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, 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.

Hi! I'd like to use AWB to more efficiently work through backlogs of unsupported parameters in templates and overpopulated categories. Thanks :) Pedantical (talk) 19:32, 20 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi, I'm working to correct Māori words that are misspelled, specifically where they are missing macrons. I've developed a tool to identify these and would like to move to AWB for doing the edits. Cheers, nzdjb (talk) 20:25, 8 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

To add a bit more context to this, in recent years, there has been increasing acceptance in Aotearoa, New Zealand of using Māori names various terms. In particular, native fauna and flora now largely have Māori names officially preferred.
With this, there's been significant recognition that many of these names have been incorrectly spelled in media for a long time, by missing macrons. In some cases, this can completely change the meaning.
Wikipedia has not been immune to this and there are many of these errors. I've created a tool (https://github.com/nzdjb/diacritical) that finds instances of words that are commonly missing macrons (e.g. kereru instead of kererū).
I'd like to adapt my tool to output configuration files for AWB and ideally offer options of changing the spelling or adding appropriate templates to mark the instance as "as written", etc.
This will significantly increase the speed with which I can resolve these issues.
If AWB is not the correct tool for this kind of work, that's fine, I can develop the functionality I want, but I'd like to avoid reinventing the wheel. :-) nzdjb (talk) 04:46, 14 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi, I would like to request AWB rights in order to efficiently make repetitive minor edits, such as typo fixes. If I am approved, I would also like AWB rights added to my alt account Evaxooooof25Mobile. Evaxooooof25 (talk) 04:01, 13 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I would like to use the tool to help automate repetitive edits please. Thirdman (talk) 00:46, 16 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

User:Maddy from Celeste

I frequently close requested moves, and sometimes there is a need to update a large number of links in conjunction with a move (if the original title doesn't remain a redirect to the moved article). AWB would be very useful for this. -- Maddy from Celeste (WAVEDASH) 16:14, 17 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

User:SilverTiger12

Reason for requesting autowikibrowser rights: I tend to make gnome-like edits and would like to see how AWB works and if it'll help me improve Wikipedia. SilverTiger12 (talk) 17:22, 21 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
