Hello!
How can you make a search for pages which you then can copy and past into AWB? When searching there is always some content to each page below the result. I just want the list of pages, not the content to each page. Is this possible? I know you can make, like, a query but I don't really know SQL, I only know the insource regexes. Can someone help me?
The AWB “Wiki search” (or something similar, I don’t have it open right now) generate option uses CirrusSearch on Wikimedia wikis. You could call that API endpoint yourself and transform the result to a copy-pasteable format, but why would you do that if you can simply paste the search query in AWB’s search box?
I use w:Wp:JWB and I don't think there's a search box there. I can't find one anyway.
Oh, I thought that if you write AWB, you mean AWB… Actually search is on its way to JWB, although it seems to be a bit slow on its way. Probably you should urge the author to incorporate this feature.
Expressing your wish in the talk page section might greatly speed up things. For the time being, you can use w:User:Colin M/scripts/JWB annotated.js (mw.loader.load('https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Colin_M/scripts/JWB_annotated.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');) on Project:AutoWikiBrowser/Script Beta. Please note that this is at your own risk, as Colin M can put any, even malicious JavaScript code on this page, although that’s quite unlikely.
