Duplicate: Load KingbotK plugin. Bot mode: Off -> Load a page, when "Press skip" appears activate bot mode and press Skip -> Kaboom. -- Magioladitis (talk) 09:50, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Exception:	ArgumentOutOfRangeException
Message:	Η τιμή για προσθήκη βρισκόταν εκτός περιοχής τιμών. Όνομα παραμέτρου: value

Geraki, did this occur when you pressed Start in the Plugins tab? -- Magioladitis (talk) 10:09, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Yep, I'm getting this one as well. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 12:47, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

I am pretty sure that this related to the timer and the way we save the plugin's stats. I ll try to do some debugging later. -- Magioladitis (talk) 10:43, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Method to correctly count Kingbotk edits:

• Save text
• Apply plugin changes
  • If old text <> new text add 1 to Tagged
• Apply genfixes

-- Magioladitis (talk) 20:16, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

I believe this is the same error that I pointed out. If thats the case its due to the Plugin getting stuck on comments. Could you provide them an example article or two that generates the error. --Kumioko (talk) 13:32, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Duplicate with Wikipedia_talk:AutoWikiBrowser/Bugs#ArgumentOutOfRangeException_in_AsyncApiEdit.CallEvent. Charles_Edward are you trying to assess articles? -- Magioladitis (talk) 15:02, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm getting it too when trying to assess and cleanup metalworking articles. Wizard191 (talk) 13:39, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

The problem is in the way we do the ststistics in KingbotK. We are already aware of that. -- Magioladitis (talk) 19:58, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Yes I am trying to assess. I can get through, say fifty or more without an error, and then it gets to a patch where its error after error. Then it clears back up and I can assess another fifty or so before it craps out again. I have just been going back and manually assessing all the errored ones right now. I think this is related to other errors posted here. Here's some examples:

1. Samuel Henderson (Indianapolis mayor), I can load the page, then click skip or save to get to the talk and it hangs. It never loads the talk page. If I click skip or save a second time, the above error occurs. If I click stop, then restart, or just click start without stopping, I get the above error too. Then upon restarting I get the "pluggin was expecting talk page" error.
2. Same with Jim Hill (Oregon politician)

Eventually you get through the "bad" articles and it will start working again. I don't see on the talk pages of those articles any comments, or things like that. And it is on such a variety of articles and they have no common template except the Indiana project template, which I am assessing for. —Charles Edward ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 14:09, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Happens when I try to do assessments with {{WikiProject Ontario Roads}}. Half the pages come up with an error saying 'AWB expected a talk page', with only OK to click. That stops the processing. I click start again, and it often skips the item and goes to the next and asks the same thing. Eventually it will go, but then this error will come up and stop the processing again. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 12:49, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Did you have KingbotK installed? Or in your AWB directory? -- Magioladitis (talk) 11:14, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Like Krinkle, above, I'm afraid I don't know what was different about this particular save compared to all the others before and after it which worked without any problem. I do remember that it was near the end of a list of about 40-45 pages, but wasn't the last one in the list - I think it was 3 or 4 from the end.

-- DMS (talk) 05:11, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

rev 6079 Some more info added to the error message, which may help us to understand what causes the error when it happens again. Rjwilmsi 13:56, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Schwede66 20:16, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Did you have KingbtoK plugin activated? -- Magioladitis (talk) 10:58, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

copied from Schwede's talk page:

I have activated it subsequent to the suggestion, but I haven't undertaken this particular edit since. Sorry, it appears that I was supposed to reply to the suggestion - I merely posted the feedback as the error message suggested that I do. Schwede66 18:52, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

A version of this error comes up whenever I try to load any plugin. This, like other SecurityExceptions seem to be, is probably caused by being on a network shared H drive. Dragging AWB's folder to the desktop didn't fix it.~ neko-chan :3 (talk) 19:17, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

"Not a huge amount we can do about this as its in the .NET/Windows Code." How many edits have you done, when you got this message? -- Magioladitis (talk) 10:56, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

The funny thing was that I wasn't actually editing at all, but using the Pre-parse mode to sort through about 50,000 pages before actually editing them. I believe the problem started at about the 20,000's.

