Deluxe Administrators/Extras

This is a list of usergroup rights that are extended to the fictional Deluxe Administrator usergroup on wikis with certain extensions and features added that was conceived by C.Syde in late October 2016. For information about the usergroup rights that are currently extended to this fictional usergroup on all wikis, see this page.

Abilities that Deluxe Administrators have on wikis with certain features added
Many of the abilities included in the Deluxe Administrator usergroup on wikis with certain extensions and features added are abilities that aren't already included in the Administrator usergroup on those wikis. But there are a few abilities already included in the Administrator usergroup on those wikis that were subsequently included in the Deluxe Administrator usergroup on those wikis.

Abilities that Deluxe Administrators have on wikis with the AbuseFilter extension added
In addition to the ability to create and modify abuse filters on wikis that have abuse filters enabled, Fandom Staff and Fandom Helpers have the ability to view private data in the abuse log. Wiki Managers, Content Team Members, and Spam Obliteration and Prevention members were also granted the ability on wikis that have abuse filters enabled, following their respective introductions in May and July 2019, and July 2020. Volunteer Spam Task Force members were also able to view private data in the abuse log on wikis that have abuse filters enabled, prior to the usergroup's retirement. Administrators do not have this ability on Fandom wikis with abuse filters enabled by default, because the permission allows access to other users' which not all local communities should have access to.
 * Abusefilter-private

However Administrators do have this ability on certain wikis such as the Star Wars Wiki. In MediaWiki 1.34.0 onward, this permission was renamed to Abusefilter-privatedetails, likely to avoid confusion with the similarly titled Abusefilter-view-private permission. From December 2019 to June 2020 on, usergroups with the Managewiki permission were erroneously able to grant the Abusefilter-privatedetails and Abusefilter-privatedetails-log permissions to local usergroups. During that time, I had granted those permissions to local Administrators, unaware that they were CheckUser level permissions. Had I known, I would have made them more restricted, prior to those permissions being blacklisted. One thing that's absolutely certain is that I would not have abused those permissions myself, had I ever used them while I was able to access them.

The mishap that occurred on Miraheze was the source of inspiration that led to me subsequently deciding that Deluxe Administrators should be granted the Abusefilter-private permission on Fandom wikis with the AbuseFilter extension enabled in November 2020. But like all permissions that are generally restricted only to certain global usergroups on Fandom wikis, Deluxe Administrators should only view private information in the abuse log when they have a legitimate reason to. Deluxe Administrators can have their rights restricted or revoked by Staff if they are found to have abused the privilege of viewing private information in the abuse log on wikis that they have private details access.

None of the usergroups on Fandom wikis have the ability to view log entries of abuse filters marked as private on wikis that have abuse filters enabled, likely because that permission has never existed on legacy wikis, and therefore has not yet been granted to the appropriate usergroups on Fandom's Unified Community Platform.
 * Abusefilter-log-private

Though it is unknown if Administrators will ever be granted this ability on Fandom wikis with abuse filters enabled by default, I can't see why they wouldn't because the permission doesn't allow access to other users' or anything similar.

Because usergroups with the Managewiki permission are able to grant the Abusefilter-log-private permission to local usergroups on wikis, I subsequently decided that Deluxe Administrators should be granted the Abusefilter-log-private permission on Fandom wikis with the AbuseFilter extension enabled in November 2020.

None of the usergroups on Fandom wikis have the ability to view the AbuseFilter access log on wikis that have abuse filters enabled, likely because that permission has never existed on legacy wikis, and therefore has not yet been granted to the appropriate usergroups on Fandom's Unified Community Platform. Administrators almost certainly won't be granted this ability on Fandom wikis with abuse filters enabled by default, because the permission allows access to other users' which not all local communities should have access to.
 * Abusefilter-private-log

In MediaWiki 1.34.0 onward, this permission was renamed to Abusefilter-privatedetails-log, likely to avoid confusion with the similarly titled Abusefilter-log-private permission. From December 2019 to June 2020 on, usergroups with the Managewiki permission were erroneously able to grant the Abusefilter-privatedetails and Abusefilter-privatedetails-log permissions to local usergroups.

None of the usergroups on Fandom wikis have the ability to view abuse filters marked as private on wikis that have abuse filters enabled. The reason for this is unknown, but it is likely because the ability to view abuse filters marked as private is already included with the Abusefilter-modify permission which is currently extended to Fandom Staff, Wiki Managers, Content Team Members, Fandom Helpers, Spam Obliteration and Prevention members, and Administrators.
 * Abusefilter-view-private

It is unclear if Administrators will ever be granted the ability to view abuse filters marked as private on Fandom wikis by default, because Administrators already have access to abuse filters marked as private via the Abusefilter-modify permission. But considering that the permission doesn't allow access to other users' or anything similar, I can't see any reason why they shouldn't.

Because usergroups with the Managewiki permission are able to grant the Abusefilter-view-private permission to local usergroups on wikis, I subsequently decided that Deluxe Administrators should be granted the Abusefilter-view-private permission on Fandom wikis with the AbuseFilter extension enabled in November 2020.

Abilities that Deluxe Administrators have on wikis with the InterwikiEdit extension added
Fandom Utilities and Fandom Staff have the ability to edit interlanguage links for web-based handling. Wiki Managers were subsequently granted the ability in July 2019. Administrators do not have this ability, partly because it wouldn't be appropriate for local usergroups to have editing access to interwiki data. Also the extension doesn't appear on any wikis besides the Community Central Wiki, so it would be largely pointless if Administrators were to have it anyway.
 * InterwikiEdit

Administrators on the Community Central Wiki however do have access to the InterwikiEdit special page. For this reason, I was inspired to grant Deluxe Administrators the ability to edit interlanguage links in February 2020. Since Deluxe Administrators are meant to be a more enhanced version of Administrators, it is obvious why Deluxe Administrators have more enhanced abilities than Administrators.

Therefore it is obvious why Deluxe Administrators should have had the ability to access the extension, considering the extension is accessible to Administrators on at least one individual wiki. Even though it is largely pointless if it can't be accessed anywhere other than the Community Central Wiki.

Deluxe Administrators lost the ability on all wikis in September 2020 after it was decided that Deluxe Administrators shouldn't have any abilities relating to features that can only be used on the Community Central Wiki. However, Deluxe Administrators do still have the permission on wikis that have the InterwikiEdit special page added to them.

Abilities that Deluxe Administrators have on wikis with the WhereIsExtension extension added
Fandom Utilities and Fandom Staff have the ability to access a list of wikis with enabled extensions. Administrators do not have this ability, because it contains information that would not be appropriate for usergroups besides Staff or Utilities. Also the extension doesn't appear on any wikis besides the Community Central Wiki, so it would be largely pointless if Administrators were to have it anyway.
 * WhereIsExtension

Surprisingly enough, an old archive of the Fandom Wiki implies that there was a time when all users had access to the extension. For this reason, Deluxe Administrators were subsequently granted the ability to access the WhereIsExtension special page in May 2019.

Since Deluxe Administrators are meant to be a more enhanced version of Administrators, it is obvious why Deluxe Administrators have more enhanced abilities than Administrators. Therefore it is obvious why Deluxe Administrators should have had the ability to access the extension, considering that all users once had access to it. Even though it is largely pointless if it can't be accessed anywhere other than the Community Central Wiki.
