- I dont get an exception - It redirects fine. The error looking at the ListView.CompareFunc, is related to the logging list views. Almost like its trying to put an incorrect log into on the wrong list view.. —Reedy Boy 11:28, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
- Found the error. When you have it to sort by "Skipped By" or "Skipped Reason", and there are blank things (which is the actual bug - they should be filled out), it cant compare "", so therefore causes an exception —Reedy Boy 16:03, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Reference-class to reflist error, part II
| Status | Not a bug in AWB, has been referred
|
|---|---|
| Description | This bug was allegedly fixed at Wikipedia talk:AutoWikiBrowser/Bugs/Archive 4#Incorrect reflist fixing, but apparently not (or it's since been undone). Basically, for "mixed" reference sections that include both cite.php references and hand-written references, the old <references/> style is still needed. That way, there can be a div references-small, the cite.php references, the manual references, and then a closing of the references-small style div tag. AWB is incorrectly replacing the opening style div + a references tag with {{reflist}}, causing the manual references to not have the smaller references-small style and leaving a hanging /div at the end; see this edit for an example. A fix would either be to not attempt to use reflist if the div / references / close div tags are not immediately adjacent, or, if you must replace with reflist for some reason, to swap the locations - that is, change <div style="references-small"> <references/> to {{reflist}} <div style="references-small">.

- I do not think this is a AWB problem, but it maybe a AWB user. If you can show more occurrences of this, then the AWB team should look in to this.--pete 21:47, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
- And also, 4.2.0.0/4.2.0.1 werent released till the 25th - 5 days AFTER that edit.. So that would've been on the old version. The user, however, shouldnt have just being making those edits... —Reedy Boy 22:09, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
- Well, that's easily checked. I just restored the Devil article to the version with old-style references; does AWB's suggestions still include replacing the div & references with a reflist? SnowFire (talk) 22:36, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
- I think in this article references and notes should be separated. Apart from that all these kind of problems can be skipped if under reflist the user adds references with the references-small class. -- Magioladitis (talk) 22:57, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

(de-indent) re:Magioladitis: Uh, I have to say I disagree with your edits there. First, regardless of preferred style, AWB (seems) to be breaking the editor's intent here and leaving hanging div tags, making invalid markup, so that's bad and needs to be fixed no matter what.
Second, I think you misunderstand what's going on in that article; if anything, the section you have entitled "References" should be "Footnotes" and your "Notes" called "References." The manually written entries are further-reading general reference material, while the material generated from the Reflist are direct footnotes. This is a style established in many featured articles; see (picking at random...) Rhodes blood libel, for instance. It still doesn't really apply even if the names were swapped to the normal style, though, because there's no good distinction here. They're all references for the article, and the notes are not necessarily from the actual books cited, so there's not much point in separating them. (I suppose I could see renaming the non-inline references "Further Reading" at most, but only because I suspect they were added as that, not as genuine references for the article.)
Third, as for the "what about this?" change where Reflist is used but the div location is swapped... that is acceptable, and that's actually one of the solutions I proposed above. The only thing about swapping the locations is that it's a bit inefficient - if you view the source for Reflist, you'll see that it opens a div with references-small then closes it. Then, in your version, it opens another div with references-small, then closes that one too. It's the rough equivalent of Not bold, '''This is bold,''' '''and this is bold too''' vs. Not bold, '''This is bold, and this is bold too'''. The first is an acceptable alternative and not really a problem, but it's a bit inefficient since it needlessly stops and starts the formatting.
Anyway, did you use AWB, Magioladitis? The point of bringing up the Devil article as an example was to ensure the latest versions suggest that kind of replacement and it isn't a bug only with the older ones (though I suppose someone wanting to test could revert then see what AWB says). I'd also be curious if someone with AWB can see what is suggested for G. William Miller, which has a non-inline reference above the references rather than below it. SnowFire (talk) 00:03, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- I agree that the fact that AWB ignored that the div section isn't closed and replaced the rest it's a problem/bug and has to be fixed. Moreover, I apologise for naming the sections incorrectly in the Devil article. -- Magioladitis (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 00:22, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Looks like you can close this one; guess it was a coincidence. Odd. SnowFire (talk) 18:35, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- I showed Snowfire that AWB was not the problem and they agreed stating "Yup, looks like it's a false alarm. Thanks a lot for investigating the matter; this is the third time I've seen it happen, but I guess it was just a coincidence here. Thanks". I ran the Devil through the latest AWB and AWB came up with no suggestions for changes. This is not a bug and can be closed. --pete 18:51, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

