I want to fix semiautomatic some issues in descriptions of uploaded pictures by polish users: lack of some informations regarding locations, status of the monuments, proper categories and licenses etc. I have some experience with AWB on Polish Wikidepia: ~500k edits on my bot account - if it's possible I would preffer to edit on that account: EmptyBot. Thank you for any answer Emptywords (talk) 23:49, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
✓ Granted AWB permission for User:Emptywords. User:EmptyBot could be done as well if it were approved at Commons:Bots/Requests. Please ask there, should be no big deal. Dziękuję za wkład. --Achim55 (talk) 21:49, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am a enwiki admin and long time AWB user. I would like to use AWB for updating 130 links to an enwiki file that is being deleted. Minimal commons experience but lots of AWB experience and I know when I'm out of my element. Thank you. Trialpears (talk) 16:57, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am in need of a way to recategorize a large number of pages (see here for details). I cannot use Cat-a-lot as the pages are categorized using a template. I am registered to use AWB on English Wikipedia (see here to verify). Thank you. - ZLEA T\C 21:50, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Active Commons user. I have AWB access on en Wikipedia and am very familiar with it. Looking to make my life a bit easier when categorizing subcategories and such. Thank you. – Pbrks (t • c) 23:00, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am an active Commons user, I have AWB access on French Wikipedia and am familiar with it. I would like to facilitate repetitive tasks I sometimes do, and in particular I need to correct a mistake on several dozen pages. Thank you. — Baidax 💬 19:08, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I would like to use AWB to improve file descriptions. I am familiar with its features because I've used AWB a lot on a small MediaWiki site. Thank you. Kcx36 (talk) 06:30, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm a global renamer, and the user whose username was changed (Tweedle) asked me to handle the files he uploaded, and change the creator to his new username. I have permission to use the tool on hewiki, and I use the tool on other sites, where the tool is open to everyone (for example: hewikisource). If there are any further questions, I will be happy to answer. Thank you. Neriah (talk) 12:21, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
User in question here, this would be very much appreciated if this right could be granted! I have alot of files on here which I would like to rename to my new username without having to tediously go through it all one by one. Thanks! Tweedle (talk) 16:33, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@CptViraj By the way, maybe I should add the Autopatrol permission? This is a big batch of edits, and it will burden the patroller. Neriah (talk) 20:07, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Neriah You are already autopatrolled on all wikis because you are a global rollbacker. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 22:54, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I have been recently working in Commons as a part of Project Korikath. As a part of the maintenance of the Project uploads, I feel the need for this software, especially, to add Project Template to those files not directly uploaded via upload wizard campaign. Also we are planning other Projects curving out from Project Korikath. I will be needing AWB for the maintenance of those project uploads, too. I have previous experience using the software on bnwiki. So, it will be very relieving for me to have access here on Commons. Regards — Meghmollar2017Talk08:13, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I'd like to have access to the AutoWikiBrowser tool so I can more easily remove some pointless licensing information from thousands of files related to Allentown, Pennsylvania. Since I guess that's the best way to go about it per this conversation on the bot work request board. Thank you. Adamant1 (talk) 16:08, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I need to edit large numbers of pages to correct template errors and update license/categorization information. Thank you. JPxG (talk) 22:09, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@JPxG: Can you please give some example diffs? -- CptViraj (talk) 17:51, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Of using AWB or of editing image properties? I am a sysop and AWB-approved on enwp, so I could give you links to some of my edit runs/ regexes there. Here, I do not really edit image properties much, because I tend to upload larger batches of photos and want to avoid RSI. I can give you a trivial example of something that needs to be done for my own images: somebody erroneously added File:Tumbleweed Fire, Los Angeles County 2021, Part 10.jpg, File:Tumbleweed Fire, Los Angeles County 2021, Part 9.JPG, File:Tumbleweed Fire, Los Angeles County 2021, Part 8.JPG, File:Tumbleweed Fire, Los Angeles County 2021, Part 7.JPG, File:Tumbleweed Fire, Los Angeles County 2021, Part 6.JPG, File:Tumbleweed Fire, Los Angeles County 2021, Part 5.JPG, File:Tumbleweed Fire, Los Angeles County 2021, Part 4.JPG, File:Tumbleweed Fire, Los Angeles County 2021, Part 3.JPG, and File:Tumbleweed Fire, Los Angeles County 2021, Part 2.JPG to Category:Tumbleweeds. It would also be nice to update the information template with something more informative than "A camera" which is what I had originally typed when I uploaded them.

Motivated at present by the fact that searching and nominating further categories for inclusion in Commons:Categories_for_discussion/2023/11/Category:Taken_through_Hoya_ND400_filter_+_Hoya_ND8_filter_+_Hoya_PRO1_Digital_Circular_Polarisation_filters_+_Panasonic_Lumix_DMC-FZ330 would require a *lot* of unnecessarily tedious manual work, even with existing gadgets. However, would likely use it for other things in future if available. Thank you. Ubcule (talk) 16:10, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I want to use the AWB tool to help me contribute to the categorisation. Thank you. 瑞丽江的河水 (talk) 15:55, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@瑞丽江的河水: Hi. I see that you have figured to use Cat-a-lot. Do you still require AWB access as the former is the more easier and common way to work with cats on Commons? -- CptViraj (talk) 13:38, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@CptViraj: Hi, I still require AWB. Although Cat-a-lot is commonly used, sometimes it is not as convenient as AWB.--瑞丽江的河水 (talk) 13:44, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
