AutoWikiBrowser

Sorry, temporary accounts 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.
Especially for new users, it is helpful (although not strictly required) to explain what specific task you intend to use AWB to do in your request.
You do not usually need AWB access to:

User:This, that and the other

I'd like to use the tool to update South Australia place articles to use new pushpin location maps specific to regions of that vast state. I have used AWB heavily on English Wiktionary, so I'm already familiar with the tool. This, that and the other (talk) 05:46, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Pppery thanks! Fancy seeing you here! I'll respond on enwikt when I have the brainspace. This, that and the other (talk) 10:52, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've been processing AWB perm requests for about as long as I've been an admin. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:35, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting AWB access mainly to use JWB. I've passed the edit mark and want to help with maintenance stuff like typos and categories. Read the rules and fully understand I'm responsible for my edits. Thanks. Jībanmṛtamessage 14:50, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I want to make mass edits on articles about populated places in Ukraine to apply a unified style for the infoboxes, and maybe perform other minor edits to Ukrainian geography articles. Dantheanimator has been extensively using AWB for the same purposes and has recommended this tool to me. Shwabb1 ⟨taco⟩ 17:01, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
