'''AIV Console''' is a little Wikipedia tool I ([[User:DavidWS|<sub style="color:red;">David</sub>]][[User_talk:DavidWS|<sup style="color:cornflowerblue;">WS</sup>]] [[Special:Contributions/DavidWS|<sub style="color:lime;">(contribs)</sub>]]) and pretty soon [[User:Addshore]] have created that makes it easy for Wikipedians who have been granted +sysop to easily patrol the [[WP:AIV|AIV]] page and block the vandals listed at that page.  It's licensed under the GPL, and the main project page (as well as downloads) is on [[Google Code]].<ref>{{Google Code|aivconsole|AIV Console}}{{dead link}}</ref>{{fv}}  The application is written in [[Visual Basic .NET|Visual Basic 2008]].

==Version History==

*'''0.1''' built November 1st, 2008 - Sent to [[User:Xenocidic|Xenocidic]] for testing.  
*'''0.1.1''' built later that day - Sent to [[User:Xenocidic|Xenocidic]] for testing.
*'''0.2''' built November 10th, 2008 - Sent to [[User:J.delanoy|J.delanoy]] for testing.  Unfortunately, due to the stupidity of Windows Vista, it doesn't ''feel'' like running on his computer.

*'''0.2.3''' built November 12th, 2008 - Ability to block for a custom length of time, bug fixes, and J.delanoy, it will now work on your computer.
*'''0.3 and 0.3.1''' built November 12th, 2008.  - Major overhaul internally.  UI wise, it now shows a list of the 50 recent contribs the user has made (and a button to show the diff of any edit in the list), and it has the ability to show the user's previous blocks.  It also shows the reporter's comments.  
*'''0.3.2''' built November 12th, 2008. - Major and minor bug fixes.
*'''0.4''' built November 13th, 2008 - Migrated to VB 2008 (.NET).  Major internal overhaul (obviously).  Real XML parsing with System.XML, GZIP HTTP, multithreaded HTTP requests, a good RegEx engine, etc.

==Features==

*Shows a list of users reported that updates every 5<sup>1/2</sup> seconds
*When you click on a user, contribs show to the right.  Click on one, and you get a diff above.  
*The block form, and its '''amazing''' ability to block users.  
*The block form gives you some options, similar to the real block form.  It notifies the user automagically that they have been blocked with [[Template:GBlock]].  
*Huggle-style diffs
*In the block form, you'll see previous blocks.
*A somewhat streamlined interface thanks to [[User:J.delanoy]] (he showed me how it would be good)
*Anything you want me to add (see below)
