This still isn't fixed BTW. Headbomb {^ταλκ_{κοντριβς} – WP Physics} 21:19, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Waiting on bugzilla:19523 to fix this in 4.9/5 —Reedy 16:03, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

NB for me. Remove any related options to gui based settings that we dont need in newer versions —Reedy 06:38, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

FWIW, I'm guessing that once bugzilla:19090 is live (it's fixed, but not part of the current branch that is live) you can fix this without having bugzilla:19523 resolved. Amalthea 20:54, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, thanks for the heads up, we have already catered for that. We still really need to be able to get the watch status of the page, so we can set the watch button appropriately, to allow pages to be watched/unwatched on demand. —Reedy 22:16, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

This is still a problem currently, any idea when the fix will be live? --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 06:59, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Although i forgot to post the svn revisions here, this part of the bug is actually fixed... We are still waiting on 19523 so we can properly label the watch/unwatch button. If you grab a 4.9/ApiEdit version, all will be well, and this should work as expected! Just no manual watch/unwatch button —Reedy 09:02, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Just upgraded, looks like it should work fine. Thanks. --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 09:21, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Of course. If you want to recreate the error, copy the text of the linked old version somewhere and run AWB on that. --Auntof6 (talk) 08:50, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Was just checking ;P. But that wouldnt work, as AWB was fixing self links. Would have to copy to test or similar! —Reedy 10:05, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Oh, that's true! :) I'll leave it to the experts to figure out how to test it, then! I supposed you could revert the article temporarily if there isn't some kind of test database. I wasn't working specifically on delinking titles when I came across this error, so I don't know if it's doing the same in other cases. --Auntof6 (talk) 10:32, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Just posting a bug I encountered, given AWB's request I post it here—my guess is that this is probably just an issue with running AWB on a school computer. It failed with this bug if run off the (network?) H: drive assigned to me, but when its folder was copied to the desktop it ran fine. {{Nihiltres|talk|log}} 15:21, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

I suspect so, im sure this has been reported before... Depends on the network setup to whether running stuff works from a network drive (IIRC it works fine from my uni network drive, i just get pestered to hell with javascript script debugging) —Reedy 18:22, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Got this today at work too on 4.5 when running from network, but off pen drive it was fine. Rjwilmsi 21:03, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Suspect we should try and trap it and offer some advice... —Reedy 21:12, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Does AWB even get started up? AS im thinking its line 39 of Program.cs —Reedy 21:51, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

AWB does not start up. While trapping the error would be useful it would be nicer to understand why the error occurs (I have full read/write to the network share, Firefox runs fine from there). Rjwilmsi 08:05, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

It seems AWB see it as a normal template, so it's moved just under portal. But this templates must be just upon the interwiki links. Example here. Perhaps you know this problem, so can you add support for {{Lien BA}}, {{Lien AdQ}}, {{Lien PdQ}} for frwiki ?

Text by By Dan Mabbutt taken from http://visualbasic.about.com/b/2008/10/19/object-reference-not-set-to-an-instance-of-an-object.htm

Since reference types are actually pointers to memory, their value can be "Nothing". That is, there is no memory address. This can happen in a variety of ways and that's why this error can be so frustrating. The possibilities include:

• You never assigned anything to the variable.
• You never created an instance of the value assigned to the variable.
• You set the variable equal to Nothing, or a called function did the same thing.

