To date, STiki has been used to revert 1,098,135 edits its users have identified as vandalism, spam, or otherwise unconstructive (see the leaderboard and editor milestones).
STiki may only be used by editors with a . Additionally, the account must meet some qualifications to reduce the probability of users misidentifying vandalism. The account must have either: (1) the rollback permission/right, (2) at least 1000 article edits (in the article namespace, not talk/user pages), or (3) special permission via the . We emphasize that users must take responsibility for their actions with STiki.
After login, users primarily interact with the GUI tool by classifying edits into one of four categories:
Deeper investigation: Sometimes a revert ("vandalism" or "good faith") will not repair all the issues presented in a diff or the diff doesn't contain enough evidence to make a definitive classification. In these cases, use the hyperlinks (blue underlined text) to open relevant pages in the default web browser. This is helpful, for example, to: (1) view the article talk page to see if some issue was discussed, (2) make changes using the normal interface, and (3) use other tools like Popups, Twinkle, and wikEdDiff.
Interface tips: STiki has hotkeys to ease user interaction with the tool. After a single edit has been classified with the mouse (giving the button panel "focus"), the keys V, G, P and I will mark edits as "vandalism", "good faith", "pass", and "innocent" respectively. While in the same mode, the Page Up, Page Down, Up Arrow (↑), and Down Arrow (↓) keys will also scroll the diff browser. Also note that hyperlinks which appear in diffs can be opened in your web-browser, assuming that the "Activate Ext-Links" option (under the "Options" tab) is turned on. STiki stores your settings in a file named .STiki.props.xml, so it is possible to quickly edit your settings there.
