AWB moving a sanctions template

| Description | At this diff [8] AWB moved this template to a lower position in an article talkpage: {{Austrian economics sanctions}}. The template should go in the #4 position of WP:TPL.

- S. Rich, I think this was a manual edit. I'm using the same version of AWB and also use the same custom module for talk pages as the AWB editor did. It didn't change the position of the template. Josve05a, can you confirm. Bgwhite (talk) 04:04, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
- rev 9589 adds support for this template to AWB. @Srich32977: The AWB maintainers don't magically know about new templates that are only 6 days old. You must notify us when the template is created, not complain after the event. Rjwilmsi 10:44, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

A soft hyphen is incorrectly added inside words
| Status |  Not a bug in AWB, has been referred
|
|---|---|
| Description | AWB seems to put a soft hyphen (U+00AD) inside some words before performing the regular expressions, which means the wrong regular expressions are performed. It happened in the Swedish article "Vit stork" (= White Stork) where the word "Västeuropa" (= Western Europe) occurs. It exists no regular expressions that shall change that word since it is correct spelled. But the following seems to be done: 1. A soft hyphen is added, so the word looks like this: "Väst-europa". 2. A regular expression changes "europa" to "Europa" since it now is misspelled. 3. Another regular expression changes the misspelled word "Väst-Europa" to "Västeuropa". After that the word looks like it did from the beginning. The following comment is generated by AWB: "clean up, rättar stavfel (= corrects spelling): europa → Europa, VästEuropa → Västeuropa". I can also see on the screen that the word "Västeuropa" becomes hyphenated if I make the AWB window narrow. Svensson1 (talk) 00:53, 14 November 2013 (UTC) |

Making AWB work on another site
Other wikis I'm pretty ignorant about programming and although I've learned a little about regular expressions from AWB, it's a far cry from being able to modify it in any meaningful way. I'd like to use AWB on non-Wikimedia Foundation sites—Freedom Defined, WikiIndex, and Wikitravel. Can someone explain to me what I have to do to make this work? When I go to Options -> Preferences -> Site -> Project: Custom and insert a URI, I get the following error:

Then I tried wikitravel.org/en/, since I remembered that they do different language editions as subdirectories rather than subdomains.

Does anyone use AWB on other projects? Has anyone else experienced this? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 06:18, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
Koavf I use AWB in wikias. In your cases I get a pop-up window and then AWB is disabled. I get no exceptions. Let's see if other get something else. -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:36, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
- @Magioladitis: Has anyone used it other than on WMF or Wikia sites? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:37, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
- Koavf, I have. It was on http://sarkarverse.org and it has been within the past month. I was using SVN 9572, which is a "beta" version. I was using the same custom settings I do on Wikipedia. I did not use SSL. I did not see any problems. I just tried again. Using SVN 9643 and standard settings. I did not have any problems. Bgwhite (talk) 07:59, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
- @Bgwhite: Huh. Have you tried Wikitravel, WikiIndex, or FreedomDefined, by chance? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:05, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
- Koavf, sorry I thought you meant any outside projects. Sarkarverse is a site in which I already had an account. I just made an account at Wikiindex and logged on just fine. I tried several pages, but didn't see any errors. Of particular interest, I saw the newly created page, Nudist History Wiki. After reading the article, I have a feeling I won't get any more work done for the day. I owe you :)
- Do you have .Net 4.0 installed? With "beta" versions you have to compile AWB yourself. You can grab my copy from here. Bgwhite (talk) 08:51, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

Josve05a I have written than talk page fixes are not perfect and are not indicated for Automated fixing. Maybe I have to update the manual of AWB.

