Irony Wiki:User groups

On Irony Wiki, user accounts may belong to one or more user groups that give them additional permissions. Think of them like roles on Discord. This page serves to provide a basic overview of common user groups. A more technical list is available at Special:ListGroupRights.

User groups

Autoconfirmed

Autoconfirmed users can edit semi-protected pages and bypass CAPTCHAs. This is the easiest user group to obtain; it is automatically granted to all user accounts that are at least one day old and have made at least five edits.

Administrators

Administrators have many extra permissions relating to the moderation of the wiki. Their abilities include:

Blocking (and unblocking) users from making edits
Protecting pages to limit who can edit them
Editing pages that are fully protected so that only administrators can edit them
Deleting and un-deleting pages
Marking pages for translation
Checking the IP address of temporary accounts (used by editors who are not logged in)

There are currently 3 administrators.

Bureaucrats

Bureaucrats can change the user groups of any user. They can also rename users.

There are currently 1 bureaucrats.

Interface administrators

Interface administrators can edit the wiki's user interface, including JavaScript and CSS.

There are currently 1 interface administrators.

Check users

Check users can use the CheckUser tool to check the IP addresses used by any user. They must have a good reason for doing so (such as to investigate spam or abusive accounts), in accordance with the privacy policy.

There are currently 1 check users.

Suppressors

Suppressors can hide aspects of any edit (such as the username, edit content, or edit summary) from public view, as well as see edits that have already been hidden. This is usually used in response to privacy concerns or upon a valid request.

There are currently 1 suppressors.

Rollbackers

Rollbackers can revert the latest edit to a page with a single click. Administrators also have this ability.

There are currently 4 rollbackers, and 7 total users with rollbacking ability.

Widget editors

Widget editors can edit pages in the Widget namespace. These pages are restricted for security reasons since they allow raw HTML. Interface administrators also have this ability.

There are currently 0 widget editors, and 1 total users with widget editing ability.
