Watchlist removal tool giving Error

Question

Using the tool from the menu My WikiTree > Watchlist.

I tick some people and click "Remove Selected from Watchlist". It goes to a screen titled "Bulk Watchlist/Trusted List Changes" that shows both a green "Done" message bar, below the title, and a yellow "Error" message bar above the title; no further error message. The people were not removed from my watchlist.

The other bulk watchlist tool (Special:TrustedListChanges) is working correctly.

What browser? How many profiles? Did you try with only one?

I'm asking because I assume you're using the Watchlist Removal Tool from WBE which I developed.

Yes, it does seem to be a WBE feature (the checkboxes don't appear with WBE disabled).  Removing only one person also gave the same error.   However, I disabled all WikiTree extensions just now and then re-enabled all extensions,  and then it started working correctly and I can no longer reproduce the error.  Am using latest Chrome,  and have WBE, BEE and Sourcer installed .

Thanks for checking. Keep me updated, in case it comes back. You might want to tag your question with wt_apps

Answer 1

Disabling all WT extensions (WBE, Bee and Sourcer) and re-enabling them fixed the problem.

Will message Florian if problem recurs.

I was able to reproduce it. It looks like performing an API login at https://api.wikitree.com/api.php also fixes the problem, which only occurs with non open profiles. I will see if I can make that smoother somehow.
