;why are subrules no longer subordinate?

I noticed this a couple weeks ago and forgot to bring it up: why are regex subrules (advanced settings window) no longer called upon only when the main rule operates? Am I missing the point? This used to be quite straightforward. — kwami (talk) 11:10, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

If I have 'ignore templates' checked in find&replace, AWB ignores all lines indented with a colon. Is this intentional?

For example, at Akatek language, if I search for IPA symbols, AWB won't pick them up in the examples (as in the line Examples: pom [pom] copal, xopan [ʃopan] hollow, sip [sipʰ] tick) unless I have that template/ref/link box unchecked. — kwami (talk) 05:17, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

:Yes, intentional, it's in the F&R manual. Rjwilmsi 11:51, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

\s includes \n. Is this intentional?

For instance, here[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Robert_Mugabe&diff=prev&oldid=433315782] i had a regex rule \s-\s → [space]–[space] (that is, change a spaced/tabbed hyphen to an en dash), and it deleted the line break in those tables where lines ended in a space-hyphen. I fixed (for the version I saved) by using (\s)-(\s) → $1–$2 instead. That's fine, but I would never expect a line return to count as white space. — kwami (talk) 02:10, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

:This is the C# regex engine's behaviour. Use something like ( |\t) if you only want spaces or tabs. Rjwilmsi 07:17, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Not bug exactly. If the field it's empty it means "Skip if page contains something". -- Magioladitis (talk) 10:32, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

:Hmm. That sounds like the machine is using different logic to the human. Lightmouse (talk) 11:09, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

::Dunno. It make sense to me. Check "Contains" means that you want to skip if the given string exists in the page. Empty string means find empty string and if exists skip page. Empty string is always there. -- Magioladitis (talk) 11:35, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Here's why I find it difficult: if I want to skip pages containing 'foobar', I write 'foobar'. If I no longer want to it to skip page with 'foobar' I delete 'foobar' from the field. I see what you're saying but the function 'skip all' and the implementation is difficult for me to understand. To me, deleting the skip string should stop it skipping.

At Wikisource, I am undertaking some simple match and replace and while %%pagename%% and %%basepagename%% work for the bulk of the replacements, there is a quirk in the match process.

I have the page s:United States v. Moore (53 U.S. 209)/Opinion of the Court where I am looking to replace

title = United States v. Moore (53 U.S. 209)

with

title = ../

script that I am using is

(title\s*\=\s*)%%pagename%% → $1../

with regex turned on. I now it isn't the neatest regex, however for the task at hand it is adequate and caters for the alternatives in formatting within templates. Anyway, that replacement fails. Yet, in the same regex, if I have s:United States v. Morehead/Opinion of the Court the replacement worked fine. If I try with basepagename it similarly fails and works in the examples given.

Some people use ⟨--⟩ for an en dash and ⟨---⟩ for an em dash. Others perhaps simply don't know the difference. I've come across dozens of articles with em dashes in page ranges, and always assumed it was the editor, but perhaps some were AWB fixes. Perhaps AWB should not fix double hyphens when they occur between digits?

I always thought it would be nice if AWB gave a choice in the case of ambiguous problems like this, though I suppose that's too radical to implement. — kwami (talk) 20:45, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

:If "--" is between numbers, it's certainly an en dash. This is common because people rework their bibTeX entries into wiki cites; bibTeX uses the TeX markup in which "--" is en dash (and "---" is em dash; it's TeX, not "some people"). In other contexts, "--" is often the typewriter convention for em dash. But since it's ambiguous, it should never be changed to em dash without the editor's review and approval. A choice is needed.

There should be no net change, but "|name=" (and also "| name =") is replaced with "|$18801=" (or "|$18801 =").
It doesn't matter if there are spaces or not, and the second string operates properly. Only the first takes "$1" literally rather than as a string.

Odd: If I remove the $1 in Rule 1, → |$18801$2=, it works fine apart from snagging on spaces after the pipe. However, one article is different: Volta–Niger languages produces the same '$1' even when I modify Rule 1. But I've run through all 1000+ transclusions, and it's *only* that article that's still a problem. I don't see anything different about it.

| workaround = Not that I can see. Capturing the pipe as part of the string, or using ( ?) rather than (\s*) for a single space does not affect the output. What I want to do is find any X *not* in the set (A|B|C) (that is, [^abc], where abc are each arbitrary strings), so that I can purge the template of unsupported parameters (or correct their spelling), but I can't think of a way to do that directly. So I'm converting the set (A|B|C) to digits, looking for any letters which are left over, then converting the digits back to (A|B|C). (Extremely inelegant, I know.)