- The breaking of the nested wikilinks is related to
Regex imgregex = new Regex(@"\[\[\s*?" + Variables.NamespacesCaseInsensitive[6] + @"\s*([^\|\]]*?)(\|.*?)*?\]\]");
- The old version
Regex imgregex = new Regex(@"\[\[\s*?" + Variables.NamespacesCaseInsensitive[6] + @"\s*([^\|]*?)(\|.*)?\]\]");
Was fine with this, however, it caused Wikipedia_talk:AutoWikiBrowser/Bugs/Archive_6#URL_underscore_regression... Regression from fixing the bug in another case... Its causing all the above problems... Any suggestions again Rich? —Reedy Boy 20:15, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
- Note that it doesn't just break nested wikilinks, it also loses all but the last piece of image formatting. In most cases it retains the caption, but if there is no caption or if the image formatting is in a different order, it could retain the image size or its designation as a thumbnail or... whatever came last, and remove everything in the middle.

Need help sorting this one out please. FMAFan1990 (talk) 01:14, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Please try downloading the newest version manually from [5]
The cause of the bug, it would seem, is you havent completed the updater updates that i released, to prevent this happening.
There was a change in the Diff Library used between 4.1 and 4.2, and a different file name, and your AWB is complaining as it cannot find the dll. The older updater would not cater for this file, and therefore not copy it from the newer archive.
This therefore causes your bug
Cheers

- So what is it choking on in the error above? Maybe I'm not understanding what the issue is. --Kbdank71 21:24, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
- That loads the interwiki page. Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/IW - It then parses the data into an array. A null reference means the array points to a new instance of an array, with nothing in it. Null is essentially blank. So if its blank, its not entered anything into the array. Presumably because it wasnt able to load the page... —Reedy Boy 23:24, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Same AWB version, same O.S. version used by Kbdank71 (The old version - 4124 - used to work fine, then it stopped working because "it is not enabled" and forced me to download the new one). If I clic "Continue working", then the application crashes when I try to save my preferences (same error). --KingFanel (talk) 10:32, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Moving spaces in links
| Status | Fixed in the next release

|---|---|
| Description | Moving spaces in links which are italics. #''[[word ]]'' word# goes to #''[[word]] '' word#; there are two characters before and after the link there. Not sure about "[[word]]" or '[[word]]' which has one character before and after the link. Perhaps it should take account of what is after the link and detect a space and a word, or at least one space. It should be aware of the method of emphasis (italics or various quote marks) around the link, and the white spaces (including line breaks) before and after these. Also, I think that a space after a pipe in a category has a special meaning and should not be removed. Snowman (talk) 23:16, 25 February 2008 (UTC) |

Ref Tags moved after punctuation
| Status | Fixed in the next release

| Description | AWB moves <ref > tags after punctuation marks. While the citation guidelines state they are normally placed immediately after the punctuation, it also says they may be placed before punctuation depending on editorial choice. The WP MoS allows more than one style, just as long as the chosen style is consistent within the article. AWB should either leave this alone or provide a selector for "before" or "after" styles Ephebi (talk) 08:49, 6 February 2008 (UTC) |

