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 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, please consult the Bot Approvals Group or bureaucrats' noticeboard about adding AWB access.
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.

To save time with repetitive tasks on articles that I contribute to frequently, and articles I stumble across doing other work and which seem to have been neglected or in need of a good tune-up or more.   - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) 04:45, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Did that "Extraneous header or other inappropriate text was removed from this request" auto-message cause problems?   - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) 14:29, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Markworthen: No, it didn't. The admins who usually handle AWB perm are not much active recently. But they should come along soon. Maybe Xaosflux might assess your request. —usernamekiran(talk) 22:26, 29 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
 Done. Primefac (talk) 23:24, 29 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Using AutoWikiBrowser would make an edit I need to perform on multiple pages (after a page move or page creation) much easier. It would also make small quick edits I'd like to do to multiple pages much easier as well. I'm sure I will find other times this tool would be helpful also.

Fix typoes and other as repetitive things. I would prefer to have it on my alt account, so as to not flood my contributions list. Inops (talk) 21:02, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Just an edit to confirm this is my alt account. --Inopes (talk) 21:03, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

User:AlexTheWhovian

Requesting revocation of access for AlexTheWhovian due to a recent AWB run in which he changed instances of "U.S." to "US" in a couple thousand articles based on a lightly-attended discussion at WT:TV##MOS:US in which he determined consensus to his own question and didn't provide adequate notification of his plans. MOS:US states retain U.S. in American or Canadian English articles in which it is already established, unless there is a good reason to change it yet despite clear levels of objection in that discussion section, he proceeded en masse using the AWB tool. Per WP:AWBRULES #3 this was clearly going to be a controversial change, and per #2 he failed to apply the guideline which says to retain usage. By my rough count he made about 2760 edits over 4.5 hours (about 10 edits per minute). Certainly, a much higher level of consensus and notification should have been required prior to such a massive undertaking. -- Netoholic @ 22:04, 1 July 2018 (UTC) Netoholic @ 22:04, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
 Already done (automated response): This user already has AutoWikiBrowser access. — MusikBot talk 22:10, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Striking bot auto-response as this is a removal request. If this is the wrong forum, let me know. -- Netoholic @ 22:30, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Netoholic: Please request at WP:AN/I per Wikipedia:Requests for permissions#Removal of permissions. — JJMC89 (T·C) 23:08, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
