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: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: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]

User:EnzoTC

I need to add 'Flag of X District' and 'Flag of Y Region' categories to around 3,000 Slovakian flags, doing just about 5% manually took a full day. EnzoTC (talk) 04:09, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Spida-tarbell

I write to request permission to use AutoWikiBrowser to facilitate identification of duplicate references; I understand that the tool only identifies exact duplicates, and that I must check every edit before saving it. spida-tarbell 𐡸 (talk • contribs) 21:17, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(Non-administrator comment) DuplicateReferences detects and displays references with duplicate URLs. Sam Sailor 09:43, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:RachelTensions

There are about 200 templates at Category:South Korea pop music group navigational boxes, Category:Girl group navigational boxes, and Category:Boy band navigational boxes that are members of content categories and shouldn't be per the guideline at WP:CAT#T. Hoping to automate their removal. RachelTensions (talk) 02:08, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Gladcape2013

Reason for requesting autowikibrowser rights I need to help I make good edits that are very good I help revert vandalism Gladcape2013 (talk) 20:30, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Jlwoodwa

petscan:29601810 shows several hundred biographies with inconsistent categories. Depending on the subject, the solution is either replacing Category:Year of birth missing (living people) with Category:Year of birth missing, or adding Category:Living people. It's very repetitive (even with HotCat), but I don't think a bot could reliably decide which solution to apply. I'm requesting AWB access because it seems like the right kind of semi-automated tool for this job. jlwoodwa (talk) 01:39, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Cooldudeseven7

Reason for requesting autowikibrowser rights: I have achieved 500 mainspace edits and I feel like this tool will be used so that I can contribute to wikipedia while expanding my knowledge of it- as well as how these tools work. This tool will be handy in my improvement of wikipedia articles no matter stub or good articles. This tool will be so handy in fixing problems that are in multiple articles! Thanks, ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Cooldudeseven7 join in on the tea talk 13:04, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Tule-hog

(See rescinded previous request.) There are many tasks I undertake that AWB would make easier, but the immediate task is finding 'what redirects here' for Effective radiated power to clean its odd anchor 'Equivalent radiated power (Redirected)' in the second paragraph. I do a fair bit of redirect work, so the ability to examine database dumps without dragging out my minimal MariaDB chops would be nice. I need to dig into Pywikibot as well, but I'd like to try the GUI offered by AWB. Tule-hog (talk) 16:18, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Aopou

Hello, I want to request permission for AutoWikiBrowser to be used in the Spanish Wikipedia, I am a reverser and verifier, so I have knowledge with this type of programs. I want to use it more than anything to make corrections in articles that we translate, and there are sectors in templates that are not translated and we use the English Wikipedia. According to the “manual” that is in Wikipedia in Spanish there are no requirements, but it sends me to make the request even so here. Aopou (talk) 22:15, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Aopou, there are no requirements to use AWB on the Spanish Wikipedia (es:WP:AWB#Registro), so you should be fine if you just install it yourself using the instructions on that page. Feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if this doesn't work. (Marking  Not done.) Extraordinary Writ (talk) 05:22, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:AWBunny

My main account already has access to AWB. Would like access to another account for doing edits which are not that substantial. I would like to retain AWB for my main account. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 12:59, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
