probably erroneous correction

• Dunno if this qualifies as a bug, but on Wichita Linebacker AWB wants to change "John Enbom" to "John Embom"• Lingzhi♦(talk) 02:36, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
  • plus didn't catch charcaters --> characters on [[Final Fantasy]. • Lingzhi♦(talk) 02:54, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

@Lingzhi: The first issue doesn't qualify as a bug - it's an issue with the typo rules that AWB uses, which I have now fixed.

For the second issue, the rules don't catch every single typo. Since Final Fantasy is the only article that contains "charcaters", it doesn't warrant a new rule, so I just fixed the typo manually.

In the future, please drop a note at Wikipedia talk:AutoWikiBrowser/Typos to discuss changes to the typo rules. Thanks, and happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 03:12, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Duplicate Typo Rule AND Version v5.7 of AWB does not find replacement as it used to

Resolved

Hello each time I open AWB (v5.7), that I use on Wikipedia FR, I get the following error as seen in the following screen clipping :

Bug AWB - Duplicate Typo Rule.

Using the past version v5.5.6, I never experienced the issue. No mater how many times the app is restarted, and I am not so sure what to do.

Also and more important, since the new version it barely find any changes to make on pages which defeat the purpose of the application.

Finally lots no units work properly anymore (example: finding 10 000 km does not offer to change to {{Unité|10000|km}} automatically - same goes for Kg (kilograms), distances etc...) Is this in the list of known bugs ?

For me the last part, is the most important issue, as it nearly renders AWB unusable.

Your help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. — Ludopedia^(Talk) 18:55, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Re: the typo error, I'm not seeing it in my copy of AWB, and I don't think we have the rule shown in the error display even one time. Is there a separate French typo repository it checks? Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 19:17, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

I just checked the French typos (which I just discovered), and indeed, a duplicate find with a different replace was added on August 30. That needs to be checked out by someone over there. Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 19:24, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

@Stevietheman:, I do thank you so much for your reply ! Thanks for confirming "we don't have the rule shown in the error display even one time". I also understand now that this is an error which is localized with the French typos of AWB. This is very helpful. (I am not sure at all how this works, but it is a start I can post a message on the FR forum now). Merci beaucoup ! — Ludopedia^(Talk) 04:41, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T111315 Declined

@Stevietheman:, I'm the one who created the duplicate find with a differente replace. That's too bad that AWB can't handle properly such things, at least not blocking the tool completely. I added the rule to provide 2 different replace for things like ,'' (coma, 2 apostrophes, whitespace) so that it can be replaced either by '', (the 2 apostrophes are the end of italics for the word before the coma) or , '' (the 2 apostrophes are the begin of italics for the word after the coma). WPCleaner was happy with the 2 different replace, can AWB be modified to better handle such configuration ? --NicoV ^{(Talk on frwiki)} 05:28, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for filing on Phabricator. Assuming it is fixed somehow, I guess you may have to decide which is the more likely rule to apply and put that first (although I'm not sure if AWB exactly performs typo rules in listed order). Alternatively, this all may be a reason to not have any of the two rules. Typo rules are supposed to work for all cases, handling any exceptions that pop up so as to avoid false positives. Or, maybe the two find rules could be rewritten with different lookaheads/lookbehinds? Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 10:30, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Re: "since the new version it barely find any changes to make on pages", this could be happening because the pages have few or no issues to fix. After all, AWB's base fixes are pretty conservative. And as for converting amount values to using templates, I'm not sure AWB ever did that, at least not in the English Wikipedia. Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 10:36, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Here's a link to AWB's general fixes. You may want to open a feature request for the template addition request. In the meantime, you could create a find & replace rule to add the template. GoingBatty (talk) 03:12, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

I'm not interested in requesting any such change. Perhaps you are responding to the wrong editor? Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 14:09, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

@Stevietheman and Ludopedia: Sorry for not splitting my comment to make it clear which sentence was for which editor. GoingBatty (talk) 15:39, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

I already suggested that WPCleaner uses a different list for "Typo fixes suggestions". AWB will stay to what it does and we may consider using the created list in the future. -- Magioladitis (talk) 05:21, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Thank you to all AWB is now all working again like it used to, no more error message, which is great :-) — Ludopedia^(Talk) 22:22, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Incompatibility with Norton Internet Security

I have Norton Internet Security installed on my computer. When I installed AWB, Norton flagged most of the files as being a threat and deleted them. I was able to get around this by temporarily disabling Norton, but when I switched the computer back on this morning it went and deleted the files again. This essentially makes use of AWB impractical. Obviously something in those files is causing a false-positive (or maybe they really are infected). Can this be investigated and fixed please? Bazonka (talk) 07:54, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

Bazonka since this is a Norton Internet Security problem why not ask them to fix it? -- Magioladitis (talk) 08:00, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

It might not be a Norton error. As far as I know, AWB could be genuinely buggy. It's certainly causing Norton to react in a way that doesn't happen with any other software I run. Bazonka (talk) 08:07, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

Bazonka we still have to ask them what they think the threat is. -- Magioladitis (talk) 08:22, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

I'll try again this evening and let you know the exact error messages. Has anyone else experienced this? Bazonka (talk) 08:43, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

Bazonka Yes. It has been reported it again in the past. -- Magioladitis (talk) 08:57, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

I've tried it again and Norton descibes AWB as being an "Insight Network Threat" and that "There are many indications that this file is untrustworthy and therefore not safe". Reading further into it, this essentially means that it has too few users from the Symantec community to be able to get a decent reputation score. To resolve this, the developers need to submit it to the White-Listing program. See [2]. I suggest that this is done. Regards, Bazonka (talk) 17:21, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

After finding a link that actually would let me submit a report, I have done so. You may wish to make a report to them yourselves, as a user at [3] actually providing version information. Reedy (talk) 12:58, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Incorrect error correcting

Resolved

Ottawahitech It was not done by AWB. AWB treats this right. -- Magioladitis (talk) 15:43, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

That may all be true, but on the bot's page, it says it runs AWB. I guess the user who runs it should be asked if they always use AWB for their edits. Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 16:08, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Stevietheman there is an exception of 3 errors that BG19bot does by using a different script which is (supposed to be) better than AWB. I already contacted Bgwhite. Ottawahitech did too. -- Magioladitis (talk) 17:13, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

@Ottawahitech and Stevietheman:

1. The edit summary does not say AWB, so AWB didn't do it.
2. User:BG19bot says at the bottom that this job runs with a python script. The page says, This user account is a bot that uses AutoWikiBrowser,... It does not say ONLY uses.
3. The messed up section header was added by Ottawahitech on the edit before the bot's edit. This was detected by CheckWiki, which is how the bot was run on the article.
4. Bot was not incorrect error correcting. No heading starts with just one "=" per WP:BADHEAD. This is an accessibility issue as the edit summary states. The bot correctly fixed this. The bot still left the section heading unbalanced.
5. The section heading had two problems before the bot arrived and left the page with one problem.

GoingBatty, per Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage/Version, 5.8.5.1 and SVN are the only two versions currently allowed. I suspect people aren't told to update till after they log in. Compiling one's own AWB does cause "issues" in knowing what the "little" people need to update. Bgwhite (talk) 05:20, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
