![]() Permissions requested at Requests for permissions only have local rights on the English Wikipedia wiki. ![]() Terms like rights, permissions, bits and flags can refer to both user groups and the individual rights assigned to them. The individual rights that are assigned to user groups are listed at Special:ListGroupRights. All members of a particular user group will have access to these rights. User groups have one or more rights assigned to them for example, the IP block-exempt (IP block exemptions) group has the ' ipblock-exempt' and ' torunblocked' rights. Users are made members of such groups as oversight and checkuser only with the approval of the Arbitration Committee, after signing the Wikimedia Foundation's confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information. Others, such as sysop and bureaucrat, are given only after community discussion and consensus at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship. Other flags are only given upon request some, such as rollbacker, pending changes reviewer, or bot, are granted unilaterally if the user demonstrates a need for them (see Wikipedia:Requests for permissions and Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval). Users are automatically promoted into the autoconfirmed/confirmed users pseudo-group of established users when their account is more than four days old and has ten edits, and the extended confirmed user group later on, at 30 days of age and 500 edits. Many different flags for specialized tasks are also available.įurther information: Wikipedia:Administration § Human and legal administrationĪll visitors to the site, including unregistered users, are part of the * group, and all logged-in registered users are also part of the user group. An editor with more experience and in good standing can attempt to become an administrator, which provides a large number of advanced permissions. Further access levels need to be assigned manually by a user with the appropriate authority. Furthermore, once user accounts are more than a certain number of days old and have made more than a certain number of edits, they automatically become autoconfirmed or extended confirmed, allowing the direct creation of articles, the ability to move pages, to edit semi-protected and extended-protected pages, and upload files. Being logged in gives users many advantages, such as having their public IP address hidden and the ability to track one's own contributions. Unless they are blocked, they may freely edit most pages. User access levels are determined by whether the Wikipedian is logged in, the account's age and edit count, and what manually assigned rights the account has.Īnyone can use the basic functionalities of Wikipedia even if they are not logged in. There are two types of access leveling: automatic and requested. A user's access level depends on which rights (also called permissions, user groups, bits, or flags) are assigned to accounts. The user access level of editors affects their abilities to perform specific actions on Wikipedia. For other global user groups see Wikipedia:Global rights policy and meta:User groups. ![]() Other flags giving access to specialized functionsįor all user permissions see this table.
