I plan to replace archive.today or other deprecated archives with web.archive.org, for which AWB would be more than useful. 🐠 formerly U.T. 08:34, 14 September 2026 (UTC)
- i’m not a permission granter person, but what makes AWB better for that task? — Aurora :3 • (📭|edits) 10:11, 17 September 2026 (UTC)
- @Ikan, are you familiar with the stand alone tool mentioned in Wikipedia talk:Archive.today guidance#Links to other discussions and advice? If that doesn't meet your needs maybe open a topic on that page, I might be willing to enhance it. Dw31415 (talk) 02:16, 30 September 2026 (UTC)
- Very honestly: it doesn't fit my needs. I wish that I would be able to hunt for archive.today external links on other wikis; also, at many occasions it cannot find an alt, despite the alt exists (at another location, redirected). 🐠 formerly U.T. 02:31, 30 September 2026 (UTC)
- Note that this page is only for the right to use AWB on enwiki. Some other wikis let anyone use it, others have their own separate whitelists. * Pppery * it has begun... 02:43, 2 October 2026 (UTC)

Want to start with typo-fixing to get a feel for AWB, then do other things like creating talk pages and such :3 pattersonuwu njz (talk) 19:26, 29 September 2026 (UTC)

I am requesting AWB/JWB access to assist with repetitive maintenance edits such as fixing wikilinks, formatting, and other routine cleanup. I understand that I am responsible for reviewing every edit and following the AWB guidelines. I am still building my editing experience and would like to use JWB carefully for appropriate repetitive tasks. YusHau (talk) 21:05, 29 September 2026 (UTC)
- Hi YusHau, as explained in the green notice at the top of this section,
"Users are rarely approved unless they have either 250 non-automated mainspace edits or 500 total mainspace edits"
. As you currently have 13 edits in mainspace, I am unable to approve your request.
Not done for now.Additionally, most of your article edits to date appear to be LLM-generated (due to their edit summaries), including the edits you made after acknowledging a warning for LLM misuse. Please note that LLM misuse is disqualifying for permission requests, and persistent LLM misuse will lead to the loss of editing privileges. — Newslinger talk 11:57, 3 October 2026 (UTC)

I plan to semi-automate some typo fixes that I have already been making manually. I have completed several hundred of these edits, mainly removing incorrect spaces between the last word and the following punctuation mark.
I would like to request AWB/JWB access, as these tools would be very useful for handling this type of repetitive maintenance work more efficiently. My intended workflow is to identify the relevant cases, apply the correction, review the result, and save the edit.
I understand that I remain responsible for reviewing every edit and for following the AWB/JWB guidelines. I am still building my editing experience and intend to use JWB carefully and only for appropriate repetitive maintenance tasks. Score Beethoven (talk) 09:47, 30 September 2026 (UTC)

I'd like to fix typos, add navboxes, and do other basic tasks. Thanks! Helpful Cat🐈 09:37, 2 October 2026 (UTC)

I want to use AutoWikiBrowser to speed up my deorphaning process as well as for general maintenance tasks. Script7921 (talk) 14:26, 2 October 2026 (UTC)
