This page is for requesting permissions that do not require community discussion, including rollback and custodian tools. For sysop or bureaucrat tools, see requests for adminship.


AutoWikiBrowser

AutoWikiBrowser (abbreviated to AWB) is a semi-automated MediaWiki editor designed to make tedious or repetitive tasks quicker and easier. It is essentially a browser that automatically opens up a new page when the last is saved. When set to do so, it suggests some changes (typically formatting) that are generally meant to be incidental to the main change. The use of AWB at an edit rate fast enough to flood the Recent changes should be taken to a separate account designated for AWB and given the bot flag.

Requirements

By signing, you acknowledge that holding an account with a bot flag is a level of community trust, and that the flag can be revoked at any time the community finds necessary. Should your account get any additional tools beside the bot flag, you agree to uphold the same standards levied on that particular usergroup. You promise not to violate wiki policy with the bot account. You also forfeit your right to participate in community discussions with the bot account (please use your main account instead). You confirm that you have read the regulations concerning AWB accounts and agree to them. Signing below is an indication that you accept these terms and conditions.

Requests

To request AWB access, edit this section and append {{RfAWB|<insert name here>}}, leaving a note of what you intend to use AWB for. To request the bot flag on an AWB account, add |AWB username as a second parameter. Sysops who want to transfer sysop tools should add |sysop to the third parameter.

Instructions for bureaucrats

  1. Discuss with the user the tasks they intend to perform using AWB.
  2. Update the list of AWB accounts and list of highlighted bots.
  3. Assign the bot right (and any other right) if requested.

Other Requests

Requests for permissions other that those listed above, including requests for the reinstatement of tools by returning administrators can be made below.
