Undone typo still in edit summary

Status New
Description Typo undone by double clicking the diff line still appears in the edit summary, as in this edit. mattbr 15:48, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree - I think it would be helpful to other users reviewing AWB edits if undone typos didn't appear in the edit summary. Rjwilmsi 17:50, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree -- I wouldn't like for people to think from my edit summaries that I had changed things that were not actually typos! KathrynLybarger (talk) 04:11, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
SVN Rev 2028 is still having that issue. Is there going to be a fix for this eventually? Maybe generating the difference after the user hits Save instead of generating the list of changes before the user begins to review the changes? - Jameson L.

I've just been testing it just now. Most of the time it does work, there just seems to be a few cases where it doesnt always update properly... Reedy Boy 14:47, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Tried to improve this a bit... But still not much better... Reedy Boy 16:23, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It seems, when its polling for the username, to check what it is, its still getting the old username... And therefore doesnt always update... Need to have a look at the way its doing it... And potentially move it around or something Reedy Boy 14:41, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Its caching the username somewhere... UpdateWikiStatus/UserNameChanged events arent fired... So the form isnt getting updated.. MaxSem, any chance you could have a look? Presumably, its the webbrowser login... Its not changing pages.. or getting the updated session? —Reedy Boy 00:13, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My preliminary analysis shows that WebControl.Wait() returns immediately in WebControl.Login() and thus we call UserProperties.UpdateWikiStatus() before we actually log in. The easiest way would be to add a static delay, but we should try find out the very root of this problem first. MaxSem(Han shot first!) 20:13, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Would seem this is causing a problem relating to loading the checkpage. OsamaK added the Typo: bit to the ar.wp checkpage, but it wasnt loading it. When i breakpointed it, it only got as far in the code to load that on the 2nd attempt at logging in. The first seemed get kicked out in the if (!LoggedIn)... —Reedy Boy 18:23, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Auto checkbox switches itself off

Maybe, i think it may be set to turn off/uncheck if there is problems... Reedy Boy 13:43, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Actually... I dont think it is... Reedy Boy 22:54, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It's always been like this. I agree it should stay on. You also can't save auto on in the settings file. This mean every time you get logged out, when you log back, you must re-check the box, and if you don't, the same thing that happens to Kingboyk happens to me. --(Review Me) R ParlateContribs@ (Let's Go Yankees!) 03:20, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This is, nonetheless, a useful safeguard sometimes. Rich Farmbrough, 12:50 21 July 2007 (GMT).
Useful safeguard against what exactly? I agree that it's a setting which should be turned on by the operator and not saved in the xml,
That's what I thought you meant. Rich Farmbrough, 07:44 11 August 2007 (GMT).
but if it's turned off by AWB just because the connection was lost I'm not sure what's gained. Having a bad connection doesn't make my bot go wild, and even if in fact my bot does go wild it's easily shut down by an admin blocking it or somebody replacing my talk page redirect with a message. --kingboyk 14:25, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Why shouldn't it be saved in the xml file? Now that we have profiles, you can associate one that always has "auto on" with your bot account only. --(Review Me) R ParlateContribs@ (Let's Go Yankees!) 16:47, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I guess. The concept has always been this is a feature you must turn on, once you're happy with your settings. I wouldn't argue against becoming a little more liberal in that regard (current implementation can be a bit of a pain) but others might. --kingboyk 21:45, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In other cases (here one but without the brackets and here one with the brackets!), I've seen AWB fixing it. It's a common mistake people to put [[]] instead of bold letters and AWB was working fine with that. -- Magioladitis 14:59, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm.. Whatever way, it needs sorting. Reedy Boy 15:03, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Found the error. When you have it to sort by "Skipped By" or "Skipped Reason", and there are blank things (which is the actual bug - they should be filled out), it cant compare "", so therefore causes an exception —Reedy Boy 16:03, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I get the same "Value cannot be null" error when I try to do nothing more than try to click "File, New Settings File" or apply my preferences. Would that happen if I had connection problems? --Kbdank71 21:08, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The new settings file uses the same area of code. It would usually happen due to connection problems - it all loads fine for me, and i know my internets fine.. And there hasnt been a mass reporting of the bug, so presumably its not the code —Reedy Boy 21:11, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it's a connection problem. If I click on Profiles, then Login as selected, it loads the login page, then reports login successful, then it gives me the error message. This never happened until today when it updated to the new version. But if nobody else is having the problem, it must be a local issue. Thanks anyway for the help. --Kbdank71 21:21, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Still trying to figure this out, and getting nowhere. Question: if I were having connection problems, would AWB be able to check if I'm using the right version? I re-installed version 4.1.4.2, and I'm getting prompted to upgrade. --Kbdank71 21:12, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It checks it against Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage/Version. 4.1.4.2 is disabled, so hence being prompted to upgrade —Reedy Boy 21:16, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
So what is it choking on in the error above? Maybe I'm not understanding what the issue is. --Kbdank71 21:24, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That loads the interwiki page. Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/IW - It then parses the data into an array. A null reference means the array points to a new instance of an array, with nothing in it. Null is essentially blank. So if its blank, its not entered anything into the array. Presumably because it wasnt able to load the page... —Reedy Boy 23:24, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
So the old version can load Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage/Version but the new version can't load Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/IW? I think my days of using AWB are sadly over, as I don't have a clue how to fix that. --Kbdank71 14:58, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rules in Finnish Regex TypoFix list not always applied

