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:

fix duplicate references (see User:Polygnotus/DuplicateReferences)
fight vandalism (see WP:CUV/T)
do category maintenance (see WP:CATALOT)
rate articles (see WP:RATER)

Requesting the AWB to perform repetitive tasks. I will mainly use it for adding categories to AFd debates, fixing grammatical error, fixing abuse of tags. Thanks for considering my request. VortexPhantom🔥 (talk) 07:33, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm doing a lot of repetitive edits on articles, fixing typos, improving grammar and adding consistent info across pages, so I need AutoWikiBrowser to make the process smoother. I especially need it for pages related to railway stations and Chak villages, where I've been working on adding almost same information. - PunjabiEditor69 (talk) 17:38, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting access to make minor edits like typos and formatting less tedious, and more efficiently find issues Actualcreature (talk) 16:52, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I’ve created quite a handful of pages on the Nigerian portal, but I often find it difficult to finish everything. I have to drop a shout everytime on GoingBatty’s talk page (didn’t want to ping him) to help tidy things up. I mostly focus on creating pages, and doing all the edits manually doesn’t help. Please consider me for the AutoWikiBrowser permission. Cameremote (talk) I came from a remote place 23:00, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have previously been approved as User:Theknine2, but I have since changed my username to User:TenthAvenueFreezeOut, so I need my old username (Theknine2) to be replaced with my current username inside the list. Thank you! TenthAvenueFreezeOut (talk) 16:43, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I tried WPCleaner and I like the concept, but WPCleaner had some jank and seems less customizable and polished than AWB. I was hoping to clean up typos along with syntax/formatting, and a tool like AWB seems much easier on the eyes for finding problems like that. If it isn't what I am looking for, I'll request permission removal if that is preferable. $Jayhawker6$ 【💬】 22:19, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
