Use group-wide?
I know this is meant to be used personally and not site-wide, but can this be used group-wide, ie Mediawiki:Group-sysop.js? If not, no big deal; no harm in asking. DEmersonJMFM 16:53, August 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * The vast majority of scripts that are designated for personal use are done so because they violate Terms of Use, not because they work best as a personal script. I'd email Wikia at Special:Contact/general to confirm if this was permitted before enabling it.

Rollback
Hi, I am using this script and it's very helpful but there is something that's bothering me. This script only works with administrators. Is it possible to use the rollback all edits button when a user is a rollbacker on a certain wiki and not an admin? I know for a fact that it would save me much time when I revert vandals, bu if it's not possible, it's ok. 09:25, September 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * Anyone? 09:13, September 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * The permissions don't actually prevent anyone from using it. T   RIPLE   JAY  12:58, September 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * From WHAM:
 * "Generally, this script will only work if you have admin (bureaucrat for unbot) access to the wiki it's being used on. However, "rollback all edits" can be used by users with rollback rights."

Image Rollback
Is there any way to enable rollback/undoing of image uploads? It doesn't seem to work in Monobook; every time I select the "Rollback all edits" option, all their image uploads have a greyed out "[gone!]" next to it, where [rollback] would normally be. This feature is greatly needed, as we have a vandal on the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki who uploads images en masse (these uploads don't qualify as vandalism, but we revert because we don't accept their edits any more). --
 * You'll need to delete them, not rollback them. They are separate pages. Ajraddatz (Talk) 17:05, May 28, 2014 (UTC)
 * AjaxBatchDelete will help with that by the way.

Some ideas to improve this useful script
Hello,

First of all, thank to all peoples who made this script. This script is very useful. I have some ideas to improve this script, say me your feedback about them :
 * Change the "delete all pages" by "delete all edits" because the script delete pages and comments.
 * Change the color of the button because the current color is red and the link looks like a redlink...

Tell me what you think about. Gguigui1 (talk) 11:29, June 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * Comments are pages, and admins should be aware of that. "delete all edits" would be misleading, but it doesn't do that. However, it might be useful to split it into "Delete all pages" and "Delete all comments", in case the comments should be left as evidence. But they can always be undeleted afterwards.
 * I don't think the red should confuse anyone, because anyone using this script should be aware of what it is. However, for consistency, it should probably be changed and moved to match the other links.
 * 452 (talk) 14:38, July 13, 2014 (UTC)


 * I will be aware of that and further information about this in the script page can replaced the split. And, for the button, it doesn't confuse me but, as you say, for design, it would be better to change this. Gguigui1 (talk) 09:28, July 14, 2014 (UTC)

UnBot button
So, I tried using the UnBot me button on a place where I knew it wouldn't work (a place where I have sysop, but not crat, and tried to do it to my own account which was not marked as a bot), and it deleted everything on the right side of my masthead globally (birthday, occupation, etc) Schiffy (T &#124; C ) 13:16, June 20, 2014 (UTC)

Little problem with page deletion
Hello,

This script is awesome, and I was very happy with it until today ! I deleted all pages of a vandal user that had created a thread on his own messages wall called "Emma Watson" (it's on French Harry Potter Wiki). The thing is that the script didn't delete the said thread but the real article named "Emme Watson". So I'd like to know if someone noticed it yet, or if this has something to do with the fact that it's on a French Wiki. Thank you in advance for your answers ! Hulothe.

Rollback all edits
When we press the Rollback all edits button, I notice three possible edit summaries are generated (the first one of which is essentially the standard system-generated one): I do not know the algorithm it uses to determine which one to choose. However, I notice that it often gets it wrong, especially when it applies the spam one. It is somewhat embarrassing to have it label as “spam” a rolled back edit that should have been labelled “vandalism”, and to assign that edit summary to the name of whoever was rolling it back.
 * Reverted edits by $2 (talk | block) to last version by $1
 * Reverted vandalism
 * Reverted spam

I would like to suggest, therefore, that it not choose between three different edit summaries. Instead, I would like to recommend that we simplify it, and it just use the standard system-generated one, in all cases:

"block) to last version by $1.''"

