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: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.

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.

User:Find bruce

There are more than 2,000 NSW politicians, each of whom have an article here & a bio on the NSW parliament website ... and they changed the url. I have created a simple CS1 specific-source wrapper Template:cite NSW Parliament, I have a table linking all the ID's with their WP article. While I could do it manually, I would like to speed the process up. Find bruce (talk) 12:40, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Find bruce: Template:cite NSW Parliament already has 431 transclusions, so am I right to assume you want AWB access to semi-automate another 1500+ article updates? --RexxS (talk) 15:34, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@RexxS: yes that's exactly what I was hoping to achieve - I have been manually editing to confirm how it is used & it has been suggested to me that AWB will help to semi-automate the process. I have raised the template (& re-member from which it was copied) at the Australian politics project page & got some useful feedback from a couple of editors. Most of the first 100 or so transclusions are current politicians, including the premier & I am not aware of any objections or concerns about the template, but I plan to start slowly with AWB. It has also been suggested that a bot may be a good solution, but little steps first. Find bruce (talk) 22:17, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This is a long-term editor with sensible attitude, plenty of edits and a concentration on content. Coupled with a good reason for using AWB, I'm happy to approve this request. --RexxS (talk) 01:07, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Can you remove the stub tag for the ivory bush coral article? it is no longer a stub

 Automated comment An extraneous header or other inappropriate text was removed from this request — MusikBot talk 17:31, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Okaswad: This isn't the right venue to ask, but I've removed the stub template for you. You could have done that yourself, but I understand your reluctance as a new editor. --RexxS (talk) 19:20, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Declined This editor is a student at Boston University, taking part in a Wikipedia-based assignment on Marine Biology and is still finding out where things are. I think we can archive this section now. --RexxS (talk) 19:20, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Requesting immediate archiving...  — JJMC89 (T·C) 00:42, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