Peteparker (talk) 15:46, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

As I expected. It is a divide by zero bug caused of the huge number of pages processed. There might be a way to avoid it. Thanks, Magioladitis (talk) 15:04, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

KingbotK needs urgent update to support new priority parameters

Description	KingbotK plugin seems to be removing the work group priority parameter in Template:WPBiography and replacing it with a general priority parameter instead (see [4][5]).

I summarise a bit here. This is a to-do list. TO DO:

1. Support new priority parameters i.e. don't remove them and don't add empty priority parameters is one of the new ones exist
2. If priority parameter is missing, keep adding the generic priority parameter
   1. In the future: If a work-group exists and the corresponding priority parameter is missing, add it
   2. In the future: If a work-group exists and a generic priority parameter exists, replace it with the one corresponding to the work-group.
3. If living parameter is missing, add an empty living field unless class=dab
4. If listas parameter is missing, add an empty listas field

-- Magioladitis (talk) 14:06, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

The workgroups are:

|peerage-work-group = 
|politician-work-group =

• This is probably not a bug. There is probably something in the banners that is causing the problem. Can you give an example page it happened on? –xeno^talk 13:38, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Yeah no problem if you pull in virtually any of the articles from the Category:Recipients of the Medal of Honor you get it. A couple specific articles are talk:Gary Evans Foster or Talk:Gary George Wetzel. Please let me know if you need anything else. --Kumioko (talk) 14:27, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

The bad tag report is from this mess of "B class checklist" items. Not sure why the plugin does not like it, it may be getting confused because of the hidden comments. –xeno^talk 14:44, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Oh ok, if its worth mentioning I am going to cleanup all those comments to the shortened version on the milhist banner page, like below. I just haven't gotten that far along yet. Unfortunately most folks don't appreciate the need for the talk page banners so they are a mess.

<!-- B-Class 5-criteria checklist -->

|B1 <!-- Referencing and citations --> = y/n

Summary:

• Don't tag disamb articles as orphan  Done rev 5888 too. Rjwilmsi 00:24, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
• IF >= 3 incoming links (excluding redirects, only mainspace, not dabs), then article is not an orphan for sure and AWB should remove the tag if found
• Orphans have less than 3 incoming links to themselves or their redirects. These links should not be redirects or dabs.

Current status:

• Tagger will tag as an orphan an article that has less than 3 incoming links to itself or its redirects that there are not redirects. rev 6013
• Tagger will untag an article from being orphan if it has 3 or more incoming links to itself or its redirects that there not redirects. rev 6013
• Tagger can be restricted to linkless pages by an option to the Options menu.

Conclusion:

• Tagging is 100% accurate. If an article is tagged as an orphan, it is an orphan.
• More articles can be orphans. This is the case that some of the incoming links are dab pages.

No, this is not proscribed in sv:Wikipedia:Disposition and it is not how our editors generally do it. The stub template is a template and in similarity to other templates it tends to be placed where in the text you want it. Tomas e (talk) 17:06, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Hm... Stub moving is part genfixes. Unfortunately, moving categories comes with moving stubs. If you want both disactivated, disactivate general fixes. Nothing else we can do at the moment. Why don't just add it to the Manual of Style. Position has to do of how the page is rendered. since all projects use MediaWiki the best position for stubs is under categories. -- Magioladitis (talk) 16:12, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Scroll bar slider does not work correctly with a large list

Make list display becomes somewhat garbled when scrolling fast

Status	New
Description	When quickly scrolling up and down through a large list in the make list window (by clicking and dragging the slider in the scroll bar), some of the entries overwrite each other in terms of how they are displayed. The entries themselves are fine; however, some of the article titles have the names of the articles that were above them listed on top of them. For example, one of the entries of the list I have open right now is for New York State Route 470. It should read just "New York State Route 470"; however, the displayed text is "New York State Route 470" with the words "New York State Route 446" (the article above it in the list) overlaid on top. – TMF 19:22, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Keyboard shortcut stops working

