I want to get into the swing of helping out in more ways other than RCP/PCP. Manually editing each article can only do so much. This would be handy to have. Synorem (talk) 06:14, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any specific task in mind for this? * Pppery * it has begun... 21:58, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Particularly for tasks like fixing broken templates and adding article-improvement templates. Since I frequently go through hundreds of articles a day via Huggle, AWB would help by allowing me to quickly add these templates without having to manually search for them and copy-paste them into each article. A recent issue that comes to mind was dealing with a few instances of {{cn}} spam, as seen here and here. This would help clear up stuff like this.

Requesting AWB rights to help with post-move cleanup when I'm doing some RM closures (as closer/page mover) that require bulk wikilinks updating. If it's a handful I've done it by hand, but it would be nice to have a helping automated hand to help with it in bulk rather than having to open all the pages manually to clean up the links.

 Done You may want to consider using User:BilledMammal/Move+ instead though. * Pppery * it has begun... 02:37, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. And I'll take a look at Move+ as I was using rmCloser so far. Thanks for the tip :) Raladic (talk) 18:02, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
