RationalWikiWiki:User rights
From RationalWikiWiki
The following are the user rights on RationalWikiWiki.
Contents |
Editor
Basic user. Editors can edit most pages on RationalWikiWiki and create pages.
This wiki is set so users cannot move pages or upload files.
Probably not vandals
Probably not vandals have autoconfirmed rights: they will bypass Captcha when submitting an edit, they can upload files, and move pages.
Power-tripping internet bullies
Bullies are entrusted with clean-up duties beyond normal editing. They can delete, undelete, move, and merge the revision histories of articles. They may also hide revisions individually within a page's history from the public (to be used in the case of someone posting personal information and to deny vandals any notoriety by hiding the changes they made and who did them).
Bullies can block other users (both accounts and IPs) and lock pages to prevent editing.
Note: A merge is irreversible, so please be certain you are merging the correct articles into each other. Additionally, while an individual deleted revision can normally be resurrected, if it is set to be hidden even from sysops, then it can only be resurrected if the entire history is deleted and resurrected. (There should be no real need to hide a revision from sysops, anyways.)
Current Power-tripping internet bullies
Self-important internet fascists
Self-important internet fascists have the power to promote and demote other users into the various user groups. They can also rename users if they so request.
Note to fascists: Please refrain from adding more fascists. Many users who were otherwise considered "trustworthy," back when RWW had a bureaucrats usergroup, would repeatedly war over the user rights of users they didn't like. Restricting fascists to the Big Three minimizes any such drama. Furthermore, between Punky, Hans, and Tyrannis, RWW effectively has all its needs covered. All check this wiki at least once a day.
Techies
People who have useful technical knowledge but are too controversial to entrust with the full fascist package.
People we dont like
People we don't like have restriced edit rates. Enjoy.
