Fanon Wiki:Ranks

This is one of Fanon Wiki's help pages and is meant to aid users by improving their ability to positively contribute to the wiki. Expanding pages such as this with additional information is always welcome.

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.

User

This applies to all registered users. They can make userpages (including user CSS/JS pages), use Special:Preferences, and upload files.

Autoconfirmed

Users who are confirmed, by an autoconfirmation process of the wiki, can move pages, bypass CAPTCHAs, and edit semi-protected pages.

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.
