Restoring functionality
At this point, what really needs to be done is a quick fix to restore the functionality of the program, as the verification page is now history, either by implementing a new verification page, or by removing the user check function altogether. SchuminWeb (Talk) 02:45, 3 January 2006 (UTC)


 * And thank you very much for basically taking over AutoWikiBrowser. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.  SchuminWeb (Talk) 02:45, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

I'd also like to say thanks. Verification is important to prevent this tool from being used for malicious purposes. A new AWB page is necessary with instructions on how to use the program and feature list. Gflores Talk 03:09, 3 January 2006 (UTC)


 * As I'm not an admin, I can't protect pages nor can I view deleted pages. I need an admin to (a) protect the the check page, (b) update the check page, and (c) view Bluemoose's deleted pages so I can get his description, user whitelist, etc.  Once I find an admin willing to cooperate, I can get the AWB back up and running. &mdash;  M ATHWIZ 20 20  T ALK 22:16, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree with Gflores that the new AWB should keep the verification to avoid abuse by vandals. --Fritz S. (Talk) 22:46, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll be happy to he;p with admin functions connected with AWB. send me a message exactly what you want done on my talk page. DES (talk) 23:48, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and a)protected the checkpage User:Bluemoose/AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage and b)added version 1.6 (the current version for download from Mathwiz2020). Do you still need the deleted pages?  --Kbdank71 15:21, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
 * We can either still use Bluemoose's checkpage or transfer it to User:Mathwiz2020/AutoWikiBrowser/Checkpage (I currently have there some temporary code to help me just while I'm testing the new version, to be called 2.0). I don't exactly need the other archived pages, but it would help if you could view the archived version of User:Bluemoose/AutoWikiBrowser and just copy those contents into User:Mathwiz2020/AutoWikiBrowser - if you can only copy text, and not the wikicode, I can wikify it.  Thanks for all your help!  Martin (a.k.a. Bluemoose) has also volunteered to help me with the code for a bit until the project gets up and running. &mdash;  M ATHWIZ 20 20  T ALK 22:08, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Change history
Could you quickly note what has changed over the last few versions (particularly for Version 1.6)? I'm afraid I rather lost track, and the old stuff is buried somewhere in Martin's old user-space. Cheers —Phil | Talk 16:31, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Here ya go: --Kbdank71 19:16, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Version 1.1 - Fixed a few bugs, improved the layout.

Version 1.2 - Fixed a couple bugs, some other improvements.

Version 1.3 - Can now make a list from a google search. Couple of other tweaks.

Version 1.4 - Checks you are logged in on every edit, and a few other improvements.

Version 1.5 - Put the Link FA template and Wikipedia:Persondata in correct place. Removes any duplicate categories.

Version 1.6 - Fixed a couple of minor bugs, disabled date removal until it becomes uncontroversial.


 * Martin also added in version 1.5.2 a find function (look on the start tab) as well as a few more minor tweaks. Thanks for this information, though! &mdash;  M ATHWIZ 20 20  T ALK 22:08, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
