As a user of VandalProof and AWB, I know how all those semi-automatic tools facilitate our work. But both VP and AWB have a list of registered editors and you cannot use them to make any controversial edits. Those tools are here to simplify routine changes and/or to fight vandals. Unfortunately, popups have been recently abused by User:VinceB in edit warring. He used popups to revert my edits[1] and, earlier, he tracked down reverted more than ten edits of User:PANONIAN's in another edit war.[2] Do you think guys it is safe to allow users with a long block log to play with popups? The use of popups as a weapon in an edit war is just annoying, but I am afraid someone will use them sooner or later to vandalize and that will be a real problem. Are there any security measures employed to prevent an abuse of popups? Tankred 00:03, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
I have an idea for making IPA symbols more comprehensible, using tooltips. I have made a template ((Ʒ)) that contains [[ʒ as in beige=beɪʒ|ʒ]], and then a redirect at [[ʒ as in beige=beɪʒ]] to the appropriate phonetic page. (Here it is without nowiki: ʒ, and here's a link to edit the template page: ((Ʒ)). The discussion of this concept is here: template talk:Ʒ. Without popups, this works wonderfully: someone who doesn't know IPA sees blue text, moves their mouse over the link, then sees the quickie pronunciation help in the tooltip, and if they want to know more, they click and get the appropriate article. But popups makes it a major pain in the neck. Is there some easy way to tag the template so popups ignores these links? Or if not, could you please add a (span nopopups) feature to do this? Thanks, --Homunq 22:00, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Is there an option for a side-by-side display of the differences in the recent changes of an article? John Reaves 05:31, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
Sometimes when I click on a link to go to another page, a popup from a link in the previous page gets "frozen" onto the next page, and it won't disappear unless I refresh the page. How to fix this? --Schzmo 23:01, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm not really familiar with Pop-ups, and don't really wish to be, but I find myself pretty offended when I am reverted with an edit summary like this that simply alludes to a tool rather than explains the edit. It seems to be saying, in effect, that my edit was vandalism, which it certainly was not. This is not the first time this has happened. I assume this is not intended as a tool to make WP:OWN and edit-warring easier. Are there some guidelines about this? - Jmabel | Talk 20:12, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

I inquired with the following three topics (subtopics here) at user talk:Lupin/popups.js awhile back. —EncMstr 18:49, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
When viewing a popup difference, popups sometimes truncates the list of differences and shows Diff truncated for performance reasons at the bottom. This is well and good and it usually does the right thing, but every once in a while, I'm interested enough to see more, but not so much as to open another window. Would it be feasible to add a feature to indicate the user wants to see more? Like this:
— EncMstr 23:31, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
My monobook.js has, among other settings
popupRevertSummaryPrompt = true; popupQueriedRevertSummary = 'revert vandal [[special:contributions/$3|$3]] ([[user talk:$3|talk]]) to last version by '; popupQueriedRevertToPreviousSummary = 'revert vandal [[special:contributions/$3|$3]] ([[user talk:$3|talk]]) to last version by ';
When viewing a revert worthy popup difference, I click on actions then revert. Perhaps once out of ten times, the evil editor's ID correctly replaces $3 and all I have to do is add the previous editor's name at the end. The other nine times, $3 has the previous edit's editor ID—a surprisingly tedious edit to fix.
I'm primarily using SeaMonkey 1.0.6 on XP SP2, but observe identical behavior with FireFox 1.5.0.8. — EncMstr 23:31, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
I accidently stumbled across this feature of popups in text edit boxes: if a double square bracket enclosed string is highlighted, hovering the mouse cursor over it activates useful popup features. (Way cool, by the way. Thanks.) The only thing that was infuriating—until I understood the cause—is that highlighting must be done with the mouse—if it's done using the keyboard (for example, holding down shift while pressing the arrow keys), the highlight isn't magic enough. (Weird, eh?) — EncMstr 23:31, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi all, I had a question at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Spam about the possibility of using popups as an interface for antispam work. Is that feasible? Could it be implemented soon? The spam problem is getting horrendous and we need automated tools. Some of the backend tools are ready (or could be made so soon), such as those listed at m:User:Eagle 101/Spam. Thakns - Taxman Talk 04:38, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure how any of this works, but lately I have been losing popups fucntionality. First, the "Since" tab disappeared, and today I see that all the other great features are gone. Has there been an update or something that I need to know about? and re-add to my file? --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 22:23, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
I have been using popups in my project page since 2002 (MouseOver !Q!)... never any problem. I recently installed SNAP popup preview in my "MozDawg" blog ... it was, truly, a snap. No problem. Here, with this, I have CTRL-SHIFT-R a number of times, I have gone into T)ools, O)ptions and cleared Cache. I have restarted. I have rebooted. I have no joy. Perhaps Firefox is not supported? (I bet it has something to do with popup blocker; mebbe needs to be white-listed? Nope ... no such luck.) --BenTremblay 21:08, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Help. Popups was working fine for me and then mid march the problems discussed above started. I've tried their work around (even copying and pasting their pages) but it continues with the 'unknowns'.

