Halo Esports Wiki:Community/How to Edit/User Classes

What are user classes?
User classes are groups of users with different levels of permissions. For example, if you are in the Editor user class, your page edits do not need to be approved before they go live. Users can belong to multiple user classes. Each user class gives its own set of permissions. This page contains an overview of what user classes have the permissions to do what.

Bureaucrat

 * Bureaucrats are all part of Esports Wiki management. Bureaucrats can:
 * Change user permissions

Administrator

 * Also known as sysops. Administrator privileges are given to some staff members and a few select community members who are well-known to the staff. Administrators can:
 * Protect and unprotect pages
 * Edit protected pages

 * Delete and undelete pages
 * Block or unblock a user by IP address

 * Autoconfirmed users are members of the user class that have had their account exist for a certain amount of time and have also made a certain number of edits. It is granted automatically and does not give any permissions.

Autochecked User

 * This membership can be given by administrators and bureaucrats to rarely but regularly active users.
 * Have one's own edits automatically marked as patrolled (autopatrol).
