Help:User Rights

There are several user access levels on Metroid Wiki. User rights changes are decided by the current staff of Metroid Wiki. This page explains what the staff looks for in members to gain these rights.

Autoconfirmed Users

Autoconfirmed Users are able to edit semi-protected pages and move pages. A newly registered user automatically becomes autoconfirmed after having made 200 edits and having been a member for at least 30 days. Once a user becomes Autoconfirmed, they will gain access to partially restricted areas of Metroid Wiki, such as featured content voting.

Autopatrol Users

Autopatrol Users are users that are reliable editors that rarely make mistakes in their edits, and are quick to fix the errors that they do make. Therefore their edits are automatically marked as patrolled in Recent Changes.

Patrollers

Patrollers are users that have been proven to be reliable and dedicated to making sure other edits are of quality. These users are given certain rights to make this task a bit easier. Including the ability to mark edits as patrolled and the ability to rollback multiple edits made by one user.

Administrators

Administrators are highly trusted members of Metroid Wiki. These members have proven that they are dedicated to improving the wiki, making sure other edits are of quality, and have been upstanding role models for the rest of wiki. In addition to patrolling rights, administrators are given the rights to delete pages, ban users, and edit protected pages.

Bureaucrats

Bureaucrats are the higher ranking admins, generally founders and owners of the site. They have all of the wiki-level rights that admins do, but also some more.