User:Josve05a This is the string construction for the en.wiki, please provide me the correct one for the svwiki: "added " + names of tags Added + " tag" + "s" (if more than 1 tag added). -- Magioladitis (talk) 00:28, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
- @Magioladitis:, " added "=" lade till en ", " tag "=" -mall (or just mall, together with the tags name se e.g. #3) ".
- If more than one tag is added then the summary should just say wich tags it was (+ the -mall) with commas and och (och=and). Not adding anyting at the end.
- E.G. (if only one) Lade till en okategoriserad-mall.
- E.G. (if two) Lade till en okategorisserad-mall och en ickewiki-mall.
- E.G. (if multiple) Lade till en okategoriserad-mall, (not en if it is between first and last) ickewikimallmall och en [Other template]-mall.
- It should have -mall if templatename ends with a consonant and together with the templates name without a " - " if it ends with a vowel.
- @Josve05a: I don't want to use "och" only commas. Can you please rewrite the examples without "och"? -- Magioladitis (talk) 06:38, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
- @Magioladitis:, sure, I'll try. But the Swedish language is...strict.
- If multiple templates have been added, don't write out the names of them, just write:
- Lade till åtgärdsmallar. (åtgärdsmallar = Wikipedia maintenance templates)
- I know tht that was not what you really asked for, but that is the only logical way to not use "och" in the summary. -(t) Josve05a (c) 10:19, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
- @Josve05a: I don't want to use "och" only commas. Can you please rewrite the examples without "och"? -- Magioladitis (talk) 06:38, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
@Josve05a: How is "removed" in Swedish? -- Magioladitis (talk) 08:35, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
@Josve05a: I updated the edit summaries. I noticed I used "Lade till en" but in your examples you use "lade till" without "en". Moreover, I used "tog bort" for "removed". -- Magioladitis (talk) 08:42, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
- @Josve05a: @Magioladitis: As Josve pointed out, English is a bit more accepting, partly because it's not quite as agglutinative as Swedish. While English can add two elements like Magioladitis specified ("added " + names of tags Added + " tag" + "s" (if more than 1 tag added)), this does not work in Swedish. Swedish tends to create hyphenated and compound words easily, so you would normally have "added " + names of tag Added + " och " + names of tag Added + " tag" + "s" (if more than 1 tag added). And if you want to be picky, you should really have: "added " + names of tag Added + "- och " + names of tag Added + "- tag" + "s" (if more than 1 tag added) [with a hyphen after the first tag and the second tag name but before "tag"], like so: "lade till okategoriserad- och ickewiki-mallar". I hope this helps.//Hannibal (talk) 12:22, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
I will removed "en". Per my Swedish friends it's like English in that aspect: "Added template" vs "Added a template". And in plural you wouldn't use "en" since that is "a". I would therefore recommend that you skip the "en" part. -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:52, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

- I might be wrong but I thing AWB tries to move the template to "External links". But when no such header exist, it simply deletes the template. I might be completely wrong but I have tested on a few pages and in some with a "External links" AWB has moved it [16], and some that does not have it [17] it just removed it. But as I said, I am just speculating. -(t) Josve05a (c) 23:15, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Article with PUA characters being skipped without warning
| Status | Resolved