Can someone help me out / look at my js file? - Ctbolt 11:45, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
I have tried to get Popups to work properly, so I followed the instructions on WP:POPUPS. Mainly to get rid of the really annoying purple preview box that now appears whenever I highlight text in the edit window. So I edited my Monobook.js to look like this (I want a slightly longer delay, the admin links, no purple preview thing, and no images in the popup):
// User:Lupin/popups.js - please include this line importScript('User:Lupin/popups.js'); popupDelay=2; popupAdminLinks=true; popupOnEditSelection=false; popupImageLinks=false;
... and now it doesn't work. Whenever I tried to edit a page, my browser crashed (using IE 6). I had to delete my monobook.js before I could edit any pages on Wikipedia. What am I doing wrong? Please bear in mind I am virtually ignorant when it comes to coding, so please explain what I need to do to make it work simply. Proto ► 15:56, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
I've been using popups for some time now for previewing articles and diffs etc. Recently, when highlighting a bracketed term in the editing text frame, instead of previewing the page in a popup in the box, a teal bar now appears above the editing area with a wikilink to the highlighted bracketed text, which I then have to move the mouse to in order to produce a popup preview. I recently changed some values (FixRedirs=true; FixDabs=true; RevertSummaryPrompt=true) - perhaps that is responsible? Your assistance would be very much appreciated. Cheers, TewfikTalk 07:46, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
It is almost impossible to edit with that purple preview box. I've disabled it with the popupOnEditSelection fix (which luckily worked for me; I refuse to edit with that horrible purple preview box, which doesn't work correctly, causes the page to jump unexpectedly, and unhighlights text I'm trying to highlight), but now when I highlight a wikilink in the edit box, it doesn't display the normal pop-ups navigation box. How do I get that feature back? Firsfron of Ronchester 22:22, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
It's horrible! Can we go back to the "old way" please? Popups in edit mode used to be great, now it's an annoyance. See further comments on the village pump about this. --kingboyk 12:23, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
I don't mind the purple box, but what I do miss is the ability to highlight wiki code for a category and get a preview; I use this when I want to see if the category exists, or if there's a suitable sub-category I can use. That is, in the edit box, I could once highlight
[[Category:Films]]
and get a popup for the category; now when I highlight it I get an empty purple box above my edit box. If I use a colon
[[:Category:Films]]
, I can get a popup, but then I have to remember to remove the colon. Is this a bug or a feature? Thanks - Her Pegship (tis herself) 22:03, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Is there any way to implement this as a server-side extension in an external MediaWiki Wiki, so it's on for users by default, but only for certain links/images (defined in the page being edited), and with custom content for the popup?

Hi, folks. I'm having an intermittent error with Popups--sometimes when I try to preview a webpage, I get "Preview failed :-( Is the query.php extension installed?" Is this in Popups, or in the main Wiki code?

I just installed popups today, and I'm having a small problem...the popups work fine, but every time I try to use the Refresh button (on Internet Explorer) on the Recentchanges screen, the browser freezes, and I have to quit and log in again. Is this a problem with my computer or with the popups script, and if it's the latter, is there anything I can do about it? It's not catastrophic (as the Recentchanges screen works fine if I use the navigation panel at the side, rather than the Refresh button), but it's annoying. Walton Vivat Regina! 17:51, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
The last few days when I've been editing a page, if I delete some text, the navpops picks more text, delets it all, then puts it in a blue box above the edit box, as if previewing the text I've deleted. This blocks my ability to undo on my broswer, and is incredibly annoying--why do I want to preview text I've deleted? And, because it has links as hyperlinks, instead of as brackets, I can't just copy and paste it back in. What is happening? How do I stop this? Is this new? Help! It's totally useless, annoying, and makes editing difficult rather than easier. KP Botany 22:37, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
Forget it, I removed it. This was a rather handy program, I don't understand why someone trashed it to make it unusable--that seems to be contrary to its stated purpose: convenience. It is never convenient to override the user's browser tools, and posting the text I just copied above the edit box was completely pointless, and only meant I couldn't undo whatever it was I was doing. And, picking up more text than I selected? Whatever for? Is it machine-coded to assume the user really wanted the whole bottom of the page rather than the one word they highlighted? Meaning I had to go back in and replace text that NavPop had deleted for me to make it appear as if I had vandalized an article--whatever would this be used for, the assumption that the user always wanted ALL of the rest of the text in the box highlighted rather than what they selected? Geeze. How incredibly frustrating--this should have come with a warning to users that it had been made unusable. KP Botany 20:36, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

