Forum:AutoWikiBrowser newbie

Hello all,

I downloaded AutoWikiBrowser a while ago, but I can't really get the hang of it (not very newbie-friendly imho), so I'd like to open a topic where I can ask help now & then, starting with:

I just connected AWB to my wiki via Preferences under Options (they should've put that under File imo.....), then at the bottom I made a list with Source: Category: Sanguo zhi Chapters. So it loaded ALL pages from that category (I just wanted to load one page though, but don't know how to do that...). From that list I wanted to edit the Book of Wei 01 page, but eh... how? I double click on it, but then I get forwarded to the page online... All tabs (Options, More, Disambig, Start) also don't seem to be what I need?

Please help --- Zantam03 ( Talk ) 16:42, April 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * To load a single page, write its name into the field with the "+" button next to it and click the button. Cheers! 16:45, April 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * Ok, so I enter 'Book of Wei 01' and press +. But then what? I wanna edit it. How? --- Zantam03 ( Talk ) 16:56, April 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Should be in the list now, all by itself. Click it and then click Start . 17:00, April 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * So I entered 'Book of Wei 01', press + and then it's put in the list. I click on it once, then go to the Start-tab and press 'Start' there, but nothing happens, except in the lower right corner 'Skipped' was increased by 1.
 * Try adjusting the skip settings ("skip if no typo was fixed" etc.). 17:19, April 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * You mean the Skip settings under the tab 'Skip'? Or is there another Skip options menu somewhere? Because I don't see a "skip if no typo was fixed" anywhere, or something that looks like it. All options under the tab 'Skip' are unchecked btw. --- Zantam03 ( Talk ) 17:25, April 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * The page I want to edit is this one, but in AWB when I check under logs it says: Page has character in Unicode Private Use Area, so I guess this program doesn't support Chinese characters? --- Zantam03 ( Talk ) 17:30, April 27, 2012 (UTC)

Seems so to me, but I recommend asking someone else with AWB to ensure it is so. 17:33, April 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * I tried another page with only a couple of Chinese characters and that worked fine. Do you know of any AWB expert on here? --- Zantam03 ( Talk ) 18:43, April 27, 2012 (UTC)
