Bharatpedia:User access levels: Difference between revisions

Several actions on the Bharatpedia are restricted to user accounts that are at least 5 days old and have made at least 20 edits to the encyclopedia. Users who meet these requirements are considered part of the pseudo-group {{mono|'autoconfirmed'}}. The conditions for autoconfirmed status are checked every time a user attempts to perform a restricted action; if they are met, permission is granted automatically by the MediaWiki software. Although the precise requirements for autoconfirmed status vary according to circumstances, most Bharatpedia user accounts that are more than five days old ''and'' have made at least 20 edits (including deleted edits) are considered autoconfirmed. However, users with the IP block exemption flag and who are editing through the Tor network are subjected to much stricter autoconfirmed thresholds: 90 days and 100 edits.

The page mover user right ({{mono|'extendedmover'}} user group) is intended to allow users who have demonstrated a good understanding of the Bharatpedia page naming system to rename pages and subpages without leaving redirects, subject to policy. They are also able to create and edit [[WP:editnotice|editnotices]] as well as move categories. This right is automatically assigned to administrators.

Users who are given the templateeditor flag ({{mono|'templateeditor'}} user group) are allowed to edit pages protected with [[Wikipedia:Protection policy#template|template protection]], as well as create and edit [[Wikipedia:editnotice|editnotices]]. Template protection is only applied to pages in the [[Wikipedia:Template namespace|template]] and [[Wikipedia:Lua|module]] namespaces, as well as a few pages in the Bharatpedia namespace. This right is intended to allow experienced template and module coders to make changes without having to request that an administrator make the edits for them. This right is automatically assigned to administrators.

Users who are given the CheckUser flag ({{mono|'checkuser'}} user group) have access to [[Special:CheckUser]], a [[WP:SPEC|function page]] that allows them to view a list of all [[IP address]]es used by a user account to edit the Bharatpedia, an extended list of ''all edits'' made from an IP (which includes edits that were made by any user accounts while using the specific IP), or a list of all user accounts that have used a given IP address. They also have access to the Checkuser log, which logs each time a Checkuser uses their tools to view any of the information listed. This user right is only granted to ''exceedingly few users'' and after a high level of scrutiny and review by the community, and after review and the support of the [[WP:ARB|Arbitration Committee]]. Users must also be at least 18 years old and have signed [[Wikipedia:Access to nonpublic information|our confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information]]. As CheckUsers have access to deleted revisions, they are also required to have passed an "RFA or RFA-identical process" first.<ref name="wmf"/>

Users who are members of the {{mono|'steward'}} user group may grant and revoke any permission to or from any user on any wiki operated by the Bharatpedia which allows open account creation. Stewards generally act only when there is no user on a particular wiki that can make the necessary change. This includes granting of the {{mono|'administrator'}} or {{mono|'bureaucrat'}} access levels on wikis which do not have any local bureaucrats, and removing such flags if the user resigns or the account is acting maliciously. Stewards are also responsible for granting and revoking access levels such as {{mono|'oversight'}} and {{mono|'checkuser'}}, as no other group is capable of making such changes except.

* Generally, bureaucrats on the Bharatpedia are also administrators, and so have all the permissions of the {{mono|'sysop'}} user group in addition to those rights from the {{mono|'bureaucrat'}} group.
