The bug occurred after 30 hours of continuous run, and was accompanied by out-of-memory complains. There was not enough memory to run pull-down menus, there were a lot if red X in the AWB window and I got an error about "Screen-compatible bitmap cannot be created. The screen bitmap format can not be determined" when trying to exit. --Jarekt (talk) 10:34, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Technical 13 can you duplicate the bug on demand? -- Magioladitis (talk) 16:22, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
- I can. :) I suppose you want to know the steps to recreate... First create User:Magioladitis/redirect with
#REDIRECT [[User:Magioladitis/redirect]]... Then try to get AWB to create User:Magioladitis/redirect/redirect with#REDIRECT [[User:Magioladitis/redirect]]with the "Follow redirects" option on. It gets caught in an endless loop of redirects and can't figure out what to do. Perhaps a warning of "endless loop detected" or something instead of a "Report a bug" would be appropriate? Technical 13 (talk) 17:28, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
Technical 13 you reported this bug again 1-2 years ago. Our "fix" was at rev 8275 but related bug report in bugzilla is still unfixed. -- Magioladitis (talk) 21:05, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
- Mag, that is interesting. That fix and bug report seem to be based solely on Special: pages, and I recreated it here as a result of an endless loop of redirects. I would think they are separate issues that happen to cause the same resulting error message. Technical 13 (talk) 21:19, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
I updated Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Pages skipped by default. The special case described above should be added in the code. -- Magioladitis (talk) 20:42, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

Reguyla military.wikia.com uses "MediaWiki 1.19.9" can you please ask devs to update it to 1.22? -- Magioladitis (talk) 17:32, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you, I posted a notice here and I submitted a request to the devs. I'll let you know what they say. I suspect its probably either on a schedule already and just hasn't been done yet or they could be potentially waiting on some of the bugs to be fixed in 1.22.1. Since Wikia uses some other extenstions and features (like blogs) they might be doing some additional testing before implementing the patch. Just guessing though. Reguyla (talk) 17:45, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
- Reguyla thanks for the response! Let's see if this fixes the problem. I asked Reedy for further feedback. -- Magioladitis (talk) 18:02, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
- Awesome, I much appreciate the speedy assistance. Reguyla (talk) 18:05, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
- Crossposted from Wikia. A user submitted the following comment regarding the problem.
- "For any developers reading this, the error seems to occur on line 753 of WikiFunctions/API/ApiEdit.cs, when Action!="edit", which would seem to suggest that the page is not in edit mode when it's being saved. If I knew how to build from source, I could suggest some debug code (I've never used C# before, so it could be a trial-and-error)." Reguyla (talk) 18:16, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

- Reguyla thanks for the response! Let's see if this fixes the problem. I asked Reedy for further feedback. -- Magioladitis (talk) 18:02, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
- Lol. Wikia isn't going to be upgrading any time soon. Reedy (talk) 19:04, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
- Wikia make somewhat of a mess ontop of MediaWiki, and don't maintain it with the core software. Upgrading is a huge PITA. Reedy (talk) 19:16, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
CheckForErrors(result, "query");
try
{
Page = new PageInfo(result);
Action = "edit";
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw new BrokenXmlException(this, ex);
}
return Page.Text;
- You're presumably hitting some weird condition. If it was exceptioning, you'd get a pop up, and it would be cancelled; error handler and start processing that page again. But then you'd know it was erroring (and you'd presumably have said that). So there is some case where it apparently returns out fine, but not set.
- It's a hard thing to debug when it's not replicable on demand. Reedy (talk) 19:15, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks Reedy, I totally understand. I'll try and watch for it again and see if I can narrow in on the particulars of the problem. If it helps any I usually get it in bot mode. Only once have I gotten this with my regular account. I got it a couple times in template space and 5 or 6 times in article space. I am also an admin on the site so it shouldn't be an issue with accessing the article. I also verified the articles in question weren't being blocked by a blacklist or global block. If I can get it to come up again I'll take some notes on the instance and post it here. Reguyla (talk) 19:22, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
Error involving edit token in two semi-recent accounts on Wikia

