FANDOM


This page will identify the different jobs and abilities that each user group has.

BureaucratsEdit

Main article: Help:User rights - Bureaucrats

Bureaucrats are the highest level of trust one can achieve on any wiki. A bureaucrat can only control user permissions, and a few admin related permissions. However, they can make themselves a bureaucrat with administrator permissions if they so choose. Therefore, they fully operate the wiki.

Bureaucrats can promote users into the following groups:

  • Rollbackers
  • Discussion Moderators
  • Content Moderators
  • Administrators
  • Bureaucrats

Bureaucrats can demote users from the following groups:

  • Rollbackers
  • Discussion Moderators
  • Content Moderator
  • Administrators
  • Bots

One major thing to keep in mind is that bureaucrats can only be demoted by themselves, or by official Wikia staff. No other user can demote a bureaucrat, even a bureaucrat cannot demote another bureaucrat.

Bureaucrats can issue notices, warnings and blocks to users.

AdministratorsEdit

Main article: Help:User rights - Administrators

An administrator is someone who manages the entire wiki. They are able to change the global theme and style of the wiki, edit Mediawiki pages, toggle the different features of a wiki, block, and promote users among other things.

Admins inherit the permissions of every other group. They are given a very high level of trust.

Admins can promote or demote users from the following groups:

  • Autopatrol
  • Chat moderators
  • Discussion Moderators

Administrators can issue notices, warnings and blocks to users.

Content ModeratorsEdit

Main article: Help:User rights - Content Moderators

A content moderator is someone who manages the actual written and uploaded content on the wiki. Content moderators are able to delete and move pages, delete and move files, reupload files, protect and remove protection from pages or files, and become part of the edit patrol. Part of their job is to minimize vandalism and edit wars.

Content Moderators can issue notices and warnings to users.

Discussion ModeratorsEdit

Main article: Help:User rights - Discussion Moderators

A discussion moderator is someone who manages the forum, user message walls, and all article comments. Discussion moderators are able to control discussions in a very different way. They can close and open topics, highlight important topics, move topics to another board, and organize the main forum. These abilities are useful for controlling topics that may have gone "off-the-tracks". However, moderators should not resemble the police, and should instead act as normal users and be part of the discussion.

Discussion Moderators can issue notices to users.

Chat ModeratorsEdit

Main article: Help:User rights - Chat Moderators

A chat moderator is someone who manages the chat room. Chatmods are able to kick-ban users from the chat room, and are able to specify the length of the ban. A chatmod should be seen as a leader and facilitator of discussion. They are there to help users start talking, or to answer questions they may have. However, moderators should not resemble the police, and should instead act as normal users and be part of the conversation.

Chat Moderators can issue notices to users.

RollbackersEdit

Main article: Help:User rights - Rollbackers

A rollbacker is someone who has access to the rollback tool. This tool is used to revert multiple edits at one time. As such, it can be used to clean up spam and vandalism very quickly. A rollbacker is trusted to use the tool for the betterment of the community. They are not to use the tool as a means of blocking an editor from adding content, that is the job of an administrator.

AutopatrolEdit

A user in the autopatrol group is someone who has their edits automatically patrolled by the system. Whenever a new user makes an edit, it is marked in the recent changes list for administrators and content moderators. The local staff will review the content to ensure it is not spam or harmful content, and will then manually mark the edit as patrolled. An administrator will place a user in the autopatrol group when they believe that user no longer needs manual patrolling, and is trusted to make constructive edits.

Registered UsersEdit

Main article: Help:User rights - Registered Users

A registered user is one who has created an account with Wikia. These users are able to create and maintain a profile, change their preferences, remove ads from articles (except on main pages), and upload files or videos.

Anonymous UsersEdit

Anonymous users are those who haven't created an account with Wikia. These users are known through their IP addresses and are limited to making edits and posting comments. However, certain wikis will block anonymous editing, which then limits anonymous users to only viewing those wikis.
