I'd like to stop the addition of the [[WP:AWB/T|typo(s) fixed]]:
text to edit summaries when using AWB's automatic typo fixes. Is there any way to do this? Using the "lock the default edit summary" option doesn't stop it from being added.

After I have enabled two factor authentication, I am unable to login in the autowikibrowser. While trying to login a pop up comes up telling aborted. What is the solution for this issue. ? Balaji (Let's talk) 08:13, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
Hello. Could you tell me, please, where can I see the (new, automatic, and hidden) categories of the result? If I made a mistake, I should know when the tracking category appears. Thank you. IKhitron ( talk) 19:11, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
Hi. Continuing Wikipedia talk:AutoWikiBrowser/Archive 34#Replace maximum, I'm here to tell that I've just finished the work. 1246 string replacements, about ten of them were added on the fly, about 2500 pages. @ SchreiberBike, you asked me to call you. IKhitron ( talk) 22:15, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
In this diff, you can see how "General fixes" moved a comment from beside the issue to which it referred, to the wrong point in the article. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:26, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
Due to a couple issues with AWB, talk page cleanups have become too impractical to do:
I don't know how to make AWB skip doing these changes without removing part of the reason I'm using AWB: for talk page-related general fixes. Stefen Towers among the rest! Gab • Gruntwerk 18:10, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
Hello. Few weeks ago, I made a clean reinstall of Windows 10. A couple of days ago, I was trying to load a custom module, but I got following error:
Compiler executable file csc.exe cannot be found. **description**: **workaround**: -------------------------- <table><tr><th>Exception:</th><td>`InvalidOperationException`</td></tr> <tr><th>Message:</th><td>`Compiler executable file csc.exe cannot be found.`</td></tr> <tr><th>Call stack:</th><td><pre> at System.CodeDom.Compiler.RedistVersionInfo.GetCompilerPath(IDictionary`2 provOptions, String compilerExecutable) at Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeGenerator.FromFileBatch(CompilerParameters options, String[] fileNames) at Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeGenerator.FromSourceBatch(CompilerParameters options, String[] sources) at Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeGenerator.System.CodeDom.Compiler.ICodeCompiler.CompileAssemblyFromSourceBatch(CompilerParameters options, String[] sources) at System.CodeDom.Compiler.CodeDomProvider.CompileAssemblyFromSource(CompilerParameters options, String[] sources) at WikiFunctions.CustomModules.CustomModuleCompiler.Compile(String sourceCode, CompilerParameters parameters) at AutoWikiBrowser.CustomModule.MakeModule()</td></tr> </table> **OS**: Microsoft Windows NT 6.2.9200.0 **version**: AutoWikiBrowser (6.3.0.0), WikiFunctions (6.3.0.0), revision 12558 (2024-01-16 20:38:04) **net**: 4.0.30319.42000 **duplicate**: **site**: https://en.wikipedia.org
After that, I installed the .NET framework, I located the csc.exe file, and updated the system environment variable/path. Still, I am getting the same error. Any suggestions? —usernamekiran (talk) 04:28, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

I'm using AWB on Fandom and am trying to do a find and replace edit. I can get it to find an applicable page and it shows the correct edit to be made, but when I press Save, it says Saving... and gives a restart timer. I can't get it to actually make the change. Any suggestions? Fluffbutter ( talk) 17:17, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
Often a short description of "none" will be followed by a hidden note, as follows:
Sometimes these is a space between the template and the note. Either way, AWB wants to move that hidden note to the end of whatever templates are on top of the page. Can it be tweaked so that it leaves it where it is? Cheers! BD2412 T 20:40, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
In this AWB edit, an HTML comment was moved from its proper location – next to the template that it applied to – to a place that makes less sense. It appears that AWB's general fixes may be programmed to make this undesirable change. Can someone please disable this change or explain what I am missing? Thanks. – Jonesey95 ( talk) 12:51, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
