Twinkle not working - wrong response from server
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Author: firilacroco

Description:
The API server at Romanian Projects (all of them) responds at form.wpTextbox1.value with null and I suspect that the entire 'editform' form is working incorectly.

Firebug extension for Mozilla Firefox: form is null
unlinkBacklinks()(Object currentAction=Unlinking on Pagina principală)index.ph...countme=s (linia 2)
onload()()index.ph...countme=s (linia 1)
var text = form.wpTextbox1.value;

Twinkle: Reverting page: couldn't grab element "editform", aborting, this could indicate failed respons from the server

Is this a different response from the Romanian APIs form the English ones? If yes, what is different?

P.S. I've also posted this question at the English Wikipedia but nobody was interested in the Romanian Wikipedia :|

Thank you.

Sounds like a bug in Twinkle's JS rather than a bug in the bot API Twinkle uses. Changing component.

It sounds like Twinkle isn't using the API, but screen scraping -- which is likely to cause trouble... Looks like there's some bad HTML on the edit page, which is probably causing your trouble. See if we can work that out...
