hi Beau, i'm thankful for your theiphonewiki twitter bot :) is it a known issue that it'll often post duplicates and updates out of order? --Beej 23:39, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
- Hey Beej! Sorry for the incredibly delayed reply, I've been lazy. I believe I've fixed the twitter bots now; originally it was a caching problem but now I believe I've fixed it. If there's any more problems, don't hesitate to shout! --Beau 11:23, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
- Hey. We are still getting duplicate tweets. --Toddyt1 20:12, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
- yep. i'm still seeing problems. eg: http://twitter.com/#!/theiphonewiki currently shows 2 tweets with different bit.ly shortened URL's for the same update: http://bit.ly/i4tasm and http://bit.ly/hEEX4i --Beej 00:06, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
- Hey ToddyT and Beej; this is by design. If a page has had multiple changes, there will be a separate tweet with a link pointing to that 'difference' of the wiki page. However, I did just notice thanks to you Beej, that there seems to be duplicate tweets with the different bit.ly URLS; one is www.theiphonewiki and the other is just theiphonewiki; I think this is due to whatever the editor was using to access the site and gets pushed through the RSS feed. I should be able to fix this.... 'should'! Bear with me. :) --Beau 00:13, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
- hi Beau. I still see occasional dupes. Also, yesterday, a few tweets went out with no links. Known issues? --beej 18:09, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
- Hi. There are still duplicates. Like this minor change I made that resulted in two tweets. Here the links to the tweets: [1] [2] As you can see they show both the same edit (/wiki/index.php?title=Cmw&diff=18275&oldid=prev) but once with domain http://www.theiphonewiki.com/ and one with http://theiphonewiki.com/. It would be great if you could fix that. -- http 19:29, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
- I'll see what I can do; unfortunately this is how MediaWiki posts to the Recent Changes RSS Feed. Ragh!--Beau 07:49, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
- Hi, Beau. Have you had a chance to take a look? If not, is the reason because you're out of cycles for this? If so, is there anyway somebody else could help? Cheers! beej 13:31, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
- Do you use the ATOM or RSS feed. That might be the problem. --Balloonhead66 16:12, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

@Balloonhead66: Yeah I use the RSS feed (theiphonewiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&feed=atom); as far as I know there's no other public way to access the recent changes. If you know of a way, please do let me know! Beau 23:14, 17 July 2011 (MDT)
- It's okay, Beau. The emotional scars I have from having my questions ignored should eventually heal ;P The reason I asked them is that perhaps there are wikimedia devs who'd like to collaborate with you. What you created is obviously insanely useful or we wouldn't be having this discussion :) What say ye? beej 04:42, 19 July 2011 (MDT)