BTW, I'm running through my watch list, and the changes I'm making work with many articles. I don't know if others are being skipped, but AWB worked fine with List of Latin-script tetragraphs and other similar articles. — kwami (talk) 01:49, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
- kwami Check the log tab" Page has character in Private Use Area (PUA). We skip these pages because some characters are incompatible with AWB's edit box. -- Magioladitis (talk) 02:01, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, but AWB normally issues a warning that it is skipping the article because of PUA. Pashto language, for example. (Though I can't find the PUA character in that article in order to fix it so AWB can edit.) So it's still a bug.
- And where's the log tab? — kwami (talk) 02:04, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
- kwami I get the warning as usual. The Logs tab is next to Edit box, History, What links here on the right. -- Magioladitis (talk) 02:10, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
- kwami the PUA character is next to the "strident vowel". -- Magioladitis (talk) 02:12, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
- kwami I removed the characters, did general fixes and put the characters back. -- Magioladitis (talk) 02:20, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for that. I sub'd them with their code numbers so AWB will be able to edit it in the future.
- Ah, found the tab. Thanks. Quite a few articles are being skipped without warning, so I'm reverting the 'resolved' status.
- How do you ID the PUA characters? I'd like to fix the other articles, but have no idea how to look. (I mean, when the article is too long to just spot them by eye.) — kwami (talk) 03:06, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
- kwami I get the warning message. So it works for me. Moreover, when I am logged in with my bot account (or I uses the pre-parse mode) I don't get the message but I see the article in the log. Since you found the log tab, check if you see the skip reason there. Also check if you are in bot mode or in pre-parse mode and report your findings. -- Magioladitis (talk) 08:33, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
- I don't know what bot mode is. As above, I was not in pre-parse mode, which I know has never given warnings. The skip reason in the log was PUA. — kwami (talk) 08:36, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
- BOT mode.... Brain Off Today mode or as Magioladitis and I say, a normal day. :) Bgwhite (talk) 08:42, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
- You should get a warning popup once when in normal mode (not pre-parse, not bot), and only once. That page, and other pages with PUA characters will then be skipped and put in the logs tab. If you save your settings and restart AWB do you then get the warning popup once? We have to skip pages with PUA characters as the C# RichText edit box does not seem to support them, we can end up with any text after the character (could be most of the article) getting deleted. We use C# regex "\p{IsPrivateUse}" to find PUA characters. Rjwilmsi 08:51, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, that seems to be it. Thanks. Could we adjust AWB so a warning is generated each time an article is skipped? — kwami (talk) 10:11, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
- We could, but I think most users (including myself) would find it annoying to have the popup multiple times. Rjwilmsi 10:37, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

Meno25 why the page had both uncat and uncat stub? -- Magioladitis (talk) 19:09, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
@Magioladitis: There were 3 consecutive edits. First: my bot added dead end, orphan, stub and uncategorized stub tags. Second: Another bot using different code edited the article to add wikify and uncategorized. Third: My bot changed the uncategorized tag added by the other bot to a duplicate uncategorized stub tag. --Meno25 (talk) 19:27, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
@Meno25: so I guess the other should be fixed not to add uncat tag when uncat stub tag exists. -- Magioladitis (talk) 22:31, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
@Magioladitis: Actually there are 3 bugs here:
- The other bot shouldn't have added wikify because the article already contains dead end.
- The other bot shouldn't have added uncategorized because the article already contains uncategorized stub.
- AWB shouldn't have changed uncategorized to a duplicate uncategorized stub tag. --Meno25 (talk) 02:58, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
@Meno25: If I had to choose I would say the AWB bug is the least important. :)
Moreover, what happens if page has uncat and uncat stub and it is not a stub? Would you want us to remove the uncat stub instead? What is the rule yo want? "If uncat and uncat stub co-exist do nothing"? -- Magioladitis (talk) 05:21, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
@Magioladitis: To answer your questions:
- "what happens if page has uncat and uncat stub and it is not a stub?": Remove uncat stub and keep uncat (providing the page is indeed uncategorized). If the page is not a stub and categorized then remove both uncat and uncat stub.
- "What is the rule yo want?": If uncat and uncat stub co-exist in an article, check if the article is categorized or not and check if it is a stub or not and:
- If article is categorized and is not a stub: Remove both templates.
- If article is categorized and is a stub: Remove both templates and add {{stub}}.
- If article is uncategorized and is not a stub: Remove uncat stub and keep uncat.
- If article is uncategorized and is a stub: Remove uncat and keep uncat stub.
For each of the above check if any added template is already on the page and don't add it if it already exists. (There should be no duplicate tags on the article.) --Meno25 (talk) 07:21, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

