Supporting non-article namespaces
editI 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?
editGiving 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 on de.wp with Skin Monobook and Vector 2010
editAfter 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)
