Uhm, if you look at the bug I just posted, you'd see what verson of AWB I'm using (it was the latest snapshot at the tim of report). And I have 2GB of RAM, I have not experienced this issue before I was forced to update. --Charitwo ^(talk) 04:26, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Just posting a bug I encountered, given AWB's request I post it here—my guess is that this is probably just an issue with running AWB on a school computer. It failed with this bug if run off the (network?) H: drive assigned to me, but when its folder was copied to the desktop it ran fine. {{Nihiltres|talk|log}} 15:21, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

I suspect so, im sure this has been reported before... Depends on the network setup to whether running stuff works from a network drive (IIRC it works fine from my uni network drive, i just get pestered to hell with javascript script debugging) —Reedy 18:22, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Got this today at work too on 4.5 when running from network, but off pen drive it was fine. Rjwilmsi 21:03, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Suspect we should try and trap it and offer some advice... —Reedy 21:12, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Does AWB even get started up? AS im thinking its line 39 of Program.cs —Reedy 21:51, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

AWB does not start up. While trapping the error would be useful it would be nicer to understand why the error occurs (I have full read/write to the network share, Firefox runs fine from there). Rjwilmsi 08:05, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Workaround	Using "Random Pages" as source instead of "Special page - Random Pages". Or just avoid being too quick.
Fixed in version	Unknown

How to replicate this bug:
- Start AWB
- Login
- Set "Special page" as list source
- Click the "Make list" button
- select "Random Pages" as source
- Press the Enter key
- Click the "Make list" button
- Press the Enter key
Repeat these last two steps a couple of times, rather quickly (I mean buttonbash), and soon you'll see an errormessage pop up.

The errormessage in Dutch roughly translates to:
A form that is already displayed as a modal, can not be displayed as a modal dialog form. Close the form before calling showDialog.

This probably means that AWB calls the function "showDialog" while the form "Special Pages" is open. It might be possible to solve this by checking if the form is already open before calling the "showDialog" function.

In the link you provided, you included the quotes ("based off"). Are you doing the same for AWB? If so, try it without the quotes. Like Reedy, I get 1000 pages when doing it without the quotes. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 02:58, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I am including the quotes, exactly as in the wiki search I linked. It works without the quotes, but obviously these results are useless when searching for the whole phrase.

Suggest that key for ordering the sources for display should be distinct from the persistent value stored. Rich Farmbrough, 18:24 5 February 2009 (UTC).

Its not between versions per se, ie its not the version change that breaks it, its the adding of new list providers... —Reedy 19:26, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I get that. That's why I'm suggesting that the index number stored in the XML be constant for a given source. The order the list is displayed in the select drop down can be independent of that - driven off a separate sort-key. Rich Farmbrough, 21:20 12 February 2009 (UTC).

Yeah... Its working out what this sort key should be.. Or how we generate it.. —Reedy 15:50, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Ok so what we have is like this

1 cat

2 links

3 text

If we make the list of links the number 2 is stored in the XML. If another method is added (or indeed we simply re-ordered the list of methods) thus

1 cat

2 cat recursive

3 links

4 text

the XML now points to a different method

If instead we had a list sort order and a unique id:

1 1 cat

2 2 links

3 3 text

and we add a new method

1 1 cat

2 4 cat recursive

3 2 links

4 3 text

the XML now points to the same method.

[edit] Two problems with restart time

[edit] Timeout preference ignored

Those are different functionality. The timeout is related to the web request timeout (ie how long the web browser will wait for a response from the server before giving up). —Reedy 19:45, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Suggestions:

• Make the difference evident to the user (it's reasonable to assume that “wait XX seconds” refers to the one and only visible seconds timer).

rev 4086 —Reedy 23:07, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

• Add a preference to change the visible timeout (for me, at least 1 in 8 pages stalls, and it waits for the full 60 seconds every time – the delay serves no purpose except to keep my edits/minute down at 1 or 2).

