirit (talk·contribs) 15:41, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
Make pages automatically reload upon adding a Speedy deletion tag to them so that when reloaded the page shows the tag which has been placed. Wikidudeman(talk)13:34, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
Automatically warn users who created articles which are up for speedy deletion by amending {{subst:nn-warn|articlename|header=1}} ~~~~ to the creators talk page along with a relevant summary. Wikidudeman(talk)13:34, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
Add a "Tag" tab to article pages (similar to the "Warn" tab on user talk pages) to allow the addition of common cleanup templates such as {{wikify}}, {{uncat}}, {{norefs}}, etc. Waggers11:08, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Make it possible to suppress "using TW" when reverting but not when starting XFD discussions
If an article is deleted while you are typing a PROD reason in the prompt, upon submitting it will recreate the article with only the PROD tag. Acknowledged
watchRevertedPages does not appear to work. I turned it off (by putting only "[ ]" but still the pages were added to my watch list. (AA) Acknowledged
I don't think any of the 4 watch* settings work. I turned all 4 off, and all the pages are still getting added to my watch list. KTC10:58, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
Do you have your wikipedia prefs set to watch articles you edit? I suspect that if your TW prefs ask you to add watching, and your wiki prefs are not to, then it will watch, but that if your wiki prefs are to default to watching and the TW prefs are not to, I bet it doesn't try to not watch it.— TimotabTimothy (not Tim dagnabbit!)20:54, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
AfD doesn't add the template to the article page. Feedback required
The Request Page protection feature does not work properly. Feedback required
Couple of misspellings in the ARV module: "You don't want to report yourself , do you?" has an extra space; "compromized" is misspelled. Acknowledged
Please change the [[WP:TWINKLE|TW]] in the edit summary to simply [[WP:TW|TW]]; this is shorter, and leaves more space for the actual edit summary (see, for instance, [1]). Melsaran (formerly Salaskаn) 01:42, 4 August 2007 Acknowledged
When it notified someone that a redirect of his had been marked for RfD, it linked to a category instead of a redirect.[2] what the heck is going on? Melsaran (formerly Salaskаn) 02:38, 4 August 2007 (UTC) Confirmed
I moved a page because it did not fulfil the naming conventions, then marked the resulting redirect for deletion, and Twinkle thought it would be useful to notify myself.[4]Melsaran (formerly Salaskаn) 13:47, 4 August 2007 (UTC) Acknowledged (hehe)
I marked a redirect to a category for deletion, but it didn't put a colon before it.[5]Melsaran (formerly Salaskаn) 14:33, 4 August 2007 (UTC) Acknowledged
Twinkle unlinks broken redirects, making them worse. They should instead be manually checked for retargetting or nominated for speedy deletion. See [7] for an example. Kusma (talk) 09:09, 14 August 2007 (UTC) Acknowledged
{{orfud}} notices are broken. east.718at 10:47, August 14, 2007 Feedback required
When tagging an image for relatively speedy deletion, it tells you that it has tagged instance images with the caption, but it doesn't actually do it. New:
The "rpp" feature does not work. When you click "rpp", and then submit the form that comes, it says
Warned IP-based users (without accounts) are automatically added to your watchlist regardless of the false, boolean option in configuration if the Add pages I create to my watchlist option is ticked in the preferences Ryan(talk/contribs) 11:17, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
