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.


User:Me Da Wikipedian

Would like to automate fixing some year in Ireland related links, above suggested edit counts, also want to help out with typos. In case the bot is annoying, I removed one of my earlier requests because I realized the guidlines were for mainspace, not all, edits. Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 11:54, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I find myself not wanting to grant this request, not necessarily because the reasoning isn't good, but because of a) an edit-warring block two weeks ago, and b) nearly every thread on their talk page is about a mistake, error, or problem with their editing. Will leave for other comment but my initial reaction is that this will cause more problems than it will solve. Primefac (talk) 11:51, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know if I have standing here, but I agree with the above. This person has been an editor for just one month, and their talk page is loaded with problem reports. I do hundreds of semi-automated edits every week (about 15,000 since the start of 2024), and I have had zero (valid) reports of problems with my edits on my talk page in 2024. This editor needs to focus on quality and learning before adding speed to their arsenal. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:29, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Agreed with Primefac. We don't expect perfection here (i.e only a few weeks ago User talk:Pppery#Broken redirects was a valid complaint about a problem caused by my use of AWB), but we do expect a talk page that isn't full of complaints, especially for people only barely above the minima for this permission in the first place. * Pppery * it has begun... 02:06, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. Keep in mind that people generally don't come to a talk page unless they have an issue though. At what point would you say I would be ready for this permission?@Jonesey95@Pppery@Primefac Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 16:38, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is not my experience that people come to talk pages only to complain about edits. You are welcome to visit my talk page for a sampling of thank yous and requests for assistance. As for when you will be ready, I can only say not yet. Make a bunch of useful edits that conform with Wikipedia's guidelines and policies, then return here. Thanks for your enthusiasm! – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:36, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:49p

I work with a bunch of music articles on wikipedia focusing on emo. Most of these are often neglected (usually having no edits for years, borderline AfD, etc). I belive AWB would help me make my job easier by automating the tedious tasks involved and more efficient. 49p (talk) 16:18, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When you say the tedious tasks involved, how are you thinking of using AWB? Primefac (talk) 17:05, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Typo fixing, using the general fixes, and fixing redirects semi automatically are the three tasks I can think of my head currently. These three would help me tremendously. 49p (talk) 18:47, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Done. Primefac (talk) 12:02, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Assem Khidhr

Hi! I'm working on WP:WikiProject AfroCreatives (and the corresponding frWP and arWP projects) as part of an imminent campaign and I was hoping I can expedite the addition of our newly created {{WikiProject AfroCreatives}} into relevant articles. I would keep it to black-and-white situations where articles are in Category:African films, Category:African actors, etc. Otherwise, if there's a dedicated bot for this kind of requests that I'm not aware of, by all means let me know.