Status	Bug currently being investigated/fixed
Description	The save keyboard shortcut works fine when AWB is first started; to save, you can use "Alt-s", "Ctrl-s", or even just "s". But if you click in the diff area or text box (including scroll bar), then the shortcut stops working until you restart AWB. (Note that "Alt-g" continues working for ignore, although I believe that ignore has been replaced with skip in the next version, so the shortcut will probably be different). If you subsequently click in one of various places such as in the edit box, list box, diff area, or on the Start tab, the save shortcut will then work once immediately thereafter, but then stops working again.

This was originally reported on WT:AWB by ZooFari (talk · contribs), but that report was recently archived without any action. The keyboard shortcut feature is a very useful one, providing a comfortable alternative to stressful repeated mouse clicking, so I've brought the issue here. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 01:32, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Ctrl+S works only if the program is focused in the edit area. I thought this was the expected behaviour. (Btw, the pther discussion was automatically archived by a bot). -- Magioladitis (talk) 08:56, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Having to click in the edit box completely negates the convenience of having a keyboard shortcut (except on those occasions when you happen to have been making a manual edit anyways). The keyboard shortcut to Save should be just as available as the one to Ignore is. Try making a list of pages (with all skip options disabled), and see how easy it is to go through the list by pressing Alt-g to Ignore them. It should be just as convenient to use Alt-s or Ctrl-s to Save. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 09:57, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

IMHO the keyboard shortcuts should work in the entire main window of AWB. Not sure why they don't at the moment. Rjwilmsi 10:00, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

All shortcuts work only if AWB is focused in List box or Edit box and nowhere else. -- Magioladitis (talk) 14:06, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

I think there are two issues with Alt-S:

1. When the browser portion of the window has the focus, it prevents the proper function of the Alt- and Cmd- functions. I bet IE grabs the keystrokes before the main thread of AWB sees them.
2. When "Start" is not the current tab and the Save button is not visible, the Alt-S shortcut won't work. Windows only honors Alt shortcuts for active controls, and a hidden control is not active.

It would be very helpful if this could be addressed. Having to click in the edit box before using Alt-S is inconvenient. Using a Cmd- key shortcut for a new "Save article text" menu entry would help with #2. I am not sure how you resolve #1 if my guess about the focus issue is right. — John Cardinal (talk) 22:10, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Saving-problems

Status	Works for me
Description	I use AWB to fix links on pages and on many large pages AWB isn't able to do anything, while the exact link is on the page. If I set Auto save on, then after some tries (which take each many seconds/minutes with message "Processing page") AWB stops (message in the bottom bar is "Stopped"). If I set Auto save off, then after a long time of several seconds/minutes with message "Processing page", AWB has changed the page as I set in AWB and shows it to me as usual with message "Ready to Save", and then I hit the Save-button shortly, but then it says connection failed and goes "restarting in ..." counting down. And a new reload follows which takes again a long time, etc... On many pages this doesn't occur (mostly small pages with relative few templates), but on hundreds of pages it occurs in what appears to be mostly large pages like nl:Roeien op de Olympische Zomerspelen 1984. To me it looks like AWB isn't able to handle large pages anymore. In the past I had only problems with slowlyness with AWB on pages which use nl:Template:Stamboom, but then the saving worked fine.

AWB loading a page as blank page was an AWB bug that we fixed. I don't think the problem is in loading, rather in saving.

I think that is intentional each file has a license template or two and each license template has great many language version links. This was causing an explosion of some link tables in the database. Commons:template:lle was designed to fix that (see discussion). --Jarekt (talk) 12:52, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Double-clicking in the Logs tab works fine. -- Magioladitis (talk) 11:38, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Probably one calls SiteInfo.OpenPageInBrowser() and the other Tools.OpenURLInBrowser(). Can you use the debugger to pick out the two URLs called? Rjwilmsi 16:23, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
