Revision-delete edits does not show successful operation
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG REPORT

Description

As a Wikidata Admin, when I click the RevisionDelete button to remove an entry from a page's history I do not get feedback whether the operation failed or succeeded, but when I press the button again I do get an error message that the revision has already been deleted.

I would like to see some indication of a successful operation when I use the RevisionDelete button on Wikidata on the first click.

See report on Wikidata:Contact the development team#Revision-deletion result.

Event Timeline

Just to clarify that the problem is the absence of any notification that the revdel was successful. (The error message when I click again is quite expected).

I just tried it out and got a proper success message (“Revision visibility updated.”) on both Test and real Wikidata. (Unless you mean a different kind of revision deletion?)

Original video files if you want to jump around / have video controls instead of just waiting for the GIF to repeat (the Wikidata test took quite a while to load):

Browsers used by Ymblanter when encountering the issue: Firefox last version (on Linux Manjara) and possibly Palemoon last version (Windows 7). Could we try to reproduce on these specific systems?

Hey @Pyfisch @matej_suchanek Are you performing revision-delete edits, and did you encounter the same issue? Thanks :)

No, sorry, I had no opportunity. But I can try to reproduce it in the sandbox if you wish.

@Lea_Lacroix_WMDE I don't have the revision-delete permission and never had it.

FWIW, my tests (see GIFs above) were on Firefox on Ubuntu Linux.

Notifications are now working, as per the discussion Wikidata:Contact the development team#Revision-deletion result.

Will reopen if the issue is encountered again.
