Novels WikiProject
Yes I have just started using it, no problems so far. However, As a project were have just added a new task force "19th Century task force" with a parameter of "|19thC-task-force=yes". This is about to be added to the banner, so is it too late to get this added as a separate tag option on the plugin. It should go just above the "Australian" with an extra menu separator, as it is a new period based task force. Thanks. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 08:51, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
- Added for next release. Steve, SVN Rev 273/274. If you need/want it before then, give us a shout —Reedy Boy 16:37, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
Automated tagging
Hi guys. I'm probably being really thick here, but can/how-do you automate assessments by Kingbotk? I thought that getting an account approved as a bot would open up all sorts of goodies on the bot tab of AWB, but not enough. ;-/ I'm generating offline a List - imagine it as a CSV file with Articlename, Class, Importance on each row. In the first instance, this is using a generic template for the Italy Project, but there will be more to come - do I need to do soemthing to the template? Ideally I want to be able to just show AWB that CSV and get the plugin to apply the Class & Importance to the appropriate article. More practically, I'm happy to semi-automate it - I'll put in a group of articles that are all Low Starts say, and the plugin assesses them, then I change a setting somewhere and feed in another group of article names for Mid Starts and so on. Am I missing something or have I just misunderstood what is possible with the plugin, and I'll have to roll something myself with the help - sorry, theft :-) - of your regexes? FlagSteward (talk) 16:13, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- You cant do automated assessment, really... You can do automated stub tagging by telling the pluging that the plugin that they are stubs (built say from a Category:xxx-stubs or whatever). —Reedy 20:32, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- Ach, I had a feeling that was so. Off to regex hell then for me. ;-( But as a feature request that should be reasonably doable from what you've got now, can we have a new mode that instead of opening up the article then a popup and then the Talk page, instead opens the popup once at the beginning and then applies those settings (eg Low Start, no infobox) to a whole series of Talk pages one after the other? So it's remembering what was said in the original popup rather than requiring you to enter the details each time, and it expects you to have made the assessment decision by some other way that doesn't require eyeballs on the article itself. FlagSteward (talk) 00:07, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
- That's pretty much what the stub-class tagging does. Having it do other classes in the same way would be pretty trivial. Also, as below, you might consider hacking a plugin or module which accesses my tab or sends a keyclick... --kingboyk (talk) 21:44, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- 'Stealing' (let's say "liberating" :)) my regexes would still leave you with quite a lot of work to do to replicate the other logic in the plugin. Perhaps you could write a code module or another plugin which reads your CSV and then clicks the checkboxes on my plugin tab? Or, if you're VB.NET capable you could get ask me for access to the source code and either add this as a feature or just hack a copy for your own use. I think this is very much a minority request so I won't likely be doing it myself. Cheers. --kingboyk (talk) 21:33, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- PS Since you speak regex perhaps you might have some ideas about the bug report I've replied to above? --kingboyk (talk) 21:34, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- Unfortunately I don't know .Net (suppose I really should at some point, I know) just sussing AWB regexes compared to "proper" Perl ones is bad enough. :-))) In fact using your regexes in the AWB Advanced Find & Replace seems to work well enough for my purposes, at least in the testing I've done so far - after all I'm only dealing with one Project and for this bulk stuff the Talk pages tend to be not too cluttered. Just an ability to apply "Low Stub" to the contents of the AWB article list in auto mode would be a big win for me - typically that's what 95% of my articles are. To give you some idea of numbers, the France Project has about 50,000 articles, of which 5% have been assessed for importance, and about 20% have not even been assessed for class. 10,000 articles even at 12 edits per minute is still nearly 14 hours of solid work..... Fortunately the Italy Project is now down to about 1000 unassessed articles with tags, and then another 5000 or so with no tags that can be done by prepending in auto mode. Talking of autostubbing, I don't know if you'd be interested in developing the ideas on the user page of User:FlagBot into a "auto-class" mode for the plugin, the numbers on there seem to "work" for class assessment in the Italy Project, although I may have to make them a bit more conservative for the France Project - I was still a bit surprised how well class assessment worked to be honest, and it really helps speed up assessment if you already have the class in place, if you know the subject well enough you don't need to look at the article, you can just tag Talk pages with importance based on the article name alone. It would also help speed assessment if you had the option to select default values for the popup. Talking of that, you need to include the option List and FL classes, I've needed those occasionally.

