AutoWikiBrowser


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.

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]

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