Feral Wildworks Roleplay:Gaining User Rights

Administrators
Administrators (also known as "admins" or "sysops") are trusted users who are generally chosen by the community and also have access to the following rights: For more details, see the Help:Administrators' how-to guide.
 * All privileges from both the Content Moderator and Discussions Moderator groups.
 * Block users who are vandalizing the wiki from editing and other actions.
 * Grant and revoke both the Chat Moderator and Discussions Moderator rights.
 * Edit the community's skin and format.
 * Edit white-listed MediaWiki pages.

Being an administrator makes the tag "ADMIN" appear next to a user's name on their profile, unless changed on MediaWiki:User-identity-box-group-sysop.

Bureaucrats
Bureaucrats have the ability to manipulate user rights, as well as block and unblock users, so this right is generally used in addition to the administrator group.

They have the ability to promote and revoke rollback, Content Moderator, and administrator rights as well as appointing new bureaucrats. While they cannot directly remove another user's bureaucrat status, they can remove their own. Bureaucrats also have the ability to remove a user's bot status in case the bot is malfunctioning, but bot flag requests are handled by staff after being approved (by either a bureaucrat or the community).

Having this status causes the tag "BUREAUCRAT" to appear next to user's username on their profile, unless changed on MediaWiki:User-identity-box-group-bureaucrat.

The bureaucrat status can only be removed by Fandom Staff or by the Bureaucrat themselves.

Content Moderators
Content Moderators are users who have additional tools available to moderate specific parts of the community. These tools are: Having this status causes the tag "CONTENT MODERATOR" to appear next to user's username in their profile, unless changed on MediaWiki:User-identity-box-group-content-moderator.
 * Editing and moving fully protected pages
 * Deleting and undeleting pages and files
 * Editing and moving protected files
 * Rollback
 * Re-upload files
 * Protecting and unprotecting pages
 * Patrol pages if the community has the RecentChanges patrol feature enabled
 * Deleting article comments


 * Admins enjoy all the privileges of content moderators, so admins do not need to be put in to that category in addition to being an admin.

Discussions Moderators
Discussions Moderators are users who have additional tools available to manage conversations in various features across the community where users are having discussions. These tools are: Having this status causes the tag "DISCUSSIONS MODERATOR" to appear next to user's username in their profile, unless changed on MediaWiki:User-identity-box-group-threadmoderator.
 * Removing and restoring threads and replies by any user
 * Closing and reopening threads
 * Manage Forum boards, and move threads from one board to another.
 * Moderating chat
 * Deleting blog comments
 * Editing and deleting article comments
 * Moderating the Discussions feature, if enabled.


 * Admins enjoy all the privileges of discussions moderators, so admins do not need to be put in to that category in addition to being an admin.

Chat Moderators
Chat Moderators are users who can moderate a community's chat room. They can ban users from chat, which will kick a user out of the chat and prevent them from returning until a chat moderator, discussions moderator, or admin unbans them from the user's contributions page or until the ban expires.

Having this status causes the tag "CHAT MODERATOR" to appear next to user's username in their profile, unless changed on MediaWiki:User-identity-box-group-chatmoderator.

Rollbacks
Anyone can revert vandalism and bad-faith edits, but it takes a couple of clicks in the page history to get it done. The "rollback" permission allows a user to undo bad edits with one click: by using the rollback link on diff pages, the user's contributions page, or the list of recent changes. The edit summary for a rollback edit is (Reverted edits by X (talk) to last version by Y).

Content moderators and admins have this permission by default. It can also be granted to other users by adding them to the rollback group. See Special:ListUsers/rollback for a member list.

The tag next to the user's profile can't be seen unless the UserTags JS script is enabled on your wiki.
