Formatting templatesWhile I'm waiting to see what I can do on Wikinews with AWB, I'm trying out the MWiki-Browser. How would I go about formatting all occurrences of a template with it? From *{{source|url=http://somewhere.at.example.com|title=This is not the news you are looking for|author=|pub=Example.com|date=August 25, 2006}} To *{{source|url=http://somewhere.at.example.com |title=This is not the news you are looking for |author= |pub=Example.com |date=August 25, 2006}}
Edit summary linkJust a minor niggle, but can AWB insert w:WP:AWB when not working on wikipedia? I get redlinks in the edit summary using it on Wikinews. --Brianmc 16:03, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Hiding tabs from pluginAny idea why the following code doesn't work Martin? Friend Shared Sub HideTabs()
For Each tabp As TabPage In SettingsTabs
tabp.Hide()
Next
End Sub
When this code does work: Friend Shared Sub HideTabs()
For Each tabp As TabPage In SettingsTabs
tabp.Text = "I love Bluemoose!"
Next
End Sub

Possible bug in CategorisationI am trying to remove Category:Giant Panda (Hip Hop) and AWB will not recognize the string. Is it possible that it has something to do with the parenthesis? --After Midnight 0001 21:16, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
Notification of new messagesWhen working on Wikinews and I get a new message on my talk page, AWB is trying to load up a Wikipedia page instead of a diff of my talk page on Wikinews. --Brianmc 07:27, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
Image bugHi Martin, I encountered a little image commenting out bug, see this diff. A random line break was previously added, so the formatting was [[Image:Delmarquis1.jpg|thumb|250px|right| Del Marquis in concert with [[Scissor Sisters]].]]'''Del Marquis''' (born '''Derek Gruen''' [[August 31]] [[1979]], [[New York]]) is ...

RedirectsI want to replace #REDIRECT [[(.*)]] (of course with the \ tags for regular expressions) with, e.g. car (just an example). If I enter this in "Find and Replace - Normal", that doesn't work. The problem is, AWB doesn't take care of this page and follows the redirect. On the redirected page ABW of course doesn't replace anything. Does anyone know how to make this work? Many thanks in advance, Pill- 18:04, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Feature requestCould we have an option under the "Make from" setting which fetches articles from a category and all it's subcategories? So for example, if you entered a category such as Category:Wikipedia maintenance, it would fetch all articles from that category, and then fetch all articles from the sub-categories too, etc etc until there were no more sub-categories. This would be very helpful for certain bot tasks. Thanks, — FireFox (talk) 10:21, 04 September 2006
International issueEven on fully localized projects, English names of special namespaces still could be used. For example, on de: you can use Auto tag - UncategorisedI was doing some removing of categories from articles, per WP:CFD and in some cases, the only category was removed, but in one case [1] the {{Uncategorised}} tag was added and the other [2] was not (I added it manually, so the diff shows it in there). They both had iw links, but the 2nd also had a stub tag. Does the stub tag keep the Uncategorised tag from getting applied, and if so, is that a possible upgrade opportunity? --After Midnight 0001 01:37, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Request to add Chinese Project SupportHello, I want to use AWB in Chinese Wikipedia, so I request to add Chinese (zh) project support. The namespace in Chinese project is in English (due to two different characters in the same project) , so I think Chinese project might be easier to be supported. You can contact me if needed. :) --Littlebtc 17:45, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
Add to selected list from categoryHey, How come sometimes when you select multiple categories, right click, the 'Add to selected list from category' is greyed out and requires multiple re-highlights and or re-right clicking. Anyone else noticed this? Would you be able to look into it please martin? Cheers Reedy Boy 19:00, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

minor editsIs there an option to mark the edits done through AWB such as spelling mistakes etc. as minor? I am unable to find it. Thanks -- Lost(talk) 06:24, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
Plugin example codeMartin, I think the example code needs a slight change regarding the ReadXML event. It needs to test the return value of MoveToAttribute() and if False, use the plugin's default value. In VB code like this is giving strange results: Friend Function XMLReadBoolean(ByVal reader As System.Xml.XmlTextReader, ByVal param As String) As Boolean
reader.MoveToAttribute(param)
Return Boolean.Parse(reader.Value)
End Function
Friend Function XMLReadString(ByVal reader As System.Xml.XmlTextReader, ByVal param As String) As String
reader.MoveToAttribute(param)
Return reader.Value
End Function
So I'll be changing my functions to take an ExistingValue argument, and return that if MoveToAttribute() returns false. HTH HAND :) --kingboyk 10:29, 8 September 2006 (UTC) In VB this code does the trick: Friend Module XMLUtils
Friend Function XMLReadBoolean(ByVal reader As System.Xml.XmlTextReader, ByVal param As String, _
ByVal ExistingValue As Boolean) As Boolean
If reader.MoveToAttribute(param) Then Return Boolean.Parse(reader.Value) Else Return ExistingValue
End Function
Friend Function XMLReadString(ByVal reader As System.Xml.XmlTextReader, ByVal param As String, _
ByVal ExistingValue As String) As String
If reader.MoveToAttribute(param) Then Return reader.Value Else Return ExistingValue
End Function
End Module
--kingboyk 10:41, 8 September 2006 (UTC) AWB process won't dieI've noticed that if I exit AWB (by closing the form) while it's trying to verify that I'm logged in, the process keeps on running for several minutes (until I kill it). Note that this is with no plugins installed, just plain AWB. --kingboyk 14:55, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
hndis and surnameI recently separated the surname template so it no longer redirects to hndis. One of the "general fixes" for AWB appears to replace {{surname}} with {{hndis}}. How can that fix be disabled for AWB in general? -- JHunterJ 17:23, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
Watchlist problemEven when I have "Add all to watchlist" unchecked in the menu, all of the articles that I edit are still getting added to my watchlist. Is there a toggle somewhere that I've missed? --Elonka 21:06, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
Bolding article name in Image bugThis seems to be a problem in the latest version (3.0.3.0) with this article Starstreak missile, at least. Rich Farmbrough, 12:34 10 September 2006 (GMT). Not enabled to use this?I just tried running AWB for the first time. After having set up my procedure, when I press "Start the process", I keep getting the error message "You are not enabled to use this." It then opens a window to Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage, on which I am clearly listed as a registered/enabled user. Did I set up my procedure wrong? --Ginkgo100 talk · e@ 22:21, 10 September 2006 (UTC) |
