Frequently asked questions
- When I start it up I get one of the following errors:
- "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application.", or
- "To run this application, you must first install one of the following versions of the .NET Framework..."
- This error means your computer does not have the .NET framework version 2 installed properly. You can choose from various versions for download here, or you can run Microsoft Update and select version 2 of the .Net framework from the "Optional Updates" section, if you want the choice made for you.
- Does AWB run on Linux or Mac?
- Linux, a qualified yes. Mac, not natively but via virtualisation.
- AWB runs reasonably under Wine. See details here
- A native version, PyAutoWikiBrowser (screenshots here), based on Python, is being developed separately for Unix-like systems.
- On the Mac, AWB is not natively available, but an option is to use virtualisation with Parallels Desktop for Mac (subject to meeting supported operating systems requirements) and then run Microsoft Windows virtually with AWB as the Windows instructions above. Note this option is not free, as a license is required for both Parallels Desktop for Mac and Microsoft Windows. An alternative visualization method is to use the free VirtualBox, see also Comparison of platform virtual machines.
- Does AWB work on other projects/languages?
- Many Wikimedia projects and languages are supported, see the "User and project preferences" option in the general menu. Other languages will be added on request, though at the moment the interface is always in English. You are also able to use AWB with third-party wikis: Options > Preferences > Site, you can change the wiki there. The wiki must support the Bot API required by AWB. This means that it should have latest HEAD version of MediaWiki or something close to that. The wmf-deployment branch is also recommended, as this is what is currently live on WMF sites.
- What interwiki link order does AWB use?
- The software reads the interwiki sort order from Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/IW, which is generally mirrored to reflect the order at m:Interwiki sorting order.
- AWB puts stubs after categories, though categories are always rendered the last by MediaWiki?
- According to WP:STUB#Categorizing stubs, By convention they are placed at the end of the article, after the External links section, any navigation templates, and the category tags, so that the stub category will appear last. If your wiki uses another order, please let us know here.
- I don't like or use Internet Explorer; please use Firefox instead.
- AWB does not use Internet Explorer per se. It does, however, use the same web browser control (MSHTML) as Internet Explorer; the equivalent Firefox component does not provide the needed functionality.
- How do I open the page in another browser if I can't use the one in AWB?
- Right click on the edit box in the bottom right side of your screen. Select "Open page in browser".
- How do I edit a page that doesn't exist?
- Uncheck "Ignore non existing pages" in the "Skip articles" box.
- How do I skip certain articles?
- Use the "Skip if contains" and "Skip if doesn't contain" on the "Skip" tab
- Can't you leave up a "stable" version, so I don't have to download new versions?
- It is important to keep people up to date with the latest versions, because their use of the software doesn't just affect them, but the whole of Wikipedia. As any bugs that remain will be trivial; hopefully releases won't be too frequent.
- How can I stop AWB clicking when it changes pages?
- This is a Windows sound theme setting. This page explains how to turn off the clicking sound.
- Alternatively, delete the following key from the Windows registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\Navigating\.Current
- AWB randomly crashes upon page load on my system, and I always use a browser other than Internet Explorer when using Wikipedia.'
- You may have installed custom scripts incompatible with IE. Wrap the contents of your monobook.js into conditional:
//Detect IE5.5+ if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE")==-1) { // Previous contents go here .... }
- I get Just In Time Debugger Messages when loading AWB/loading pages.
- In Internet Explorer, go to Tools --> Options --> Advanced. Make sure 'Disable Script Debugging (Internet Explorer)' and 'Disable Script Debugging (Other)' Are both checked. Press apply and close.
- Why does AWB run very, very slowly if I try to make changes in the edit window on larger pages, especially pages with long lists or tables?
- If running on Windows, exit the Speech Recognition software that is built into some versions of Windows; don't just turn it 'Off', you must 'Exit' the software if you have started up Speech Recognition.
- When I do a clean install of AutoWikiBrowser the application seems to find old setting data somewhere. I'd like to do a really clean install. Any ideas?