I'm not entirely sure this is a bug, but I cannot figure it out, and neither can the person I talked to on the wiki that is affected, so I figured I'd at least try here. If this was not the correct route for this type of wiki, I apologize. Any help is appreciated. - Purplewowies (talk) 20:44, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
- This has now extended to my older account with no obvious changes in the wiki itself. - Purplewowies (talk) 16:22, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
- I have seen this error as well with my Wikia account and it seems to occur when dealing with files. AWB will work for a while then it will hit something it doesn't like and generate the error. Kumioko (talk) 16:26, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
- A bit jumping the gun I was with my last comment. It appears all the accounts there are wanting me to sign in twice on AWB before edits go through (something that did not occur before), which is... strange. Is that a bug? All three seem to actually work fine afterward, but... weird, I guess.- Purplewowies (talk) 16:31, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

Make list display becomes somewhat garbled when scrolling fast
| Status | New
|
|---|---|
| Description | When quickly scrolling up and down through a large list in the make list window (by clicking and dragging the slider in the scroll bar), some of the entries overwrite each other in terms of how they are displayed. The entries themselves are fine; however, some of the article titles have the names of the articles that were above them listed on top of them. For example, one of the entries of the list I have open right now is for New York State Route 470. It should read just "New York State Route 470"; however, the displayed text is "New York State Route 470" with the words "New York State Route 446" (the article above it in the list) overlaid on top. – TMF 19:22, 16 November 2009 (UTC) |

AWB cannot save letter + combining diacritic when a precomposed Unicode glyph is available
| Status | Need more information |
|---|---|
| Description | I'm making corrections to 800 IPA transcriptions of Burmese. Some of these involve changing a diacritic. Many of the vowel+diacritic have no combined Unicode value, and so I made the rules a generic combining-diacritic → combining-diacritic swap. However, some of the combos do have preexisting glyphs, and when saved, WP converts the combos into those glyphs. AWB cannot save a combo that this happens to. Although it displays the proper corrections in the edit box, when I hit 'save', it just restarts (in X seconds).
I can copy the edit box and paste it into any of the articles manually (I've done about 70), and that works fine. That gets to be quite tedious, however. I reported a similar problem some time ago, here, and that was chalked up to a server problem. However, it's been two days now w the Burmese stuff, and it's still happening. It's also always the same subset of articles.—kwami (talk) 08:24, 2 October 2010 (UTC) |
| To duplicate: | One example replaces a combining under-breve ( ̯ ) with a combining under-tilde ( ̰ ). I made the manual change, cut & pasted from the AWB edit window, here. Note that although I copied and pasted from the edit window in AWB, where the diacritics were separate combining glyphs, and that's still the case in the saved version in the page history with a̰, the page history has a precomposed ṵ, which was not produced by AWB. I reverted that change, ran it again, and deleted the under-tildas, and it saved fine here. It also saves fine if I delete only the tilde under the u,[8] but not if I delete only the tilde under the a.
That particular rule is regex under advanced rules, \{\{IPA-my\|([^|}]*)̯ to {{IPA-my|$1̰ (regex, case sensitive, apply 3 times, inside templates, no 'if' conditions). However, the same thing happens with the same diacritic in a 'regular settings' rule that changes ṵ (precomposed u-under.tilde) to ṵ (u + combining diacritic--I'm telling you in case the latter gets saved as the precomposed character when I hit 'save page' on this post, which I believe it will) under the 'normal settings' rules, and also the same thing with i instead of u. No boxes in the regular rules window are checked apart from 'enabled', but same problem as the regex rule. A different diacritic I manually overrode was here. The problematic part was correcting taʊ̀ɴ to tàuɴ. (That accent probably will be fused to the a when I save this posting, but in the edit window it is a separate combining glyph which I can delete by hitting the backspace key.) It only saves if I delete the grave accent over the a (that is, save to tauɴ [9]). That's a 'normal settings' rule that finds aʊ̀ and replaces with àu. There is another rule than replaces unaccented ʊ with u in certain environments, and that doesn't cause problems, so it's not the ʊ → u part. Also, when I replaced the combining accent à (which is easier for me to type inside AWB) with precomposed à inside the replace rule, then the problem disappears, as here. So I figure it's the combining diacritic. I replaced the problematic ṵ in first problem listed above with ʊ̰ (same diacritic on a letter which has no precombined Unicode character for it) and it saved just fine,here just as it did when I cut & pasted in the precomposed letter into the AWB edit box.[10] So it would seem to be specifically (1) trying to save a page with a letter plus combining diacritic sequence, when that combination would normally be converted into a precomposed character when saved in WP, but not (2) when saving the precomposed character itself, or (3) when saving the same diacritic on a letter for which Unicode (or at least WP) does not have a precomposed version. |

