Requests for registration

Please read the quick guide on the main page before requesting permission. In applying for AWB access, you indicate that you will abide by that agreement. Thank you.

Names

Please add your name to the bottom of the list using {{AWBUser|your username}}. If the list remains untouched for several days, leave a message on Alphachimp's talk page. Note that users with under 500 mainspace edits are rarely approved. If approved, your name will be added to the CheckPage.
Example of code format: * {{AWBUser|Username}}
Be sure you get your capitalization correct. Your name will be added as shown below.

  • Note that I rejected Jsc83's application several hours ago. He got a lot more reverts in during that time, so he now has 503 mainspace edits. I'm not quite comfortable approving him (there's very little article writing). I'm requesting clarification of how he seeks to use AWB. Cheers, alphachimp 19:11, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

Mistake?

Paragaph: "Also, to reduce bureaucracy, you will not be notified when/if you are added to the list of enabled users. (Instead, keep this page on your watchlist; when you see your name has been removed, you should find you are able to use AutoWikiBrowser) You may add to your user page when you've been added to the list."

should either say 'added' since it's talking about the list of enabled users or it should refer to this discussion page instead of itself (itself, being the 'project page'.

Also, the list of versions has a ". :" which should be replaced with ":" --Seans Potato Business 05:32, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ok, done. Thanks. alphachimp 21:16, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Slight nitpick

On the end of the ==Guide== section, a period should be added. {Slash-|-Talk} 07:04, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why is the page protected, anyways? {Slash-|-Talk} 23:34, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
We're attempting to control access to AWB functionality. By requiring listing on the check page, we are able to effectively limit AWB access to those who have abused it in the past or intend to abuse it in the future. alphachimp 00:16, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think you mean the opposite of what you said. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 21:54, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
For the last part, yes. alphachimp 03:12, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, so only users who are listed can use it. Thanks for the clarification. {Slash-|-Talk} 06:37, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a reason why this page has no interwikilinks? Just curious, wanted to click back to the Dutch CheckPage... and found out I couldn't. Cheers, Niels|en talk-nl talk (faster response)| 02:15, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, that's a great idea. I'm adding them now. —METS501 (talk) 07:40, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I've added more interwikis to the Dutch Checkpage after you adding them here. Cheers, Niels|en talk-nl talk (faster response)| 05:06, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note

I changed my username from Orderinchaos78 to Orderinchaos per this process. I messed up with the edit summary, so thought I'd post it here with the correct link. If everything is fine, this note can probably be removed. Orderinchaos 06:31, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AutoWikiBrowser for other wikis

I am trying to use AutoWikiBrowser for our own MediaWiki based wiki. I put the address into the custom box and it lets me login, but Its says I am not authorised to use it. Do I have to have my name on wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage or can I put it on my own check page on my wiki? I have tried but it doesn't seem to work.

If there is no checkpage, it should just work fine. I've seen it on some custom wiki's, that it just has trouble getting the login hooks, and then cant work properly... Reedy Boy 11:31, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
