I summarise a bit here. This is a to-do list. TO DO:

  1. Support new priority parameters i.e. don't remove them and don't add empty priority parameters is one of the new ones exist
  2. If priority parameter is missing, keep adding the generic priority parameter
    1. In the future: If a work-group exists and the corresponding priority parameter is missing, add it
    2. In the future: If a work-group exists and a generic priority parameter exists, replace it with the one corresponding to the work-group.
  3. If living parameter is missing, add an empty living field unless class=dab
  4. If listas parameter is missing, add an empty listas field

Database scanner bugs II

Status Bug currently being investigated/fixed
Description ...
  1. If I ask for AWB to start from the entry "BioPHP", no hits will ever be returned, even for a query that will (normally) return every page.
  2. Particularly when asked to return a small number of results, there is a large gap between the articles being found (and indeed listed) and the scanner declaring itself finished, stopping itself and presenting a time taken.

I think these were all the same weeks ago, but for reference purposes I'm using 4.9.0.1 (r4812), trunk built from source. - Jarry1250 [ humorous – discuss ] 18:37, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've finally got #1 sussed. Basically, if you look to scan the entire en database, but have to stop half-way through, you can't resume half-way through. Instead, the scanner summarily scans the first half of the articles looking for your given start point, but doesn't record any results until it finds it (hence my assumption that no results were ever going to be returned), so it's not a great deal quicker than just starting from scratch.

Did you have the 'highlight unbalanced brackets if found' option set – on that article an unbalanced bracket is found, so a search begins at that point in the article. After finding all those matches and returning to the top, the new search starts from the top of the article. Rjwilmsi 21:29, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
To be honest I don't know. I went through and tried to make it screw up again without the 'highlight unbalanced brackets if found'. I would expect that the find function would always start the search at the top and go from there, no matter what options I have selected, so can we fix that? Perhaps that was the problem from the beginning. Wizard191 (talk) 22:40, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Really? I always assumed that it started at the top until I accidentally hit the search button one too many times and found that it went to the top and I found more hits than I saw the first time around.

Premier Kelso Hurlde is an orphan then. It must have at least 3 non-redirect links. Don't worry for an article being tagged as an orphan. This doesn't mean it'll be deleted. It means that editors have to link it with more articles. -- Magioladitis (talk) 21:08, 24 September 2009 (UTC) From WP:ORPHAN: Orphan: An article with fewer than three incoming links which meet the criteria for linking below.

Perhaps, the "Coventry and Bedworth Urban Area" article is a better example. After AWB added the orphan template JL-Bot removed it. This article has a few redirects, but more than about 20 links go to one of the redirects. Snowman (talk) 21:23, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
OK. This IS a bug. This article is not orphan. -- Magioladitis (talk) 21:29, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Per WP:ORPHAN as cited above, the article is an orphan. So... no, this is not a bug. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 21:28, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
So, the definition has to change to "when an article, or its redirects, have less than 3 incoming links... -- Magioladitis (talk) 21:29, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The definition seems fine to me; the redirects themselves don't count (there could be 20 redirects and no other links, and the article would be an orphan), but if there were no direct links to the article but redirects to it were linked 20 times, then it wouldn't be orphaned. The links to redirects are still links to that article, there's just one more step in the process. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 21:31, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
So, we don't disagree. This article has only one redirect linking to it but this redirect is linked by 20 articles. Thus, it's not orphan. -- Magioladitis (talk) 21:33, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Here is another article to think about "Verreaux's Monal-Partridge" - I have not wikilinked it here in case it affects the link count. At the present time AWB will add an orphan template, and I expect JL-Bot will remove it again, as it has already done twice. It seems that JL-Bot is doing something different to AWB 5438.

J-L states that "it uses the Adopted Orphans toolserver report to determine which tags to remove". I don't know if AWB could use this. This would slow things down.

Okay, so 4 issues here:
Other similar problems:
Terms where a numeral is adjacent to a non-whitespace character ("22g") should not be changed. In case of a false positive on something like "50 m", no real harm is done because all that changes is where a line ends. Changing "22g" to "22 g" potentially changes the meaning, or at least creates incorrect punctuation.
Also, it may be unwise to use non-breaking spaces when unit names are spelled out, because compound unit names can be long enough to create awkward line endings. --Jc3s5h (talk) 16:04, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

An example? -- Magioladitis (talk) 21:08, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If I make another change to AWB's defaultsort capitalisation logic it will be to remove it entirely, and only correct spacing and diacritics errors in the defaultsort. There are 101 different policies in Wikipedia on the defaultsort and AWB cannot meet all of them, let alone most of them. Do we think that is the best way forward? Rjwilmsi 23:54, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I would expect that anyone doing defaultsort would just type the article name 'as it exists' and not alter it. What reason would there be for alteration? It is the 'default' after all. Hmains (talk) 00:12, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It's the default for sorting. So it should have not diacritics and not capitals in the middle because these things change the expected order. For more information check WP:SORT. -- Magioladitis (talk) 00:15, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
So what is the resolution? Continue to have AWB capitalize the first letter of each word in the name and lower case all other letters even if they are an initialism of some kind? If so, it is not a resolution, just a perpetuation of error Hmains (talk) 06:16, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This is not for AWB to decide. Read the rules in WP:SORT please.
    • Do not begin a sort key with a lower case letter unless you want the article to appear on the category page separate from articles sorted with an upper case letter, under a lower case letter heading.
  • A case-insensitive sort can be achieved by following the convention that initial letters of words are capitalized in the sort key, but other letters are lower case. For example, use "Dubois" in sort keys rather than "DuBois".
If you disagree please start a discussion there. -- Magioladitis (talk) 09:02, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • You misunderstand. If the name of the article is 'Infantry divisions in WWII by country', AWB creates a defaultsort template with 'Infantry Divisions In Wwii By Country'. It is AWB that is in wrong; there is nothing wrong or in question with WP:SORT. Hmains (talk) 22:16, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Disambig function improperly skips

Status New
Description Seemingly random articles are skipped when processing disambiguations. Wizard191 (talk) 22:07, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
To duplicate: Create a list of what links to embossing. Link to disambiguation: "embossing". Select "skip page when do disambiguations made". AWB will skip until debit card even though the previous articles contain a link to embossing.

List Comparer needs to be run twice for accurate unique list to be achieved

Status Fixed in the next release
Description The list comparer needs to be run twice... On the first run it reports an inaccurate "Unique in list 1". –xenotalk 16:02, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
To duplicate: Add to list from category of links on Wikipedia:WikiProject Chicago/Bot Category List, compare to Category:WikiProject Chicago articles - note unique in list 1 upwards of 4000. Clear ListMaker 1, move unique in list 1 to Listmaker1, clear all, compare again, note unique in List 1 figure drops radically.

Seems some of the recent attempts at optimisation have messed it up. Magioladitis! ;P —Reedy 18:03, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I am marking as fixed but I would like xeno to confirm it. -- Magioladitis (talk) 00:27, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I dunno, I think this broke something else. I'm now trying to compare a list of 23528 members to one of 404 members. The results show only 300 as unique in list 1, 346 as common, and 58 as unique in list 2..,. So what happened to the other 22000+ some odd pages? =) –xenotalk 18:06, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Reedy, add "lb2.Items.Add(a2);" after line 96. This is where the missing pages went. If after that the ListComparer is still not accurate we can rollback. -- Magioladitis (talk) 23:41, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Network access error

Status New
Description About every three or four edits I get an exception box, title = "Network access error", text = "The underlying connection was closed: A connection that was expected to be kept alive was closed by the server."
