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.
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.

User:Red Shogun412

Hello,

I would like to request AWB user rights to assist with link retargeting and related maintenance tasks on the English Wikipedia, specifically as it pertains to comics-related articles. My primary goal is to efficiently update links to comply with WP:NCC, ensuring that pages link to the current, correct article titles.

While I have been using the Move+ tool, I find that it does not fully meet the scale and complexity of my ongoing work, especially when dealing with numerous backlinks and links with section anchors or piped text. AWB’s batch editing capabilities and advanced find-and-replace options are essential for streamlining these tasks and maintaining consistency across many pages.

Additionally, I have experience using tools like the redirect helper for managing redirect categorization templates, which complements the link updating work I intend to perform using AWB. I am committed to following Wikipedia’s guidelines and best practices when using AWB.

Thank you for considering my request.

Best regards, Red Shogun412 (talk) 22:12, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
