Please review the
bureaucrats' noticeboard about adding AWB access.
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:KaerbaqianRen

Would like to organize pages related to Category:Rusyns and related subcategories for WP:WikiProject Rusyns. Also for adding navboxes to said articles where applicable. KaerbaqianRen💬 05:43, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Though I have few edits in the mainspace, I would argue my edits are generally of very high quality. For instance, please see my continuing (and extensive) work on Rusyn language. The categories and pages I'm seeking to organize in related topics are all currently very neglected. And to do the work manually would be a waste of time. That being said, I understand having to wait until I reach 500 edits to reapply for rights. KaerbaqianRen💬 17:43, 10 January 2022 (UTC) (Last edit: 17:45, 10 January 2022 (UTC))[reply]
One of my first projects will be to organize and categorize pages into Category:Rusyn villages based on available sources.

User:Asartea

I occasionally undertake maintenance tasks which require the repetive removal of the same text over and over again, which I believe AutoWikiBrowser would help me with. A project I'm currently looking at is uses of INDEX in mainspace (see also Wikipedia:Edit filter/Requested#Block addition of INDEX in mainspace). -- Asartea Talk | Contribs 19:48, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Improve maintenance, speed-up category changes, and help with standardisation of articles, in particular those relating to architecture, stained glass and biographies of living people in the fields of arts and architecture - as well as easier fixes to articles read casually.

Used this sometimes (especially to fix links after page moves or redirect retargetings) before I lost access due to being inactive for over a year. Requesting access back to do the tasks I used it for previously. Steel1943 (talk) 01:17, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

User:Nathan Obral

Having worked on and expanded multiple pages in recent years and upgraded several to GA status (a few in collaboration with Sammi Brie), this tool would help me immensely refining syntax and linking errors that occasionally arise when using the visual editor, which is typically my go-to with page editing. Other editors have used this tool on my behalf, so it would be nice to relieve them of that responsibility. Nathan Obral • he/him • t • c • 20:55, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

User:Lallint

I like to use bots in bulk to improve pages, for example if you check my contributions i have made quite a few changes using IABot to archive pages and have even made a 50K Byte change to an article, rescuing 230 references. I have also improved the article Roswell P. Flower Memorial Library from Stub to Start. I would like to use this bot to make automated fixes, mostly grammar, to a few pages, mostly pages in Category:Jefferson County, New York and Category:Ivy League.

Wow, really? Even after it says i created Rfd me if u gay? I won't use this for vandalism because i've started to actually take wp more seriously, but you should probably start checking the deleted pages before granting the rights. Either way,
Thanks, Lallint⟫⟫⟫Talk 21:04, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
 Revoked. Taunting an admin for missing blatant vandalism and childish editing isn't the best of ideas. You probably should have just accepted that I overlooked a few things. Primefac (talk) 21:21, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I wasn't taunting you and I already said that i've stopped doing childish editing because I take WP more seriously now, but nevermind then, I was in the middle of bulk changing every article in Category:All articles needing copy edit. Lallint⟫⟫⟫Talk 21:28, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
By making test edits? -- TNT (talk • she/her) 21:29, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I guess I didn't think it would actually change anything since all the other times i used it on 70 other pages it did nothing, and even if it did change it i would revert it right away Lallint⟫⟫⟫Talk 21:34, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
...so can i have my AWB back? pretty please? with a cherry on top? Lallint⟫⟫⟫Talk 21:40, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The short answer is no. The slightly longer answer is that you clearly do not understand when AWB use is appropriate - that category you mention isn't "run AWB and it's fixed!" otherwise it would be empty. Learn to edit Wikipedia without automation, show that you can be productive, and then re-apply. Primefac (talk) 21:46, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I know and also thank you for telling me i can have a second chance instead of blocking me or permanently revoking possibility of AWB Lallint⟫⟫⟫Talk 21:49, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