Not quite sure how to properly report these bugs, but this is just a suggestion for improvement, as you can see in this diff: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=JoLynn_Garnes&diff=437379133&oldid=421561936], AWB corrected the link, but kept the non-capitalized state of the word because the script is just to find links and then move on. To solve this, if a link is corrected there should be a call to a script to run a sweep on the word to see if it needs capitalization (probably just call a function that has already been made in AWB to check for it).

Solutions would be:

or

1. If user sets an interval longer than API max time, reset save interval to acceptable API max time. Let user know this has been done.

| description = The 'Delay x seconds between edits' feature starts counting at the wrong time. The timer should start as soon as an article has been saved. Currently, the timer appears to start prior to save and thereby delays adds a delay on top of loading and processing time. It even adds a delay for 'no change'. I raised this on the talk page at: Wikipedia_talk:AutoWikiBrowser#Controlling_the_interval_between_two_bot_edits. I've also found difficulties getting the delay to go beyond 119 seconds, it just resets itself without touching the article. I haven't done full testing because it takes so long to try various permutations. The interface allows up to 99999 seconds but is there an unstated limit of 119 seconds?

:I'll see if we can move the start of the timer to be earlier as you describe. If not I'll rename the label to be 'delay x seconds after processing' or something.

| description = If I copy the content of "Navigatie " (not the space after the word!), to paste it in the edit-screen in AWB, the space after the word is missing when I pasted it. This wasn't the case in previous versions. Also when I copy a part into the edit-part, also breaks at the end of a selection aren't there when pasting in AWB. In all previrous versions I have had with AWB, this wasn't the case, the spaces and enters were always normal when pasting, the own will of AWB is very annoying. I am sure you guys work hard on improving AWB, but it also starts to get irritating that each time I am forced to update a good working AWB in a newer version, each time there is trouble with AWB.

::::Ignoring AWB for the moment, when you click the "move" tab at the top of a page, you get to a dialog with two text entry items - one for the new page name and a larger one for the reason. Just below the "Reason" entry item are some checkboxes, the number and function of which vary. One of those checkboxes, "Leave a redirect behind", is visible only to admins, and if checked (the default) the move function behaves like a move performed by a non-admin - a redirect to the new page name is created at the old page name. If unchecked, this redirect is suppressed. --Redrose64 (talk) 22:54, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

@John of Reading: Yes, I meant that checkbox. Teyandee (talk) 06:40, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

| duplicate = I was tagging a whole list of pages for an old user with {{tl|db-g7}}, list was copied from http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3APrefixIndex&prefix=4%2F&namespace=2, pasted and tidied up in text editor to give one link per line, then read in by AWB. All was working well until User:4/Chess openings/French Defense the content of which was #REDIRECT French Defence, AWB then quickly jumped to show French Defense page in article space, and not the user redirect page. I stopped and tried again - same problem. So I ticked the "Page is redirect" in the Skip tag, and that failed to work as well. So proceeded on and manually hit the skip button when a redirect was loaded up - there were 5 in the list, none of them were automatically skipped.

AWB removes spaces around en dashes between years. However, they shouldn't be removed when: (1) either date is preceded by "c.", "ca", "ca.", "circa", etc.; (2) either date contains a month, day, or season. At least for (1), AWB only incorrectly removes the spaces if it's the first date that's circa. I've only seen it for the first date in (2) as well, but both probably occur. — kwami (talk) 11:24, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

AWB removes spacing which is needed to improve the internal readability of citations. For example, on [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=D._B._Cooper&curid=8799&diff=450449600&oldid=449780307 this edit to D.B. Cooper], the vast majority of text changes are to remove spaces between and {{ as in

:before:  {{cite whatever

:after:   {{cite whatever

Those spaces greatly enhance human maintainability:

• They help guide the eye to identify the lexical elements. Since must be butted against preceding text for the resulting html to render correctly, the lack of space introduces a very long block of dense symbols: much beyond any readability guideline or comprehensibility threshold.
• A space helps line-length wrapping break at an appropriate place.
• Text editors with "skip to next word" cursor movement operation is intuitive with a space, but cumbersome without.

