Supporting non-article namespaces
[edit]I noticed the tool is limited to the main (article) namespace, but I often want to use it in the Wikipedia namespace in order to see when was a certain part of a guideline text added. People usually monitor changes in policies rather strictly, but I've noticed guidelines get rewritten without that much oversight. It'd be very useful to actually know whether a guideline is long-standing, or just the result of a random bad rewrite from last year.
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T333038 is a request to enable WWT for all namespaces, but nobody's reacted much to that.
Are there significant technical obstacles to analyzing page history in other namespaces? --Joy (talk) 13:09, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
- Seconding this! It would be particularly helpful for analysing the history of policy pages across all projects (which are usually under "Wikipedia:" pages). Curious to hear the team on what are the possible drawbacks and technical barriers to implement this. Parzeus 14:48, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
Down?
[edit]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)

- 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)

WWT not working (April–May 2025)
[edit]WWT not working on de.wp with Skin Monobook and Vector 2010
[edit]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
[edit]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)
