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 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 like regular expressions and fixing typos. LordDiscord (talk) 02:26, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done Mere days after having been warned for trolling and threatened with a block is not the right time to request advanced permissions. * Pppery * it has begun... 15:16, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
To clarify: 1) I wasn’t “threatened” with a block. 2) My understanding of the consensus was that most did not think I was trolling, just not aware of community expectations for admins, which is why I offered and was advised to avoid that space (and other noticeboard stuff) and focus on page edits (which nobody had any issues with). 3) This is why I requested this in the first place, to focus more on edits everyone approved of. For example, recently I went through and fixed dozens of “ths”/“thr”/etc. typos [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] (etc.) but they are difficult to go through without a regular expression, because practically all “THR” and “THS” are correct, while practically all “ ths ” and “ thr ” are wrong. But I can’t differentiate these with the main search function, so it is more time-consuming than it should be.
Anyway, you obviously have every right to decline me, but I think you could have worded this much more kindly. LordCollaboration (talk) 17:13, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have create multiple articles which are rated well and want to tool to simplify editing and maintaining them and other articles. Dahawk04 Talk 💬 16:37, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Dahawk04: how does access to AWB help with their maintenance? And could you please ensure your signature meets accessibility criteria set out in WP:SIGAPP; the green+white is too difficult to read. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 10:37, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