- Clean up your registry and remove the folder "C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Local Settings\Application Data\AutoWikiBrowser" (Windows XP) or "C:\Users\user name\AppData\Local\AutoWikiBrowser\" (Windows 7). Note that the application data folder may be hidden.
- AWB prompts that there is a newer version but won't update
- Check the version number of your AWBUpdater.exe. The current version is 2.0.0.9. If you have an older version, you have to download the latest AWB version and make a clean install.
- Which .NET Framework version do I have?
- You can find your .NET Framework version in Help --> About box.
- Where are the default settings stored?
- Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\AutoWikiBrowser
- Windows Vista and Windows 7:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\AutoWikiBrowser\Default.xml
- Windows XP:

Could you post here an example of Inside Template {{..}} regex substitution? The manual it's not clear at all. Thanks, --Andyrom75 (talk) 22:02, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
How can I use AutoWikiBrowser with older version of MediaWiki
I am trying to add a category to over 4000 pages of a custom wiki all at once. I believe AutoWikiBrowser is the easiest way to do this but it will not let me use it with my current version of MediaWiki (1.16.0). It is not possible to update my version due to the time it would take to reformat stylesheets, extensions, etc. Is there a way to use/adjust AWB with my version so I can accomplish that task? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZC53DS (talk • contribs) 18:47, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
- May I suggest using the an older version of AWB for your version of MW. Technical 13 (talk) 18:51, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
Help finding the function
Hello,
I forgot how I did those reference changes, here. I would like to know that function. Regards.--Tomcat (7) 13:15, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
- You probably ticked the "Apply general fixes" checkbox on the "Options" tab of the centre panel. -- John of Reading (talk) 14:15, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
- It does not make any changes whether it is ticked off or not.--Tomcat (7) 18:32, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
- Could you please tell us what page you're currently working on where AWB isn't making changes, and provide more details on what changes you wish it would make? Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 03:13, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
- It does not go on Fyodor Dostoyevsky bibliography and my sandbox page, where I just copied and pasted the Letters table. I would like to shorten the references and the size's page, eg there are numerous references with the same information (such as three times "Complete Works, vol. 28(I), p. 535"). Regards.--Tomcat (7) 09:57, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Who wrote AWB?
Who are the programmers who created it, or worked on it over the years?
Who is currently programming AWB?
And what parts of it are they each responsible for?
Please direct me to the web pages where AWB is developed.
Where is the AWB sourcecode?
The Transhumanist 20:18, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
- See the main page of AWB, especially the infobox. Nobody is "responsible" for any one part. Bgwhite (talk) 20:32, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
Does AWB have any undocumented features?
If so, what are they? The Transhumanist 20:18, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
We provide built-in functions. Some of them are not covered by the documentation... yet. -- Magioladitis (talk) 05:06, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
WIN8
Can AWB work in WIN8? 乌拉跨氪 (talk) 04:47, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
- Yes. Bgwhite (talk) 04:57, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
- I met a network access error about WikiFunctions.Parse.Parsers when I opened it. What's wrong? 乌拉跨氪 (talk) 12:43, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
- Whats the full error. The details of the error will help the developers determine the cause. Kumioko (talk) 14:14, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
- When I opened it, appeared loading screen, and then 3 error boxes pop up in Chinese:
- "WikiFunctions.Parse.Parsers"的类型初始值设定项引发异常。
- translate: "WikiFunctions.Parse.Parsers"'s type initializer raises an exception.
- 无法从传输链接中读取数据:远程主机强迫关闭了一个现有的链接。
- translate: Unable to read data from the transport links: An existing link was forcibly closed by the remote host.
- 基础链接已经关闭:发送时发生错误。
- translate: Basic link has been closed: An error occurred while sending.
- Then the main program interface appeared. but when I login in, the third error box will pop up. So I can not do anything by AWB now, and do not know why. When I used in WIN7 before, everything is normal. 乌拉跨氪 (talk) 15:58, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