- Will do when I've a moment. On the FA for lists thing, that was how it was done in pre-FL days, it's now deprecated but I guess the only Projects that might still do that are those that use the "narrow" set of classes. BTW, hope you've not tried to send me more mail, I've been having intermittent total email failures this week - grrrrrr. Oh, and FlagBot is now up and running - it's a bit less automated than I hoped, but so far it appears to be working OK.... FlagSteward (talk) 13:48, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Request to add new taskforces
Hello, We have added two taskforces, Chennai and Television, on the India project banner. Could you please add these to the India plugin page? The parameters are chennai=yes and television=yes respectively. Thanks, Ganeshk (talk) 01:38, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Can you please add a plugin for Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools? That would be really useful.
The template supports the following parameters |class=XX |importance=YY |needs-infobox=ZZ |info=AA |page=BB |move=CC |nested=DD }}
I don't know if this is a generic WikiProject template or not (the last 2 parameters are confusing me). -- Magioladitis (talk) 14:29, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
- Best place to request is here — Dihydrogen Monoxide 23:38, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure about this. It seems to be mostly generic. class= works without info= being present (despite what the template instructions say; also /Comments pages were designed to do this job...). move= is irrelevant to automated edit and not particularly helpful when editing manually either I think (unless I'm missing something). nested= the plugin would just ignore.
I'll leave this up to Sam (Reedy Boy) as he'll do the work, but I think setting up a generic template would probably suffice? If you need any help, or if you disagree (i.e. bcos I've overlooked something) please post again. --kingboyk (talk) 19:13, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Think I might have placed this wrongly
Whilst you are working on this could you enable "cut and paste" for the "Category" field of the "Logging to file" tab of the plugin, Thanks. It is just proving to be a right pain without. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 15:04, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- Don't understand. That textbox already has cut and paste doesn't it? Seems to work for me... am I missing something? Coincidentally the listmaker textbox now has (when category is selected in the dropdown box) a "paste to category box on log to file tab" menu item. BTW: The control you mention is actually part of AWB now, so pse report it as a bug there if it's broke or needs improving, and a little clearer pse cos I don't know what u mean :) --kingboyk (talk) 14:01, 19 January 2008 (UTC) (in true bureacrat fashion, I shall probably pop up again if you report it there, I may then send you to another department staffed by me :P)
- All I know is that when I set up my BOT run, having selected all the articles I need to work through, I have the category name in the selection field above the article set. What want to do is set the logging "Category" set easily from is. So to get is a mouse select the category name itself. (i.e. "parody novels") and then move to the logging field. and control-V. Nothing, so a took it that cut and paste is not implemented for the field. By the way the "Current job name" field works fine, it is the field above that is the concern. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 09:22, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
{{AfricaProject}}
Mostly a note to self I guess. Has a massive number of workgroups. Might be too many to sensibly do programatically. Hopefully they won't need plugin support but if they ask for it it might be an idea to try the idea I had of putting template config out of code and into xml. Perhaps users could paste into a text box or similar control the "=yes" parameters they want to set.
Supporting that template would also require the ability to migrate (many) old WP banners to a new banner and parameter=yes. We already have the regexes to explode banners of course, the ability to add or replace parameters in code, and the ability to replace a template with a parameter. So, the functions and routines are mostly there already but would have to think about how to integrate it into a not-fully-programmed plugin per the above paragraph, and it would need either lots of regexes or one very complicated one with supporting logic. Of course hopefully some simple scripts will be used to tidy up and remove those old WP templates which this replaces and it won't be an issue.
Things to think about, should they come knocking. --kingboyk (talk) 19:32, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Plugin hangs
Not sure if this is an AWB issue or a Kingbotk plugin issue. It's only started happening since I upgraded to AWB 4.3.0.0, and still happens in 4.3.0.2. I didn't have it happen before 4.3.0.0, but I had only been using the plugin for a couple of days before upgrading.