If anything, AWB should be going exactly the opposite direction, changing citations to multi-line indented elements:

some fact {{cite web

| url = http://www.crimelibrary.com/criminal_mind/scams/DB_Cooper/2.html

| title = The D.B. Cooper Story: The Crime

| last = Krajicek

| first = David

| work = Crime Library

| accessdate = January 3, 2008

}}

It should also be arranging the citation template items into a standard, consistent order. I find the most effective order is sorted by top-to-bottom arrangement of URL, title, author, publisher, work, page, date, accessdate. Also note the spaces before and after the equal signs and the space after the | delimiter. These conventions are to make reading the wikitext more friendly by humans. In the case of consecutive citations, join them like this to easily identify each citation:

some fact {{cite x

...

}} {{cite x

...

}} {{cite x

...

}}

While this is potentially a controversial change, most of the controversy is that there is no standard. Many editors would remove citations completely because they "get in the way" of seemingly productive content. To help citations to be less nuisance, I believe friendly formatting will help them be embraced, expanded, and accepted. —EncMstr (talk) 19:35, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

:Hi EncMstr! I agree that this would be a potentially controversial change, since there is no standard, and does not change how the article it presented to the reader (only how it looks to editors). In my opinion, this should be a feature request, not a bug report. Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 00:56, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

This is a matter of preference and not a bug

So one of the first steps in assessing a bug report like this one is to work out whether the edit was done by the built-in functions.

About 0.5% of the time, AWB skipped an existing page. But it's consistent: it will skip those articles again and again if I put them back in the list.

::Yes it is thank you. Am I stuck with the more difficult (IMO) groupings? — GabeMc (talk) 07:49, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

:::Firstly, these ISBN hyphenation changes are not a part of default AWB behaviour, so are custom to the editor who made the edit. Secondly, the penultimate group in an ISBN is not always 5 digits, it will be between 1 and 6 digits, see ISBN#Pattern. The format of the hyphenated ISBNs in that edit looks correct. Rjwilmsi 08:05, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

::::From the perspective of a content editor, the five digits that tell me if I have the same edition are 89754 in the example I gave above. They should be grouped to help editors check sources, since the cpu doesn't care where the hyphens are, you get the same result with any combination, so why not make it easier for editors? — GabeMc (talk) 08:19, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

:::: Per WP:ISBN, "Formats for 13-digit ISBN: ISBN 9781234567897, ISBN 978-1-234-56789-7". So why does AWB not group the 13-digit as the policy suggests, and as is easiest for editors? — GabeMc (talk) 21:56, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

:::::I believe that line from WP:ISBN is to show that you may enter the ISBN either with or without the dashes. In the previous sentence it says "the placement of dashes varies between books". See also [http://isbn-international.org/faqs/view/5#q_5 The FAQ page for the ISBN organisation], where it says that the "edition and format" part of an ISBN "may be up to 6 digits in length". -- John of Reading (talk) 22:07, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

::::::Yes, it does vary by book, and the last six digits are the important ones, especially the five excluding the last. But house style should be consistant with what's best for libraries and editors. For example, would it matter if the Library of Congress entries group them exactly as I am suggesting? — GabeMc (talk) 06:54, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

:::::::With the hyphens in the correct places, marking off the variable-length pieces of each ISBN, then the group before the checksum digit is the "edition and format" identifier. If the language and publisher identifiers are longer, then the edition identifier will be shorter, and vice versa. If you want to see whether two ISBNs refer to different editions of the same book, then you need to compare everything excluding the edition identifier, whatever its length. If we impose a house style that insists on a hyphen before the last six digits, then this will make it more difficult to pick out the "edition and format" identifier, and thus make it harder to check whether two ISBNs refer to two editions of the same book. -- John of Reading (talk) 07:31, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

::::::::Take this isbn for example, 978-0-7535-0481-9, can you please tell me which digits are the edition identifier? — GabeMc (talk) 08:43, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

:(outdent)

:According to this list, 7535 is the publisher code for Virgin Books, so 0481 must indicate both the title and the edition, and my previous post here is incorrect. [http://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/SearchResults?bi=0&bx=off&ds=30&kn=7535&pn=Virgin+Books&recentlyadded=all&sortby=17&sts=t&x=48&y=11 Here] is an AbeBooks search confirming my mistake; these ISBNs only vary in the last-but-one group (and the checksum, of course) but there are many different titles.

