Minecraft Wiki:User rights

User rights give users the ability to perform certain actions. Some of these are automatically granted, e.g. by creating an account or making a certain number of edits, but most have to be manually granted by an admin or a bureaucrat.

Full list of rights
This page is meant to serve as a guide to what purpose the user rights that exist here have; for a complete list of every specific right of each user group, see Special:UserGroupRights.

Basic user groups
One of the key features of a Wiki is that in most cases, anybody can edit it. Therefore, all users, whether logged in or out, have the ability to edit pages. There are a few exceptions, however; most notably, pages that are high traffic or a heavy vandalism target may be protected so that only certain users can edit it. Also, filters exist that prevent edits with a certain number of characters or certain words from being added to a page (e.g. edits containing profanity).

Logged-in users
Any user who has created an account has the ability to move pages, upload files, email users, as well as a few other small privileges. The autoconfirmed user group gives more user rights, including editing semi-protected pages and moving pages without leaving a redirect. On Minecraft Wiki, the autoconfirmed user group is granted to all users who register account; therefore there is no way to receive the privileges that come with the "Users" group without having those of the "Autoconfirmed users" group.