Status New
Description In fi:Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Typos we have a rule for accidentally repeated words: 
<Typo word="Toistetut sanat"
find="(\s)(että|hän|ja|kuin|kun|ne|noin|oli|on|se|tai)\b\s+\2\b"
replace="$1$2" />

For some reason, this rule is now hardly ever applied. I haven't been able to pinpoint precisely when the rule is ignored, but I was able to create two test pages where the AWB behaviour is different for two identical paragraphs. Silvonen (talk) 16:25, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To duplicate: Set your project to Finnish Wikipedia, enable Regex TypoFix, and add the pages Käyttäjä:Silvonen/Test1 and Käyttäjä:Silvonen/Test2 on the list. AWB finds the repeated word "oli oli" in Test2 (containing other errors), but not in Test1 (containing no other errors than the repeated word).

Reference-class to reflist error, part II

Status New
Description This bug was allegedly fixed at Wikipedia talk:AutoWikiBrowser/Bugs/Archive 4#Incorrect reflist fixing, but apparently not (or it's since been undone). Basically, for "mixed" reference sections that include both cite.php references and hand-written references, the old <references/> style is still needed. That way, there can be a div references-small, the cite.php references, the manual references, and then a closing of the references-small style div tag. AWB is incorrectly replacing the opening style div + a references tag with {{reflist}}, causing the manual references to not have the smaller references-small style and leaving a hanging /div at the end; see this edit for an example. A fix would either be to not attempt to use reflist if the div / references / close div tags are not immediately adjacent, or, if you must replace with reflist for some reason, to swap the locations - that is, change <div style="references-small"> <references/> to {{reflist}} <div style="references-small">.

I do not think this is a AWB problem, but it maybe a AWB user. If you can show more occurrences of this, then the AWB team should look in to this.--pete 21:47, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And also, 4.2.0.0/4.2.0.1 werent released till the 25th - 5 days AFTER that edit.. So that would've been on the old version. The user, however, shouldnt have just being making those edits... —Reedy Boy 22:09, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, that's easily checked. I just restored the Devil article to the version with old-style references; does AWB's suggestions still include replacing the div & references with a reflist? SnowFire (talk) 22:36, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think in this article references and notes should be separated. Apart from that all these kind of problems can be skipped if under reflist the user adds references with the references-small class. -- Magioladitis (talk) 22:57, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think that it's awkward to mix numbered and not-numbered references. -- Magioladitis (talk) 23:18, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(de-indent) re:Magioladitis: Uh, I have to say I disagree with your edits there. First, regardless of preferred style, AWB (seems) to be breaking the editor's intent here and leaving hanging div tags, making invalid markup, so that's bad and needs to be fixed no matter what.

Second, I think you misunderstand what's going on in that article; if anything, the section you have entitled "References" should be "Footnotes" and your "Notes" called "References." The manually written entries are further-reading general reference material, while the material generated from the Reflist are direct footnotes. This is a style established in many featured articles; see (picking at random...) Rhodes blood libel, for instance. It still doesn't really apply even if the names were swapped to the normal style, though, because there's no good distinction here. They're all references for the article, and the notes are not necessarily from the actual books cited, so there's not much point in separating them. (I suppose I could see renaming the non-inline references "Further Reading" at most, but only because I suspect they were added as that, not as genuine references for the article.)

Third, as for the "what about this?" change where Reflist is used but the div location is swapped... that is acceptable, and that's actually one of the solutions I proposed above. The only thing about swapping the locations is that it's a bit inefficient - if you view the source for Reflist, you'll see that it opens a div with references-small then closes it. Then, in your version, it opens another div with references-small, then closes that one too. It's the rough equivalent of Not bold, '''This is bold,''' '''and this is bold too''' vs. Not bold, '''This is bold, and this is bold too'''. The first is an acceptable alternative and not really a problem, but it's a bit inefficient since it needlessly stops and starts the formatting.

Anyway, did you use AWB, Magioladitis? The point of bringing up the Devil article as an example was to ensure the latest versions suggest that kind of replacement and it isn't a bug only with the older ones (though I suppose someone wanting to test could revert then see what AWB says). I'd also be curious if someone with AWB can see what is suggested for G. William Miller, which has a non-inline reference above the references rather than below it. SnowFire (talk) 00:03, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the fact that AWB ignored that the div section isn't closed and replaced the rest it's a problem/bug and has to be fixed. Moreover, I apologise for naming the sections incorrectly in the Devil article. -- Magioladitis (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 00:22, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