Thanks! :) — Spike  Toronto  18:06, July 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * Just checking the source, the Rollback All button clicks all links with . You might be having some personal js that's causing it?--~Ultimate Supreme  06:48, July 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * @UltiSup: That’s a bit complex for me. I would not have knowingly changed . To do so would be quite beyond my skillset. However, if someone knowledgeable in JS wanted to have a look through the site JS and my personal JS at Scratchpad, and my global JS at Central Command, I wouldn’t object. ;) Thanks! —  Spike  Toronto  07:33, November 17, 2014 (UTC)

Board Thread functionality
The "delete all pages" button doesn't work with forum threads. We've been dealing with a lot of forum spammers lately and it would be extremely useful to have this working on forum posts. Please look into adding this functionality. Kelerik (talk) 15:35, August 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * I have made a new revised version of WHAM which includes that functionality - you can replace the old script with the new one, which may be found here. – Ozuzanna 21:43, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

New WHAM Styling
The buttons for the new version don't align as nicely as those for the first one. I know it's not really a function issue but it's worth mentioning. DEmersonJMFM 23:33, October 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * If you know how to fix that, feel free. The old version is still around for those who prefer that one. Maybe I'll get around to it at some point when I have the time. – Ozuzanna 09:48, October 4, 2014 (UTC)
 * Should be fixed. --  sqm talk 10:02, 10.04.2014

version 2 bug
I recently updated to version 2, and i noticed that you can always access the WHAM menu,even if you are not an admin or rollback. -- Rider ranger47  02:43, October 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * It's not really an issue since if the user has no rights then they're unable to do anything with WHAM. However, I've added a check in to see if they're rollback or admin, so thanks for the feedback. – Ozuzanna 09:30, October 5, 2014 (UTC)

Thread/board deletion
I tried the deletion out on a spammer and it worked, so thanks for that. What I didn't know is that it deletes the message wall comment like any other page and gives a deletion log entry. I didn't know threads could do that. Is there a way delete like this on a per message/per thread basis instead of doing it all en mass for 1 user? 3cooldog92 (talk) 02:18, December 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes it's possible to do through API, as this script does. – Ozuzanna 17:34, December 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Is there a help page or how to guide on this? I'm not really familiar with this stuff. 3cooldog92 (talk) 20:50, December 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * The only page I can think of is mw:API:Delete. – Ozuzanna 21:26, December 15, 2014 (UTC)

Delete selected functionnality issue
Hello, the new functionnality seem to not work, I checked the checkbox, I clicked the bouton, we asked me a reason and the script wait about 2s and then refresh the page without deleting the comments. Gguigui1 (discussion) 09:50, January 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * Could you show me where this happened? – Ozuzanna 11:35, January 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * In Clash of Clans French Wikia. I looked at console but no error or anything else. Only a refresh some seconds after the Delete selected click. Gguigui1 (discussion) 11:40, January 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the feedback - checkboxes should now appear next to comments too. – Ozuzanna 12:48, January 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * I have the checkbox near comments before but deleting comments doesn't work. Gguigui1 (discussion) 15:06, January 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * I can't seem to find a problem with it, I've added revision delete support - does it only happen for you on French wikis? – Ozuzanna 17:41, January 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * I've just tested on English wikias and it doesn't seem to work as well. Gguigui1 (discussion) 18:13, January 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * Can you give me a screenshot of what it looks like for you on a contributions page? I think it may be because of extra tools that helpers have there. – Ozuzanna 18:28, January 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh yes ! It is Quick Management that might be cause the issue. Gguigui1 (discussion) 18:47, January 10, 2015 (UTC)