- Does this sandbox diff correctly represent the type of edit you want to be making with AWB (text from Thukha article)? Rjwilmsi 12:58, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, that's exactly right. I can get it to work if AWB converts u̯ directly into ṵ, but not if it converts into u+ ̰—kwami (talk) 19:15, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
- I was able to reproduce this once, but now can't get it to happen again. If I have understood your conclusion it's that the diacritic needs to be combined with the letter to the Unicode character for AWB to save. Therefore I suggest you try selecting the text and right-clicking to choose the 'Unicodify selected' option. Does it then allow you to save? Rjwilmsi 21:52, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
- It was already selected, but it made no difference: I can't save either way. (I assume that unicodifies input from existing sequences on the page, not output from AWB.)
- Yes, that was my conclusion. I think it might only be sequences that WP unicodifies upon saving, that there's a conflict between what AWB and WP are trying to do.

kwami We resolved this by skipping pages with characters in PUA. Am I right or wrong? -- Magioladitis (talk) 16:41, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
- @Magioladitis: No, this has nothing to do with PUA. It's a matter of replacing combining diacritics with precomposed glyphs within the defined Unicode range. — kwami (talk) 19:20, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
- Just ran a test, and it's still a problem. I simplified it to replacing "u" with "$1̰" in my sandbox. If I run it on "a" instead of "u", it saves properly. (There is no precomposed glyph with "a".) If I replace "u" but copy the result from the AWB edit window and paste it in manually, that also saves. But otherwise AWB skips the article with the log error (Filter by skip reason & Filter exclude skip reason) "MD5 hash error: The page you are editing may contain an unsupported or invalid Unicode character". That's clearly not true: The only thing in my sandbox was "a u a u", and AWB will save normally when the diacritic is on "a". (Here's where it saved when I manually deleted the diacritics from "u" but left them on "a".) So all three characters are valid unicode. What appears to be happening is that there's confusion with the precomposed Unicode glyph U+1E75 "ṵ". (Here's where I manually pasted the AWB edit-window result into the article, and that character is what the u+tilde saved as.)
- So this is what I conclude the problem is: If there is a precomposed unicode glyph C that is equivalent to letter A plus combining diacritic B, then AWB will skip an article rather than saving the sequence AB. WP has no problem saving an article with AB in it, but in so doing it replaces it with C. I suspect that there is a conflict between AWB and that feature in WP. — kwami (talk) 19:48, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

This continues to occur, and has been happening to me more often lately – about three or four times in the last week. I'm now using SVN 8062. I understand that discovering the cause of an elusive bug such as this can be very difficult. But it's inconvenient to have to close and restart AWB when it happens. Until it gets fixed, would it be possible to add an option (maybe in the "View" menu or a right-click menu) to add the scrollbar? Or can the program automatically check to see if the scrollbar is enabled? MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 06:43, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

- I've tried to make it happen by starting another program while AWB is loading or having another already-loaded program in the foreground when AWB starts, but in each case I got the scrollbar. I did see the scrollbar disappear during a session once. I finished one setting file with no scrollbar problems, then I started another setting file and the scrollbar was gone. It's possible that none of the pages in the first set required scrolling so I didn't notice a missing scrollbar, but I think that's unlikely. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 21:50, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

