Since upgrading to 3.1.0.0 and using the CFD plugin, AWB has occasionally removed interlanguage links at the same time as categories e.g. [1][2][3][4]. I have general fixes turned off. the wub"?!"13:47, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
probably that's too greedy! like ignore for [[image:...|, which catches also description of the image!
so it could not corrent a mistake in pl:Pamięć_cyfrowa, [[Grafika:Karta dziurkowana.png|thumb|right|200px|Karta dziurkowana używana do wprowadzania programów do komputerów do [[Lata 80-te XX wieku|lat 80-tych XX wieku]] (np. [[Odra (komputer)|Odra]])]] – 2 incorrect strings
Using AWB on other wikis
Does one need to register here, before using AWB on another wiki (for example Dutch wiki) or is it enough to let the admins of that wiki know about the case? --huji—TALK21:27, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I had AWB running just fine yesterday and now I can't even get it to open. Instead I get "AutoWikiBrowser has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" In a IE "Send report" problem box. Should I redownload AWB or something else.
Thanks Jask9906:43, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Redownloaded and now its fine again 21:41, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
3.1.0.0 and Vista
Just wanted to let you all know that AWB 3.1.0.0 works flawlessly, at least for me, in Vista Ultimate. Whereas:
"Occasionally it stalls when loading. This might well be because you have navigated to a different window: AWB needs to remain in the foreground while loading up a new page. Just click "start" again to give it a nudge."
This doesn't seem to be an issue anymore, whereas I was experiencing it quite often with XP SP2. In case it matters at all, installed framework versions include 1.0.3705, 1.1.4322, 2.0.50727, and 3.0. Hope it helps someone! thadius856talk|airports|neutrality18:17, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Great that it works for you; unfortunately I can't say the same. I have to run it through Visual C# or else it crashes on startup. —Mets501 (talk)18:30, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Wow, strange, it just started working... Vista sure is weird. That's not the first problem that's been fixed simply by not doing anything for a couple of hours. —Mets501 (talk)19:25, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
I think I have now done this. If someone could check, we can get down to obliterating all those incorrect links. HTH HAND —Phil | Talk20:12, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Google search not working?
For some reason, AWB isn't working for me now. I've got the latest version (3.1.0.0), but when I do a google search that normally should produce hundreds of article names, it says "getting list" and then "list complete!" with no results. As a test, I even tried "the", with no results. What's going on? Firsfron of Ronchester21:03, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
As far as I know, AWB will support such languages to the extent that IE will, although quite how the edit-box will behave is beyond me. Maybe you could try and let us know? TIA HAND —Phil | Talk09:16, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
I think for IE you are right. But the text box would experience a problem. There is an option for RightToLeft - "Indicates whether the component should draw right to left for RTL languages". Set as No, with options for inherit and Yes. I think AWB would need to include something based on the system locale, and turn it on. Or just have it on that by default...? Reedy Boy10:05, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Duplicated entries in list
The list is failing to remove duplicated entries.
If I click "Make List" to refresh the list when I'm still part-way through, duplicated entries get added and there seems to be no way to persuade AWB to strip them out.
Sorting used to do the trick: what changed?
TIA HAND —Phil | Talk15:58, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Gah! Thanks for that…I've been using the damn thing so long some of these nice features sneak up on me without me noticing. Cheers HAND —Phil | Talk09:14, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Annoying cross-talk between "multiple links" and "search" facilities
If you use the "multiple links" box to find the corresponding entries, when you finish one entry and click on a different entry you get the "no more occurances" message that you would have done had you carried on.
This also happens if you click on the "find" button in similar circumstances.
(Oh, and isn't that supposed to be "occurrences"?)
