Banri: Created page with "{{Nutshell|All users on the Gemini Station Wiki have the ability to view and read pages. A number of special user roles exist, with advanced rights.}} {{Shortcut|GS:AL|GS:ACCE..."

{{Nutshell|All users on the Gemini Station Wiki have the ability to view and read pages. A number of special user roles exist, with advanced rights.}}
{{Shortcut|GS:AL|GS:ACCESS|GS:RIGHTS}}
A contributor's ability to perform certain actions on the [[Gem Wiki:About|Gemini Station Wiki]] depends on their '''access level'''. This is determined by whether the editor is logged into an account, whether the account has a sufficient age, and what additional rights have been assigned to the account.

Everyone is able to read the Gemini Station Wiki. Unless they are [[GeminiStation:User block policy|blocked]], they may freely edit when logged in. Further access levels need to be assigned manually by a user with the appropriate authority. Editors with more experience and good standing can request advanced permissions.

This page provides a summary for each usergroup. For a full list of abilities available to usergroups, see [[Special:ListGroupRights]].
{{ToC|right}}

==Overview==
All visitors to the site, including unregistered users, are part of the <code>'*'</code> group, and all logged-in users are also part of the <code>'user'</code> group. Other flags are only given upon request; some, such as <code>'rollback'</code> or <code>'custodian'</code>, are granted unilaterally if the user demonstrates a need for them. Others, such as <code>'sysop'</code> and <code>'bureaucrat'</code>, are given only after community discussion and consensus.

===Unregistered users===
Contributors who have not [[Special:CreateAccount|created an account]] or [[Special:UserLogin|logged in]] are identified by their IP address rather than a username, and may read all pages (except restricted [[Help:Special page|special pages]]), and edit pages that are not [[GeminiStation:Protection policy|protected or semi-protected]]. They cannot upload files or images. They must login to make more definite edits.

===Registered users===
Users who've signed in can do everything IP addresses can do, but they can also upload files, move pages, maintain a watchlist, set preferences, and mark edits as minor. Users are automatically promoted into the <code>'autoconfirmed'</code> pseudo-group when their account is more than four days old, giving them the ability to edit semi-protected pages.

==Local level==
Local level groups are specific the wiki.

===Rollback===
{{Main|GeminiStation:Rollback}}
Users with the rollback right have access to the rollback button, and are not affected by rate limits which prevent page moves and user account creations. All sysops also have this button. Rollback automatically reverts all revisions by the last author of a page and is only to be used for obvious vandalism, and not disputed edits which deserve due explanation.

See [[Special:ListUsers/rollback]] for a list of the wiki's {{NUMINGROUP:rollback}} rollbackers.

===Custodians===
{{Main|GeminiStation:Custodians}}
Custodians serve as a middle-ground between moderators and regular users. They can't block users or restrict editing of pages, but they can do many of the other things moderators can. They have the ability to move files, suppress the creation of redirects while moving, and view the history of deleted pages, files, and contribution history of users.

See [[Special:ListUsers/custodian]] for a list of the wiki's {{NUMINGROUP:custodian}} custodians.

===Moderators===
{{Main|GeminiStation:Moderators}}
Moderator is the highest level of power afforded to volunteers. They have the ability to block users, restrict editing of specific pages, roll back edits, delete pages, restore deleted pages, etc.

See [[Special:ListUsers/moderator]] for a list of the wiki's {{NUMINGROUP:moderator}} moderators.

===Administrators===
{{Main|GeminiStation:Administrators}}
Adminstrators have access to a number of tools to allow them to carry out certain functions on the wiki. The tools cover processes such as deletion, protection, blocking, and access to the MediaWiki interface. Administrators also take responsibility for judging the outcome of those requiring administrative tools, such as deletions and undeletions, as well as assigning the <code>'rollback'</code>, <code>'custodian'</code> and <code>'moderator'</code> user rights.

See [[Special:ListUsers/sysop]] for a list of the wiki's {{NUMINGROUP:sysop}} administrators.

===Bureaucrats===
Bureaucrat rights are granted by Noresist & Banri to exceptionally trusted users who are allowed to perform certain actions on other users' accounts. Bureaucrats have all rights available to administrators, as well as extended access to [[Special:UserRights]], enabling them to add users to the <code>'bureaucrat'</code> group (but not remove them), and both add and remove users from the <code>'administrator'</code> and <code>'bot'</code> user groups.

See [[Special:ListUsers/bureaucrat]] for a list of the wiki's {{NUMINGROUP:bureaucrat}} bureaucrats.

===CheckUsers===
{{Main|GeminiStation:Check user}}
Users who are in the <code>'checkuser'</code> usergroup have access to [[Special:CheckUser]]. They are able to view a list of all IP addresses used by a user account to edit the Gemini Station Wiki, a list of all edits made by an IP, or all user accounts that have used an IP address. They may also view a log of such requests.

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

===Gem Moderators===
The <code>'Gem'</code> usergroup is granted to verified in-game moderators of Gemini Station. It provides no additional rights beyond what registered users have.

See [[Special:ListUsers/Gem]] for a list of verified Gemini Station Moderators.
