AutoWikiBrowser

Sorry, unregistered users cannot be granted permissions due to technical restrictions. Please create an account in order to request user account permissions.
Shortcuts
Please review the AWB guide before making a request. Users are rarely approved unless they have either 250 non-automated mainspace edits or 500 total mainspace edits. You can check your non-automated contributions on XTools. Administrators are automatically approved and do not need to request access. For bots, you must first have a bot approval request approved, or in trial; link to your BRFA in the request.
This page is for requesting AWB Access for English Wikipedia only. Other projects have their own check pages and you should ask administrators there to add you.
If approved, your name will be added to the CheckPage. If you will make many or fast automated edits using AWB, you may wish to use a separate (or bot) account for that purpose; first create the account, give it a userpage declaring it to be your alternate account, then make the request using your main account.
Please note that administrators may not ping you in replies, so please check on your request if you have not heard anything.

User:Inu06

i will use it to correct the citation before the punctuation, on many articles i known User.inu6 (talk) 12:56, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Cocobb8

Would find this very useful for tedious/repetitive edits. Thanks! Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 15:45, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Such as... ? Primefac (talk) 13:13, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Primefac, for tasks such as changing dates to be consistent in an article or doing citation cleanup when I'm reviewing AfCs and NPPs. Thanks for the consideration! Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 15:51, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Cocobb8, importScript('User:Ohconfucius/script/MOSNUM dates.js'); ''// Backlink: [[User:Ohconfucius/script/MOSNUM dates.js]]'' this could help? Best, Reading Beans 15:59, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Reading Beans Yes it would, but that was just en example. I also take part in the Wikipedia Unreferenced Articles project and often find very similar articles that need the same edit done to multiple of them, which is also why I'd find AWB beneficial.

User:Perspicax

I've been asked to create talk pages (linking to wikiprojects) for category pages which I have created. This would be easy with AWB (there are a lot of them). Perspicax (talk) 13:37, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think (as suggested on your talk page) rater might be a better tool for this. Primefac (talk) 13:17, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done for now per previous. Primefac (talk) 19:31, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Kent Wang

I want to replace links to old photos with links to better photos Kent Wang (talk) 18:31, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not really sure AWB is the best tool for that; images are usually only used on one or a few pages, and AWB is more for mass-changes. Primefac (talk) 19:31, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:OpalYosutebito

I'd like to keep using AutoWikiBrowser to better add WikiProjects to talk pages in other languages, such as those in the Vietnamese versions of Establishments in Italy by year, as well as fixing (not necessarily removing like before) unknown parameters in templates.

Your use of AWB appears to have been removed rather than for inactivity - can you explain why or how you will use AWB within the rules and guidelines going forward? Primefac (talk) 19:31, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:(Oinkers42)

I would love to use this for category maintenance and WikiProject tagging across a wide spread of articles quickly. (Oinkers42) (talk) 22:21, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe WP:CATALOT and WP:RATER are better tools for these tasks. Primefac (talk) 19:31, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:FifthFive

AWB would be helpful for tasks like fixing simple citation template errors, which I've been doing off and on since I made an account. I'd also like to continue leaning into other WikiGnome things (typos, ...). FifthFive (talk) 04:17, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. Primefac (talk) 19:31, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Iwaqarhashmi

Hello, I would like to use the AWB tool to fix typos and minor formatting mistakes. I also have AWB rights on Wikimedia Commons. Thank you! Waqar💬 16:31, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. Primefac (talk) 19:31, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:1AmNobody24

I'm improving references by adding wikilinks to relevant parameters. See this AWBREQ for example. I don't plan on doing this across-the-board, just for articles that I'd edit either way and I notice missing links. Thanks Nobody (talk) 12:14, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. Primefac (talk) 19:31, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Miminity

I would like to use AWB for fixing various puntuations and citations issues found on WP:NPP and articles within my scope as sometimes it's hard to notice it. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 12:15, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