additionally, the puctuaction order that AWB provide is not correct on .pl --84.234.42.68 (talk) 10:25, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
I don't feel that this is a bug (at least not on en.wikipedia). Aside from the fact that AWB is doing what it's supposed to be doing (there are very few cases where there would be a reason to place ref tags before punctuation), this seems more like a feature request to make this specific type of correction optional. Black Falcon (Talk) 20:24, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
If you read the citation guidelines mentioned above you will see that WP says it can wrong to relocate refs in many articles. I've seen good faith but contrary impositions of the US CMS 'dialect' on British English articles which have led to revert wars with some editors. It's not AWB's job to unilaterally impose its own arbitrary style rules. The so-called Nature style is much better and more traditional English, as it keeps the tag within the appropriate part of the sentence. IIRC the CMS style was only invented about 10-20 years ago and doesn't feature in my US grammar books which were written c. 1990. Ephebi (talk) 10:08, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Problem with updating
I have 4.2.0.1 on Vista, and tried to upgrade automatically. When opening AWB, I get two update messages -- one asking to update the updater, and one asking to download the new version. I have tried every combination of these options, and all failed. The farthest I've got is the updater unzipping downloaded files, at which point I get the ever helpful "something has gone wrong, please try again" message. Other times, the updater stops responding and has to be terminated. I've since downloaded 4.3.0.0 manually, but I don't understand why the updater shouldn't just work. Ral315 (talk) 07:02, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
- My ever help "something has gone wrong, please try again" ;), has now been replaced with a proper error handler, due to the fact it was pants, like you say. It means some issue with the unzipping. I've put out these updater upgrades, to try and prevent people having problems with future updates... Did you update your updater before? If you have manually updated, and therefore updated the updater, just give us a shout with any errors you get in the next version... —Reedy Boy 10:03, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

- Something that normalises to a Latin or non-printable char should not be touched.
- If the anchor string already contains a char which is normally anchor-encoded by MW, we shoudn't change it.
- If the encoded sequence is preceded by a number, but not a valid encoded sequence, it shouldn't be changed.

Looks like there has been some MW changes... —Reedy Boy 14:54, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, I got caught by this too. Major PITA and makes the "category" functionality in AWB all but useless. If AWB continues to work through the API, then you'll need to implement query continuations (though I've yet to get these working when I do queries by hand) - David Gerard (talk) 15:12, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- It does do query continuation, knows where to continue from etc - Its just for some reason, the MW API now wants an extra, seemingly duplicate parameter... —Reedy Boy 15:47, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi All, I have several wikis working, and this first appeared on the oldest of them all. I wiped out the whole Mediawiki core, and re-installed (unzipped) it again. The failure remained. I wasn't too bothered, until my must critical wiki had the same problem. I decided to go for AWB source code (hence 4.3.1.1), as I always managed to have a workaround, but now I'm stuck. All wikis are:
| Product | Version |
|---|---|
| MediaWiki | 1.12.0 |
| PHP | 5.1.6 (apache2handler) |
| MySQL | 5.0.22 |
Where is it reading the XML from, and what file could it be? I really love AWB, but this bug is driving me mad!... sorry for all the unnecessary rants! --Cartoro (talk) 10:49, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- Some light into this. In file:
c:\AWB\WikiFunctions\SiteInfo.cs
- the following line
string output = Tools.GetHTML(m_ScriptPath + "api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=general|namespaces|statistics&format=xml");
- Returns an XML with "\n" at the beginning of the string. --Cartoro (talk) 11:55, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

It turned out to be a problem with the query to the api.php. On file:

with:
154 string url = Variables.URLLong + "api.php?action=query&list=categorymembers&cmcategory=" + cmtitle + "&format=xml&cmlimit=500";
api.php is not happy when title and category are used in conjunction. --Cartoro (talk) 14:26, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

BD-SORT

It's funny because until this replacement AWB does is not happening all the time but sometimes, (for example check that in this case the replacement i requested occurred), moreover it doesn't create a DEFAULSORT as it should. If you really want to replace BD-SORT you have to create a birth category, a death category and defaultsort.