I noticed today that this doesn't work with Mozilla. With Mozilla 1.4.1, most of the popups don't show up at all, and the ones that do look very strange; I also see this in the javascript console:
Error: this.article has no properties Source File: http://..../popups.js Line: 6217
I thought I was doing something wrong, until I realised it works flawlessly in firefox. -Steve Sanbeg 16:04, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
A short time ago I found that the popups no longer showed the preview. They would show the first part and maybe a photo, but no content.
It seems there is a conflict with wikEd (User:Cacycle/wikEd) which explicitly installs Pilaf's Live Preview also. It used to work, but I suppose changes to one or the other brought them into conflict, pulling in different versions or something?
I commented out the latter from my monobook.js file, and all is well. wikEd's preview still works, because popups is being installed first.

The section links seem to do url-type substitution on non-alphabet characters, like spaces becoming '.20'.

Hello. I was thinking what would happen when you update (e.g. fix a bug in) the popups.js file. Does using "importScript('User:Lupin/popups.js');" guarantee that the browser will load the latest version every time? Or are the users required to CTRL+F5 to get the latest version of the javascript?
Your prompt answer is appreciated. huji—TALK 10:19, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
An option on the lines of popupRedirAutoClick='wpSave'

Is there any way to make popups work in other wikis (specifically egamia.com)? It runs on MediaWiki 1.9 I think. This is a great tool, and it would be very nice if it worked on that site. --DanMP5 | contribs 03:29, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Would it be possible to add an option that enables you to specify the number of hours the local (wikipedia) time differs from UTC?
For example, in the German wikipedia timestamps of edits are shown (maybe set too, I don't know) in CET (respectively CEST during daylight saving time). But the time submitted in revert summery (related to the version you're reverting to; that what replaces the $2 parameter in popupQueriedRevertSummary) is in UTC. So this is a little bit confusing when watching the history page. Adding the offset assigned to this new option (probably first converted to seconds if js requires this - I'm a js-1) to the time the edit reverting to was made could IMO resolve this.
For en.wikipedians the value of this option will remain 0, but for wikipedians contributing to a wiki with another standard time zone such an option would be very useful.
Changing the my preferences -> date and time -> offset doesn't resolve this problem.
At the moment I'm changing the time manually at every edit.
<side note:> If the user uses a wiki with daylight saving time, the only thing he will have to do is to change the value of this option at his monobook.js twice a year. Implementing an automated function simulating this would probably be too complicated. And it isn't expected too much of the user doing this alone. </side note>
Please excuse me if I've overlooked a possibility doing this by now. A short note where I can find an answer would be helpful. --Oxymoron83 08:38, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

I like the pop-ups; however, I have a slight problem. Several times (4 to my recollection), the browser (IE 6) hangs when I'm using pop-ups, leaving me no choice but to shut down the current task.