When working on a list of pages using a combination of a generic template (this one) and the Biography plug in, the plug in sometimes hangs after clicking on the generic assessment boxes, but before loading the talk page. It seems to hang consistently on certain pages (here and here), even when I restart AWB from scratch. (Darned if I can find what's different about those pages, either in the page itself or something I did). I tried letting AWB work on loading the page for an hour at lunch today -- it took up 95% of my CPU time, and made no progress in an hour.
Any ideas? I love the plug in, but the constant freezes are getting old. :) --Fabrictramp (talk) 22:04, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- This may well be a regular expression problem. I've tagged thousands of pages with the new version during the development/testing phase, but still had the occasional freeze - albeit not as frequent as you appear to be getting. Sam has mentioned an occasional freeze too. My guess is that, in laymans terms, the pattern I use to try and find banner shells needs some more fine tuning. I'll try and look at this soon (please ping me on MSN Reedy if I don't attend to this). --kingboyk (talk) 21:29, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- Just as a thought - the Baseball tag has a hyphen in its name, and has a hyphen in the needs-infobox, plus WPBIO in those example has a needs-infobox. Does it only happen on baseball articles with needs-infobox and/or another hyphenated attribute? FlagSteward (talk) 17:23, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
- I'm only working on baseball articles with needs-infobox, so yes, that's when it happens, but not always. I'm home with a bad cold today, so I'll try to experiment some more to see if I can narrow down when it happens. --Fabrictramp (talk) 15:03, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- In a small test, including the two examples above that caused consistant hangs, I have no problem when only using the generic template. If I add the biography template to the mix, frequent hangs occur, so it's something in the interaction between those two modules. Sounds like I have to stop doing the biography folks a favor and just work on the baseball template. :( --Fabrictramp (talk) 16:24, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- That might not be a bad idea for now, but I promise to try and get this fixed soon. At least I now have a few pointers to help work out what the problem is (see the bottom of this page for more comment). --kingboyk (talk) 11:59, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- Let me know if you need me to test run anything when you think you've got it fixed. (And thanks again, this really is a great plug in! Doing this by hand would be the pits.)--Fabrictramp (talk) 14:08, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Generic Tagging
I've read over every User Manual I can find and still can't figure this one out. I'm trying to tag articles under Category:Ohio with {{OH-Project}}, but every edit I try to make AWB says Skipped by: Kingbotk Plugin Manager, Skip Reason:Incorrect namespace. When I make a list I filter it to keep Talk only namespaces and still something's not quite right? Any advice? Thanks. §tepshep • ¡Talk to me! 15:23, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- You need to filter it to keep mainspace only pages, or convert the talk to mainspace pages using the "list" menu. As the plugin gets to each page, it will add the appropriate talk page to your list.--Fabrictramp (talk) 15:56, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Aha, thank you very much. §tepshep • ¡Talk to me! 21:16, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Possible Bug
I've only tested this on my computer a few times. When I compile a list of Category:People by city in Ohio by recursive category, when AWB gets to Talk:Ara Parseghian to tag it the whole program stops responding and has to be shut down. Is this the plugin, AWB, or just me? Thanks for your time, §hep • ¡Talk to me! 01:33, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- The Illinois banner has two importance='s, which might confuse things? What happens if you remove that "manually", before putting it through AWB? FlagSteward (talk) 03:14, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- See also #Plugin hangs —Reedy 11:03, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- I removed the double importance and it still hangs, maybe it has to do with the Bio stuff. It works if I remove it so I just filter it out now (until it comes across another bad one). Thanks for the help! §hep • ¡Talk to me! 21:37, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- Pretty sure it's a bug in the regular expression which looks for banner shells. Somehow it gets stuck in an infinite loop. I'll try and look into it over the weekend; if I can't fix it I'll post the regex so somebody else can try. Cheers. --kingboyk (talk) 21:15, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
- See also #Plugin hangs —Reedy 11:03, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
