On a similar subject, I'm having a problem getting the pre-parse mode to work correctly. One of my skip conditions is "page contains no links", but it does not skip pages without links in pre-parse mode. It does seem to honor my other conditions (ie a regex to skip prods and skipping deleted articles). Is this a known issue?-- Fabrictramp | talk to me 22:09, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Pulled this from the archives. It was said to be fixed in late March, but in AWB 4.5.2.0 using:
I get 0 pages. Changing source to "What links here", "What links here (inc. Redirects)", "What links here (all NS) (inc. Redirects)", and "What transcludes page", I still get 0 results, despite over 500 pages using that template redir, which needs to be replaced with Template:WikiProject Snooker proper, or WP:AALERTS won't work properly with the project in question. Also tried removing the "Template:" from it, and none of those options worked either. I'm kind of at a loss as to what to do about this, since I'm not going to edit hundreds of these things manually. — SMcCandlish [ talk] [ cont] ‹(-¿-)› 19:53, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Workaround | Using "Random Pages" as source instead of "Special page - Random Pages". Or just avoid being too quick. | ||||||
Fixed in version | Unknown |
How to replicate this bug:
- Start AWB
- Login
- Set "Special page" as list source
- Click the "Make list" button
- select "Random Pages" as source
- Press the Enter key
- Click the "Make list" button
- Press the Enter key
Repeat these last two steps a couple of times, rather quickly (I mean buttonbash), and soon you'll see an errormessage pop up.
The errormessage in Dutch roughly translates to:
A form that is already displayed as a modal, can not be displayed as a modal dialog form. Close the form before calling showDialog.
This probably means that AWB calls the function "showDialog" while the form "Special Pages" is open. It might be possible to solve this by checking if the form is already open before calling the "showDialog" function.

A recent edit to
Daylight saving time changed this:
[[Image:End CEST Transparent.png|thumb|left|120px| alt=Diagram of a clock showing a transition from 3:00 to 2:00.| When DST ends in central Europe, clocks retreat from 03:00 CEST to 02:00 CET. Other regions switch at different times.]] to this: [[Image:End CEST Transparent.png|thumb|left|120px| alt=Diagram of a clock showing a transition from 3:00 to 2:00.| When DST ends in central Europe, clocks retreat from 03:00 CEST to 02:00 CET. Other regions switch at different times.]] I don't see how this is an improvement. The version before the change is easier to edit, because it puts the alt= and caption on different lines, making them easier to read when you're editing. The change doesn't affect the HTML generated. Perhaps this edit was motivated by the fact that alt text should not contain newlines, and should not have leading white space? It would be reasonable to fix those things. But this alt text does not contain newlines, and does not have leading white space, so there's no problem with it. This edit was made by the DrilBot, and I posted a bug report at User talk:DrilBot #Undocumented and unnecessary change to alt= syntax in images. The response there was that it wasn't DrilBot per se but the software here. Can you please fix things so that this sort of edit isn't made? Thanks. Eubulides ( talk) 20:33, 11 August 2009 (UTC) |

Description | 'Find' sometimes fails to use the search key. For example, if I search for 'foo', it will claim that 'bar' is a hit. It is an intermittent fault that I have noticed with several versions of AWB. I usually just ignore it or relaunch AWB. I recently discovered that you can workaround it by keep clicking 'Find' (i.e. the 'next' function) until it has gone to the end of the page and wraps round to the beginning. Incidentally, sometimes I have to click 'Find' about three times to get it going but that is a separate issue. Lightmouse ( talk) 16:26, 19 December 2008 (UTC) |

Seriously, do you really expect the Wikipedia page HTML to work as a config file? You'll need page source for that. And even then, you shouldn't be loading configs from anywhere on the net without reviewing it for security issues - remember that custom modules can do ANYTHING to your poor PC.

