AutoWikiBrowser

Sorry, unregistered users cannot be granted permissions due to technical restrictions. Please create an account in order to request user account permissions.
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.Especially for new users, it is helpful (although not strictly required) to explain what specific task you intend to use AWB to do in your request. You do not usually need AWB access to:

I'd like to effectively change articles without taking a lot of time to manually edit them one-by-one, especially for edits that are excessively repetitive--the same information copied and pasted over and over again. Information may not be changed quickly or left unchanged at all in some rare cases. Bugnaw fang 02:41, 17 October 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I hope AWB/JWB can help with bulk minor copy-editing. My main area of focus is incorrect capitalizations, especially of medical terms.

I have used AWB and JWB on other Wikipedias (itwiki, eswiki) and on non-Wikipedia projects (wikiHow, Miraheze) without any issues, if that counts for something.

Thank you for your consideration ^_^ TheZoodles (talk) 12:02, 20 October 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I'm requesting AWB rights mostly for common errors (hyphen-endash-emdash) in grammar and spelling, especially in weather/tropical cyclone articles. Additionally, those articles have common errors or widespread practices that have since changed, such as the color RfC, and lots of pages have not been updated to reflect those changes.

I plan to use AWB rights for performing small changes en masse, such as categorizing redirects and changing wikilinks. I am bad at usernames (talk | contribs) 01:20, 22 October 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I have been manually working on subcategorization and working on adding proper categories to articles about species, one aspect of my editing involves placing {{[[Genus]]-stub}} into multiple articles, which requires a lot of manual labour. I found out about this tool and would like to have it to facilitate my editing. Zalaraz (talk) 02:43, 22 October 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Hello, I request AutoWikiBrowser rights to generally help apply consistent templates and make efficient edits across many pages. I saw it on WP:JWB.

Thank you. Bagwe Neza (talk) 09:27, 22 October 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Hi, I'd like to use it to add lang templates throughout an article where it would be otherwise too tedious to do so (example) (in particular on articles with Chinese text, though I also intend to use it for other languages). I was recommended AWB by this teahouse question I asked when I was newer. If any less powerful tools can do the same thing, I'd be happy to use it instead.
