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:

Hello Team, I was looking at this tool and found that it might be useful in the kind of editing I do. I stumble across older pages which havent been looked at in a bit and would like to use some of the resources here to make edits. I have read through the rules and would like to test it out.

 Not done Vague reason for requesting and insufficient experience to qualify for AWB at this time. I looked at your contributions and saw no instances of the type of identical edit to multiple pages in a row that AWB would typically help with. * Pppery * it has begun... 07:12, 7 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting access to AutoWikiBrowser to clean up and organise categories across multiple articles. Currently using Hotcat but figured, AWB would make it more efficient. LionmerterTHE (talk) 07:16, 5 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