Thanks. —Michael Z. 2009-03-17 20:10 z

[edit] Timeout preference silently wipes out values below 30

The numeric up down control is set to take a minimum of 30.. So if you set less, it'll give 30 as its answer. I suspect, though, you're not leaving the control or similar... Want the limit lowering? —Reedy 23:05, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

I don't need a lower value (wrong timeout, see previous bug), it's just that the control is misleading. Here's what I notice upon closer examination:

Type in a number lower than 30. Click OK. The number resets to 30, but this is only visible for a fraction of a second before the dialogue disappears. In effect, your input is silently rejected. You think you've set the timeout to 15, but you haven't.

Fix:

• Include text in the dialogue letting the user know the legal range (like “min. 30”, or “30+”).
• If user enters an illegal figure and hits OK:
  1. Don't dismiss the dialogue.
  2. Beep to notify of error.
  3. Reset the figure to the nearest legal value (30).
  4. Select the figure, so the user can just start typing and hit enter.

[edit] Re: Empty results for "What links here" and "What transcludes page"

Pulled this from the archives. It was said to be fixed in late March, but in AWB 4.5.2.0 using:

Source: What links here (all NS)

What links to: Template:Snooker project

I get 0 pages. Changing source to "What links here", "What links here (inc. Redirects)", "What links here (all NS) (inc. Redirects)", and "What transcludes page", I still get 0 results, despite over 500 pages using that template redir, which needs to be replaced with Template:WikiProject Snooker proper, or WP:AALERTS won't work properly with the project in question. Also tried removing the "Template:" from it, and none of those options worked either. I'm kind of at a loss as to what to do about this, since I'm not going to edit hundreds of these things manually. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 19:53, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

I confirm this. I got the same for WPBiography. -- Magioladitis (talk) 19:58, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

NB: If you were going to do an AWB run similar to mine, but for bio articles, you'll probably want to do it in the opposite direction. While Template:WikiProject Biography exists as a redir to Template:WPBiography, the latter is used orders of magnitude more frequently. I'd prefer it if all projects used the "Template:WikiProject Whatever" convention, but changing that one in particular would be an enormous job. It does not have to be changed to work with AALERTs (the AALERTs template has a flag for specifying the banner name), it just has to be consistent, so the few {{WikiProject Biography|...}} instances around would simply need to be changed to {{WPBiography|...}}. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 20:14, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

[9] - Is what it should be loading... Does it work on some of the older versions? Or has there been an API change..? —Reedy 23:01, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Nothing actually links to that page.. Hence no results. What transcludes page (All NS) should give you what you want... —Reedy 23:09, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Having similar problems. 0 results when trying to get transclusions of Wikipedia:Featured article tools or {{Featured article candidates}}. No permutation of what links here is returning transcluding pages for me, either. Maralia (talk) 03:44, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

What transcludes page (All NS), using "Template:Featured article candidates" gives 52 results. What links here (All NS), using "Wikipedia:Featured article tools", gives 12 pages —Reedy 18:20, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

ArticleAlertbot does work with template redirects... It's just that in the subscription, you need to specify the main template (rather than a redirect). For the pages tagged with a project banner, template redirects are fine. --B. Wolterding (talk) 19:18, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Bold names

I thought that was what AWB was doing. Moreover, in the edit you show us the uncategorised tag wasn't moved to the bottom as it should. -- Magioladitis (talk) 18:06, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

I just tried this again at Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Sandbox and the same thing happened; it just delinked the title without bolding it. Please note that for that edit I deactivated my custom gen fixes module and just applied the normal built-in general fixes. As for the uncategorized tag, I suspect that that wasn't moved either because my bot is set not to auto tag articles or because it doesn't sort meta data. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 18:37, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

