Power-editing with AutoWikiBrowser

Would you like to know what the power users of Wikipedia use to edit it? The AutoWikiBrowser, of course.

AutoWikiBrowser (aka AWB) is a semi-automatic Wikipedia editor. It works on lists of pages, and automatically takes you to the next page on the list when you are done with the current one.
