Editing Brighter Shores:AutoWikiBrowser (section)

===Logging in===
Logging in to AWB can be done with a normal account and password, but it is highly encouraged to login using a BotPassword instead. This helps attribute edits to their sources and limit the ability of bots (particularly sysop bots).

# Login to the bot account in your browser
# Go to [[Special:BotPasswords]]
# Choose a name for the bot - this isn't the account name, but rather a name for the actions this specific login will be doing; it will be appended to your bot's username when logging in. <code>awb</code> is probably a good choice.
# Click create.
# Give the bot some relevant grants for what is is going to be doing. You can hover over the ? to see what the grant is. Some grants you may want:
#* High volume editing
#* Edit existing pages
#* Create, edit, and move pages
#* If you know that you will need them, edit protected pages, edit mediawiki namespace, delete, protect (all required sysop)
# If you are editing from one IP then you can apply an IP range filter to it here, but this is generally better for bots hosted on servers rather than AWB on your local machine.
# You will then be given a password - it will be long and alphanumeric, as well as your username (which will be <code>[bot username]@[name you chose in step 3]</code>, e.g. <code>Gaz Bot@awb</code>) (you don't need the alternative method for AWB). You should save this password somewhere securely, like a password manager. You can't change this password or see it again, but you can change the grants if you need to by selecting the name from [[Special:BotPasswords]].
# In AWB, click the red User: in the bottom-right (or click File > Log in/Profiles...). You can use the quick-login form (checking the save this account checkbox), or add a new profile then clicking login with that profile selected. The username and password will be the ones from the previous step.
# Done! You're ready to start editing.