:Similarly the ISBNs for different editions of the same book by the same publisher are all over the place. I couldn't find any other editions of the Beatles Encyclopedia at Abebooks, but I found another title by the same publisher with multiple editions, and the ISBNs are completely different ([http://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/SearchResults?bi=0&bx=off&ds=30&pn=virgin+books&recentlyadded=all&sortby=7&sts=t&tn=A+Children%27s+Treasury+of+Milligan%3A+Classic+Stories+and+Poems&x=30&y=8 AbeBooks search]).

I only found two instances of "accessdaete" in Wikipedia and fixed them both manually. Doesn't seem common enough to add to WP:AWB/RTP. GoingBatty (talk) 00:25, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

• Das Waldstadion hat einen Ascheplatz und wurde 1997 & nbsp ; um einen Rasenplatz erweitert.
• Laut Bevölkerungsprognose der Bertelsmann-Stiftung wird die Bevölkerung von Barntrup gegenüber dem Jahr 2006 bis 2025& nbsp ;um etwa 12,9% abnehmen.
• Bei den Zahlen handelt es sich ab 1975& nbsp ;um amtliche Fortschreibungen

Since I have never encountered a correct replacement of this by AutoWikiBrowser, it should be deactivated in de.wikipedia for good.

My apologies, I'm not a Wikipedia user, but am using AWB on a private wiki I'm using for historical research. My site's files are at http://www.melange-tea.com/codex/, and of course I enter www.melange-tea.com/codex/ under Options > Preferences > Site > http://. Each and every time I load any settings file using this project (including when settings load at program start), I am given:

Error connecting to wiki: An error occurred while connecting to the server or loading project information from it. Please make sure that your internet connection works and such combination of project/language exist.
Enter the URL in the format "en.wikipedia.org/w/" (including path where index.php and api.php reside).
Error description: Root element is missing.

I then go to Options > Preferences > Site > http:// and, once custom is selected under Project, I can see the http:// field populated with www.melange-tea.com (i.e., the URL with the subdirectory removed). I add the subdirectory /codex/ back on, click OK, and then everything runs as normal... until I have to load another settings file, and this whole process must be repeated. (For what it's worth I have tested this with the wiki set both private and public (i.e., $wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = true/false) ; it occurs the same way under each configuration.)

It looks (to my unknowing eye) simply that your excellent program is clipping off the subdirectory, or doesn't accept a site that doesn't use the /w/ folder? Anyway, I can work around it no problem, but thought you should be let known. I think AWB is an excellent resource, thank you very much for creating/maintaining it!!!

I reported this at typos, but was told it should be here. A simple fix.

Double-hyphen is converted to an em dash (except between digits, when it becomes an en dash). However, if the word to either side of he hyphens is linked, the conversion is prevented. This means that where the dashes occur in pairs, often only one of them will be fixed.

An example is here,[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jen%C5%91_Hubay&diff=prev&oldid=472749453] where only the second "--" was autofixed in

I don't have access to the coding obviously but here is what I think is needed to fix the logic to include the missing parameters. I also ordered them in alphabetical order to make finding and adding/removing them as changes are needed.

Also, I took the above list of fields from the Template documentation however the code contains a few parameters that aren't listed in the documentation.

:You shouldn't be putting {{tlx|talk header}} on Talk:Cherokee County Airport (Georgia). There are no discussions, and per the documentation, {{tlx|talk header}} "should be used only when needed.

I don't think that AWB can determine whether the template should or shouldn't be there and if it could I'm not sure if it should remove it. There are arguments on both sides for and against using the template that I don't think AWB needs to get into the middle of. But the template shouldn't be stuck between the wikiProject templates like this.

::I also think that we should make sure that WikiProject Banners are above discussion strings like you can see on [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:William_Augustus_Jones,_Jr.&oldid=471015938 William Augustus Jones, Jr.] where the banners are below the discussion. --Kumioko (talk) 19:43, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

:::#{{tl|Image requested}} banners being in the middle of WP banners should be moved to the bottom.

