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.
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:


User:OpalYosutebito

I'd like to keep using AutoWikiBrowser to better add WikiProjects to talk pages in other languages, such as those in the Vietnamese versions of Establishments in Italy by year, as well as fixing (not necessarily removing like before) unknown parameters in templates.

Your use of AWB appears to have been removed rather than for inactivity - can you explain why or how you will use AWB within the rules and guidelines going forward? Primefac (talk) 19:31, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
{{not done}}, no reply. Primefac (talk) 19:42, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't receive a reply notification, sorry. I will not focus on flat-out removing unknown parameters like before, but instead fixing them (the biggest example being using the "via" parameter instead of "agency" for some of the citation templates). - OpalYosutebito (talk) 01:28, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Cooldudeseven7

Reason for requesting autowikibrowser rights: I have achieved 500 mainspace edits and I feel like this tool will be used so that I can contribute to wikipedia while expanding my knowledge of it- as well as how these tools work. This tool will be handy in my improvement of wikipedia articles no matter stub or good articles. This tool will be so handy in fixing problems that are in multiple articles! Thanks, ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Cooldudeseven7 join in on the tea talk 13:04, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cooldudeseven7, do you actually see a need for this right now or is it just a thing you are wanting to play around with? Primefac (talk) 19:54, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am trying to first make categories follow WP:CATSPECIFIC, I also am trying to do bulk additions of inline citations, as well as general cleanup to articles in bulk. Thanks, ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Cooldudeseven7 join in on the tea talk 12:10, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Primefac, Just following up, is there any news on this thread or is it declined ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Cooldudeseven7 join in on the tea talk 12:20, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Haven't had a chance to look at perms the last few days; if another admin doesn't get to it I should be able to free up some time this weekend. Primefac (talk) 12:35, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Alright,  Thanks ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Cooldudeseven7 join in on the tea talk 13:54, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:RCSCott91

Disambugation links. I really enjoy doing them and I'd like to help bring the "articles with Dab links" number into the 3 digits. If you'll look at my dab history you'll see I have dealt with everything from standard, to Vandalism, to navbox, and even had to update a module for a disambugation link that had been present for a few months. I'm currently null editing manually ~120 pages so they won't be on the dab list and slow anyone else down.

I currently do the majority of my disambugation on mobile, but if granted permission I can allocate two days on desktop to disambiguate. Based on on current normal fluctuations, I'm confident that I can help get disambiguation articles down to triple digits within 3-4 months. (notwithstanding random navbox disambiguation).

I am currently ranked in the top 10 DAB users although that doesn't mean much right now considering the top 2 have about ten times my number. RCSCott91 (talk) 19:22, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification: I can allocate 2 days per week. Sorry for the ambiguity. RCSCott91 (talk) 21:59, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Kumar Dayal

I came across the page Kerala which has duplicate citations. So I would like to try this tool. Kumar Dayal (talk) 13:24, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Polygnotus/DuplicateReferences may be better for duplicate references (AWB isn't great). Primefac (talk) 19:51, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done @Primefac has pointed to a better tool for you to use. If you find a need for this tool at a later date feel free to return and submit another request. Dr vulpes (Talk) 06:10, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Absolutiva

I want to replace these links. For example, "LGBTQ" per WP:CONSUB and "minor-planet" for "minor-planet designation" per WP:HYPHEN and Talk:Minor-planet designation#Requested move 21 September 2021. Absolutiva (talk) 01:34, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Crafterstar

I'd like to use it for typos. Crafterstar (talk) 14:28, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done I'm glad to see you're taking an active role in the community coming off your block. I don't think this would be the best permission for you at this time. If you think of a project or something where this tool would be helpful feel free to come back at a later time and request again. Dr vulpes (Talk) 06:08, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
