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)

 * I'm considering setting up a (semi) bot account for this. It wouldn't be a fully automated bot, but I will be making quite a few repetitive edits, so I want the account to be flagged as a bot, so it doesn't clog up "Recent changes". WHLfan (talk to me!) 21:14, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
