From Support Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

For a complete list of user groups and their corresponding rights, see Special:ListGroupRights on your wiki. Please note, some large wikis (such as the Warcraft Wiki) may have some additional groups, and some meta wikis (such as the support wiki) may be missing some of these groups.

List of groups

wiki.gg Staff
Reserved for wiki.gg staff members.
Permissions administrators
Admins who can assign administrators, interface administrators, and bots.
Administrators
Users who can delete pages, block/unlock users, and patrol revisions. Typically on wiki.gg, administrator & interface administrator are given together, but this is not a requirement.
Interface administrators
Users who can edit pages in the MediaWiki: namespace – most notably CSS & JS (including gadgets), and system messages. Typically on wiki.gg, administrator & interface administrator are given together, but this is not a requirement.
Comment moderators
Users with permission to moderate Extension:CommentStreams.
Autopatrolled users
Have one's own edits automatically marked as patrolled.
Autoconfirmed users
A group which is allocated upon confirming one's e-mail address, or making more than 5 edits and having an account for more than 3 days, allowing users to suppress redirects from source pages when moving pages.
Confirmed email
A group which is given to users who have confirmed their e-mail address, allowing them to edit semi-protected pages.
Users
Users who are logged-in.
Bots
Accounts that will be performing automated tasks. Bots have higher rate limits, and their changes are (usually) hidden from Special:RecentChanges.
TITANs
Users with global admin and interface admin. This role is given to highly trusted users who either (1) consistently help multiple wikis and can better provide help if they're able to edit protected pages directly; or (2) (not implemented yet) are interested in proactively finding and clearing out spam and vandalism on the entire platform, particularly on inactive wikis or wikis without local admins.
