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. Also, this page is for requesting AWB Access for this wiki (English Misplaced Pages) only. Other projects have their own check pages and you should ask local sysops to add you there. Thank you.

Names

Please add your name to the bottom of the list using *{{AWBUser|your username}} ~~~~~ (write it exactly as it is, don't add underscores instead of spaces or change case of first letter). (That's 5 tildes). If the list contains entries that are over 48 hours old, please mention this (nicely) at WP:AN, and an admin should be by shortly to process the requests. Note that users with under 500 mainspace edits are RARELY approved. Also, you only need to give a reason for wanting AWB access if you have fewer than 500 mainspace edits! If approved, your name will be added to the CheckPage.
Example of code format: * {{AWBUser|Username}} ~~~~~
(5 tildes post the date stamp)

 Not done Your edits to articles are 484, below the normal 500 for which we would grant use of AWB. However, a block within the last two weeks worries me that you don't yet fully understand our policies, and accordingly, I think some water needs to pass under the bridge before this can be considered. You are, however, welcome to seek a second opinion. Rodhullandemu 22:36, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
Oh, sorry. I thought it was the Total edits, which I have 1942, but its only article edits. Alright. I was blocked for 12 hours, for making a mistake, which I had already apologized for before the block. Just some miscommunications, people not explaining what bothered them right away, regretfully. My other block was for reverting an article more than three times, because I thought it was allowed if someone was vandalizing the article by removing the Rescue tag, which others agreed. That block was 24 hours. Anyway, I'll apply again once I have 500 edits. Dream Focus 01:56, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
I'd like a second opinion now. :) I now have 500 edits to Articles. Also, since the block was for something minor, and it was just a misunderstanding, and I did apologize for my mistake before the block, they just not seeing where, I don't think that should be held against me. And whether it happened weeks ago, or a lifetime ago, it wouldn't make any difference. It isn't like I bother giving it any thought on a daily basis, now that it is said and gone.

Perhaps, to alleviate our concerns, you could elaborate on what you task(s) you plan on completing with AWB? –xeno (talk) 19:35, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
Whenever there is a vote to Keep for an article, if anyone tries to then merge it without first gaining consensus, as often happens, I wish to automatically contact everyone who participated in the AFD discussion, regardless of their vote, and inform them of the discussion. Some really sneaky people wait weeks before going back to an article the majority wanted to keep, and eliminating it, replacing it with a redirect elsewhere, and not even 1% of the information actually merged anywhere. Shameless really. So, in that case, I wish to gather up all those who participated before hand, so that a proper consensus can be formed. Dream Focus 17:26, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Edit counter tool

Links to a tool that doesn't work. Suggest the link is to Special:Preferences instead. AndrewRT(Talk) 21:23, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

It may be slow, but I don't have a problem with it; the problem with Special:Preferences is that each user can see only their own info, which wouldn't be any use to us. --Rodhullandemu 21:28, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
I was going to post the same, then realised, he meant on Misplaced Pages:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage/Guide (i think), so have updated that. —Reedy 21:29, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
FWIW, I usually just click the "contribs" and then if there's an "older 500" bluelinked I know they have at least 500 mainsapce edits =) –xeno (talk) 21:31, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
Thanks - done now. I was referring to Misplaced Pages:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage#Guide which suggested users check their own edit count before requesting AWB. Not sure why it's appeared here (it was meant to appear on the template talk page but there's a few redirects and templating going on!! AndrewRT(Talk) 21:36, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
