Is it possible to restrict this to specific namespace and specific activities like create article and new adtion in talk page? Thank you. --User:207.46.55.31 09:47, 27 October 2009
 * Currently it's not possible. I haven't actually looked at my code for this in months. There are a few things to fix and I'll see if I can add that too. --Hintswen 01:18, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Instruction / Documentation
Could you pleae detail you instructions? It's confusing. I've tried your settings.php and got an error:

''Woah there! This page is no longer valid. It looks like someone already used the token information you provided. Please return to the site that sent you to this page and try again … it was probably an honest mistake.'' And now? What next? --Fonds 19:24, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm... sounds like you haven't set the key/secret in auth.php and wiki2twitter.php --Hintswen 12:24, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I've never heard of setting a key/secret in auth.php.....  What do you mean?  --Fonds 20:09, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Aah sorry, just had a look at the code, turns out I changed the code after I wrote the instructions, have you set the key/secret in settings.php?--Hintswen 20:28, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * If you are trying to work out if this still works after the API change that happened at the end of August, it should still work as it uses OAuth (which is why the setup process is so complicated). The instructions should be:
 * 1. Create a twitter application and set the callback URL to your auth.php file (and choose read and write, not just read permission)
 * 2. Set the key and secret variables in settings.php
 * 3. Login to the twitter account you wish to use
 * 4. Open auth.php from your browser and authorize the application for the account
 * 5. Set the access token and access token secret in settings.php
 * 6. Add require_once("$IP/extensions/wiki2twitter/wiki2twitter.php"); to your LocalSettings.php file.

 * Thank you for your support, but this is too time-consuming and complicated to me. --Fonds 22:52, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Alright, Sorry I can't really make it any easier, OAuth is more complicated to set up than the REST API.--Hintswen 05:22, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Incompatible with MW1.18
Tried an installation of the extension on a MW1.18 installation and does not appear to work. No errors are displayed, but Tweet is never posted. --Varnent 22:03, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Interest in assistance?
Greetings, I've been working on some extensions for social media use. I was wondering if you would mind if I did some updates and revisions to this one. I'd also like to move it to the mediawiki svn repo if that's alright. Also thinking about a possible merger with Extension:TweetANew with options to allow just new articles. Essentially have a merger of these two running on my wiki now. Let me know if that is alright and of interest. Thanks! --Varnent 04:57, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