If it helps at all every page I've had it get stuck on has |blp=yes/no| in the banner shell, i.e. {{WikiProjectBannerShell |blp=yes |1= §hep • ¡Talk to me! 01:41, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- That may well help, yes (or it may be a red herring, who knows? :)). Thanks for telling me. Looking into this is on my todo list, but so is Flag Steward's feature request and some new features for AWB I want to have a go at, but I'll get to it as soon as I can. Please hang in there! Cheers. --kingboyk (talk) 11:57, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- Don't worry about me - killing fatal bugs always take priority, although they're much less interesting to do... I would note however that Talk:Ara Parseghian has an OH-Project tag in conjunction with a WPBIO tag, whereas the other problem was with a WikiProject-Baseball tag in conjunction with a WPBIO tag. Since hyphens are always going to cause problems with regexes, I'd focus my attention on how Projects with hyphens in their name interact with your regexes, particularly when there's WPBIO on the page. FlagSteward (talk) 13:42, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Nesting
On Talk:USS Akron (ZRS-4) the plugin ignored the WPB banner and didn't nest the template. I left it how AWB left it so you could exactly what was done. Any ideas? Thanks! §hep • ¡Talk to me! 19:30, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
class=image
Would it be possible for the plugin to detect (when tagging) if an article was in the image space and give it a class as such. Similar as to how template and category tagging works. Thanks. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 02:28, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- Yup, quite easily i suspect... Will look into it, i suspect, its most likely just have an option on teh GUI for NA/Image, and then duplicate the code for template/category and such —Reedy 12:39, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

- As an aside.. Is this part of WP 1.0? —Reedy 11:57, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
- Nope, it's a "non-standard" assessment used just for WikiProjects. So when they're assessed, on the 1.0 charts that are generated, they appear just as assessed with no class shown. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 16:42, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Banner standardisation
I've not seen it mentioned here, but I'm sure some people in these parts will thoroughly approve of this proposal : Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Banner standardisation - the idea is to have every banner in the form "WikiProject xxxx". Just as someone who tries to courtesy tag articles with "other" projects when I can, the non-standard ones drive me up the wall, particularly the really odd ones that you can't even guess (and no handy redirects!) like {{Tel Project}}. And if you're trying to do anything with bots then standard names make it sooo much easier, even if in the short-term we'll have more redirects to deal with. FlagSteward (talk) 19:19, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, I definitely approve of this idea. Mainly because a) it is neater; b) since they will all be standard, the banner will be in agreement with consensus; c) it will be easier for bots to maintain them (adding, substituting, etc.). — Parent5446 ☯ (message email) 19:31, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

- A suggestion.. If yourself, or one of the other members have Visual studio or Visual Studio express for VB, you could do the legwork to speed up the implementation of this. Its not difficult to do in the slightest, just is a little time consuming to get all the code in. The Plugin is included in the SVN repository, and requires a few different lines of code (14) adding aswell as the actual checkbox on the deisgner. If you want some more help with that, i'm usually in the AWB IRC channel and can help out. It would also allow you to organise the checkboxes to your liking easily. You could then either send me the updated files, or provide a diff file, and then i can get it into the SVN and the plugin updated ASAP —Reedy 15:50, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

- rev 3255 - You'd missed out the XML bits of code, so i added them =) —Reedy 10:20, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
Template:WikiProject Baseball
I know people are busy with other things, but if this can be done easily, I'd be forever grateful. (Well, at least for a long time. *grin*)
Any chance of adding Template:WikiProject Baseball to the pre-done templates for the plug-in? At last count, we have at least 3K more articles to tag, plus a few thousand to add stuff like needs infobox or needs image. The generic template is working well, but has a couple of issues that are really slowing me down.
Issue one is that the "Photo requested" checkbox in the "Settings" window isn't working, so I have to manually paste in "image=yes" each time. The other huge slow down is that I have to manually paste in the task force (I'm currently working on the players task force, but if the others had a simple check box, I'd tag them, too.)