HTH HAND —Phil | Talk16:02, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
lij-iwiks
AWB (ru-wiki, version 3.0.6.1) is working with of lij-iwiks incorectly. :-(
As a rule of thumb, I tend to always put caps first for alpha characters ([A-Za-z]) just to be safe. [A-Za-z] would not match non-English characters, as they are in an extended section of each font — some have them, others not, and often times the unicode for them is different. As far as the first question goes, I hope I understand you correctly... [^'][^'] would match anything except '', though it is usually easier to write as [^']{2}. thadius856talk|airports|neutrality20:24, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
in second I meant if "CaseSensitive" option should be set when case is included into [a-zA-Z] anyway? in other words, what's the difference between [a-zA-Z] with "CaseSensitive" set and without setting that? --84.234.42.6800:07, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Case-sensitive applies more to non-regex replace criteria. For example, say I want to replace all instances of "US" with United States in an article or series of articles. If I do not select the case-sensitive option, I would change every instance of "us" to United States as well. Make sense now? thadius856talk|airports|neutrality19:14, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Make list from cat and all sub-cats
Is there a way to make a list from a category and all of its sub-categories, and the sub-categories of the sub-catgories, and so on (i.e. propagate all the way down the category tree)? I realize this would create a huge list for a category that is high up the tree, but it would be useful for tagging all articles under a low-level category with a WikiProject banner, for example. - Jwillbur05:15, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Because the category isn't a true hierarchical system (not a tree) there is the possibility of infinite loops, where one category is a sub-category of the other and vice-versa. I'm not too sure whether this would cause a system failure or not, but it would be a major consideration as to whether the feature goes ahead or not. Developers? Harryboyles11:55, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
There is no such function at the moment. What you need to do is to apply systematics and go through the relevant branches of the category tree. Systematics is everything. Copy-paste the name of a category and build a list from its articles, then do the same with the next etc. Remember to save the list before you begin sorting out irrelevant entries. Then right-click the list of articles and select that all duplicate entries be removed. If you plan to tag talk pages for a WikiProject, you should also use the right-click function to remove all "non-article" entries. Finish off by converting everything to talk pages (right-click again). If you plan to do large chuncks of material, create one giant list of articles first and work on it from time to time. Remember to save the list everytime you've worked on it. I tried dividing the material for WP:HV into two lists and when I went through list no. 2, 80%+ of it turned out to be duplicates from the first. Multiple lists cannot be recommended. If a stub type is associated with your wikiproject, remember to check these categories as well. In my experience, 80% of the material will already be covered by any list you've made out of the category tree, but there is always a number of articles without proper categorization.

I know a Imports System isn't needed, not sure about Imports System.Text
The plugin page needs an update aswell... As that has the old XML methods for settings on the VB .NET... But me and steve haven't solved that for his plugin... New example is there in c#... Reedy Boy17:28, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Yay! You're a developer :-). Good timing too, because I'm going away for a week in 2 days, and we need an active developer just in case at all times. —METS501 (talk)20:57, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
When one has completed the last link which is duplicated, that name disappears from the list. Then when you click on the next link on the list, a message appears which reads "No more occurances". In the previous version this message appeared when clicking on the link which was last completed and which subsequently removed from the list. This is preferable because it confirms that no more duplicates exist. As it stands now, it seems that the program isn't finding any duplicates of the next name on the list, but if that is clicked again the first occurance of that link is highlighted.
To expand on this. The bug is the AWB will search too the last occurance of a word so if i have 3 multilinks in the list Apple , Car and Boat and I hit apple first it will find the first apple link but if I hit car or boat next it will jump to the next occurance of apple and will continue to do so until its shown me every apple link . I hope i've made that clear (Gnevin01:28, 26 January 2007 (UTC))
After finishing the complete list an error message occurs which reads: "Unhandled exception has occurred in your appliation. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error ..." etc. This error was not noticed in the previous version.
While on the subject of this Multiple links function a couple of enhancement seem to me:
Allow a user to remove a link from the alerts list if one chooses to leave duplicates (like when a link appears in an info box and somewhere else in the article). It is inconvenient to have a number of links which have already been reviewed when working with a long list.
Have the program propose a replacement for the link (ie. the text highlighted, but without the link brackets.) Permit the user to accept this proposal, or modify it, but have it stick until the occurances of that link have been reviewed. --JAXHERE | Talk17:01, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
I remember asking once about the possibility to be able to copy highlighted/selected text from the preview pane, but I believe that something was precluding that at the time. Is this what you are asking for? --After Midnight000100:38, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Inside the edit area. I did a series of template conversion, and not having that possibility was a real annoyance. Especially when you expect it.Circeus02:57, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
I think they mean in the manual edit space take for example this edit [5] where drag and drop would of been useful but not 100% required . Ie it would handy handy to drag {{Hurling Championships}} instead of cutting and pasting (Gnevin12:30, 7 February 2007 (UTC))
Neither. Drag and drop isn't implemented. It's as simple as that. The edit window uses class System.Windows.Forms.TextBox from the the .Net Framework Class Library provided by Microsoft. If you want to have drag and drop implemented, specific reactions to some "events" (like DragEnter, DragDrop, DragLeave, etc) must be handled. Currently they aren't. --Ligulem19:24, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
With the preview pane a lot of functionality's disabled to stop people making mistakes. It would be nice to be able to cut and paste from it though. RichFarmbrough, 16:11 12 February2007 (GMT).
