Fanon Wiki:Ranks

Ranks are roles given to users that give specific permissions to users with them.

Non-staff ranks
All users can make edits and pages regardless of having an account or roles (unless blocked). Their contributions use an IP address instead of a name.

Users
People with registered accounts. They can make userpages (including user CSS/JS pages), use Special:Preferences, and upload files.

Autoconfirmed
Users that satisfy account age and editcount requirements. They can move pages and do not have to do CAPTCHAs.

Staff ranks
All staff ranks have all of the permissions of the group(s) below them.

Administrator
Staff users who can protect pages, edit protected pages, patrol pages, mass replace text, delete pages, and roll back edits by one user to a specific page, among other things.

Bureaucrat
Staff users above administrators who can promote/demote and rename users.

Other ranks
Other ranks that don't really fit in elsewhere

Support
Users who maintain the site look (skin, CSS, etc.) and can be contacted for technical difficulties. They can edit MediaWiki: namespace pages.

Bot
Automated processes whose edits are hidden by default in the recent changes.