Fram any chance that you had much too many pages loaded or saved? -- Magioladitis (talk) 15:10, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
- No, I was getting the Newpages (500 pages). Normally this goes smoothly, but not this time. A second try didn't cause any problems, so it may have been a one-time glitch. You can ignore the "ListMaker Text; criminals" above; when you choose NewPages, the box below gets grayed out, but the text of a previous search remains there (in this case, a category:criminals" search). It doesn't influence the result set. Fram (talk) 06:54, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

Automatik can you check your Find and Replace box? Is it empty? -- Magioladitis (talk) 00:14, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
- Sure I can, and it's not empty. Automatik (talk) 01:24, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
- Automatik The remove tags are related to Find and Replace options as far as I remember. You can try it. Make a copy and then remove everything inside the "remove" tags and tell me what changed in your settings. -- Magioladitis (talk) 10:26, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
- If I remove from my customized preference file all what's inside "remove" tags, then the result in my Find and Replace is not changed.
From what I understand, when I start the software, my default.xml file is loaded. Then, when I load an other pref file, it seems that all the articles inside "remove" tags (each article is inside "string" tag more precisely) are passed to the new loaded file - the case is similar when you have a list of terms (in "Make list") and then change preferences. That's why when I save my prefs in this loaded file, the file becomes very heavy. But I don't know how to access the default pref file, and that's my problem, I think.

- Yea, I kept seeing the Ranma articles pop up up for #6 and I kept ignoring them.
½should *not* be replaced by1/2as / should not be included in sort values. There are a few other articles with fraction in their title. I think this is a case of putting the articles on the whitelists and ignoring them. There are no good options available. Bgwhite (talk) 23:22, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

How did this occur? -- Magioladitis (talk) 01:03, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
- While pre-parse a batch of 600 articles for typos. I set it going. After about the first 30 or so articles I logged out of Wikipedia(in my browser) and walked away. When I came back a few minutes later this error was up.
I suspect it relates to my logging out(had this cause issues before).Why AWB should be interested in my login and password while pre-parse typo checking is beyond me. Regards, Sun Creator(talk) 01:20, 8 September 2012 (UTC)- Twice more today the same error but both times I was logged in with the browser. Regards, Sun Creator(talk) 00:08, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
- Can you reproduce the bug on demand? -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:42, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
- No, I've tried re-typo-scanning on the same articles in the same way several times, but mostly without the error so no pattern to it at all. Regards, Sun Creator(talk) 12:57, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

- Oops, I copied the wrong article link...this page, this revision. -(t) Josve05a (c) 23:44, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
- OK now I can reproduce the problem. I believe that AWB's general fixes only add the "http://" if the URL is within a citation template. Some of the typo rules are written to prevent changes to URLs, but I'm not sure it's worthwhile to add that extra logic to every typo rule. GoingBatty (talk) 23:53, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
- GoingBatty, Josve05a since it is a typo rule that needs (or does not need) update, I can close this as "notawb"? -- Magioladitis (talk) 14:30, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
- @Magioladitis: Sounds good to me, since typo fixing is never done by bot, so the AWB user should see the bigger issue is that the URL should be fixed. GoingBatty (talk) 21:04, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

(On sv.wikipedia, typofixes are done with a bot) (t) Josve05a (c) 21:18, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
- Josve05a this is very dangerous. Typo lists contain a lot of errors. -- Magioladitis (talk) 21:33, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
- Josve05a Just to clarify, on sv.wikipedia, are typo fixes are done with an AWB bot? GoingBatty (talk) 01:04, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, on sv.wikipedia.org there are a few typo-bots" using AWB. Most of them are "checked" manually" before saving, but not all. -(t) Josve05a (c) 14:57, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
- This is a reason why the should not or why the should create a very restricted set of typo fixes rules. In English Wikipedia typo fixes are revised far too often. I can leave the bug report for Rjwilmsi to check, but I believe it is better that we do not go in the direction to make set of rules that tweak typo fixing. Thinks will get far too complicated. -- Magioladitis (talk) 18:05, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

