Permissions

[edit]
  1. What is a permission?
  • A permission is an ability that allows a user to perform some action that is not available to the most basic users. These include things simply from editing semi-protected pages, all the way to the ability to hide certain edits (only for stewards).
  2. What pages are un-registered users able to edit?
  • Un-registered users are able to edit any page on wikipedia that is not semi or fully protected. Other than that, they are very limited and have little other permissions.
  3. What is an auto confirmed account?
  • An auto confirmed account is an account that has been verified as a legitimate user. This is done after the user account exists for 4 days and has a certain number of edits (#?).
  4. What permissions do registered accounts have?
  • Once a registered account has been auto confirmed, it has all the rights of an unregistered user, plus the right to edit semi-protected pages, move pages, create pages, and upload images and other content.
  5. Who can grant rollback?
  • Stewards, Bureaucrats, and Admins all have the right to grant rollback to auto confirmed users.
  6. What does rollback enable you to do?
  • Rollback enables a user to revert a page the last edit by a user other than the one targeted for rollback.
  7. What should you not use rollback for?
  • Rollback should not be used for anything except blatant vandalism.
  8. What are administrators able to do?
  • Admins have access to a lot of tools users don't. These include the ability to grant rollback, delete, view and restore deleted pages, edit the wiki interface, block users, protect pages, and access a special "unwatched" page. O and the ability to delete the main page :P
  9. How do you request adminship?
  • Requests for adminship are done at WP:RFA, where users are nominated, and then a discussion ensues. Generally, a 75% consensus is needed for a user to pass an RFA, but this percent can differ.
 10. What are bureaucrats main duties?
  • A bureaucrat's main duties are promoting a user's status, altering bots access levels, and renaming accounts.
 11. What technical abilities do stewards have?
 12. What does checkuser enable a user to check?
 13. What is oversight?
 14. What type of a user must you be to be granted oversight?
