Requests for registration

This list is only for the English Misplaced Pages. If you want to be registered to use this software, add your name to the bottom of the following list. Any admin can add any user to the list of enabled users. Before using this software, please ensure you are familiar with Misplaced Pages policies/guidelines and the very simple rules of use:

• Check every edit before you save it.
• Don't edit too fast; consider opening a bot account if you are regularly making more than a few edits a minute.
• Don't do anything controversial with it.
• Avoid making insignificant minor edits such as only:

  Adding or removing some white space

  Moving a stub tag or category name

• Abide by all Misplaced Pages guidelines, policies and common practices.

Repeated abuse of these rules will result, without warning, in the software being disabled.

As a rule of thumb, users with fewer than 500 edits in the article namespace will not be added to the list. You can check your edit count through this tool. This is for the en.wikipedia only, other projects do not need to register.

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.

This tool is designed for experienced users to quickly perform specific repetitive tedious tasks, if you don't have a specific need for this then please do not request access for its use, thank you.

Discussion

Page format

Just an idea - it might be better to change users into * ] format -- this way you can use this simple query to get all the users without parsing wiki markup (which can be anything after this), and also have proper links on that page to instantly go to user's pages. You can format the page, make boxes, tables, etc - no need to rewrite a line of code. --Yurik 19:40, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Duplicated user

I just discovered that User:Joanjoc has a duplicated entry in the user list. --WinHunter 16:02, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

I see... an I don't know why... What I would really appreciate is my inclusion on the bot list, because I'm classifying hundreds of pages in ca:Especial:Uncategorizedimages in a series of processes approved by the Catalan community, using AWB :-) --Joanjoc 19:50, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Currently the only way to get on the bot list is to get bot approval here, I am not sure how bots in other projects to can on this list. Btw, "using AWB a lot" is not a valid reason to get on that list by any means, you have to operate a bot and perform only the approved tasks for the bot while in auto mode. --WinHunter 01:05, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi :-) I'm using only AWB in the Catalan wiki, and I'm using this method to login;

1. After run AWB I connect to the english Wiki using my english wikipedia user User:Joanjoc
2. Then I change the language settings in AWB to use the catalan wiki. But not using my catalan wikipedia user ca:User:Joanjoc (sysop user, but no bot)... I'm logged in the catalan wiki with my bot user ca:User:JoanjocBot (approved here; ca:Viquipèdia:La_taverna/Arxius/2006/Abril#Sol·licitud_de_Bot, a user that doesn't exists on the english wikipedia)
3. Using this thecnique I'm using firefox for my admin work in the catalan wiki ca:User:Joanjoc and Internet Explorer/AWB for my bot work in catalan wiki ca:User:JoanjocBot, doing different tasks assigned to bots from ca:Viquipèdia:Bots.
4. For this reasons I'm requesting to include my user "Joanjoc" on the AWB enabled bots list (although is not a bot), then I could use AWB with auto mode enabled from my bot "JoanjocBot" only on the catalan wiki...

Sorry for my poor english... --Joanjoc 21:06, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Bot

BTW, Can someone add my bot to the approved bots? My bot will be running with AWB. Thanks. ForestH2 t/c 02:37, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

user2 -> user5_user5-2006-09-06T15:01:00.000Z">

I am proposing to use user5 template instead of user2 so that other aspects of the user (e.g. block log) can also be considered. --WinHunter 15:01, 6 September 2006 (UTC)_user5"> _user5">

Agreed. I don't see any reason not to do it, so I'll just incorporate it in the example. Feel free to change it back if you disagree. alphaChimp 15:14, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