Call me crazy but I suspect it has something to do with the header capitalization. It seems this bug is triggered only after a head capitalization. Check here as well. Moreover, I would like to inform you that BDSORT doesn't exist anymore, BD-SORT is now empty and BIRTH-DEATH-SORT will be soon empty as well. -- Magioladitis (talk) 10:57, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- The same bug occurs with BIRTH-DEATH-SORT as well. The only active templates in this category is Lifetime and BD (redirect of Lifetime). I replaced all the others with Lifetime. I think, it's better to completely remove the replacement completely.
- Check this. It's very interesting! Some bullets appeared as well. -- Magioladitis (talk) 22:34, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- Btw, can an administrator unprotect and delete BD-SORT? It's empty and completely unnecessary redirect. Thanks -- Magioladitis (talk) 23:11, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

As a result, the interwikis will have bad order, like there. Furthermore, there are more wikis, which have different iw-order. Can you implement this fix in the program? An other question: cs is before cy in the alphabet order, but the order would be diffenet in the other sorting (but currently not). What's with it? Thanks in advance in the name of the Hungarian AWB users :) Dani 22:09, 26 April 2008 (UTC) |

Typos loaded isn't the latest list
| Status | Fixed in the next release

| Description | Since yesterday evening I'm having a weird issue with the RETF typo list - when I refresh status / typos in AWB, the list of typos loaded is not the latest version. I'm getting 3587 typos loaded, and have been getting this since yesterday evening. AWB seems to be stuck loading revision [29]. So, for example my new 'discography' fix doesn't work and the typo count has not reduced even though I merged a few in later edits to the list. I've tried this on my PC and my family PC at home (different internet connection) using the latest SVN and the latest released version respectively. Am I missing something obvious or have I gone mad? What count of typos can others currently load? Thanks Rjwilmsi (talk) 08:53, 4 May 2008 (UTC) |

Incorrect skip reason for no find & replace
| Status | Fixed in the next release
|
|---|---|
| Description | Situation: you have some find & replaces set up and enabled, skip if no find & replace enabled, regex typo fix enabled.
Bug: If AWB processes an article with a typo, but nothing matching your find & replaces, it skips as there was no find and replace (correct) with the skip reason "no change" (bug). The skip reason is misleading, as there was in fact a change to the article, but not of the type you required. Also, the mouse over for the article in the skipped log tag does not show that the typo has been applied. Therefore, in effect AWB hides the fact that there was a typo in the page, as the user (me!) can't differentiate between absolutely no changes and the situation here. I would expect that the mouse over would be populated with the typo (+ gen fixes?) applied and a skip reason of "no find & replace" given. Looking at main.cs and article.cs it seems that this occurs because the skip on no f&r doesn't use SkipPage("blah"). I hope that makes sense. Thanks Rjwilmsi (talk) 19:45, 6 May 2008 (UTC) |

Thats to blame, due to the code order. I think just moving the bottom else if to the top should solve it. Moment. —Reedy 20:15, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- Yup - rev 2401. Not bad logic, just wrongly ordered! Cheers, —Reedy 20:19, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- Great, thanks for that. I've slightly modified my SVN copy so that AWB in fact skips for 'no change' ahead of 'no f & replace', which is how I prefer it. Rjwilmsi (talk) 21:17, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- I've tweaked it a bit code wise in rev 2402 to reduce some duplicated checks... Mind posting the code you've got for that now? —Reedy 21:36, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- (this works for me but might be a bit of a hack) I commented out all the if (theArticle.SkipArticle) return; in ProcessPage(); so that all article fixing is done (if I've checked the option for it) and then after the call to ProcessPage() I changed the order of the if statement so that the no change is tested before the TheArticle.SkipArticle. This means now that AWB skips as "no change" if all processing has been done and there really was no change regardless of skip flags, then it will skip based on the skip flags if there were some changes but not the flagged ones. Also, for example, it always does typo fixing and f&r (if checked) so that I can differentiate between 1 really no change, 2 typo but no f&r and 3 f&r plus possible typo. I hope that makes sense. I don't expect you to do anything further on this as I'm not sure that the way I want AWB is the way others would want it, and I know what to do for my own purposes. Post questions if I haven't made sense and I'll reply tomorrow. Thanks Rjwilmsi (talk) 22:19, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