Thanks in advance!--Fabrictramp | talk to me 15:28, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
- For the custom Plugin, yes, it can be done, just its a bit time consuming to do it. As above... You could do it yourself, if you wanted...? Would get done quicker. Can help you if you wanted... ;) —Reedy 16:02, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
- I've never done anything in VB (actually, I haven't done any programming since before VB came out; back then, Pascal was the hot language. Try and find a Pascal compiler now! LOL), but my motto this year is "try new things", so I'm going to dl it and have a look. I'm sure I'll have a ton of questions (may not be for a few weeks -- house guests are coming soon). Thanks!--Fabrictramp | talk to me 16:47, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
- Heh. I may get chance to do it soon. You can more-a-less copy another one and alter it to match —Reedy 16:53, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
- Copying was definitely in my game plan. :) I just took a look at the code for India (as something to copy from), and it looks very understandable. But feel free to beat me to it. *big grin*--Fabrictramp | talk to me 17:00, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Taskforces
I've been looking around and I thought I read somewhere that there was a way to add an individual taskforce to the template while AWB adds it. Yet I can't seem to be able to find anything on how to do it. Is there any implementation or am I losing it again? :D Thanks! §hep • ¡Talk to me! 21:06, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
- Yep, I must have lost it. Re-read things a couple times. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 18:59, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
Support for C-Class
Please add {{C-Class}} to the list of assessement classes in the assessment mode. Thanks, Ganeshk (talk) 04:48, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
Using Assessing function
Would it be possible to do the assessment while still looking at the main page (instead of the talk page). Then when you click ok, it automatically saves that talk page and loads the next page to look at? At the moment it is very slow to use ... -- maelgwn - talk 06:52, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
Suggestions parameter
The WikiProject that I assess for, WP Devon, doesn't use this parameter (any more), so how can I stop it from automaticaly adding it? bsrboy (talk) 21:59, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
class=cat
When the option is selected to autotag for category, it replaces "|class=cat" to "|class=Cat" . Is there is a way to avoid this ? This leads to unneccassary edits and may be given an option ? Thoughts ? -- Tinu Cherian - 08:47, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
- The plugin shouldnt be allowed to make an edit if thats all thats changed... —Reedy 16:26, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
Upload
A couple of users had requested this feature. Is it possible to add an upload option so that users can upload the class and importance parameters? The data can be provided in a CSV file format and the plugin will need to auto-update the talk pages. Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 01:24, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
Bug?
In this edit, plugin removed an existing importance tag of another taskforce? Can this be looked into? Thanks, Ganeshk (talk) 03:04, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
- Hmm... never seen anything like that before. Could you take a look Sam? I'm snowed under at the moment. --kingboyk (talk) 16:55, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
- See this Plugin removing a previous importance tag of another workforce -- TinuCherian (Wanna Talk?) - 17:12, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- I have a similar bug for {{WPBiography}} Plugin. (See here). This is during the manual assesment, Whenever there is a empty "|living=" just after WPBiography and "|class=" after "|living=" , it removes "|living=" line ( The diff shown "|living=" added is manually by me) . -- TinuCherian (Wanna Talk?) - 11:08, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- I don't think that's a bug. That's the way it's always worked I think, putting class and priority first. No data was lost in that edit unless I'm missing something (which I may be as I'm a bit stressed out at the moment!) --kingboyk (talk) 21:39, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- It removed "|living=" automatically !( The "|living=" you see is second diff is manually added by me. -- TinuCherian (Wanna Talk?) - 12:14, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- This is the exact issue diff [2] -- TinuCherian (Wanna Talk?) - 12:46, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

See this It removes an empty task force importance paramter while manual assessment. Can somebody look into this , plz ? -- TinuCherian (Wanna Talk?) - 13:06, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
( Moved the topic to bottom to grap attention )
The problem still persists. I am using AWB 4.4.0.0 . The issue is that it removes the empty task force importane parameter ("|taskforce-importance=") when adding something again to the banner. -- Tinu Cherian - 15:38, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
I get a Bad Tag message for every edit I am doing and the tags are ok. Is there any problem? -- Magioladitis (talk) 23:34, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
- Yep, it's known. You need to download the latest rev of AWB from Sam's webpage this should do it. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 23:37, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
- It was working, I grabbed the latest snapshot and it's not working anymore. Any ideas? If you want to look at my XML settings I'll put them in my userspace. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 21:38, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

- Support for the "Task force" specific "importance" tags would be good to if that can be manage - I know a number of projects have implemented these. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 16:34, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Should be able to. Might have some time later on today... Not difficult, just takes a while to add the stuff! —Reedy 13:18, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
rev 3457 finished it off. —Reedy 15:41, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for that - when do we get the next release with it in? :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 06:06, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
- Its in the latest SVN snapshot. Otherwise, there will be a compulsory release in the not too distant future —Reedy 08:59, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