I expect I've misse dthe discussion, or overlooked it on the FAQ page, but is there an option for turning off the "save button clicked automatically"? I'd like to be able to put comments on some, if not all, the revisions I do using the popup. Darkson - I have a dream 15:41, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
I was using the popups to compare the history of an article when I got this message "Popups: an odd thing happened. Please retry" Any clue as to what this means? Think outside the box 10:44, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
I mainly use popups for fixing incoming links to disambiguation pages, as described in Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links. For some time now however, surname pages (which were formerly covered by the disambiguation category) are now separate from dab pages and even got their own ((surname)) template and category (Category:Surnames with all sub-cats), i.e. they no longer appear in the disambiguation category per se. Still, some surname pages have incoming links that need to be directed to the right person. Is it possible to have the popup options treat surname pages like disambiguation pages? The only parameter that is relevant here seems to be popupFixDabs=true; – sgeureka t•c 14:11, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
I've had quite a few instances where Popups apparently causes pages to load improperly in Safari, substituting the following into the text seemingly at random.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Lupin/navpop.css&action=raw&ctype=text/css&dontcountme=s">
This can even happen in the middle of a the edit box of a page, and then be left unnoticed in the edit. Ugh. Some diffs of it happening to me and to others: [5], [6]
Hope you can fix this soon. Ichibani utc 07:45, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi! Thought I should let you know, if you use Popups and hover over a link like one to the Orion Nebula (careful, don't hover over that) article, Popups tries to load the image on that page, which is 18-point-something MB, which is really really huge and fills up my 1 GB of memory in seconds and causes swapping and, ultimately, a crash. Perhaps a limit on the files to be displayed? — SheeEttin {T/C} 22:29, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I've been using popupFixDabs and it really works great! Except for one thing: When fixing a Dab, it automatically pushes for me the "Show Changes" button. Is there any way to get it to push "Save Page?" I have never done anything where, upon viewing the changes, I have decided not to save it. If it could press Save Page, it would probably reduce the time it takes for me to disambiguate by 75%! -Seidenstud 22:08, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello. Are there any options for the sort order of list of links for disambiguating to? Sometimes I think I would prefer if the list was in the same order as they appear on the disambiguation page. Ewlyahoocom 21:02, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
I'd like to request a menu option to directly view article logs at Special:Log, e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=Wikipedia_talk:Tools/Navigation_popups. This is especially helpful with redlinks, so that it's possible to see if it is an article that has been deleted, or just a suggestion for an article that nobody has ever written. I often find myself clicking on the action|history item, then clicking on the Show all logs wikilink on that page. This could obviously be an optional feature that few users will choose to turn on. --Dhartung | Talk 01:27, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
e.g. A Clockwork Orange. It might be tricky because, of course, the page doesn't transclude ((disambig)). But could it work if the hatnote uses ((dablink)) (or ((For)), ((Redirect)), etc. which use ((dablink)) internally)? Bonus points if it followed a hatnote link to a disambiguation page and picked the links up off there, too. As always, love this tool, keep up the good work! Ewlyahoocom 06:29, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
Thought this would go away on it's own - must be common enough, right? :) Well, I've been noticing for some time that if I allow a nested popup on an old revision to pop up and then go Actions-->Edit, it doesn't put in the old version's "oldid", it just goes to the current version of the page. Very important to have this, as using the blanket rv edit summary when reverting a good faith edit should generally be avoided, in favor of giving a full edit summary like "rv good faith edit - reads like original research, poor grammar, no citations." Can someone else confirm whether or not they have the same issue? MrZaiustalk 06:53, 5 October 2007 (UTC) PS: Doubly useful when blowing away several intermediate changes but reimplementing a couple of disparate trivial fixes in the same edit as the revert. Test old link that shows the same problem.
I love popups. However, I don't love it when using my iPhone's Safari browser. The first finger tap on a link is generally interpreted as a hover event and invokes a popup window. I then have to wait for the window to appear (which can be slow due to the poor data link) and then find a part of the link not covered by the popup window to re-tap. I'd much prefer to be able to suppress popups based on the type of browser I'm using (I happen to only use Safari from my iPhone and typically use FireFox elsewhere. Is it possible to configure monobook.js to do this? Thanks. Ronnotel 19:06, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
var iPhone = ( navigator.userAgent.indexOf('iPhone') != -1 ); if ( ! iPhone ) { importScript('User:Lupin/popups.js'); }

The section on Safari is somewhat out of date; an updated WebKit that works with popups shipped with OS X 10.5, and so users of that operating system don't need to use nightlies to get working popups with Safari. jhf 17:27, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
I have problems with safari on Russian wikipedia. Popups can't show pages with Unicode chars (not Unicode, but mix of unicode and spaces) in URL. `a5b 09:34, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
There is however still an issue with Popups that I have pointed out long ago... This is the fix. The problem is with using document.write() this function gives no guarantees to WHERE you write in case it is called from something within the <head>-element. Most browsers handle this somewhat intelligently by writing it the end of the HEAD element or somewhere else relatively safe, but Safari has really "multithreaded" this processing, and as a result there now seems to be a bug where sometimes it puts it smack in the middle of the body at times. This causes broken HTML when displaying files, but worst of all, on really large edit pages, it sometimes ends up in your Textarea, and will then add it to the article itself. Twinkle and the map javascript had the same issue and these were both fixed quite a while ago. Alternatively, Lupin could use the logic of the function itself directly, which would probably be more portable. I know of no CSS supporting browser that does not support this simply DHTML. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 19:52, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm getting the following
instead of the image preview, or whatever I'm supposed to get. Did I do something wrong? Rick Boatright (talk) 19:05, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
Please excuse the cross posting -- not sure where this belongs.
The Go and Search buttons on the Chick skin spill over into the edit box (in which I am currently typing).
Could they be moved beneath the Search box (directly above the Toolbox label).

Is there a way to make Popups work with Wikia's new Quartz skins? They offer a few advantages like Widgets in the sidebar. Will (Talk - contribs) 22:58, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
In the beginning of 2006, there was some discussion of how popups handles resolving redirects that are misspellings -- there was never a resolution.
Is it possible to revisit this? It would seem to be very handy to be able to fix a redirect link to not only point to the correct page, but also resolve the misspelling at the same time. -- BullWikiWinkle 20:28, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
