{{WP:PERM/Subpage|shortcut=AWB|subpage=AutoWikiBrowser|notice=

Please review the AWB guide before making a request. Users are rarely approved unless they have either {{WP:AWB/Non-automated mainspace count}} non-automated mainspace edits or {{WP:AWB/Mainspace count}} total mainspace edits. You can check your non-automated contributions on [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/autoedits 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.{{pb}}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.{{pb}}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.{{pb}}Please note that administrators may not ping you in replies, so please check on your request if you have not heard anything.{{pb}}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. {{pb}} 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)

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)

• {{rfplinks|1=GalStar}}

I was planning on adding the source attribute for some old charts and adding some coordinates and though it might be far less tedious to use AWB than to do it manually. GalStar (talk) 04:48, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

I'm requesting AWB access to assist with cleaning up articles that include promotional or AI-generated language. I plan to use the tool to remove vague or non-neutral phrasing, apply templates like "advert" or "tone", and make general formatting, grammar, and maintenance edits more efficiently.

:{{comment|Automated comment}} This user has had 1 request for autowikibrowser declined in the past 90 days ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:PermaLink/1286968731#User:JesusisGreat7]). — MusikBot ^talk 17:10, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

:: {{not done}} You're still WP:Hat collecting and requesting far too many permissions far too often. And the rationale for this one is kind of lacking: AWB can't really {{tq|remove vague or non-neutral phrasing}} or {{Tq|apply templates like "advert" or "tone"}} because it lacks any natural language processing capabilities and can't tell whether the phrasing is vague/non-neutral or the tag is justified. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 04:29, 14 June 2025 (UTC)

:::@Pppery Fair point. Since AWB relies on human review, I plan to use it to remove emotive terms like prominent or renowned, which I’ve noticed in many pages—especially upon closer reading. Jesus isGreat7 ☾⋆ | Ping Me 05:54, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
