This page is for AWB'ers who can't find anything to put it to use on, or who would like to help others with this powerful tool.
Below are tasks for which a page-autoloader with various capabilities would be especially useful. That is, the people posting these tasks need the help of AWB'ers! If you have AWB, please lend a hand. Note that Linky may also be useful for completing the tasks on this list (see WP:OTS#Tabs and tabbing).
Please note that Wikipedia:Bot requests sometimes has one-time tasks which can be done easily using AWB. Similarly, issues at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Working/Manual#Multiple merge targets can also usually be handled with AWB.

Contents
between … to
There are several article that contain grammar:
- between … to (insource:/ [Bb]etween [0-9,.]+ to /)
- between …-… (insource:/ [Bb]etween [0-9,.]+[-–][0-9]/)
- from …-… (insource:/ [Ff]rom [0-9,.]+[-–][0-9]/)
Since there are also false positives, semi-automated corrections are needed. --Leyo 23:44, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
- Working on this, @Leyo:, can you give an example of a false positive, I have yet to find one! crh23 (talk) 17:13, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Crh23: Thanks. False-positives may include publication titles or cases like between 1931–2 and 1938–9 or going from 8–8 to 16–8. --Leyo 19:52, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Leyo: Ahh, I didn't consider either of the second two errors to be honest, I was only fixing the first. Thanks, -crh23 (talk) 20:33, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Crh23: OK, thanks. Have you gone through the first or will you continue? --Leyo 12:05, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Leyo: I'm working through it slowly, but it feels like at least the first one should just be added to the typo regex, as I have yet to reject an edit based on my find & replace. Since it'll still be only semi-automated, publication titles and the few false positives should be caught (note that
insource:/[Bb]etween [0-9,.]+ to [0-9,.]+ and [0-9,.]+/
, which would be the main false positive, returns nothing)— crh 23 (Talk) 12:39, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

Infobox television season granularity edits
Per the discussion at Template talk:Infobox television season/Archive 2#Granularity and Template talk:Infobox television season#Granularity, the {{Infobox television season}} template was modified to support granularity better with these edits. The usages of {{Infobox television season}} need to be updated to use these new variables, and I know that it'll take a good deal of regular expressions in search-and-replace to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Alex|The|Whovian? 06:07, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
- @AlexTheWhovian: is the documentation for the template up to date? It doesn't look like the new parameters are mentioned (I may be wrong, I'm not hugely familiar with infoboxes) — crh 23 (Talk) 18:38, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Crh23: It is now. Alex|The|Whovian? 01:18, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