It's always worked for me, like here. It should only do it for articles, so AWB was correct in not doing it for your Sandbox example, but the Andrew Mwangura one is puzzling. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 19:16, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

rev 4327 Partial fix: self links in lead section are converted to bold (if no bold title in lead section already). Self links in the rest of the article are later delinked. Custom modules must call EmboldenTitles before Fixlinks for this to work, I've updated the example on the Custom Modules page. However, I'm not sure if this is going to be 100% the desired behaviour as some articles seem to use self linking when they want bolding in other parts of the text. Before running any bot against pages with self links using this logic we need to see if this new behaviour reliably the correct thing to do. Rjwilmsi 11:01, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Seems fair; I'll bring up a discussion at the CHECKWIKI talk page. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 12:50, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

This was requested behaviour. Well, to remove tags if GF was enabled (still going to do so under auto tag). Though, i sorta agree that it shouldnt be removing it as its just a stub tag reating the category. Whats the actual bug that you're reporting? —Reedy 11:20, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

It was reported beforeWikipedia_talk:AutoWikiBrowser/Bugs/Archive_10#Tagger_-_removing_uncat

According to Wikipedia_talk:AutoWikiBrowser/Bugs#Uncategorized_tag_not_added, {{uncat}} is added if there just a stub template. IMHO, it should also be added if there are only maintenance categories. -- User:Docu

How would AWB define a maintenance category? Rjwilmsi 09:46, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

It wouldn't, but it could tag articles as uncategorized that only use reference, coord missing, or article issue templates. The later generally apply maintenance categories. -- User:Docu

Hm, to not add uncat is OK, but to remove it on an assumption? Also seems to be happening to Orphan.

Marking as fixed. AWB doesn't remove tags in GF now. —Reedy 22:41, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Unbalanced brackets msg doesn't go away

Ok, but just as when you "delink" a multiple wikilink that message goes away, it would be nice if this did too. If you have a really long article, and you remove a set of unbalanced brackets, how do you know there aren't more in the article? shirulashem (talk) 01:10, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

I used to save it and have it checked it once more (I think the bug that reloaded the page has been fixed now though). If you are working on one of the WP:CheckWiki reports (e.g. #43, #47), it doesn't matter that much if one is missed, as the next day, the report would list additional occurrences. -- User:Docu

I will investigate whether AWB can be made to recheck for unbalanced brackets and remove the alert if appropriate when the user invokes the 're-parse' option. Rjwilmsi 14:36, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

rev 4685 When re-parsing, recalculate the article statistics. Alerts should also be re-done, but that's going to be more effort: alerts are based on article properties, which the ArticleEX object created on re-parse doesn't have. Rjwilmsi 15:08, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Replacing underscores in image file names

Status	New
Description	AWB replaces underscores in file names, for example this edit. Apparently this behavior is considered normal (previous discussion) but I am afraid there are reasons, listed below, which make it undesirable. I am not an AWB operator, rather I am reporting AWB behavior which I consider unhelpful and am officially requesting a change to stop this behavior. That indicates this bug report rather than a feature request. AWB replaces underscores in links, such as [[United_States]] --> [[United States]] which is obviously desirable. However, as a consequence of that action it also replaces underscores in file names in image placement wiki markup, for example [[Image:Quincy_MA_geography.png|thumb| ... and features]] --> [[Image:Quincy MA geography.png|thumb| ... and features]] from the diff linked above. This is undesirable because: Unlike links, changing the underscores to spaces in file names has no effect on display of text visible to readers. Changing the underscores to spaces does have an effect on MediaWiki software handling of the file name, in fact it causes MediaWiki to reinsert the underscores before processing database key names and URLs, see the manual. 1 and 2 together make the changing of underscores into spaces a pointless edit which also adds a small step to page processing that is unnecessary. Changing the underscores to spaces in file names adds marked edits to diffs which are moot and can be ignored, but nevertheless clutter the diff listing with meaningless edits. Since URLs are served by MediaWiki with all file names using underscores to represent spaces, a file which was saved from a browser "Save" command or any other file retrieval method including automated ones will include the underscores. An editor who later copies the name of a file from within an edit window or diff which has had the underscores changed to spaces by AWB to perform some operation on the downloaded file on the local machine would need to replace the spaces with underscores after pasting the copied file name. The same holds true for a file on the local machine uploaded previously which originally had underscores in the name. This may be considered a minor annoyance but it also would be unnecessary if AWB had simply left the file name alone. As an old school coder, looking at a file name without the underscores actually takes more mental processing as well. The spaces break the name of a file into unfamiliar multiple pieces which I have to put back together mentally before comprehending the actual file name I uploaded. None of these issues would ever arise if AWB would simply ignore underscores in file names i.e. not change any underscores following the strings "[[File:" or "[[Image:" and preceding a pipe character "|" (or in the absence of any parameters for image placement wiki markup, preceding the closing brackets "]]"). This would allow AWB to continue fixing links with underscores in the image caption. I would like to see that change made in future releases of AWB for the sake of elegance and to avoid wasted time, since underscore replacement behavior in the case of file names is obviously unnecessary.

