Bharatpedia:User access levels: Difference between revisions

All visitors to the site, including unregistered users, are part of the {{mono|'[[#Unregistered users|*]]'}} group, and all logged-in registered users are also part of the {{mono|'[[#New users|user]]'}} group. Users are automatically promoted into the [[#Autoconfirmed users|autoconfirmed/confirmed users]] pseudo-group of established users when their account is more than five days old and has twenty edits, and the {{mono|[[#Extended confirmed users|'extended confirmed']]}} user group later on.

User groups have one or more rights assigned to them; for example, the ipblock-exempt (IP block exemptions) group have the '{{mono|ipblock-exempt}}' and '{{mono|torunblocked}}' rights. All members of a particular user group will have access to these rights. The individual rights that are assigned to user groups are listed at [[Special:ListGroupRights]]. Terms like ''rights'', ''permissions'', ''bits'' and ''flags'' can refer to both user groups and the individual rights assigned to them.

Several actions on 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.

==== Administrators ====

Administrators, also commonly referred to as "admins" or "[[sysop]]s" ('''sys'''tem '''op'''erator'''s'''), are editors who are granted the rights by the community following a Request for Adminship (RfA). The RfA process involves in-depth and considerable discussion and examination of the candidate's activity and contributions as an editor and are granted the rights by the community consensus. Administrators have exclusive access to a number of tools to allow them to carry out certain functions on the wiki. The tools cover processes such as page deletion, page protection, blocking and unblocking users, and the ability to edit fully protected pages. Administrators also have the ability to grant and remove most access rights to other users (account creator, autopatrolled, confirmed, file mover, edit filter helper, edit filter manager, event coordinator, extended confirmed, IP block exempt, mass message sender, new page reviewer, page mover, pending changes reviewer, rollback, template editor, and AutoWikiBrowser) and to their own alternate accounts. By convention, administrators also normally take responsibility for judging the outcome of certain discussions requiring these technical controls (such as deletions). Administrators are not granted more editorial control over article content than other editors. They are required to follow all policies and guidelines and are held to the same level of accountability as non-administrators.

=== Flags granted to users giving access to specialized functions ===

==== Pending changes reviewer ====

==== Rollback ====

See [[Special:ListUsers/rollbacker]] for a list of the {{NUMINGROUP:rollbacker|R}} rollbackers.

====New page reviewer (patroller)====

See [[Special:ListUsers/patroller]] for a list of the {{NUMINGROUP:patroller|R}} new page reviewers.

==== Account creator ====

See [[Special:ListUsers/accountcreator]] for a list of the {{NUMINGROUP:accountcreator}} account creators.

==== Template editor ====

See [[Special:ListUsers/templateeditor]] for a list of the {{NUMINGROUP:templateeditor}} template editors.

Users who are given the ipblock-exempt flag ({{mono|'ipblock-exempt'}} user group) are not affected by [[WP:AUTOBLOCK|autoblocks]], blocks of IP addresses and ranges that are made with the "Prevent logged-in users from editing" option enabled, and by [[Tor (anonymity network)#Tor exit node block|Tor blocks]].

This right is automatically assigned to administrators and bots. If known, an administrator is also free to grant the right to affected good-faith editors without waiting for an unblock request.

==== Edit filter managers ====

See [[Special:ListUsers/abusefilter]] for a list of the {{NUMINGROUP:abusefilter}} edit filter managers. All users can check their {{special|AbuseLog|wpSearchUser|Example|log entries}} on the [[Special:AbuseFilter]] pages.

====Edit filter helpers====

See [[Special:ListUsers/abusefilter-helper]] for a list of the {{NUMINGROUP:abusefilter-helper}} edit filter helpers. All users can check their {{special|AbuseLog|wpSearchUser|Example|log entries}} on the [[Special:AbuseFilter]] pages.

====Interface administrators====

See [[Special:ListUsers/interface-admin]] for a list of the {{NUMINGROUP:interface-admin}} Interface administrators.

==== CheckUser ====

See [[Special:ListUsers/checkuser]] for a list of the {{NUMINGROUP:checkuser}} CheckUsers.

Accounts used by approved [[WP:BOT|bots]] to make pre-approved edits can be flagged as such. Bot accounts are automated or semi-automated, the nature of their edits is well defined, and they will be quickly blocked if their actions vary from their given tasks, so they require less scrutiny than human edits.

See [[Special:ListUsers/bot]] for a list of the {{NUMINGROUP:bot}} bots.

Blocked users are listed on [[Special:BlockList]].
