Revision as of 17:22, 29 October 2008
Different users have access to different functions of the site. Wiki requesters are given administrator and bureaucrat access. They can make any other user on their wiki an administrator or bureaucrat.
Anyone
Anyone, including users without a user account, can read the wiki as well as create new pages and edit unprotected pages. Any non-banned user is free to create a user account.
Logged in users
Users who have created an account and logged in (this is free and only requires a username and password) can change the title of a page by moving it. (That is much better and faster than creating a new page and moving the content.)
Logged-in users can upload an image or other file to the wiki. There are restrictions on which file types can be uploaded.
Logged-in users can mark a page on recent changes as "patrolled" to show other users that they have checked an edit.
Logged-in users can also customize the display of the wiki using Special:Preferences, as well as maintain a page watchlist.
Rollback
Users with the "rollback" permission are able to revert vandalism and bad-faith edits by using the rollback link on diff pages and user contributions list. They are just like logged-in users, only with one extra button.
Bureaucrats can give users rollback rights by using the form at Special:Giverollback. The action will be logged on Special:Log/gvrollback.

Bureaucrats
A bureaucrat can make other users into bureaucrats or administrators on the wiki where they are a bureaucrat and give trusted users a rollback function on their own wiki. They are not currently able to remove admin access from any user. Please contact Angela if you need admin access removed from any user.
Instructions for bureaucrats
(Please see Central Wikia help page for full details.) Briefly, the commonest duties are:
- Bureaucrat can grant or revoke rollback rights for users through Special:Giverollback.
- Bureaucrats can turn other users into admins or bureaucrats using Special:Makesysop. There is a link to this on the list of special pages.
Staff
Some Wikia staff members have full access to all wikis. They will be shown in Special:Listusers/staff on any wiki. Please see contact us for details on how to contact Wikia staff.