• Note that this would be a potential feature, gathering the refs in the references section leads to much cleaner wikicode.
  • That's why it was introduced. ☺ Future possibilities for improvement apparently include allowing a style attribute directly on <references>, so that CSS styles for multi-columnar layout and the like can simply be specified directly. Uncle G (talk) 02:51, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

See User talk:Rich Farmbrough#My stalker, SmackBot, cannot cope with new wikitext markup, User talk:Uncle G#Refs, and indeed the wikitext of English Defence League#References, for why sorting the elements within <references>…</references> is a bad idea, and why elements that are within <references>…</references> should be just left alone in the order that they are written by human editors. Uncle G (talk) 02:51, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

• Okay, there are two issues here. First is that {{reflist}} is inserted, that will be simple to fix. Second is that the refs are reordered in the <references>…</references>, which I can also fix. If we'd be advised of this new MW feature in advance I could have made the changes in preparation. Rjwilmsi 08:18, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

It's certainly advertised now. ☺ These particular problems, and some links (including to that poll), can be found at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 65#New wikitext syntax and 'bots. For what it's worth, I found out about this from the wikien-l mailing list. The mailing lists are your friends. ☺ Uncle G (talk) 09:31, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

It was talked about, I was vaguely aware. People get to exercised over ref styles. I am to busy with WP to read my email. I meant a feature for AWB to gather the ref-cruft automatically. I added a new workaround to the bug now I am awake. Rich Farmbrough, 11:06, 24 September 2009 (UTC).

• Oh I still don't see the harm on sorting the references. But I see the benefit. They occur in four contexts,
  1. The body of the article
  2. The footnotes to the article
  3. The body of the code
  4. The footnotes to the code
• Why should 4 be in a arbitrary order? Rich Farmbrough, 11:09, 24 September 2009 (UTC).
  • OK I looked again you sorted by source, for articles with many ref.s this would be useful. Opens up the whole "page number" and ibid debates though. Rich Farmbrough, 11:13, 24 September 2009 (UTC).
    • Exactly! It's useful. This new syntax is purely for editor convenience. That's why it exists at all. See strategy:Proposal:Move references out of article text. It doesn't change what the reader sees, but it does provide more flexibility in how the editor can write. As noted, one of the things that it provides new flexibility for is having references listed in some order that is actually useful for editors, such as (in this case) grouped by publication, without that order being as a consequence imposed upon readers (as would happen, say, when doing the same thing with {{ref}}/{{note}}). This isn't the page for any referencing style choice discussions, or really for an extended discussion of what tradeoffs the use of this new syntax involves. (We can do that at the Technical Village Pump if needs be.) The major point here is that AWB scrambles any wikitext ordering that editors, for their editorial convenience (the very raison d'être of the syntax), have used this new tool to achieve.

{{Reflist}} now has a |refs= parameter to support list-defined reference system (LDR).

I really liked this feature, as I fix a lot of these dates myself

1. The problem with the AWB auto-changes is 2-fold:
   1. They don't fix any of the dates that are ambiguous
   2. They remove hints on how to fix ambiguous dates.

It's really the second point that's the problem. When I do an AWB run fixing these dates (manual) I skip any pages with both xx/XX/xxxx and XX/xx/xxxx (where XX>12) or neither.

Its not between versions per se, ie its not the version change that breaks it, its the adding of new list providers... —Reedy 19:26, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I get that. That's why I'm suggesting that the index number stored in the XML be constant for a given source. The order the list is displayed in the select drop down can be independent of that - driven off a separate sort-key. Rich Farmbrough, 21:20 12 February 2009 (UTC).

Yeah... Its working out what this sort key should be.. Or how we generate it.. —Reedy 15:50, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Ok so what we have is like this

1 cat

2 links

3 text

If we make the list of links the number 2 is stored in the XML. If another method is added (or indeed we simply re-ordered the list of methods) thus

1 cat

2 cat recursive

3 links

4 text

the XML now points to a different method

If instead we had a list sort order and a unique id:

1 1 cat

2 2 links

3 3 text

and we add a new method

1 1 cat

2 4 cat recursive

3 2 links

4 3 text

the XML now points to the same method.

