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've been making a bunch of fairly mechanical changes, adding blp= to pages, and other maintenance category fixups. Kspiers (talk) 01:20, 15 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:Pro-anti-air

I would like AutoWikiBrowser rights to generally help fix errors in articles quickly, along with cleanup after page moves. The reason I'm requesting now is because I just learned about WP:JWB] --pro-anti-air ––>(talk)<–– 01:52, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:Bugnawfang

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. Bugnawfang 02:41, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'd like to make improvements on somewhat neglected Wikiprojects like the Hinduism wikiproject. This tool will allow me to work much more efficiently. --Faketuxedo (talk) 06:06, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:PhuzBot

I currently have a BRFA in a trial, and would like the AWB permission added to my bot account. I am not yet requesting the bot flag until the BRFA is fully approved. Here's an edit to prove I own the account in question. Phuzion (talk) 20:38, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done Deleting my decline comment above (violating WP:TPO) convinced me you are still not ready to have access to this tool. * Pppery * it has begun... 03:55, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies, and I understand, though I'd like to clarify that i was attempting to maintain clarity by avoiding duplicate comments. Removing my own comment would have orphaned yours and would have potentially caused confusion as to whom the reply was intended for. I am aware of WP:TPO and thought it was permissible under those terms, but it seems I didn't review the exception for "Removing[ing] duplicate sections" carefully. Feel free to message me at any point if you reconsider, otherwise thanks for reviewing. Faketuxedo (talk) 08:21, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