Description | AWB replaces underscores in file names, for example
this edit. Apparently this behavior is considered normal (
previous discussion) but I am afraid there are reasons, listed below, which make it undesirable. I am not an AWB operator, rather I am reporting AWB behavior which I consider unhelpful and am officially requesting a change to stop this behavior. That indicates this bug report rather than a feature request. AWB replaces underscores in links, such as [[United_States]] --> [[United States]] which is obviously desirable. However, as a consequence of that action it also replaces underscores in file names in image placement wiki markup, for example [[Image:Quincy_MA_geography.png|thumb| ... and features]] --> [[Image:Quincy MA geography.png|thumb| ... and features]] from the diff linked above. This is undesirable because:
None of these issues would ever arise if AWB would simply ignore underscores in file names i.e. not change any underscores following the strings " |

(undent; long post): My feeling is that the underscores should be removed, for the following reasons:
(in response to Mandrax's comment): Most people who edit Wikipedia understand link syntax, and know that changing things between double brackets can cause links to break. This doesn't seem any more likely with images than with other links. Besides, how often do you see someone make this kind of error where having underscores would have prevented it?
Additionally, using underscores causes longer image names to create goofy line wraps in the edit box... another minor point, but it can come up.
So yes, I think that this is perfectly good and positive functionality for AWB. – Drilnoth ( T • C • L) 02:05, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
This is not a bug, as such it won't be "fixed": 1) and 2) are completely irrelevant, 3) is microseconds, see WP:PERF, 4) is fully compensated with improved readability, 5) most (=99,9%) users don't use command line anyway, and finally, 6) this feature is intended to help an average user, not an "old school coders" or anyone else in particular. In general, filenames with spaces instead of underscores have better readability (no surprise MediaWiki displays this form on thier desc pages) and have broad support within the community. 62.140.253.6 ( talk) 16:31, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

- R3 If the intended target is known, map NLF, LS, and PS appropriately, depending on the target conventions. For example, when mapping to Microsoft Word’s internal conventions for documents, LS would be mapped to VT, and PS and any NLF would be mapped to CRLF.
- R3a If the intended target is unknown, map NLF, LS, and PS to the platform newline convention (CR, LF, CRLF, or NEL).

Searching in internet: The error means that you run the risk of stepping over items in the list if some items are removed or added. It's safer to use a for loop in this case, also if flush actually removes an item from the list it's better to traverse the list in reverse order.

On a similar subject, I'm having a problem getting the pre-parse mode to work correctly.

It does seem to honor my other conditions (ie a regex to skip prods and skipping deleted articles). Is this a known issue?-- Fabrictramp | talk to me 22:09, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Pulled this from the archives. It was said to be fixed in late March, but in AWB 4.5.2.0 using:
I get 0 pages. Changing source to "What links here", "What links here (inc. Redirects)", "What links here (all NS) (inc. Redirects)", and "What transcludes page", I still get 0 results, despite over 500 pages using that template redir, which needs to be replaced with Template:WikiProject Snooker proper, or WP:AALERTS won't work properly with the project in question. Also tried removing the "Template:" from it, and none of those options worked either. I'm kind of at a loss as to what to do about this, since I'm not going to edit hundreds of these things manually. — SMcCandlish [ talk] [ cont] ‹(-¿-)› 19:53, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Workaround | Using "Random Pages" as source instead of "Special page - Random Pages". Or just avoid being too quick. | ||||||
Fixed in version | Unknown |
How to replicate this bug:
- Start AWB
- Login
- Set "Special page" as list source
- Click the "Make list" button
- select "Random Pages" as source
- Press the Enter key
- Click the "Make list" button
- Press the Enter key
Repeat these last two steps a couple of times, rather quickly (I mean buttonbash), and soon you'll see an errormessage pop up.
The errormessage in Dutch roughly translates to:
A form that is already displayed as a modal, can not be displayed as a modal dialog form. Close the form before calling showDialog.
This probably means that AWB calls the function "showDialog" while the form "Special Pages" is open. It might be possible to solve this by checking if the form is already open before calling the "showDialog" function.