Hmm, i reckon, it shouldnt be difficult to add a context menu to all you to copy from it... Depends if highlighting/selecting text is disabled somewhere... Will have a look Reedy Boy21:53, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
YDone
Added Context Menu to the webBrowser Control, with just 'copy'. Allows you to copy text from the control now. Just need to sort out shortcut key.
Not sure if it's because of the new version or something else, but Google search on AWB hasn't been working (as in it gets 0 results) since I got the new version. Any ideas? Thank you! --Galaxiaad04:40, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
This was fixed in a new version a week ago, but they haven't uploaded the new version. I tried to contact the guy who is in charge of that, but got no response. :( Firsfron of Ronchester04:43, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
I just started with AWB the other day, so please forgive me if this question is too obvious. Is there a way to search the source of many articles for text that would not appear in a Wiki or Google search (for example, to correct spacing of <ref> tags)? -- BlastOButter42SeeHearSpeak09:48, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
To clarify a little, I mean is there a way to make a list of articles with a certain phrase in their source. -- BlastOButter42SeeHearSpeak10:29, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
I want to use AWB to replace [[Category:Internet domains]] with [[Category:Internet domains|Page name without dot]] in the catalan wikipedia. With AWB i can do it? Thanks, ca:User:Albertsab. Sorry, i have a very little level of english
just enter into find and replace: FIND:[[Category:Internet domains]] REPLACE:[[Category:Internet domains|Page name without dot]], all options=empty, it just replaces the string
I started using AWB 2 days ago and am loving it, but there are several things I haven't been able to figure out.
1. Is there a way to search throughout all the archives of this talk page to see if my questions have already been answered?
I am searching for pages that contain the misspelling "saxaphone".
2. Is there a page somewhere that gives detailed help information and/or explanations of the use of the advanced search and replace functions? I'm looking for a definition of "subrule" an an explanation of the "if" tab.
3. In the Advanced Search and Replace ("Replace Special" window), what do the terms Multiline and Singleline mean? I checked m:MWiki-Browser - it refers to those terms, but does not explain them.
How to add [[ and ]] to a word but only when it's not there already
5. When I find "saxaphone" I want to change it to "[[saxophone]]". I tried doing this, but the problem is that some cases of "saxaphone" were already surrounded by double-brackets, so the result is [[[[saxophone]]]]. (In plain English, what I want to do is: replace "saxaphone" with "[[saxophone]]", unless "saxaphone" already has brackets around it, in which case replace it with "saxophone".)
I thought I could solve this by searching for [[saxaphone]] and replacing it with [[saxophone]] , but when I tried that as a Find string in Advanced Find and Replace, it was a disaster (finding every ocurrence of dobule-bracket in the article!) Is the slash ( / ) character the answer? If so, do I need to search for /[/[ ? Or do I need to set up a Subrule?
simply search for [[saxaphone]] and replace with saxaphone then search for saxaphone and replace with [[saxaphone]] ,this can be done in one go as the find and replace is done in order (Gnevin14:47, 2 February 2007 (UTC))
Perhaps this has already been fixed, but you could regex this to make it easier. [^\[]saxophone[^\]] would match any instance that doesn't have brackets before and after it. It wouldn't be thrown off by punctuation or spaces, and any bracketed instances would be skipped. thadius856talk|airports|neutrality20:17, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Here's a different approach which might work (I haven't rried it in this case but in a similar situation).
do a replace of "saxaphone" → "[[saxophone]]"
do another replace of "[[[[" → "[[""
and another of "]]]]" → "]]"
What you're effectively doing is allowing the 4 brackets to be put in then running a separate replace to remove them if they do happen to get put in. JAXHERE | Talk15:00, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Alternatively search for ([^[])(Saxahpone) and replace with $1[[Saxophone]]. But there should not be lots of links to the same article close together. RichFarmbrough, 16:05 12 February2007 (GMT).
