Down?

Giving me errors the ~5 times I try it today. RememberOrwell (talk) 09:02, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

Same here. Firefox Firefox 133.0/Macbook Pro+macOS 13.7.1. --Omotecho (talk) 15:20, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

Can confirm. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:130.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/130.0. Kline (talk) 19:47, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

Just tried to install it, and it isn't working. However, XTools' "blame" is also down, so I suspect this is a problem with Wikiwho rather than this extension specifically. 🌺 Cremastra (talk) 20:26, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

Indeed, https://wikiwho.wmcloud.org/ gives 502 Bad Gateway. Who’s responsible for WikiWho? —Tacsipacsi (talk) 00:23, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

WWT not working (April–May 2025)

Tracked in Phabricator:
Task T394517

WWT not working on de.wp with Skin Monobook and Vector 2010

After switching to the new Vector 2022 skin on the german wikipedia few weeks ago, the WWT add-on no longer works in the following skins on german wikipedia (de.wp):

• Monobook
• Vector 2010

In the new skin Vector 2022 it works on de.wp.

Interestingly, WWT is still functional on the English Wikipedia (en.wp) in the Monobook skin.

Steps to reproduce:

Firefox with the current WWT add-on, change the skin to Monobook (or Vector 2010) under Settings, select a random article page on de.wikipedia.org and try to activate WWT.

PS: I don't have access to Phabricator (looks like because of IP range blocks) to report this error on Phabricator too.--Wdwd (talk) 14:33, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

Does not work for me in de.wp with Vector 2022. Any hints what's going on? ---<(kmk)>- (talk) 01:13, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

Sorry about that! This is fixed in version 0.22.3, which is already live on the Firefox web store, and should go live on Chromium-based web stores soon. MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 22:51, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

Problems on en.wiki

I uninstalled it from Chrome to test what was causing problems. When I reinstalled it it no longer works. Another user is also having problems. See [1] Doug Weller (talk) 19:09, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

Yes, the addon is also broken for me on Firefox. As I said in the linked thread, I didn't uninstall it, it just noticed couple days ago that it's no longer loading. AstonishingTunesAdmirer (talk) 19:18, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

Not working for me on Firefox.

Hello,
The extension isn't working for me. It loads and then says "Error: Refresh or try again later". Zanahary (talk) 16:52, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

It works for me on hu:Augusztus 20-i nemzeti ünnep. In which article (and on what wiki) do you try it? Do you get any console errors? Do you use any privacy extensions like ad blockers or script blockers? (You could try disabling all extensions other than Who Wrote That one by one to see if another extension interferes with it.) —Tacsipacsi (talk) 13:41, 24 August 2025 (UTC)

Another outage (November 2025)

Not working for me on Firefox or Chrome right now, even after disabling other add-ons. Preimage (talk) 15:32, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

Same issue for me – Chrome Version 141.0.7390.108 (Official Build) (arm64). I've spoken with a few other editors, who report that the tool has not been working since yesterday late afternoon (East coast U.S.).

As a note, the error message states "Error: Refresh or try again later. If the issue persists, contact us." Flipitover (talk) 17:15, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
