• More tolerant of Twitter outages --ShakataGaNai ^{^_^} 21:12, 14 August 2009 (UTC) Done --ShakataGaNai ^{^_^} 20:35, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
• Better handling of renames --ShakataGaNai ^{^_^} 21:12, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

• Seconded-I currently get the Tweets sent to my phone & it can get quite annoying!    Tris   23:00, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

• Aye Aye. I'll deal with that next then. --ShakataGaNai ^{^_^} 23:27, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

• Awesome, thanks!    Tris   08:22, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

• On site stats. Top clicked article over the last X period (24 hrs, 7 days). Historical data (clicks per link?). --ShakataGaNai ^{^_^} 20:14, 17 August 2009 (UTC) First part done, historical wont be done. --ShakataGaNai ^{^_^} 22:46, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
• Proper Facebook posting to replace the crap at the moment that posts the story title twice and no link to the full article. Post should have title as a link, first paragraph or less, and if an image is used that. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 22:52, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
  • That is going to be more challenging, but I will see what I can do. --ShakataGaNai ^{^_^} 15:33, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
    • http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Main_Page
    • http://developers.facebook.com/connect.php
    • http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Feed -- Useful
    • http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Feed_forms -- Most likely?
• Ability to register an account with a wikinewsie.org email address and create arbitrary shortcuts to wikinews.org pages. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 22:55, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
  • While not pretty (yet) you can use http://enwn.net/bookmark.php for any WMF (and wikinewsie) URL. I'm going to fix up the instructions and add on a better webui. --ShakataGaNai ^{^_^} 15:18, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
    • If anyones interested, you can add Shak's bookmarklet to the sidebar by adding the following JS to the bottom of special:mypage/monobook.js (or /vector.js, etc):

addOnloadHook(function () {addPortletLink('p-tb', "javascript:open('http://enwn.net/api.php?m=create&url='+escape(document.URL),%20'_new','width=300,height=100');void%200;", 'Shorten URL', 'enwn-url-shortener', 'Make a enwn.nwt shortcut for this page')});

Seems to be broken....

• Appears nonfunctional with https:// URLs, which are now far more commonly used - especially by those of us who prefer our ISPs not sniffing our passwords. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 14:40, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