There is a discussion in Wikipedia talk:AutoWikiBrowser. Obviously not an AWB bug since till yesterday it was working for all of us. I updated to version 4.9.0.0 (rev 5386) and works fine -- Magioladitis (talk) 22:36, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

AWB worked fine yesterday, but not today. Tried v 4.9.0.0. I get in, it works for a few minutes and then unlogs me. Hmains (talk) 19:26, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

I got this to temporarily and now it works ok. I guess that the new wikimedia software had some teething problems initially. Snowman (talk) 13:00, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

I thought that was what AWB was doing. Moreover, in the edit you show us the uncategorised tag wasn't moved to the bottom as it should. -- Magioladitis (talk) 18:06, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

I just tried this again at Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Sandbox and the same thing happened; it just delinked the title without bolding it. Please note that for that edit I deactivated my custom gen fixes module and just applied the normal built-in general fixes. As for the uncategorized tag, I suspect that that wasn't moved either because my bot is set not to auto tag articles or because it doesn't sort meta data. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 18:37, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

It's always worked for me, like here. It should only do it for articles, so AWB was correct in not doing it for your Sandbox example, but the Andrew Mwangura one is puzzling. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 19:16, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

rev 4327 Partial fix: self links in lead section are converted to bold (if no bold title in lead section already). Self links in the rest of the article are later delinked. Custom modules must call EmboldenTitles before Fixlinks for this to work, I've updated the example on the Custom Modules page. However, I'm not sure if this is going to be 100% the desired behaviour as some articles seem to use self linking when they want bolding in other parts of the text. Before running any bot against pages with self links using this logic we need to see if this new behaviour reliably the correct thing to do. Rjwilmsi 11:01, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Seems fair; I'll bring up a discussion at the CHECKWIKI talk page. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 12:50, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Given AWB will not fix a wikilink as it's deemed to be spelled accurately (point 1), that AWB does not check for the typo matching against such links is a contradiction (point 4). Therefore, rev 5537 don't apply the typo if it matches on a wikilink target. Points 2 and 3: user must take care. Rjwilmsi 22:40, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Could you please at least add a warning not to treat names like words? Even experienced and careful editors apparently make this mistake, as shown by this example. Would it be easy to have AWB simply recognize all uppercase changes and produce a simple dialog box pop? This could remind the user that all names, and not only of people, very often have different correct spellings for different users of the name. --Espoo (talk) 07:14, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

That's not a route I want to go down. Typo fix users are already advised to check each change and look out for exceptions. If a typo fix has too many exceptions it can be removed from the list. If a particular user makes lots of errors then a discussion is needed with them. Rjwilmsi 10:44, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Would you agree that there's a fundamental difference between automatic searches for typos in uppercase and lowercase words due to the fundamental difference between strong spelling standardisation for lowercase words and the opposite situation for many uppercase words? --Espoo (talk) 11:02, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Well- I had the same problem with the restarts, it seems that the add all to watchlist is the culprit - at least for me, when I changed it to MW preferences, it works fine trakesht (talk) 06:55, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

That does indeed seem to be the answer. When I turned off add all to watchlist AWB started working again! So, what was all that about the servers? Perhaps this is an easy fix now? Gaius Cornelius (talk) 21:14, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Awesome guys, thanks. Thats certainly a narrowed down test case, presumably being the server at fault (or at least, the way AWB is handling it). I shall have a poke later on.. Changing it in the MW preferences helped? (Or was it AWB's option) That's a bit strange, as AWB's options *should* AFAIK override those of MW, and therefore they not matter. Marking as new again, will look at verifying it later on. —Reedy 12:31, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

For me, it was changing AWB's option that did the trick. Gaius Cornelius (talk) 12:53, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Really good catch guys, easily found problem in code, MaxSem fixed rev 5573. Thankyou! —Reedy 23:57, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

I don't know if it's related: While it was loading I double-clicked on the tray icon. Moreover, I experience some connection problems. -- Magioladitis (talk) 00:01, 19 September 2009 (UTC) I can't find it in the archives but google tells me that this was reported in the past (4.9.0.1, revision 5303) and Reedy tried something in rev 5310. -- Magioladitis (talk) 00:12, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

This should be fixed by now. The problems occurs in the following cases:

• You never assigned anything to the variable.
• You never created an instance of the value assigned to the variable.
• You set the variable equal to Nothing, or a called function did the same thing.

