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 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.

I want to get into the swing of helping out in more ways other than RCP/PCP. Manually editing each article can only do so much. This would be handy to have. Synorem (talk) 06:14, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any specific task in mind for this? * Pppery * it has begun... 21:58, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Particularly for tasks like fixing broken templates and adding article-improvement templates. Since I frequently go through hundreds of articles a day via Huggle, AWB would help by allowing me to quickly add these templates without having to manually search for them and copy-paste them into each article. A recent issue that comes to mind was dealing with a few instances of {{cn}} spam, as seen here and here. This would help clear up stuff like this.

User:Synpath

I've been making edits to chemistry/drug-related articles that add the class=skin-invert-image filter to molecular line drawings and other diagrams with dark shapes on light/transparent backgrounds. This makes them a lot more readable in dark mode and is the suggestion on how to handle this per [1]. It's becoming more and more of a pain to do this manually, and I think a touch of regex will make this easier for me.

For an example, check out Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist and what it looked like before adding the filters here. ― Synpath 00:17, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Synpath I've granted your request for AWB access. I'm excited to see the work you'll do, it's important and requires a specialized skill set that not everyone has. In 30-45 days (might take me awhile with the holidays coming up) I'll review your AWB edits and leave a note on your talk page. This isn't meant to be disruptive, imply that you've done anything wrong, or signal that I don't trust you or your work. Just a polite check in to make sure everything is going smoothly and to help give you some tips and feedback. I made some silly mistakes when I was first granted AWB access so it's just my way of helping others not screw up like I did. If you have any questions or run into any issues please feel free to leave a message on my talk page and I'll try my best to help you. Dr vulpes (Talk) 19:51, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the approval and the interest! I've induced my fair share of facepalming because of semi-automated experiments, so I'll be glad for a review of the edits down the line to catch anything I might have missed. ― Synpath 20:50, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I will like to request access to AWB. My primary objective for requesting access is to be able to streamline my repetitive editing tasks and improve my efficiency in maintaining the article's consistency across the Wikipedia network. If granted access, my focus will be on tasks like; fixing formatting issues and correcting typos. My process surely aligns with Wikipedia's guidelines.

Editing one-by-one on Wikipedia is quite the job. As a student who is concerned about Time Effiiciency, granting me access to the AWB will not only boost my productivity, it will also boost my morale. Gonisulaimann (talk) 22:52, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Gonisulaimann  Not done Looking at your edit history, it doesn't appear that you are familiar enough with Wikipedia's policies and procedures yet to be trusted with automated tools such as AWB. You have had several recently declined drafts, the bizarre edit history of Federation of Muslim Women's Associations of Nigeria that includes frequent blanking and unblanking as well as copyright violations, improper removal of deletion templates here and here, improper changing of other people's !votes in a deletion discussion here, and a recent username change that appears to have been done to hide a conflict of interest. --Ahecht (TALK