A recent edit to
Daylight saving time changed this:
[[Image:End CEST Transparent.png|thumb|left|120px| alt=Diagram of a clock showing a transition from 3:00 to 2:00.| When DST ends in central Europe, clocks retreat from 03:00 CEST to 02:00 CET. Other regions switch at different times.]] to this: [[Image:End CEST Transparent.png|thumb|left|120px| alt=Diagram of a clock showing a transition from 3:00 to 2:00.| When DST ends in central Europe, clocks retreat from 03:00 CEST to 02:00 CET. Other regions switch at different times.]] I don't see how this is an improvement. The version before the change is easier to edit, because it puts the alt= and caption on different lines, making them easier to read when you're editing. The change doesn't affect the HTML generated. Perhaps this edit was motivated by the fact that alt text should not contain newlines, and should not have leading white space? It would be reasonable to fix those things. But this alt text does not contain newlines, and does not have leading white space, so there's no problem with it. This edit was made by the DrilBot, and I posted a bug report at User talk:DrilBot #Undocumented and unnecessary change to alt= syntax in images. The response there was that it wasn't DrilBot per se but the software here. Can you please fix things so that this sort of edit isn't made? Thanks. Eubulides ( talk) 20:33, 11 August 2009 (UTC) |

Description | 'Find' sometimes fails to use the search key. For example, if I search for 'foo', it will claim that 'bar' is a hit. It is an intermittent fault that I have noticed with several versions of AWB. I usually just ignore it or relaunch AWB. I recently discovered that you can workaround it by keep clicking 'Find' (i.e. the 'next' function) until it has gone to the end of the page and wraps round to the beginning. Incidentally, sometimes I have to click 'Find' about three times to get it going but that is a separate issue. Lightmouse ( talk) 16:26, 19 December 2008 (UTC) |

Description | AWB replaces underscores in file names, for example
this edit. Apparently this behavior is considered normal (
previous discussion) but I am afraid there are reasons, listed below, which make it undesirable. I am not an AWB operator, rather I am reporting AWB behavior which I consider unhelpful and am officially requesting a change to stop this behavior. That indicates this bug report rather than a feature request. AWB replaces underscores in links, such as [[United_States]] --> [[United States]] which is obviously desirable. However, as a consequence of that action it also replaces underscores in file names in image placement wiki markup, for example [[Image:Quincy_MA_geography.png|thumb| ... and features]] --> [[Image:Quincy MA geography.png|thumb| ... and features]] from the diff linked above. This is undesirable because:
None of these issues would ever arise if AWB would simply ignore underscores in file names i.e. not change any underscores following the strings " |

(undent; long post): My feeling is that the underscores should be removed, for the following reasons:
(in response to Mandrax's comment): Most people who edit Wikipedia understand link syntax, and know that changing things between double brackets can cause links to break. This doesn't seem any more likely with images than with other links. Besides, how often do you see someone make this kind of error where having underscores would have prevented it?
Additionally, using underscores causes longer image names to create goofy line wraps in the edit box... another minor point, but it can come up.
So yes, I think that this is perfectly good and positive functionality for AWB. – Drilnoth ( T • C • L) 02:05, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
This is not a bug, as such it won't be "fixed": 1) and 2) are completely irrelevant, 3) is microseconds, see WP:PERF, 4) is fully compensated with improved readability, 5) most (=99,9%) users don't use command line anyway, and finally, 6) this feature is intended to help an average user, not an "old school coders" or anyone else in particular. In general, filenames with spaces instead of underscores have better readability (no surprise MediaWiki displays this form on thier desc pages) and have broad support within the community. 62.140.253.6 ( talk) 16:31, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

- Converting to Other Character Code Sets
- R3 If the intended target is known, map NLF, LS, and PS appropriately, depending on the target conventions. For example, when mapping to Microsoft Word’s internal conventions for documents, LS would be mapped to VT, and PS and any NLF would be mapped to CRLF.
- R3a If the intended target is unknown, map NLF, LS, and PS to the platform newline convention (CR, LF, CRLF, or NEL).
OK so there is a hidden character in here? Can I search a database dump for occurrences? Rich Farmbrough, 22:20, 2 September 2009 (UTC).

Regex username = new Regex(@"^\*\s*" + Tools.CaseInsensitive(Editor.User.Name)

suspect we should change it for
Regex username = new Regex(@"^\*\s*" + Tools.CaseInsensitive(Regex.Escape(Editor.User.Name))
+ @"\s*$", RegexOptions.Multiline);
to account for the brackets.. — Ree dy 09:12, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Searching in internet: The error means that you run the risk of stepping over items in the list if some items are removed or added. It's safer to use a for loop in this case, also if flush actually removes an item from the list it's better to traverse the list in reverse order.
