Frequently asked questions عدل

When I start it up I get error "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application."
This error means your computer does not have the .NET framework version 2 installed properly. Download

Will it ever work on Linux or Mac?
Probably not, at least not until mono gets .NET 2.0 fully supported.

However, pyAWB (pythonAWB), is being developed for Linux

Does AWB work on other projects/languages?
Many WikiMedia projects and languages are supported, see the "Select language and project" option in the file menu. Other languages will be added on request, though at the moment the interface is always in English. You are also able to use other 3rd party wiki's, by entering the URL where index.php of this wiki resides. The wiki must support Query API and Bot API required by AWB. This means that it should have latest HEAD version of MediaWiki or something close to that.

What interwiki link order does AWB use?
It uses the orders specified at m:Interwiki sorting order, as all other bots do.

I don't like or use Internet Explorer, please use FireFox instead.
AWB does not use Internet Explorer. It does, however, happen to use the same web browser control that Internet Explorer does; 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" in the "(2) Set options" 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 so frequent anyway.

How can I stop AWB clicking when it changes pages?
This is an Internet Explorer setting. This page explains how to turn off the clicking sound.
