Rights that can be given by administrators and bureaucrats

There is a total of 6 user flags that can be given by either administrators, or bureaucrats. They are listed below:

Administrators

See also: Wiktionary:Administrators

Administrators are a special group of users that have complete access to the MediaWiki software interface. They can block a user, delete a page and edit protected pages. They are selected by the Wiktionary community as they are trusted with using these tools.

Bureaucrats

Bureaucrats are people who can edit other people's user rights. They can make someone an administrator, and flag a bot.

Bots

Bots are automated process done by the system or by people who create these bots to make edits without flooding Special:RecentChanges and make edits very fast that a normal human will take very long to do.

Rollbackers

See also: Wiktionary:Rollback feature

Rollbackers are people who can quickly revert edits made by a user without slowing down the server.

Autopatrollers

Autopatrollers are users that have their edits automatically patrolled, and can mark other users' edits as patrolled. This is useful for checking for vandalism.

IP block exemption

The IP block exemption is available for users who has their IP address blocked. The user can skip the block and can do anything that the blocked IP address usually can't do.

Rights that cannot be given by administrators and bureaucrats but can be done on Meta

The following are user flags that can only be given by Stewards on Meta Wiki.

Check users

Check users are a group of users that can check another user's IP address to prevent vandalism. They can check for accounts with identical IP addresses so that they can all be blocked and make Wiktionary free from vandalism.

Account creators

Account creators are users that are not affected by the 6 account creations per day per IP address limit. They are useful for creating accounts for a group of people(like a school). This right is given to administrators by default.

Importers/Transwiki Importers

Importers are users that can import pages from another wiki. This is useful for copying content from another Wiktionary while keeping the attribution of the page since all Wikimedia projects are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License 3.0.

This right is given to administrators by default.

Oversighters

Oversighters are users that can hide revisions from other users, even administrators and bureaucrats. This is done for legal reasons.
