Page to request the ability to use AutoWikiBrowser From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

AutoWikiBrowser

Sorry, temporary accounts 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 want to find all the pages titled Thout 1, Thout 2, Thout 3, etc and redirect them to Thout, and do this for all the other articles about Category:Days of the Coptic calendar. This is because those pages are hard to maintain, and all the information on them is on the month articles anyway. But there are 366 of them, so it would be very tedious to do this manually. 🎸平沢唯は俺の嫁🐱 ( talk | contribs ) 22:43, 29 March 2026 (UTC)

AWB was removed for inactivity. I have now returned and intend to use it for completing WP:LUGSTUBS2. BilledMammal (talk) 03:48, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to request AWB access for myself. It would aid me to go through lists of typos and correct them in a more efficient manner. Thanks in advance. ☾⟣✦Inzessin✦⟢☽(talk) 22:27, 15 April 2026 (UTC)

I would like to join in on the fun regarding fixing typos, and improving articles which may have mistakes. I have experience in using automated tools (like AntiVandal, etc.), and copyediting articles, so I believe I can be trusted with this right.
