All Pikmin Fanon contributors have access to read and contribute to our wiki. A number of special user roles also exist on Pikmin Fanon with advanced user rights, in order to help prevent spam and vandalism. Below is a description of these rights.
Basic
Users
Users who created an account and are logged in can:
- Create pages.
- Edit their own preferences.
- Edit their own watchlist.
- Maintain a user profile and talk page.
- Mark edits as minor.
- Send emails to other users.
- Use the write API.
Although newly-created accounts have access to those features, autoconfirmed users have access to a few more.
- For a list of all users, including inactive ones, see Special:ListUsers.
Autoconfirmed users
Autoconfirmed users are editors that are automatically confirmed to be actual contributors to Pikmin Fanon. This system is in place to prevent giving too many privileges to newly-created accounts in fear that they may be used to cause harm.
Compared to newly-registered users, users that are autoconfirmed can:
- Bypass the CAPTCHA.
- Edit semi-protected pages.
- Move pages and files.
- Purge the cache for a page.
- Upload files and new versions of existing files.
Advanced
- See also: Official list of staff members
Administrators
Administrators (or sysops) are users who are active, trustworthy, and continually publish constructive edits.
The MediaWiki software has a few important features that are restricted to administrators. Compared to regular users, administrators have the ability to:
- Block a user or IP address from editing.
- Change wiki prefixes in Special:Interwiki.
- Create and (de)activate tags.
- Create and edit widgets in the Widgets namespace.
- Delete and undelete pages, images, or files.
- Delete and undelete specific revisions of pages.
- Edit in the MediaWiki namespace.
- Import pages from other wikis.
- Mark edits as patrolled.
- Protect a page so it cannot be edited or moved by users without admin rights.
- Rollback disruptive/unconstructive edits.
- Upload files from a URL.
- For a list of all administrators, including inactive ones, see Special:ListAdmins.
- For further details, see Help:Administrator's Handbook.
Bureaucrats
Bureaucrats are users who are trusted admins but have access to a few more features than an admin has. With the same rights as admins, they can:
- Grant (and revoke) administrator or bureaucrat status to other users.
- Rename users.
- For a list of all bureaucrats, including inactive ones, see Special:ListUsers/bureaucrat.
Interface administrators
Interface administrators are users who can edit the interface (pages in MediaWiki namespace), including sitewide CSS/JavaScript pages and other users' CSS/JavaScript pages.
- For a list of all interface administrators, including inactive ones, see Special:ListUsers/interface-admin.
Suppressors
Suppressors are users associated with cutting out abuse of the edit system (where edits appear on lists such as the history or recent changes list).
They can:
- Block a username, hiding it from the public.
- Delete and undelete specific log entries.
- View, hide, and unhide specific revisions of pages from any user.
- For a list of all suppressors, including inactive ones, see Special:ListUsers/suppress.
Others
Bots
Bots are automated process, program, or script that makes it easier for a user to make tedious or repetitive edits and actions on a wiki. When a bot is running in quick succession, the recent changes log can sometimes be overtaken, making it harder to spot more substantial edits by regular users. Giving an account a "bot flag" will hide these edits from the recent changes list (although any editor can still choose to see them by clicking "Show bots").
- For a list of all bots, including inactive ones, see Special:ListBots.