:::#Moving the WikiProject Biography banner first in living biographies.

| description = List comparer is a great tool I use a lot when working with files on Commons. In order to find some sets of files I often need to intersect 2 large sets of files to find relatively small intersection. List comparer seem to be the only tool I know that can do that, since toolserver tools like CatScan2 usually times out. The problem is that list comparer is extremely slow when working with large sets of pages. Operations like select all and delete usually take longer than fetching the file list: with 25k pages it might take 10 min; with 300k pages it might take an hour. Intersection of 200k page list and 300k page list takes 2-3 hours. I understand that some slowness is expected when working with large lists but I suspect that the underlying code was written without considering possibly of large sets.

:When editing using AWB you can change the edit summary in the Summary box on the Start tab to whatever you want, if the page text is manually edited only "using AWB" will be appended to what's in the Summary box, typo "a -> b" items will not be appended. Therefore I'm unclear why you say you can't change the edit summary? Thanks Rjwilmsi 12:40, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

::Here's a typical edit summary: "Typo and General fixing, replaced: Commemmorative → Commemorative, typos fixed: Morroco → Morocco, caracter → character using AWB". If I had made even one keystroke in the text window, all this is lost. The workaround suggested here requires me to grab the text from the edit summary tab, paste it into Notepad to be edited, and repaste it from there into the tiny box on the "Start" tab. Then, since everything typed into the box on the "Start" tab gets saved in the list at "Options > Summaries", it is necessary to clear them out of there from time to time.

::Since that is unworkable I *never* edit in the text window while typo-fixing, and jump out to edit in my browser whenever the AWB edit isn't right.

On changes [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andermani_Empire&diff=415799680&oldid=389056634 like this] from an old, now-inaccurate {{tl|unref}} tag to a newly verified {{tl|refimprove}}, shouldn't AWB change the date, thus indicating that someone has very recently determined that the refs need to be improved?

This is a superminor problem. Dates on tags are only for categorisation purposes. -- Magioladitis (talk) 13:01, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

:{{awbsvn|8180}} Magio has updated the {{tl|refimprove}} documentation to match. Rjwilmsi 15:13, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

I've downloaded the latest version of AWB, extracted the zipped files to a folder. Once run, Norton (Symantec) AntiVirus 360 (v5.1.0.29) either makes the files invalid or deletes one or two of the files. Adamdaley (talk) 10:35, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

:Ive had that happen as well. It doesn't do it every time and I usually just disable the app temporarily till Im done updating AWB. --Kumioko (talk) 13:41, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

::Yes. I disabled Norton (Symantec) and it did work indeed. This could be something the developers could consider in future releases of AWB. Adamdaley (talk) 22:40, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Archived. Please report if problem presists in Norton's latest version. -- Magioladitis (talk) 17:14, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Previous bug at Wikipedia_talk:AutoWikiBrowser/Bugs/Archive_11#Re-ordering_references_can_leave_page_number_templates_behind.

There are also some other templates that should be treated the same way, I think:

• {{Tlx|Failed verification}}
• {{Tlx|Verify credibility}}
• {{Tlx|Page needed}}
• {{Tlx|Volume needed}}
• {{Tlx|Year missing}}
• Anything in :Category:Inline citation cleanup templates

What happens if you reparse (by pressing F5)? -- Magioladitis (talk) 22:00, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

:Pressing F5 results in one more stub to be added! [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AMagioladitis%2Fsandbox&diff=504461474&oldid=504461157 The more you press the more the fun]. -- Magioladitis (talk) 17:26, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

:My correct edit [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AMagioladitis%2Fsandbox&diff=504462376&oldid=504462286 fails for me]. I think we don't fix double stub tags. -- Magioladitis (talk) 17:32, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

::MetaDataSort fixes double tags. -- Magioladitis (talk) 19:02, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

:::Problem on the example given was a commented out second DEFAULTSORT, which meant the metadata sorter didn't run fully, not clearing the duplicate stub. I've reproduced the problem on AWB 5.3.0.0, it no longer occurs on latest SVN, so this one is fixed. Rjwilmsi 21:33, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