Now th tray icon loads after all variables are set. -- Magioladitis (talk) 19:24, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

PasteMoreItems[item].Tag = s; PasteMoreItems[item].Text = PasteMoreItemsPrefixes[item] +(string.IsNullOrEmpty(s) ? "" : s.Replace("&", "&&"));

I think in AWB/AWB/UserSettings.cs the pointer s still has the problem. -- Magioladitis (talk) 19:28, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

No, per Wikipedia:DISAMBIG#Usage_guidelines the disambig templates are at the top. Rjwilmsi 21:27, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

In fact, the protection template should be rendered first. The Manual of Style is not so detailed. It's not AWB's bug but we could add in the manual of style that protection templates should be above DAB links. From my experience the correct order is: Protection templates, DAB links, xfD templates, the rest. -- Magioladitis (talk) 21:34, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Wasn't it your feature request Magioladitis that had the Dablinks moved to the top? Rjwilmsi 06:46, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

• Since the hatnote itself is also protected, it makes sense from an ordering perspective to have the protection template at the very top. –xeno^talk 16:34, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

If Wikipedia:DISAMBIG#Usage_guidelines is updated then I'll update AWB. Rjwilmsi 17:24, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

I made a section at Wikipedia talk:Lead section#Elements in the lead: where should the protection template go?. –xeno^talk 17:29, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

• Stylistically, when there are maintenance templates it looks better below the protection template. Notwithstanding my comment that the protection applies also to the hatnote, the hatnote should be the first thing seen just in case the user landed at the wrong article. The discussion I opened is leaning this way as well (though it is very lightly trafficked). –xeno^talk 15:14, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

AWB auto-changes YYYY-MM-DD dates

Description	AWB automatically changes dates from the YYYY-MM-DD format, to some other format. Here are some examples of the problem: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. A sample of over 1000 recent edits with similar problems can be found here. These edits were all installed within the past few hours by Rich Farmbrough (talk · contribs), who has been notified of the problem but seems to think it's OK to use AWB to do this sort of massive date reformatting. I guess that this is a recent change to AWB. There is definitely no consensus to make this sort of change to date formats. For example, see Wikipedia:Mosnum/proposal on YYYY-MM-DD numerical dates for the most recent discussion on this topic, in which the strong consensus was not to require rewriting dates away from the YYYY-MM-DD format.

Description	AWB got stuck when saving a page. It occured when I left it alone for a couple of minutes and spent my time on other computerstuff. It didn't work to [stop] and [start] the thing, it didn't work to reload the settings or login again (was still logged in). After restarting AWB everything worked fine again and I didn't saw this bug again.

I am having this same problem. AWB gets stuck trying to save. Only solution seems to be restarting AWB, but it gets stuck again after a couple of dozen edits. I have no idea what causes the problem, but it has happened to me many times in a row. Gaius Cornelius (talk) 19:47, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Probably server's problem and not AWB's. -- Magioladitis (talk) 21:35, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Section AWB always restarts on save below. Does that answer this question too? Gaius Cornelius (talk) 12:55, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

I am archiving this one. Feel free to re-report if happens to 4903+. -- Magioladitis (talk) 17:49, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

From support.citrix.com:

CAUSE: ASP.NET Web Services sometimes use the system Temp folder when they process WebMethods. If the thread that is processing the request uses an identity that does not have read/write access to that folder, you receive the error message.

RESOLUTION: Give read/write privileges for the Temp folder to the ASPNET account. When ASP.NET Web Services process WebMethods, the identity that is used most frequently to gain access to the system Temp folder is the local ASPNET account, which is the default account under which ASP.NET applications run. -- Magioladitis (talk) 10:12, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
