Tip of the day...

Power search Wikipedia using AutoWikiBrowser

AutoWikiBrowser is a semi-automatic page loader and editor designed for working on large batches of Wikipedia pages. One of its tools, the database scanner, lets you do exhaustive searches of the encyclopedia's content. It can search article titles and article contents. The tool supports regex, so you have unlimited possibilities for search criteria.

The tool works off-line, directly on a copy of the Wikipedia database that you have downloaded.

It will find absolutely every occurrence of an entered search string, and return the names of all the articles that it comes across that contain it. Unfortunately, it only presents a maximum of 30,000 page names, at which point it will stop. So, the more specific the search criteria, the better.

For on-the-fly general discussion and support requests for AWB, try the AWB IRC channel: #AutoWikiBrowser ^connect

Grognard Extraordinaire Chess (talk) Ping when replying 05:42, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

Just wanted to let you know that I screwed up this rejection message above. The proper message should've been that the article already exists on Wikipedia, not that it "does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own. In addition the first version of the comment I left here and on the article was that the "submitter was a sockpuppet of someone else", e.g. an alternate account. I meant to type "author was a sockpuppet of someone else", as the original author of the article was abusively using multiple accounts and I've changed my comment to reflect that. I did not mean to accuse you of sockpuppetry or abusively using multiple accounts and I apologize for writing that you did. You're doing a very fine job of updating and contributing to Wikipedia. I hope you continue to edit and help the project in the future like you are now. Grognard Extraordinaire Chess (talk) Ping when replying 05:54, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
