I came to your page from the Antivandal userbox linked pages link.
I am a newcomer and am exploring ways to contribute towards antivandalism and maintenance tasks.

I saw you use Huggle, Twinkle, Antivandal, and Ultraviolet.

Does it not get chaotic using and managing these many tools? Kingsacrificer (talk) 12:48, 11 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Kingsacrificer – Welcome. Each tool has areas it excels or falls short in. Some are better suited than others for certain tasks. I enjoy tinkering with the different tools, configuring and learning each, etc. I would say to get started Twinkle is the best to familiarize yourself with. It also has several applications outside of vandalism recent changes patrolling.

Huggle is my personal favorite for actively patrolling recent changes. It is an old program, but it’s incredibly powerful, customizable, and has some really great features. I am a big fan of more detailed edit summaries when reverting (when applicable) and many of these are built right into the program.

AntiVandal is great when I am away from my desktop, at work, or otherwise am just wanting to patrol from a web browser. It’s super light-weight and, while similar to Huggle, lacks many of the features I’ve come to prefer. That being said, they just released an update and it’s looking fantastic so I am excited to try out all of the new features.

These are more advanced tools that will require rollback permissions and are only useful for looking at edits actively being made. Twinkle/Ultraviolet allow you to revert older edits and edits you stumble across while browsing. There will be times where you need to manually revert or warn a user, so you’ll want one of these available alongside a tool like Huggle/AV.

There is a lot of overlap between Twinkle/Ultraviolet and you definitely don’t need both. Since I prefer more detailed edit summaries, I will usually revert using Ultraviolet and select the appropriate summary but then warn the user using Twinkle. Twinkle has a better “search” when selecting warning templates and has templates not in UV. I also find UV to be a bit glitchier than Twinkle, especially when reporting to AIV.

Anyway, feel free to reach out with any questions and best of luck as you get started! 🙂 Nubzor [T][C] 15:19, 11 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for this detailed explanation. I will try to keep in touch! Kingsacrificer (talk) 15:26, 11 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I’m TonySt. I wrote a userscript called av-dark, which is currently in your common.js file. I’m writing to let you know that a new version of AntiVandal was recently released which includes a dark mode natively. Because av-dark does not work with the new version of AntiVandal, I recommend that you remove av-dark from your common.js file. You can easily do this by going to this page and clicking “Uninstall”. Take care 🙂 —tony 00:58, 13 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@TonySt Kudos to you again. It was a great and much-needed script while it lasted! Thanks for making it and making it available to others. Nubzor [T][C] 02:58, 13 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar

Thanks for cleaning up my talk page! I completely forgot that IP (it was an entire ANI, AN, and Charlie Kirk ago). But this was a nice distraction from my Wiki kerfuffles. I will say, though, I “appreciate” their doughnut. Thank you @Nubzor: for being vigilant and removing vandalism even from something not tied to an actual page.

Babyshark noticed that troll, since i am not an admin couldn’t do a damn thing about it Jp33442 (talk) 18:06, 14 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you @Babysharkboss2! Happy to help 🙂 Nubzor [T][C] 19:33, 14 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You are invited to the ANI discussion here! This IP has been calling you a “flat earther” and a “troll”. As they say, sanctions needed. CreatorTheWikipedian2009 (talk) 20:36, 14 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Again, appreciate you being on the lookout CreatorTheWikipedian2009. Thank you for the help. Took a bit longer than usual for admin to step in and block them but better late than never! Nubzor [T][C] 20:41, 14 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nubzor! I just wanted to leave you a message and let you know that I’ve implemented a fix to edit filter 614 so that it’ll no longer block edits being made to any Wikipedia:Wiki Ed pages. I did add a response to the false positive report, but I also wanted to let you know here in case you miss it. Thanks for the ping and for bringing this other report to my attention. 😉 Best – ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 06:49, 21 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oshwah you rock. But I hope you didn’t feel like I was making that your problem by pinging you! I just knew you were looking into a similar issue from a few days back and wanted to let you know more had popped up.

Also, unrelated, but your health story is WILD. I can’t even imagine… I’m glad you are doing well though and almost back to 100%! Nubzor [T][C] 14:19, 21 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nubzor – Oh no, not at all; I wanted to fix the filter since it’ll likely just cause more issues with Wiki Ed users. I’m glad as well. The first two weeks after surgery… extremely painful! All of that is behind me now. I’m just happy to be back! 😀 ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 14:45, 21 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please lift the ban off my friends account please. His name is NiknameEdaamp, and he is very sorry for vandalizing things. NiknameEdaamp1 (talk) 02:09, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page AFU. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