GoingBatty I guess the problem is that {{about}} does not support enough parameters. Maybe update {{about}}? -- Magioladitis (talk) 11:16, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
- @Magioladitis: ...or just don't merge the two when the {{for}} template has links to more than two pages. GoingBatty (talk) 15:36, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
- @GoingBatty: the problem is with the "and" parameter after the 3rd position. -- Magioladitis (talk) 15:41, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
- @Magioladitis: Correct! Since {{about}} doesn't have enough parameters to support the equivalent of a {{for}} template with the "and" parameter after the 3rd position, my vote is to just not merge them at all. My guess is that there probably aren't enough cases with this many links to warrant updating {{about}}, but maybe I'm wrong. GoingBatty (talk) 15:48, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
- @GoingBatty: You are right on that. In general there is a hatnote overload on this page. The "related content" should be a "See also" section. -- Magioladitis (talk) 15:54, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

- @Magioladitis: Frisia has a different problem when merging the templates. GoingBatty (talk) 02:52, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
- Other articles with issues include Kharja, Askari and Mercier, Montreal. Most of AWB's suggestions were spot on. GoingBatty (talk) 04:40, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
- I noticed the change of a single {{for}} to {{about}} in case there is only one {{for}} with less than 4 arguments but I think it is not a big issue.
- On Frisia the rule should be to merge before the "other uses" argument.
Done On Kharja the rule should be to add "other uses" as a first argument of "for".
I think all of them are rare though. Please confirm. -- Magioladitis (talk) 06:24, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
- @Magioladitis: Sorry - forgot to mention that I used the list comparer to find all articles with {{for}} to {{about}}, and these were the only errors I found. So yes, I believe the errors are rare and you can probably fix the articles manually. GoingBatty (talk) 06:37, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

@Josve05a: adds the format most used in the page. All formats added are acceptable forms. -- Magioladitis (talk) 00:59, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Removing and re-adding dates shows the contrary. -- Magioladitis (talk) 22:51, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

@Josve05a: I don't see any guidance at Template:DEFAULTSORT or MOS:FOOTERS regarding if blank lines are recommended before it or not. Is there somewhere that provides recommendations? Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 05:53, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
@Josve05a: -- Magioladitis (talk) 00:28, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
- I have not found any documentation about it. But since every-other page has a space between normal templates and DEFAULTSORT/categories, than I think this is just common sense.
- Plus the the toolserver tool DABFIX is using WP:MOSDAB-rules and that that tool is placing a space in between, then I think that is the common practise. -(t) Josve05a (c) 00:34, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

What do you mean it doesn't work? Find and Replace uses a big textbox that supports newlines. So they "disappear". There doesn't seem to be an obvious way to make the treeview control, see [25]
Also, looking at the code, this is done purposely:
private string ReplaceNewLines(string str)
{ // Display line breaks as \n in the results tree so that they're clear
return NewLineRegex.Replace(str, "\\n");
}
Reedy (talk) 22:18, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
- @Reedy: Sorry I wasn't clear. I meant that in the big result box, "\n" is displayed as "\n" instead of showing the line break. So the example above shows "foo\nbar" instead of "foo" on the first line and "bar" on the second line. Since you're indicating this is working as designed, I've added a note about this in Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/User manual#Tools. GoingBatty (talk) 00:15, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
Are we talking about the same thing? When you click on "Find" in the Regex Tester, it's perfectly fine and desirable to display "\n" in the tree. But when you click on "Replace", I thought that it most definitely should display as an actual new line rather than "\n". When I first encountered this years ago, I naturally assumed that the output of the Regex Tester was an accurate reflection of what happens in the actual Find and replace, so I figured that \n did not work correctly in AWB's regex implementation, and I performed some strange contortions to handle this perceived deficiency until I eventually discovered how it really works. I guess it doesn't matter for people who have been around and realize how it's handled, but new users could certainly be confused as I was. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 07:20, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
