The best new feature for version 4 would be releasing it. Therefore I implore testers to give the alpha version a good going over this week, and as long as there's no serious bugs in article editing we should release v4.0 beta to the general user base asap. Trivial and cosmetic bugs, if any, can wait, as can feature requests. My tests with v4 (mostly with my plugin) have been pretty positive so I hope we can get this out soon! --kingboyk 23:25, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Description | Is it possible to get a full list of articles in a category and its subcategories all the way down to the bottom of a category tree? ie. expand fully with one click, rather than expanding level by level? Carcharoth 15:52, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
I think it would be good if AWB could make a list of articles in a given category and recursively add the articles of the subcategories of the given category. --ZeroOne (talk / @) 10:41, 12 May 2007 (UTC) |

This feature was added a while back, but it's just too buggy with infinite loops and stuff. Use the workaround that Reedy Boy mentioned above instead. —METS501 (talk) 18:03, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
A semi-automated solution is what's needed here. The user must select which subcategories are trawled, but the software does the trawling, sorting, duplicates removal, etc. We definitely need to cut down on the number of mouse/key presses needed and make this process easier. (I had this planned but had pc problems, see User:Kingboyk/AWB) --kingboyk 22:44, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
This feature is already implemented (including proper handling of circular references and duplicates), but after discussing possible strain on servers with Simetrical on WP:VPT it was restricted to debug builds only. I'm not ready to enable it unless we have constent from MW developers. MaxSem 03:45, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
This is what I had on my AWB to-do list. Would this be OK? Is there, then, code I can call or recycle to do this?

So, working directory, is where the file you want to run is. File name is obvious, arguments, is probably how you want to pass it the article text or similar. If you want me to change the module to write to a text file the article text (something like input.txt), i can do. Reedy Boy 11:12, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Added in revision |
There are loads of pointless templates that invoke <references/>, and people keep adding more. We must either have a 1000% reliable way to detect all such templates, or not fix this problem automatically at all, because too many fully-atomated bots run with general fixes nowadays, we cannot afford giving them a chance to screw articles. Besides, lack of <references/> is not that common mistake. MaxSem 10:30, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

It's because all general fixes are intended solely for mainspace, other pages either don't need such conversions, or these conversions would be harmful. General fixed would definitely break too many templates, that's why we use them only for articles. WONTFIX. MaxSem 05:58, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

It seems to me that AWB changes superscript to a smaller font, which is a bit too small too see. The wiki editing tool boxes have quite recently included superscripts and subscripts, which have become standard on the wiki.

Try to set up AWB to edit Wikipedia through the secure server. You will find that this is impossible because AWB assumes the URL starts with "http://" when in this case it starts with "https://". AWB should just ask the user to type out "http://en.wikipedia.org/w/" instead of "en.wikipedia.org/w/". Then, if the user types "en.wikipedia.org/w/" anyway it's safe to assume they meant HTTP. —Remember the dot (talk) 21:11, 8 August 2007 (UTC) |

Description | Improper list sorting is a major problem on Wikipedia, on stand-alone lists, in see also sections, etc. Thousands of lists on Wikipedia have sorting errors in them. An option to sort bulleted lists would be very helpful. The sort feature would have to take into account sub-bullets, and keep them under the appropriate list entry. Columnization would also need to be taken into account, as well as link brackets. Concerning sorting, when an item begins with a link that has a pipe, the pipe part should be what that item is sorted by. To make the sorting truly great, the sorting feature should recognize persons' names and sort these by surname (followed by the first name for continued sort order).

//remove undesirable space from beginning of wikilink and move it outside link (up to 30 characters in wikilink)
ArticleText = Regex.Replace(ArticleText, @"\]{1,30})\]\]", " ]");
//remove undesirable space from end of wikilink and move it outside link (up to 30 characters in wikilink)

//remove undesirable double space from middle of wikilink (up to 61 characters in wikilink)

//remove undesirable double space between links in date (day first)
ArticleText = Regex.Replace(ArticleText, @"(?i)(\\]),? ? ?(\\])", "$1 $2");
//remove undesirable double space between links in date (day second)

Description | 1: In the Make list section, change the dimensions of the Filter button so that the whole text fits on it
2: In the filter dialog box, switch the buttons for talk only and non-talk only namespaces so that they are more logically associated. Harryboyles 08:17, 10 March 2008 (UTC) |

For no 2 - Errm... The "Talk only" button is under talk... And "Non-talk only" under non talk pages...? And for no 1 - Thats all that is on the filter button... Is "filter" —Reedy Boy 21:08, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Description | Option to prevent duplicate entries in article list: when I create a list of articles from various searches duplicate entries may occur, which I can then remove using the duplicate entry filter. However, I'd find it helpful if there were an option to prevent/automatically remove duplicate entires in the list. Thanks Rjwilmsi (talk) 20:45, 11 March 2008 (UTC) |

Description | Small request from new user, so sorry if already old news. I just find it a niggle to have to click on the arrow right/left buttons in order to move between the "(2) Set options" and "(3) Start" tabs -- could the number of tabs between them be reduced somehow (say by hiding the "Bots" tab by default?) or maybe make the widths of the three areas ("(1) Make list", tabs, Edit box) adjustable? Otherwise looks like a nice piece of software so far. Sardanaphalus (talk) 19:13, 11 March 2008 (UTC) |

Have now just seen #Hide "Bots" tab above, so I guess my request is related! Adjustable widths for the three areas as well might be nice. Sardanaphalus (talk) 19:15, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
