Help:Group rights

Administrators
Administrators, known technically as  or System Operators, have the widest access of permissions on Encyclopædia Peculiar. They have access to all content management tools, including, but not limited to, the ability to delete, protect, and patrol pages, view and undelete deleted pages, hide certain revision or user information, grant certain uncontroversial utilities to users, and block disruptive users from editing.

Bureaucrats
Users who have  permissions have the ability to add and remove administrators, interface administrators, and bots. They can also add, but not remove, other bureaucrats. Bureaucrats will also tend to have the responsibility of interpreting consensus on a request for permissions.

Wiki managers
Wiki managers have access to change any and all settings of Encyclopædia Peculiar via access to Special:ManageWiki. Because of their access to the ManageWiki interface, managers can technically change any user rights on the wiki, though this is not expressed in their standard user group.

Autopatrolled users
Users are assigned to  when an administrator believes they are trustworthy enough not to require active patrolling of their contributions. When a user is added to this group, their edits are automatically marked as though they had been patrolled, and they may mark other users' edits as patrolled.

Confirmed users
Users belonging to the  group have the same level of access as autoconfirmed users. Confirmed users must be manually added by administrators, and are added to the group because some factor prevents them from waiting for autoconfirmed status or prevents them from being autoconfirmed entirely.

Interface administrators
Interface administrators can edit system messages and code pages in the MediaWiki namespace, as well as edit other users' personal code.

Rollbackers
The  group gives the user access to the rollback tool. This reverts the page to the version of the editor previous to the last editor.

Interwiki administrators
Interwiki administrators have access to modify the interwiki table at Special:Interwiki. This group cannot be assigned locally—it must be assigned by a Steward.

Autoconfirmed users
Users who are  are automatically added to the group once they have been on Encyclopædia Peculiar for at least 4 days and have at least 10 edits total. These are users generally received as being here to contribute and positively participate, so have less limitations imposed on the things they may do. Autoconfirmed users may edit semi-protected pages, are exempt from some rate limits, and do not need to pass a CAPTCHA.

Users
The  group refers to all participants who are signed in and have an account. This slightly expands abilities as a contributor, allowing the user to create pages, edit pages protected from anonymous editing, mark edits as minor, and move pages.

Bots
The  flag usually indicates that an account is being used for an automated or semiautomated process. The permissions of this group hide a bot account's edits from Recent Changes and Watchlists.
