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 with under 250 non-automated mainspace edits or 500 total mainspace edits are rarely approved. You can check your non-automated contributions on XTools. Administrators are automatically approved and do not need to request access. For bots, please consult the Bot Approvals Group or 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:Amiodarone

I'd really like to help out the typo team and AWB would be awesome; doing those lists manually takes considerable time. I mostly contribute to Wikipedia by fixing errors and/or vandalism. AmioDarone (talk) 20:23, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Automated comment This user has approximately 23 non-automated edits in the mainspace. — MusikBot talk 04:40, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Do I have to meet both edit criteria? I was reading the "or" as to mean either one is acceptable... I don't have a problem WP:SNOW withdrawing and freeing some backlog. AmioDarone (talk) 04:29, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I read the bot response incorrectly. I see it means now it's one or the other. Disregard what's struck through please AmioDarone (talk) 08:08, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done – But please come back when you have 250 non-automated edits. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 00:47, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@EdJohnston: Do I have to wait 3 months in between requests? Or, can I can just manually edit what I'm using tools for? It wouldn't take over a few days? Sry to bother you. AmioDarone (talk) 03:19, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Will reply on your talk page. EdJohnston (talk) 14:51, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:SharabSalam

I want to see how this tool work. I have been doing some copyeditting and removing test edits from multiple articles and I think this tool would be helpful. thanks. SharabSalam (talk) 17:42, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. AWB isn't really good for use with reverting people's edits - you'd be better off using STiki or Huggle. Primefac (talk) 17:36, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:CalOtter

My reason for applying is to help out on the WP:ARB/R pages and Wikipedia:Bot requests. Thanks! CalOtter (talk) 22:21, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Automated comment This user has approximately 7 non-automated edits in the mainspace. — MusikBot talk 22:30, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
{{notdone}} – Please come back when you have 250 non-automated edits in the main space. EdJohnston (talk) 01:02, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see where it says that you need 250 non-automated main space edits? CalOtter (talk) 13:00, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
See the blue box near the top of this page: Users with under 250 non-automated mainspace edits or 500 total mainspace edits are rarely approved. EdJohnston (talk) 14:53, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I see that it says 500 mainspace edits or 250 non-automated mainspace edits? I have 500 mainspace edits. CalOtter (talk) 20:29, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The wording on this page should probably be changed. I personally would not grant AWB to someone who had fewer than 250 non-automated mainspace edits, unless they had a specific need they could explain. But other admins might decide differently. I don't object if another admin wants to go ahead in your case. EdJohnston (talk) 20:43, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've removed my closure above, and am leaving this for the next admin to decide on. EdJohnston (talk) 20:51, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

CalOtter, what sort of edits require the use of AWB at the pages you've listed? Primefac (talk) 19:44, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Primefac: Shoot, I meant the AWB tasks page. Currently, there is a request by Bhunacat10 stating "Would a bot operator please remove the words "the name given to" from the 250-odd articles that have in their first sentence the phrase "Xxx Church is the name given to a religious building..." This phrasing goes against the recommendation at WP:REFERS". If I was granted this right, I would complete this task. Thanks! CalOtter (talk) 23:26, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
{{not done}}, as the discussion you reference seems to indicate that this change shouldn't be made. Combined with the lack of non-automated edits to Wikipedia I'm not quite comfortable granting access at this point at time. Primefac (talk) 01:57, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Not so, Primefac, my request has attracted no comments or action to date. Your link goes to a section below mine: Bhunacat10 (talk), 07:26, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, yes. My apologies. Primefac (talk) 11:52, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:KCVelaga

I had AWB rights for my previous user name "Krishna Chaitanya Velaga". It has been globally renamed to "KCVelaga". I kindly request you to update the list with my current username. KCVelaga (talk) 02:39, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Done. Primefac (talk) 14:04, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
