replies: text: Hi Tinu.  I've never used the Kingbotk plugin, but I might be able to help.  I've updated the AWB Template Redirect page with a rule to change  to .  Could you please check to see if this fixed the issue?  Thanks, and good luck!  GoingBatty (talk) 02:30, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I am facing the same issue, is it possible to codify the plugin so that it recognise that  and  are the same template and replace the existing template with the new one, keeping the earlier tags intact and add new workgroups. Please short this out. Amartyabag  TALK2ME 11:21, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Issue with WP:INDIA Banner tagging 

message: Hi all! I am trying to use this plugin to add  to articles in the scope of WP:ROMANIA. However, many articles, especially templates or other spaces don't have a talk page yet and AWB/plugin will skip those pages, instead of creating an empty page and then adding the template. Is there any setting or workaround for this? Thanks. --Codrin.B (talk) 18:34, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Formatting 

message: Hi. I created two generic templates for the projects I am working on, WP:Dacia and WP:Romania. I saved everything in the settings file (I checked and the settings related to them are in settings.xml). But if I restart AWB, load the settings and them load the Kingbotk/Plugin, they don't show up in the list of templates/plugins anymore. I tried loading the Kingbotk/Plugin and then loading the settings. Same result. Basically the generic templates configs get saved but are never loaded. Looks like a bug to me. Any thoughts? --Codrin.B (talk) 16:50, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Plugin loading 

message: I may be thick, but I can't work out if this plugin lets me do what I want. I want to go to the talk pages of all articles in a category, and add them to a wikiproject. Does this let me semiautomate that? If not, is there something else that does? - David Gerard (talk) 20:49, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: - This is exactly what this plugin does. See User:Kingbotk/Plugin/User guide#Configuration, it's pretty straight forward but ask again with any more specific questions and I'll try to help! Jamesmcmahon0 (talk) 08:15, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't make those instructions work, sorry - I can't see how to do step 3. I click on something in the "Plugins" menu and nothing happens. Possibly from using it in Wine - has the Kingbotk plugin ever been known to work in Wine? - David Gerard (talk) 13:40, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Under plugins in AWB (along the top) it should drop down a list that includes 'Add generic template', 'Albums plugin', ...,  'Biography plugin' 'Kingbotk plugin ->' If you can see that, either pick the project you are working with and it should load or click generic template and set that up per the instructions. If those things don't appear in the plugins menu then kingbotk hasn't initialised properly, it is easiest to copy 'Kingbotk AWB Plugin.dll' into the top-directory  of AWB. Not sure if I've ever used it in WINE and I don't know enough to say why it should/should not work in it. Jamesmcmahon0 (talk) 15:03, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for your help, btw :-) This time it decided to work more (presumably I clicked the right thing). The template I'm trying to apply is . I tried setting it up as generic (it uses ); I followed User:Kingbotk/Plugin/Generic_WikiProject_templates#My_WikiProject.27s_template_is_generic.2C_how_do_I_configure_the_plugin.3F and entered a bunch of stuff in the "Industrial" tab and hit "Properties", and it has nothing filled in and "Generic Template Plugin is not properly configured". What did I neglect this time? - David Gerard (talk) 17:11, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't see what you might have done wrong from what you are saying there, it seems to work for me though Jamesmcmahon0 (talk) 10:56, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Problem found! I wasn't putting the template name in braces. AAAAAAAA - David Gerard (talk) 23:39, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

text: Now my problem is: I load up all that stuff. I load up a pile of pages in a category. I hit "start". It skips all of them. What have I missed in the instructions in User:Kingbotk/Plugin/User_guide#Configuration? I'm suspecting I've misunderstood "6. Click the plugin tab. If and only if you are working through a category and/or its subcategories, enter the category name in the box provided. This will be added to the edit summary." The only box I see for a catebory name is the one at far-left under "Make list" - is that the right one? - David Gerard (talk) 23:55, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

text: Perfect, it worked! Thank you! And I shall :-) - David Gerard (talk) 18:07, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Add pages to a wikiproject? 

message: Just started using it for a new WP -- WP:ROMANCE -- and it's adding a duplicate tag to the talk pages after I assess. See this example. The tag is . I also noticed it was inconsistent on adding needs-photo=yes when I checked that box. I've stopped using it for now to avoid being annoying to others :) plange (talk) 17:47, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

message: Hi, I just started using Kingbotk plugin today and found this error. When this plugin adds film-bio-work-group it shows this message Page using Template:WikiProject Biography with unknown parameter "film-bio-work-group" so I think it should be filmbio-work-group which works perfectly.