AWB hangs on XP shutdown
I am generally someone who doesn't close all my programs before i turn off my pc .I just go to shut down and let windows close them ,now AWB always hangs when i do this and it doesn't even do like other programs and automatically end process after 10 seconds it just stops the entire shut down process till I click end now.
now whole paragraph is highlighted in preview if a small change is done there, FireFox has a nice mechanism to highlight founded text, maybe it could be applied in AWB to highlight changes that are done, to be better visible --84.234.42.6813:23, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
i request for a regex to change first small letter into [[image: 14:25, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, I can't really understand your first comment and the "=(a|b|c|...)" part of your second comment. Can you clarify? —METS501 (talk)03:20, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
I think he means that when showing a diff when it's ready to save, AWB highlights the entire paragraph of the diff, and it would be better if it highlighted only the change (in the manner that FireFox does when searching a page). However, it also highlights the exact change in red, so I don't see the problem. And I have no idea what his 2nd comment means. -- BlastOButter42SeeHearSpeak10:06, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
when I do a small change it's a problem to find this red text when WHOLE paragraph is highlighted, as you know FireFox highlights only the background of the searched text so it's clear and i dont need to get my eyes close to the screen, "=(a|b|c|...)" - I want to change =blabla= to =Blabla=, =history of USA= to =History of USA= etc., I masked first small letter in the section name, now you understand? --84.234.42.6820:59, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
a little suggestion, maybe an ignoring option (in "find and replace") should ignore \[\[:?image, not only \[\[image ? and I insist to not ignore the description of the image --84.234.42.6820:59, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Interesting construction
A user complained that his clever construction which ([[construction ]]which ) works like that, is broken by AWB. Should AWB allow for it, or is it "too clever", so that it will be broken by other editors and should be changed to pipe syntax? RichFarmbrough, 16:15 12 February2007 (GMT).
I'm using AWB to remove some category from it.wiki. I used the command "Remove Category:" of the "More..." menu.
When there is no blank line between the category and the first interwiki, AWB remove the first interwiki too.--Moroboshi23:15, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Opsss. moved the discussion in the bugs subpage. I added an example - apparently I was wrong and the cause is not tre presence/absence of a blank line.--Moroboshi12:03, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Partial Version
I know that some people would like to have that kind of a tool. All features would not be needed and features could be taken out. Only people with strongly positive edits would be allowed to use. I don't know. It's just a thought but I don't really have that much time on my hands so I would like something like it. Redskunk04:35, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
I know there are some people that want to help wikipedia but are discouraged by the lack of software to help them. I thought if you developed a kind of "lite" version that gave a few features, but lacked the power of repetitive edits of AWB. Redskunk04:30, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Need to make edits/changes and save them back to the XML SQL dump file.
I cant find who posted this :/. Are you meaning, in the same way the Database Scanner loads from the XML file, you want to be able to commit changes back to it? Reedy Boy13:10, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
AWB on my wiki
I want to setup AWB to work on my wiki, i select custom then enter the url en.(mywiki).org/w/ but it won't work.--RyanB8807:43, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Cool, Cheers for Fixing it. On the latest SVN commit, when i try to load pages/categories, i get an error of 'The 'img' start tag on line 30 does not match the end tag of 'a'. Line 30, position 60 - Is this something on the wiki? Reedy Boy12:14, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
It is a problem with their wiki. You should write to them about that to remind them that in XHTML, all <img> tags must either end with a </img> tag directly following or the <img> tag must have a forward slash at the end (<img src="..." />). —METS501 (talk)14:44, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Another problem on a different wiki.

You are not logged in;
}
I am showed as logged in at the top of the window, i can browse using the awb web browser bit, just no chance of making any edits
The 2 wiki's i was looking at editing are: ProCooling Wiki and the Hak.5 Wiki - Both had the login loop
To save you having to sign up, if you do any SVN commits for this, give me a shout on here or my talk, and i'll download and try it - Thanks =) Reedy Boy12:14, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Well, I signed up to see anyway, and it looks like that there's no reliable way to get the login status for those two wikis. Both of them don't pass the wgUserName variable, so there's no way of checking whether a user is logged in. Have any other suggestions? —METS501 (talk)14:45, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Unless theres a way to get round the AWB login on each of them? Ie, if it is a custom wiki, therefore not following the AWB userlist, there is an option to override the logged in status...? So, it would still be loggedin, and the edits would be attributed to you...? Reedy Boy15:43, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
I could, but I think that might have too much potential for abuse. It would allow people with dynamic IP's to edit forever without being blocked. If you have a specific Wiki in mind, I can email you a new version of Variables.cs that you could compile with the rest of the code so that you could use AWB there without having to log in. —METS501 (talk)15:47, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Well, at the moment, it is just those 2 wiki's... If you wouldnt mind, that'd be good =) My Email is authentisicated with Wikipedia, so you should be ok to use that! Reedy Boy16:13, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
I just checked my spam box on my isp's mail server. The other, and todays had been marked as spam. Lol - Thankyou!! See how it goes! Reedy Boy21:00, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Just noticed an annoying bug on the custom wiki link text box. If the user doesnt put a / on the end, it doesnt like it. Could you add to the regex for that bit, so that if there isnt the / on the end, it adds it to try it? Reedy Boy20:49, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
YDone We really need another version, but MaxSem's not around. I need to become an admin, not just a developer, so I can release a new version. —METS501 (talk)21:01, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