- Problems get left if there's no suitable solution. So on this one the problem as follows: we used to run typo fixing after genfixes: this would incorrectly add diacritics to sortkeys on en-wiki, where sortkeys should not have diacritics. Now we run typo fixing before genfixes, this means that if typo fixing adds the diacritics, genfixes removes them again, so better. However the edit summary can then be incorrect. We cannot simply stop typo fixing running on sortkeys, there may be genuine typos in sortkeys that we want to fix. The edit summary may contain genuine typos that were fixed plus sortkey changes that had no net result, so we can't simply blank the edit summary.
- We would have to look at a specific piece of logic that each time a typo fix was applied we check if it will just change diacritics in a sortkey, and don't do the change if that's true. But in programming terms this derivation isn't so easy: first have to determine if typo has matched in a sortkey by taking index of match, getting all category links and comparing whether match index within category links range. Then have to check if "fixed" word is only different by diacritics to original word. We could do this but I fear it's going to make typo fixing slower (every typo fix checked against every category), and add a very specific check that only affects a fraction of pages. I doubt it's really worth doing this. Perhaps if you think problems left for 6 months isn't acceptable you have a better solution that we've not come up with? Rjwilmsi 17:16, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
Magioladitis, Rjwilmsi for me it is not a matter if the summary gets gchanged or not. It is the fact that AWB wants to change Sao Paulo to São Paulo in e.g. 2014 Aberto de São Paulo – Singles, wich is making the keysort wrong. I did not make my self clear above. -(t) Josve05a (c) 21:07, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
- If the full solution is too complex, then I'd !vote for turning off typo fixing of category sort keys. I think it's better to miss a few corrections than to introduce new errors. The typo-fixer should not assume that general fixes are turned on. -- John of Reading (talk) 21:15, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
- A way to partially avoid this, in the case where only sortkey diacritics are being changed and changed back, is to check 'skip if no changes are automatically made'. Could AWB be changed to include some of this logic when 'skip if not typo fixed' is checked Jamesmcmahon0 (talk) 15:30, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

I guess we can fix this without rearranging typo fixing. -- Magioladitis (talk) 18:13, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
- Looked at this. Cannot make date fixes case insensitive due to "the 2th march down the street" false positives. Need to consider having typos run after syntax fixing from genfixes but before these kind of fixes. I would be concerned about the overhead of additional Hidetext calls. Rjwilmsi 20:17, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, there could be false positives with some monts (e.g. "march" and "may"), but not others (e.g. months ending in "ary" or "ber"), right? GoingBatty (talk) 04:16, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

Josve05a I am aware of the problem. I already sent an email to wmflabs. They should do something on their side to fix this. I do not want us to roll back to http since https was enabled till last week. -- Magioladitis (talk) 19:00, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
Reedy, Rjwilmsi I contacted WMFLabs since obtaining the list via https was possible till last week. In my email I wrote that "AWB fails, after recent changes in Labs server, to obtain text from html's body from https://tools.wmflabs.org/checkwiki/cgi-bin/checkwiki.cgi?project". And that "Obtaining text via http works fine.". This bevahiour has been confirmed by Bgwhite too.
The answer was that "That URL is working fine for me, and gives me a pretty table in http and https (and so is the one at the on-wiki bug report)".
More, interesting is that, according to NicoV, WPCleaner obtain results from both http and https. -- Magioladitis (talk) 17:24, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
- From Fluff Wikipedia (same person as Fluffernutter?): "Did a compare from awb and firefox. AWB uses TLS 1.0 and firefox 1.2 and in both cases the certificate is sent. But no key exchange is initiated from the server when awb tries to connect, thus the "network timeout" error." They attached two tcpdumps and can be here. Bgwhite (talk) 22:26, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

- Is there any reason to switch to https for Check Wiki on Labs, since there's no authentication? Should I go to https also for WPCleaner?

When the bot stops when saving a page and then restarts, a saved page is considered skipped in the "Logs" tab

| Description |  Hi. I just noticed that, in bot mode, with a delay of 0 seconds, if I click on the "Stop" button whereas the bot is about to save a page, it actually stops the activity of bot, but when I click on "Start" again, I see the page that is actually saved in the "Skipped" pages, in the logs, instead of in the "Succesfully saved" pages. See a screenshot on the right, and the page actually saved here, or this other example (the log shows this page too). Automatik (talk) 20:33, 31 March 2014 (UTC) |

| Workaround | As you can see for the second example (the page acipar), the time shown in the history for the registration of the page is earlier than the time reported in the log of skipped pages. It is possible that, whereas the registration takes place, adding the page in the log of successfully saved pages doesn't occur, then, once restarted, the program does not know we saved the page and so on puts the page in the log of skipped pages. |

Meno25. Not sure why it is sorting Ștefan Burghiu in the Ts. Something is wrong there. AWB follows the same sorting rules as Wikimedia follows. Ș would be sorted after Z. This is the reason for DEFAULTSORT and the sorting rule, "non-English accented characters, such as 'ź' with English counterparts, e.g. 'z'." Bgwhite (talk) 04:24, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
