It looks like this has to do with Wikia dropping support for some TLS settings. This caused AWB to not be able to connect to the database. Unless the Wikia staffers can find another way to fix the issue locally, the AWB devs will need to modify the AWB code to compensatem which they would have had to do eventually anyway. The AWB devs have already begun doing this but it will likely take a couple weeks to finish fixing it. They just released one update to catch up all the changes that had been done for the last year or so and the next update should fix the TLS settings issue and upgrade to .NET 3.5 and then followed by another update to upgrade to .NET 4.5.

You can see the changes made on the updates here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/History and you can follow the work by watching this link: https://sourceforge.net/p/autowikibrowser/code/HEAD/tree/