2 More requests if you would be so kind Mets.
Change the text box for custom wiki to say a combo? And then have it save the multiple links on save settings - i noticed it will save 1, but multiple would be good, then load these for selection with AWB.
If there isnt a typo page on the custom wiki on Regextypofix enabling, offer to load from en.wiki? =)
Oh, just noticed another problem. When regextypofix is enabled and saved as default settings, on loading, the link is like http://www.hak5.org/wiki//wiki/Hak5:AutoWikiBrowser/Typos .... Some duplication i think? But it does correct typo's
I will add ar.wiki to the dropdown list and enable that checkpage, I just need a few things:
A list of all namespaces.
A string to use in place of "using AWB" (i.e. a string that will be appended to edit summaries and that contains a link to AWB.
You may have some problems with the right-to-left stuff, but you can let me know how it goes and I'll do my best to fix it. —METS501 (talk)02:14, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

It worked but the problem that I logged in with a user that is not on the check page and it was editing can you please see what's the problem and I forgot to give you the Special name space It's:
I'm sorry to disturb you but three namespaces are wrong and that's is:

Hi I was told that I needed to update to a new version last night. Having downloaded the new version I cant login. Can anyone help please? Pit-yacker16:48, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Suggest you log in using I.E. and "remember me", then fire up AWB. (Also use your task manager to check AWB has actually closed down first.) RichFarmbrough, 16:58 16 February2007 (GMT).
Have cleared IE's cache, rebooted and then logged back into Wikipedia (with remember me) in IE. However, when I try to log in to AWB I just repeatedly get the following error message:
"You are not logged in. The logon Screen will now load, enter your name and password, click "Log In", wait for it to complete, then start the process again.
In future you can make sure this won't happen by logging into Wikipedia using Microsoft Internet Explorer
Yes. Trying a bit further AWB doesnt seem able to see my Internet connection at all. When I attempt to make a list it says The remote name en.wikipedia.org could not be resolved? However, I am connected to the net (I'm writing this). Any suggestions to what might be wrong? Pit-yacker21:12, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
No problem. It's actually good that you reported it; now if anyone else has that same problem I'll know another possibility :-) —METS501 (talk)22:42, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Find and Replace question
Hi. I don't know exactly how to explain my question in general terms, so I'll just say what I want to do: I'm trying to clean up usage of the <ref> element, for example when the ref is inside a sentence instead of outside the period, like this[1]. To do that, I have to find any instance of "<ref name="####">########</ref>." and replace it with ".<ref name="####">########</ref>" while ignoring everything that I just represented above by a number sign. How do I do that? -- BlastOButter42SeeHearSpeak22:58, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Coincidentally enough, that's enabled by default in the general fixes of the most recent version. Try downloading 3.1.1.1 with general fixes on, and you should see it in action. —METS501 (talk)23:17, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Not sure, maybe just a glitch... Just quickly running AWB through the category that was removed, and its not wanting to remove them on any other article....
You are supposed to check edits before you commit them....
If I wanted to use AutoWikiBrowser to go through a category of 9,000 user talks in , and use it to find and replace the cat with [[Category:WelcomeBotResearch|{{subst:BASEPAGENAME}}]], how would I set it to automatically submit, and would I need bot approval for a one time thing? --TeckWizParlateContribs@01:35, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
And then, your bot must be in the bot section in the awb checklist. Alphachimp tends to do most of the approvals, and if its a bot, he waits forthe Bot approval group to approve, and he'll add it to the bot section for you =) Reedy Boy09:48, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
[[Category:And =(a|b|c|...) to big letter, if this is possible --84.234.42.68
