Vortax1
Hi,

Last week, i've use AutoWikiBrowser a lot on fr.guildwars.wikia.com with my admin account but since it ask me to validate every minors edits, i've created another account for it nammed Vorlax1. Sparkla just gave it bot flag. But i still cant use it. It say "Vorlax1 is not enable to use this." and then send me there :. So i've set up this checkpage; still nothing.

I've ask for a little help on the english wikipedia, and one user there said Vorlax1 should be on the centralize checkpage. So i'm here to ask if we can try this because i really need to use this software. There's a list of bot resquest in fr.guildwars that just keep growing and growing.

Thanks. — TůζipVõrζąx Talk 21:35, 12 September 2007 (UTC)


 * AWB usage on all Wikia is confirmed only on the Central AWB CheckPage to prevent possible abuse of the software. I've added Vorlax1 to the list, so the bot should now be able to access AWB. :) GHe (Talk) 23:29, 12 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks, it can login now. But, maybe i'm too noob about this, now i can't make a list of page anymore. One day i will surely say it was worth the trouble but right now... I'll try to get help on Wikipedia. — TůζipVõrζąx Talk 01:10, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Just to keep you informed, i can make a list with a Google search. Strange. — TůζipVõrζąx Talk 02:07, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, i found out that it work a lot better if i downgrade to the previous version i was using last week anyway. But, it just keep asking me to upgrade and it will get annoying soon. But now i might be able to get some work done. — TůζipVõrζąx Talk 02:59, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I just got a respond in Wikipedia. The guy said that we need to install a file named api.php for the last version of the software. I've read the update notes but i was thinking since Wikia is so up to date... I think i'll go right away contact a staff to at least ask him if that sort of thing is possible and if that could be done to only one project. — TůζipVõrζąx Talk 03:06, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, i've got some infos about the future of AutoWikiBrowser on Wikia. To begin with version 4.1, it won't be usable on Wikia anymore because it want the api.php file to be located at the same path it is elsewhere. That is in http://....wikia.com/w/api.php and ours is in http://....wikia.com/api.php . So, the last version of the software functionning here is version 4.000, a version in wich Google search is broken (it was fixed in 4.1). The developper (i think) of the software said "[...] You could change it, There is probably no easy way for us to do this in code, without having to have an if for wikia... Unless you can get the wikia admins to do a symlink or some other referencing of api.php in /w/...? ". I've reply that i cant ask staff to do a thing like that. But, in truth, i dont know if i can. So i'll just leave this up to you guys and continue using previous version until it become unsuable and at that time, i'll cease using bot and ask for the deletion of the bot account. I hope this will not be too soon. See ya all, and thanks. — TůζipVõrζąx Talk 18:22, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I run a bot at RSWiki and I would like to have this bot listed for AWB. I have used AWB before, and for many potential bot jobs AWB is better than spending the time to write a bot myself and for jobs that are best ran as a semi-bot.

Phlox
AWB used to work fine on genealogy but I guess someone fixed the whitelist because now I lock up on login. I thought it was skipping me because I am sysop there. It may well be unrelated- the lockup happens before a login screen even appears so it doesn't even know who I am yet. Anyway, I will be confining my fiddling to genealogy.wikia for the forseeable future, but I may help folks get started on automating some things on other wikia like psych if they get serious with the semantic stuff. - ~  Ph <font color="#3DD0F5">l <font color="#6EDCF7">o <font color="#9EE8FA">x  18:46, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Hello. I'm Sharkbate. I've been on Wikia since December. The main wiki I go on is titled the Club Penguin Wiki. Soon, I will be going through many others. Anyway, I am here to ask if I could have bot abilities. I am very skilled with media wiki and coding. I have never vandalized in my life. I would use it for AWB purposes as well. The account I prefer to have the bot capabilities on would be "SharkbateBot".

Two pages?
We seem to have two checkpages. Does anyone know which is correct/useful? -- sannse (talk) 10:07, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * AutoWikiBrowser is for Wikipedia:Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser
 * AWB/CheckPage is for MWiki-Browser wonder if this still works here...
 * Thought checking the complains looks like wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser still buggy with wikia thought i have always been in the need to bypass the Wikipedia:AWB issues as my wikis are different from the rest of wikia --
 * I don't think MWB works any more... at least, I've had problems with it. It took a while of fiddling to get AWB to work, but it does now.  I'm reluctant to remove the MWB page though, in case anyone is using it.  I think we should only add to the AWB one now, unless specifically asked for the other -- sannse (talk) 07:24, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Well i think its more than save to clean those pages. At Sourceforge.net(that btw you are still Project Admin) one can notice the last update of the program by User:Ligulem was done over 2 years ago that was prior i think to us having MW.11 long time when i started to experiment with AWB i was already having issues with MWB. And with all the MW changes and Wikia exchanges im doubtful MWB will work with us. So blanking and redirecting here would be a good thing --
 * OK, I've combined them -- sannse (talk) 10:28, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

History merge

 * Originally Move from talk pages of User:Michaeldsuarez and User:Cizagna Original topic: why did you merge

why did you merge the history of AWB and the MWB check pages? --
 * Wikia talk:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 14:21, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Still i dont see the reason, redirect was ok to avoid confusing, but history merging i cant see a valid reason since the list of bot authorize users are not from the same program and are not even the same list users --
 * Move the topic here since i want lo leave a record that i disagree with this merge --

AWB....what is it?
What exactly is AWB? I'm thinking of requesting access, but I'd like to know what exactly it is, and if I'd be able to use it for my Sysopping duties at the Castle Crashers Wikia.
