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 can edit MediaWiki: pages that affect the look of the wiki for all users

Bot

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