Workaround
Fixed in version

I have no strong feelings one way or the other, and I wouldn't consider this to be a "bug", but I'd like to give an additional reason not listed above, which I personally think is the most important. File names with spaces instead of underscores are much more likely to be corrupted by careless non-AWB users editing them. With underscores it looks more like a single unit which should not be edited. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 01:43, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

(undent; long post): My feeling is that the underscores should be removed, for the following reasons:

1. In my opinion, the edit page is easier to read without underscores than with. This would seem to be a general consensus since this is the first time that it has ever been brought up to my knowledge.
2. Don't worry about performance. This has never caused trouble for how many years? Unless a developer says something or there is an obvious problem, this performance change seems neglibible. It's like changing &amp; to &.
3. See #2.
4. AWB's adding or removal of whitespace, movement of interwiki links, etc., also make such changes... no real change, but they add to the diff. However, they do serve to standardize page formatting and layout. Honestly, it isn't hard to tell if an edit is inconsequential.
5. I really don't understand what you're saying on this one (not technically-minded enough yet), but this seems like something that would affect only a fraction of a fraction of users.
6. I think that most people here aren't "old school coders". I'm pretty new to things like JavaScript and CSS, and in those, yes, you use underscores for many things related to URLs. But you also use <h2> for section headers. This isn't HTML or C++ or JavaScript; it's wikitext, and to a non-coder spaces make more sense, just like bullets to create lists make more sense than <li> tags (since I just got really interested in coding stuff a few months ago, I can assure you that this is true from personal experience).

(in response to Mandrax's comment): Most people who edit Wikipedia understand link syntax, and know that changing things between double brackets can cause links to break. This doesn't seem any more likely with images than with other links. Besides, how often do you see someone make this kind of error where having underscores would have prevented it?

Additionally, using underscores causes longer image names to create goofy line wraps in the edit box... another minor point, but it can come up.

So yes, I think that this is perfectly good and positive functionality for AWB. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 02:05, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Mandarax – Hard to call it a bug, but I couldn't call it a feature request so I put it here. I agree with your single unit file name point, in the example above it could appear the file name is "geography.png" after AWB, but no question it is really "Quincy_MA_geography.png" before AWB indiscriminately changed it.

Drilnoth – Here I go, and I hope this helps:

File name causes strange wraps, like long URLs, not a big problem. But breaking the file name goes back to my first point here, answering Mandarax. It increases the possibility that an editor might accidentally screw up the file name as well. To conclude, the edit done here by AWB in my eyes is silly and disruptive. Like I said, I embrace the improvements of technology but something about this particular behavior really bothers me, and it could be fixed very easily in AWB code by a little parsing of the text inside double brackets to have it avoid changing file names and go on changing all the other underscores. Congrats on getting into coding, I really appreciate a detailed response, and clicking the edit link beside the section header is better too (inside joke from VP). Sswonk (talk) 03:44, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Fair enough. I am still inclined to disagree with you position on this, but I will not oppose the removal of the change. Thank you for taking the time to expand on your reasoning. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 22:43, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
