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 Tool Labs. 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.

User:Brubsby

Requesting autowikibrowser rights to assist in adding screenshots to video game articles and the boilerplate that goes along with that. Brubsby (talk) 15:57, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Brubsby, out of curiosity, what sort of page count is that likely to be? I'm also curious how you're going to automate that, since you'd have to still manually add the images and at that point it's not much different than opening a bunch of pages. Primefac (talk) 15:50, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Primefac, I mostly just wanted to cut down on the boilerplate of manually copying and pasting templated image descriptions and file summaries, as well as removing screenshot requests from talk pages. I'm not sure how much of what I want AWB to do is possible by default, but I am also a programmer and would be interested in writing modules/plugins if the capability doesn't exist. Category:Video game articles requesting screenshots currently includes ~6,200 articles, so there exists a lot of time to be saved from shortening the amount of time doing boilerplate work per screenshot.

User:Illegitimate Barrister

I recently moved an article (this one specifically) to a new title and need to fix the previous links since they now link to a disambiguation page, but there's too many to do on my own manually. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk • contribs), 23:37, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
 Automated comment This user has had this permission revoked in the past 180 days ([1]). — MusikBot talk 23:40, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Illegitimate Barrister, I'm willing to going to grant this, but only if you agree to not go back to the behaviour that resulted in AWB being revoked in the first place. This means no multi-thousand-edit changes without some sort of approval (e.g. WCW tasks or requests for "this needs to be fixed"), no cosmetic/nearly cosmetic editing, etc. Does this sound acceptable to you?

User:Kees08

I would like to make many similar changes to several pages, e.g. changing unmanned/manned to uncrewed/crewed in spaceflight articles. Kees08 (Talk) 06:47, 7 February 2018 (UTC) Kees08 (Talk) 06:47, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
