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 with under 250 non-automated mainspace edits or 500 total mainspace edits are rarely approved. You can check your non-automated contributions on XTools. Administrators are automatically approved and do not need to request access. For bots, please consult the Bot Approvals Group or bureaucrats' noticeboard about adding AWB access.
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.

Now I find I want to start doing edits that go beyond my manual abilities. Note: I will be using WP:JWB. Thanks! UnitedStatesian (talk) 17:47, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
UnitedStatesian, edits such as...? Primefac (talk) 18:47, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
As a result of the Portalspace cleanup efforts, many subpages such as Portal:Martial arts/WikiProjects have been refunded and need need to have the text notice removed from them. This is a task that is challenging to do manually, I am sure there are a bunch of my ~62,000 other edits to the project that would have also benefited from JWB.

To help get unassessed articles for WikiProject College Basketball assessed faster and easier. Brian (talk) 05:33, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Brian, genuinely out of curiosity, how do you plan on doing that with AWB? I do a lot of the assessing for WP:AST and I've never found AWB to be useful. Primefac (talk) 18:49, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Primefac, according to WP:VG/A, the Kingbotk plugin that can be added to AWB can help speed up the process, considering there are almost 3,000 pages that need assessing in WP:CBBALL. Brian (talk) 22:10, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Jwslubbock

Hi, I'm staff of Wikimedia UK and we are running a skillshare session to help editors understand AWB. I would like permission to start using the tool before the event we are having so that I can understand it and help other participants. --Jwslubbock (talk) 11:54, 15 April 2019 (UTC) Jwslubbock (talk) 11:54, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Already done (automated response): This user already has AutoWikiBrowser access. — MusikBot talk 12:50, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) )Fast bot!). Over 2,000 edits: more than half to mainspace. Trusted user with a sensible reason for the request. I've added John to the approved list. --RexxS (talk) 12:54, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

To speed up maintaining pages for WP:Curling such as adding pages that should be covered by the WP, assessing pages for the WP, fixing links to disambig pages A202985 (talk) 18:40, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:LittlePuppers

I'd like to request AWB rights for my other account User:LittlerPuppers, mostly for use in typo/grammatical-type corrections. I will also probably be using JWB for a significant portion of these. LittlePuppers (talk) 03:36, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Genericusername57

Lately I've been manually fixing a lot of broken library proxy urls, which have predictable unwanted elements like https://dx.doi.org.exampleproxy.com/10.1234/56789&user=John_Doe. I would like permission to start using JWB on pages with proxy urls. Cheers, gnu57 14:16, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
