[edit] Getting Started

  • Click on the .exe file to start the program and wait until it puts your username up in the title bar.
  • Find and press the 'Refresh' button. This will load in the days AfD votes.
  • Find an interesting Discusion, and click on it (in the upper grid). After doing so, do one of the following to go to that item:
    • press ENTER
    • Double click the item on the list.
    • Press the view selected item button.

[edit] To Vote

  • Click on the Discus tab (upper panel)
  • Type in your argument
  • Pick your stance (Keep, delete, etc).
    • Don't add a bullet point to your Discusion, the program does that.
    • Also, don't worry about signing your name as the program takes care of that as well.
    • The program will automatically put the first 100 characters of your Discusion into the edit summary, so voting is a one step process.
  • Click Discus and wait until the program blanks the text of your Discusion. (find another article to Discusion on)

[edit] To check search engines

[edit] Single engine

  • Click on the 'search engine statistics' tab. (after you have selected an article, shown above)
  • The search terms that automatically selected are shown in the text field. If you want to change them, do so.
  • Click on a search engine in the list.
  • Hit the search button
  • It will display the count and show the search page in the 'non-wikipedia Browser' (in the bottom panel)

[edit] All engines

  • Click on the 'search engine statistics' tab. (after you have selected an article, shown above)
  • The search terms that automatically selected are shown in the text field. If you want to change them, do so.
  • Press the search all button.

[edit] To copy search engine counts

This will copy the link and the count to your clipboard (allowing you to paste in the Discusion field).

  • Select the search engine from the list (that you already searched) and click 'Copy Url'. This copies the url and the count to your clipboard
  • Paste to with the rest of your Discusion.
    • The format of this is [<URL><SPACE><COUNT> The last bracket is not added, so add it yourself. (minor bug that I can't figure out and am not going to waste my time on right now)

[edit] For the new 8.9 release

If you run into problems:

  • First open and go to the Statistics tab
  • Next, under the user area add in a value in the drop down menu
  • Last, click the reload and enjoy