AWB reverting order of stubs and cats
As this edit shows, AWB still puts categories above stubs in the source code despite the fact they are rendered as stubs above cats. What is the point of cluttering peoples watch list with such nonsense? I remember having previously protested against this annoying "feature". See also how the AWB user reacted to my message on his talk. -- Matthead Discuß 19:42, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Not done: WP:STUB#Categorizing stubs says: By convention this is placed at the end of the article, after the External links section, any navigation templates, and the category tags, so that the stub category will appear last. I'll add this to FAQ. MaxSem(Han shot first!) 13:33, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing me there. According to talk, the consensus is not clear, and the concept of Stubs itself is questioned. German Wiki discontinued them, and it is suggested that the stub categories are hidden. Anyway, I expected that the rendered result and its source code has the same order. Putting the stub templates below the cats has no visible effect on the position of the message "This article is a stub", it just re-shuffles the order of the categories which is mostly arbitrary anyway. The policies are very inconsistent here, as are preferences of users. I consider the relocation edits by AWB a nuisance, pointless edits are added to my watch list, and the order or the article source is messed up. I suggest that developers and users of AWB regard this re-ordering as the lowest priority, and focus on others things instead. -- Matthead Discuß 14:33, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
[33] probably should not have been made; were it not for the category order it would be a completely useless edit. --NE2 16:26, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

- Do you actually mean in the plugin config window thingy? (Side note for me, wonder if CFD does the same...) —Reedy 15:38, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- Can you provide more information please?
* [[:Image:Test.jpg]] to [[:Image:Test.jpg]]
* [[:Image:Test.jpg]]
- The above works fine in the GUI. Or is it during processing? —Reedy 11:05, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- Two things: could you update your AWB to 4.3.2.0 and replace your CFD.dll with the new one from Pligins folder? MaxSem(Han shot first!) 16:17, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
- Upgraded and replaced my dll . The duplicate error doesnt show but now IFD isn't generate a list of pages anymore , strange Gnevin (talk) 16:51, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

- This will only skip if whitespace has been added/removed - Not if things have been moved about... —Reedy 20:02, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
- Fixed, logic seemed a little askew. Also improved the code a bit - rev 2486 —Reedy 11:55, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Very large lists, can't pull the scrollbar down to the bottom
| Status | Not enough information/very rare bug |
|---|---|
| Description | With a very large list (over 100,000 articles) it doesn't seem possible to hold down the listmaker scrollbar and scroll to the bottom. Every time it's moved to the bottom the list expands and instead of being at Z I jump back to say E. I can supply a zipped large list and more details if needed (and if I don't fix this myself in the meantime). kingboyk (talk) 20:53, 15 January 2008 (UTC) |

accents removed in defaultsort tags
| Status | Not a bug/currently unresolvable

| Description | AWB general fixes remove accents from letters in the defaultsort tag. There doesn't seem to be any reason for this, so should AWB be doing this? Example. Thanks Rjwilmsi (talk) 22:22, 28 May 2008 (UTC) |

It a workaround for MediaWiki ASCIIbetical sorting, so "é" does not come after "z". — Dispenser 04:14, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

It's just a trivial bug, but looks odd to see a duplication. OhanaUnitedTalk page 01:33, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
public enum ProjectEnum { wikipedia, wiktionary, wikisource, wikiquote, wikiversity, wikibooks, wikinews, commons, meta, species, lastWMF = species, wikia, custom }
- Its from the "lastWMF = species".. Not sure why thats exactly there... I've altered it, and also pointed us to a couple of broken lines in the listMaker post our overhaul. rev 2556. Max, is there any particular reason it was done likes this...? —Reedy 08:38, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the fix. OhanaUnitedTalk page 16:44, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
