    Does AFCH script have a problem with edit conflicts?

    I noticed in this edit that my comments edit clobbered some recent (2 to 5 minutes earlier) edits by the submitter. This doesn't seem right. Can the addition of comments or a review be made more atomic (or if not atomic, at least confined to a few seconds)? Or am I doing something wrong? — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 04:40, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Bear in mind the script takes the version of the page you last loaded as current. Example, you load the page wait 10 minutes and fire up the script, which is working on how the page was 10 minutes ago, if you spend 5 minutes writing your comment, that comment will be inserted on the version from 15 minutes ago. A workaround is too refresh the page before commenting (after reading it) and to spend a limited amount of time actually writing your comments. I hope this makes sense, I would test it further but I don't have access right now.  --- Α Guy Into Books™ § (Message) -  13:39, 27 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    A recent change I made to the script might stop this behavior, because I figured it was causing more confusion than it was worth. Enterprisey (talk!) 03:02, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    When one accepts or declines a submission, it gives choices of random AFC submission ("Continue to next random submission (1937), GFOO submission (67), or very old submission"). But the very old submission links to an incorrect url instead of the correct url. A fix would be appreciated. Galobtter (talk) 07:17, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    I was wondering if that might happen. I changed the name of the category recently and apparently missed one. Thanks for the update, I'll make sure it gets passed along. Primefac (talk) 13:08, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Fixed! Thanks for pointing that out. Enterprisey (talk!) 02:10, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Script not cleaning up comments

    A draft was accepted by SwisterTwister but the script didn't cleaned up the AFC comments made when it is in draftspace, as it would normally do. See permalink to page before I removed them. Is this from the script? Pinging @Primefac and Enterprisey:  — Ammarpad (talk) 09:54, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    My guess would be either ST closed the page before the script was done editing, or there was a script error client-side, because I see nothing strange as far as the code on the page goes. Primefac (talk) 15:15, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    OK,  — Ammarpad (talk) 05:03, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    script complaining im not listed

    the script keeps saying that im not listed at participants (which I am, i checked.), and won't run. -- Aunva6talk - contribs 17:39, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Another capitalization issue. @Primefac: just need to change the capitalization to Aunva6 not aunva6. Galobtter (pingó mió) 17:55, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Aunva6, I take it that you're interested in becoming active again? Primefac (talk) 18:23, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    yes. i actually tracked down the bit of code that's causing it, as the script is case sensitive. probably easier to use an editnotice or hat to tell adding admins to ensure capitalization is correct. -- Aunva6talk - contribs 18:31, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Since that's "me", I will make a note (and I've already fixed a few others on the list). Primefac (talk) 18:32, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Categories

    Apparently, the "Add categories" box now only lists categories that are already listed in the draft. For example, for Draft:Avant Festival, only 4 categories are allowed in the categories box and any other category name will just display "No results match Foo" regardless of whether the categories actually exist or not. Is there a recent change somewhere in the code that causes this to occur? Is this intentional, or is this a bug that should be reverted? PrimeHunter suggested at WP:VPT#Categories in AFC script that I should post the problem here instead of there. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 19:32, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    This doesn't sound like a script issue, but a lookup issue (I don't think AFCH has even been updated in the last day or so). Enterprisey? Primefac (talk) 13:47, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Similar for me too.. Galobtter (pingó mió) 18:06, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Reproduced and investigating. I'm not sure what's causing this right now, but I should have it figured out soonish. Enterprisey (talk!) 21:51, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Alright, should be fixed. Let me know if there are further issues. Enterprisey (talk!) 23:04, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
