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:UnitedStatesian

Now I find I want to start doing edits that go beyond my manual abilities. Note: I will be using WP:JWB. Thanks! UnitedStatesian (talk) 17:47, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
UnitedStatesian, edits such as...? Primefac (talk) 18:47, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
As a result of the Portalspace cleanup efforts, many subpages such as Portal:Martial arts/WikiProjects have been refunded and need need to have the text notice removed from them. This is a task that is challenging to do manually, I am sure there are a bunch of my ~62,000 other edits to the project that would have also benefited from JWB. UnitedStatesian (talk) 23:03, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to approve this request. I'm sure UnitedStatesian will take it easy to start off and ask if unsure about anything. --RexxS (talk) 00:11, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

To help get unassessed articles for WikiProject College Basketball assessed faster and easier. Brian (talk) 05:33, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Brian, genuinely out of curiosity, how do you plan on doing that with AWB? I do a lot of the assessing for WP:AST and I've never found AWB to be useful. Primefac (talk) 18:49, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Primefac, according to WP:VG/A, the Kingbotk plugin that can be added to AWB can help speed up the process, considering there are almost 3,000 pages that need assessing in WP:CBBALL. Brian (talk) 22:10, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to approve this. Let us know how you get on with that plugin, Brian. --RexxS (talk) 00:14, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

To speed up maintaining pages for WP:Curling such as adding pages that should be covered by the WP, assessing pages for the WP, fixing links to disambig pages A202985 (talk) 18:40, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:LittlePuppers

I'd like to request AWB rights for my other account User:LittlerPuppers, mostly for use in typo/grammatical-type corrections. I will also probably be using JWB for a significant portion of these. LittlePuppers (talk) 03:36, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Genericusername57

Lately I've been manually fixing a lot of broken library proxy urls, which have predictable unwanted elements like https://dx.doi.org.exampleproxy.com/10.1234/56789&user=John_Doe. I would like permission to start using JWB on pages with proxy urls. Cheers, gnu57 14:16, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:John M Wolfson

I've been working on an article where I need to repeatedly change things within the article (more specifically, it's an FAC where I've needed to change citation formats) and I think I could make great use of the Find and replace feature, both in that specific case and in similar subsequent cases. John M Wolfson (talk) 03:27, 23 April 2019 (UTC) John M Wolfson (talk) 03:27, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Without prejudice to your request, John M Wolfson, have you tried using an external editor to do 'find and replace' in a single article? Something as simple as notepad++ on Windows (or almost any text editor on Linux) will do that job for you. AWB's power lies in its ability to do similar edits on a whole list of related articles, and perhaps you would find that useful as well. --RexxS (talk) 15:20, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
RexxS, I actually tried it on Microsoft Word, and it went much better than I expected. However, I have learned much about citation expectations and parameters from my FAC experience, and perhaps I could use AWB to automate some citation improvements (such as adding "|url-access=subscription" to all my refs coming from newspapers.com) across all the articles I have created/contributed to, if you feel AWB is necessary and sufficient for such a task.
