replies: text: Here's a log of what I did, just now: I renamed my old default settings from v4.1.2 and earlier to "Default1.xml" so that AWB would use all-new settings. Upon opening AWB, the edit toolbar was there, shown as enabled in the "General" menu, and did not interfere with the edit box. I also disabled and re-enabled the bar, with and without text in the edit box, and the bar behaved as intended.

replies: text: Further update: I went back and renamed my default settings file so that AWB would pick it up upon loading. With the old settings from 4.1.2.0 and older in place, the edit toolbar briefly appears on startup (while the AWB splash screen is up) before disappearing. Although the bar is gone, "Show edit toolbar" is still checked in the "General" menu. Upon dechecking the option, the edit box "expands", adding two lines above the area of the box that is visible that cannot be scrolled to - essentially identical to Silvonen's screenshot above. After reenabling the edit toolbar, the extra two lines go away and the toolbar appears, but now, the toolbar hovers over the first two lines of the edit box. --TMF Let's Go Mets - Stats 18:27, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think its probably the way the enabling/disabling and the settings are handled. Due to the lack of the entry in the settings file, its probably just taking the default, hence showing it and then it disappearing.  - That makes sure the checked-ness is set.

replies: text: Another update: I renamed my settings again so that I could load AWB with no settings. I then saved the fresh settings from 4.1.3.0 as the new default settings. However, after closing and re-opening AWB with the new settings, the results were the same as the 4.1.2.0 settings - briefly shows then disappears, even though the setting for the toolbar is present and saved (<EditToolbarEnabled>true</EditToolbarEnabled>). Since I'm not familiar at all with how AWB is coded, I dunno if this was fixed in the revision linked above or not. But I'll post this for reference either way. --TMF Let's Go Mets - Stats 19:07, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes, it might not be the real cause of the release crash.  The problem happened long ago this year since an update I cannot now specify. I have reinstall .NET and autowikibrowser in several times and that cannot help.  The error message is so cryptic that I cannot tell what is wrong.  — HenryLi (Talk) 05:05, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

message: :Suppose we can check if the title includes "List", and not add the tag? —Reedy Boy 23:32, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Lists still must have at least one link to them. The tag is added only if the mainspace is empty. Therefore, this is not a bug :)  -- Magioladitis (talk) 01:48, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

text: Not auto-tagging Lists with this tag would be fine with me.  Is there some rule somewhere that all articles must have a link or something bad will/should happen to them?  (There are many lists that only have links from user pages--no value there.)  Something else peculiar I saw is that when using AWB to replace one category with another most of the :Category:Birds by country lists got tagged as orphans, but when using AWB to change some text in the same articles, only a dozen or so articles got tagged as orphans!  This minimum tagging would make more sense, but not as good as no tagging, in my opinion.  Thanks Hmains (talk) 04:06, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry but I really have to insist that this tag stays in AWB. When reviewing a news article I always check if it orphan or not. Tagging an article as an orphan means that someone will try find articles to link to it. Something good will happen to it :) (No article will be deleted only because it's orphan if this worries you). Moreover, if the tagged article needs no links the tag can be removed. Lists are very difficult to find if there is no link to them. Linking from user pages really is not enough. Lists are usually parts of articles or they should be. Like for example a list of Jazz musicians rally must be found via Jazz music.
The second think you mention really sound like a problem and I hope it's fixed. Friendly, --- Magioladitis (talk) 15:16, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

text:  Well, thanks anyway.  I understand.  Hmains (talk) 04:13, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It is preferable that all articles should have links from other pages in main namespace (see Wikipedia:Orphan, Wikipedia:Build the web and Wikipedia:WikiProject Orphanage). I see no reason to make an exception for lists. If any page got incorrectly tagged please let us know. Jogers (talk) 16:59, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
