Wikipedia:WikiFunctions
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WikiFunctions.dll is a Microsoft dotnet framework dynamically linked library containing various classes and user interface elements related to wiki editing. Besides being a repository for code shared between various AWB executables, WikiFunctions also contains much in the way of standalone code reusable by other projects and AWB plugins.
Since AWB version 4.0, WikiFunctions incorporates the features formerly shipped in Kingboyk's WikiFunctions2. Most notable amongst these features is a logging suite usable by 3rd party applications (and now used in AWB).

| WikiFunctions.Logging.TraceListenerUploadableBase | An abstract class for building auto-uploading trace listeners |
| WikiFunctions.Logging.TraceManager | An inheritable implementation of a Logging manager, built around a generic collection of IMyTraceListener objects and String keys |
| WikiFunctions.Logging.WikiTraceListener | This class logs in Mediawiki-markup format |
| WikiFunctions.Logging.XHTMLTraceListener | This class logs in XHTML format |
| WikiFunctions.Logging.Uploader.ITraceStatusProvider | Implemented by classes which expose a TraceStatus object |
| WikiFunctions.Logging.Uploader.LogEntry | Object which contains details of target pages for log entries (see e.g. User:Kingbotk/Logs, Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Automation/Logs) |
| WikiFunctions.Logging.Uploader.LogUploader | A class which uploads logs to Wikipedia. Inherits from WikiFunctions.Editor in AWB's DLL |
