User:Gifted9/autowikibrowser
i hate doing anything manually that i could potentially automate and you probably do too, so here are some instructions to use autowikibrowser on webkinz picture guide.
if you have requests, drop them below, in the #new requests section
toot oriole
- download the program per their instructions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser#(2)_Download
- options > preferences > site > set project as custom and website page as http://webkinzpictureguide.shoutwiki.com/w/
- file > log in/profiles > log in with your normal credentials
- left side: load the pages you want to change here. i typically use my watchlist or wikisearch (text) for specific edits, or special pages to see the various pages in special:specialpages. ctrl-shift-a to keep the list alphabetized, ctrl-shift-u to remove duplicates
- middle: toggle settings in any of the four tabs, per instructions in the #success subheading
- start tab > start button will run awb and present the suggested changes. review in the top pane, and if satisfactory, click save
other places to rtfm

success
the following are tasks i've successfully configured with awb. duplicate these instructions to do the same.
task: beautify external urls
task: replace a whole wkn external url with a number according to vanilla wiki formatting
- options tab > find and replace checked > advanced settings
- new rule > regular expression checked
- in find textbox, write
([^[])https://webkinznewz.ganzworld.com/(.+?)(''|)</ref> - in replace textbox, write
$1[https://webkinznewz.ganzworld.com/$2]$3</ref>
task: remove reftags from numbered external links
- options tab > find and replace checked > advanced settings
- new rule > regular expression checked
- in find textbox, write
<ref>\[http(.+)\]</ref> - in replace textbox, write
[http$1]
task: remove #comment from wkn external links
- options tab > find and replace checked > advanced settings
- new rule > regular expression checked
- in find textbox, write
https://webkinznewz.ganzworld.com/(.+)#comments - in replace textbox, write
https://webkinznewz.ganzworld.com/$1
task: add rotated views in gallery to file page
this is a two-step process to add rotated views to every file in category: rotatable
- make list source: category, category: rotatable > make list
- more tab > append/prepend text enabled checked, prepend selected
- write the following in the textbox
==Rotated Views== <gallery> %%title%%nw.png %%title%%sw.png %%title%%se.png %%title%%ne.png </gallery>
repeat step 1, then do the following
- options tab > find and replace checked > advanced settings
- new rule > regular expression checked
- in find textbox, write
File:(.+).png(nw|sw|se|ne).png - in replace textbox, write
File:$1$2.png
task: create collection page from scratch
example: category: Wacky Zingoz & Zangoz, Wacky Zingoz & Zangoz Collection & Category: Bunk Bed, Bunk Bed Collection
- process 1: add category to applicable files
- this only works for collection items that have a searchable keyword in the file name, such as "bunkbed" or "vanity." if the common factor is visual-only, you will need to manually add files to a category by browsing through picture guide or the visual master list.
- alternatively, see these two pages that each contain half of the visual master list as plaintext transclusions: user:gifted9/autowikibrowser/all items & user:gifted9/autowikibrowser/all items2. it's useless to autowikibrowser, but may be useful for searching in browser
- make list source: special page > make list > on the popup, source: all pages > namespace: file > ok (do not search source: all pages - it only brings up mainspace pages)
- this will only load the alphabetical first 25,000 files, to somewhere in the "surfi*" range. to load the majority of the remaining files, select user contribs and write the usernames of major file uploaders (see #appendix a edits in file namespace per user)
- filter > subject: file > under title, keep titles containing: enabled > write the keyword in the textbox > apply
- manually remove any files you can see do not belong to the collection
- more tab > categories dropdown: add category > write the keyword in the textbox
- run the program and save
- if you are either thorough or masochistic, you can manually comb through special:allpages in the file namespace and use your browser's search function for missed files, and add the category manually. if you are neither of those things, skip this step
- process 2: prepare collection page
- return to wpg and create a new blank page as a destination for the collection page
- return to awb. make list source: category, category: your category > make list
- select one of the list, ctrl-a to highlight all, ctrl-c to copy
- on the collection page in wpg, ctrl-v to paste. save the page
- process 3: fill out table skeleton
- return to awb > options tab > find and replace checked > advanced settings
- new rule > regular expression checked
- in find
File:(.+).png - in replace textbox, write
|- |[[File:$1.png]] <br>$1 |x |x |-
- more tab > append/prepend text enabled checked, prepend selected
- write the following in the textbox
{| class="greentable" width="70%" |- align="left" !Item !Availability !Tradeable
- start tab > start
- in the bottom right pane, scroll all the way down and copy & paste the following:
|- ! ! ! |} {{Collector Pages}} [[Category:Collector Page]]
- process 4: fill out table muscles and skin
- the names will be in Itemfullname format, you will need to manually correct them to Item Full Name format. unless you have a custom webkinz dictionary to reference, this is not automatable
- you will need to manually correct any formatting errors and fill in availability and tradeability in each of the "x" placeholders. you may be able to automate certain simple substitutions or repeat errors
- once finished, remove the {{under construction}} template at the top of the page

pages that still need reformatting:
task: scavenge wi page
this process is significantly more modular than the rest, since webkinz insider's filenaming standards were not as stringent and the source code may not be available
examples: Pink Furniture Collection, Purple Furniture Collection, Red Furniture Collection
copy & paste wi page onto destination wpg page find: <code>(.+)\.png(?: |)</code> replace: nothing find: <code>\n\n</code> replace: <code>\n</code> apply no of times: 10 or so? find: <code>(.+)</code> replace: <code>|{{!}}[[File:{{lc:$1}}.png]]<br>$1</code> find: <code>File:{{lc:(.+) (.+)}}.png</code> replace: <code>File:{{lc:$1$2}}.png</code> apply no of times: 10 or so? find: <code>File:\{\{lc:(.+)[.'](.+)\}\}.png</code> replace: <code>File:{{lc:$1$2}}.png</code> add == to end of section titles find: <code>(.+)==</code> replace: <code>}} ==$1== {{WPG</code>

"The article must already have at least one named reference (to avoid a 'change in citation style' in the article per WP:CITEVAR). This means at least one named ref in short format (<ref name=a/>) as a full named ref by itself does not cause any references to display as combined."
