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.

You do not need AWB access to:

fix duplicate references (see User:Polygnotus/DuplicateReferences)
fight vandalism (see WP:HUGGLE and WP:UV)
do category maintenance (see WP:CATALOT)
rate articles (see WP:RATER)

Hi, I am re-requesting AWB perms. It was last denied because I had shown zero need for it but this time, I think I do have a reason.

I had recently created Niagara (electoral district) and Middlesex North from a (redirect) to a Disambiguation page, and it has links. I would like to use AWB to update the links, and make it point to the right pages. I'm thinking there could be more "redirect-to-disambigaution" pages that would need updating links.

Seems reasonable to me. Will give Dr vulpes a chance to opine before granting. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 21:19, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good to me, I'll review their work and report back. Thank you @Pppery for the ping. Dr vulpes (Talk) 09:12, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to have AWB permission to do simple maintenance edits, like fixing typos or fixing links to disambiguation pages, more easily. Milo8505 _(talk) 19:33, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

{{not done}} Fails minimum criteria. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 21:19, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pppery Sorry, could you inform me of the criteria? I thought it was 500 total main space edits or 250 non-automated mainspace edits, which I pass, as I have more than 500 total mainspace edits.

Thank you and sorry for the inconveniences.

Milo8505 _(talk) 08:53, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, you read it correctly and I interpreted the information I was looking at wrongly. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 16:51, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So then, can I have it? Milo8505 _(talk) 09:01, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't made any decision on that yet. My future self or a different admin will decide. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 17:41, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason for requesting autowikibrowser rights To improve the references for the page Flint water crisis. Emannnt (talk) 23:15, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done You seem to have no idea what you are doing. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 01:51, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To elaborate on this, AWB is only helpful for editing several different pages in succession, not for editing a single page. SilverLocust 💬 04:28, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Plan to use this to mass create and categorize redirects, as well as mass tagging pages with {{long comment}}. mwwv ^converse∫_edits 14:04, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
