Description | It would be nice if AWB stopped when you hit the 'stop' button. Currently you have to wait until it's between articles, and when the WP servers are bogged down, that can take quite a while. When it's stuck on a particularly long article in pre-parse mode, it's often quicker to stop AWB and search the article by hand, or at least it would be if you could stop AWB. — kwami ( talk) 07:19, 1 March 2014 (UTC) |

I think this is going to be moot. There is already talk of bots on Wikidata getting information from persondata. (Mangus and Sk!d were involved) I have a feeling persondata will become obsolete when that happens. Maybe hold off on this request until stage 2 (or whatever the next rollout is called) is pushed to English Wikipedia? Hopefully will get a better idea where Wikidata is headed at that point.

Description | On the WP Special:Search page, the new CirrusSearch back end can be selected by appending &srbackend=CirrusSearch to the URL. The new search has a very useful feature called "Phrase search and proximity" that allows searching for terms that are separated by a specified number of words. The usefulness of this technique has been discussed at WT:AWB/T#signed a contact. Perhaps AWB could add a new source type to the drop-down list under "Make list", perhaps called ""Wiki search (text – CirrusSearch)" or something to that effect. If it just entails adding that single parameter to whatever gets passed to the WP server, this would greatly increase AWB's effectiveness for very little change of code.

syntax highlighting when editing, which I like a lot. In this environment, when it detects an HTML tag, it will highlight that snippit pink (by default), which is great. What I don't like is when, in infoboxes or whatever, there is a <br> tag that turns the entire rest of the article text pink because it never sees a closing tag.

I think that being able to load lists by themselves (not only as a part of settings) would be more flexible.

Description | The list maker and comparer allow for data export through the save list button, but they don't allow for re-import of that same data. For example, there is no way you can combine the saved results of two categories and then compare them with the contents of a third category (my idea was to gather the contents of Category:Male athletes and Category:Female athletes and find the people in Category:Athletes by nationality who do not appear in those categories). Allowing list import of previously exported text files would make such tasks easier. SFB 18:54, 8 August 2014 (UTC) |

@
Stevietheman: See
#Import list above. In both the main window and the list comparer, the Text file (UTF-8)
and Text file (Windows 1252/ANSI)
options in the "Source" menu import a locally stored list. To save a list but not the other settings, use the List → Save list function in the main screen, or the Save list button in the list comparer.

Description | The list maker and comparer allow for data export through the save list button, but they don't allow for re-import of that same data. For example, there is no way you can combine the saved results of two categories and then compare them with the contents of a third category (my idea was to gather the contents of Category:Male athletes and Category:Female athletes and find the people in Category:Athletes by nationality who do not appear in those categories). Allowing list import of previously exported text files would make such tasks easier. SFB 18:54, 8 August 2014 (UTC) |

@
Sillyfolkboy: If I understand your request correctly, there actually is. The "Source" dropdown menu contains the options Text file (UTF-8)
and Text file (Windows 1252 / ANSI)
to import .txt files of different encodings.

Description | AWB's
general fixes for citation templates already "Removes |language= when it is English per citation templates manuals." Could this please be expanded to remove |sprache= when it is English in {{
internetquelle}}? This will will remove the article from
Category:CS1 maint: English language specified. See
Wafik Moustafa for an example. Thanks!

I hacked a quick script that removed |sprache=en
, |sprache=EN
, |sprache=English
, and |sprache=Englisch
from about 60 pages that transclude {{
internetquelle}}
.
(\{\{(?:internetquelle|Literatur)[^\}]*)\|\s*(?:Original)sprache\s*=\s*(?:english|Englisch|en\-us|en)
$1
The better solution perhaps, is to fix {{internetquelle}}
so that it doesn't pass English on to {{
cite web}}
. I'll have a look at it in the morning unless someone beats me to it.

Tweaked the script so that it also fixes {{
Literatur}}
even though that template uses {{
citation/core}}
.

Description | A number of images turn of in
Category:Articles with missing files that use an ext link as a file name (eg.
[1]). I would like to see AWB remove any files of the form File:http://example.ext or File:https://example.ext . I doubt that there would be any false positives. --

Note that your example is of the form image = http://example.ext
, which is another variation that would be good to remove. If there isn't already a bot that does this, I could submit a bot request. Thanks!

Most infoboxes use Module:InfoboxImage now. Do we still need this FR? -- Magioladitis ( talk) 18:34, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
Marked as "no". It is rare and risky. Better ask for a tag for this one. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 08:47, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Description | I was working with a very large list, I had a few thousand selected and accidentally double clicked causing AWB to attempt to open them all in tabs... After trying to close them as they opened I eventually gave up and had to hard reboot my computer to stop the constant stream of opening tabs! It would be great if AWB could provide a warning box such as "Are you sure you wish to open more than 20 pages?" to prevent this happening by accident.
