Fictional User Group Rights

The following is a list of fictional usergroup concepts conceived or adopted by C.Syde, with their associated access rights.

Junior Admins
Junior Admins is a fictional usergroup that is between rollbackers and sysops. They have access to most of the sysop tools that appear on the surface, apart from some of the ones that were recently introduced. The Junior Admin usergroup is considered to be a replacement of the User Group A, User Group B, and User Group C usergroups. On wikis with the AbuseFilter extension enabled, Junior Admins have access to the same additional permissions that are extended to Administrators.

Deluxe Administrators
Deluxe Administrators is a fictional usergroup that serves as an extension of the Administrator usergroup. It reinstates the Administrator's abilities to bypass rate limits, override the title or username blacklist , and edit, move, delete, and undelete all system messages , as well as editing other users' CSS and JavaScript data. However it should be noted that editing other users' CSS and JavaScript data should be kept to a minimum and only for certain legitimate reasons, such as fixing broken links, and broken CSS and JavaScript data, and removing spam and hate messages (should they ever be found in other users' CSS and JavaScript pages.

Most other uses are considered illegitimate, and are likely to be considered misuse of the abilities that Deluxe Administrators have been granted with, which may hint at why those abilities were removed from the Administrator usergroup in the first place. Deluxe Administrators also have the ability to show and hide the contents of specific revisions and log entries, the summaries of the revisions or log entries, the names of the users/IP addresses that made the edits or log entries, or any combination of those three, mass delete pages , and quickly revert and delete spam and vandalism using quicktools.

Deluxe Administrators are also able to bypass all abuse filters, limit actions that can be performed for some groups for a limited time , and force an update of special pages. The Deluxe Administrator usergroup also reinstates the Administrator's abilities to override spoofing checks on account renaming, even though this ability is largely considered useless by users, hence why the ability was removed from administrative usergroups. The Deluxe Administrator usergroup also has the ability to delete selective revisions of a certain page, which saves them the trouble of having to delete pages and then restore the desired revisions. They are also able to edit gadget definitions and edit gadget JavaScript and CSS pages.

Deluxe Administrators are also able to access the font manager and use it to upload fonts, batch delete pages , batch upload multiple files at once with the Upload Wizard , create and edit widgets in the widget namespace , delete cargo tables , edit multiple pages at once using a spreadsheet , edit spritesheets, sprites, slices, assign names, and delete , embed PDFs into pages , recreate data contained in cargo tables , revert spritesheet changes from the change log , run arbitrary cargo queries , and view the spam and title blacklist logs.

On wikis with the AbuseFilter extension enabled, Deluxe Administrators are also able to view abuse filters marked as private, view log entries of abuse filters marked as private, view private data in the abuse log, and view the AbuseFilter private details access log.

User Rights Security
User Rights Security is a fictional usergroup that has the ability to revoke bureaucrat rights from candidates that have been voted down by community consensus.

Generally this usergroup is unavailable on local communities, but on sites where multiple issues involving bad bureaucrats that are refusing to step down freely have occurred, user rights security access can be considered.

User Rights Security can only have their rights revoked by themselves, or Fandom Utilities, and they can only be promoted by Fandom Utilities.

Blockers
Blockers is a fictional usergroup that has the ability to block and unblock users. They also have the ability to bypass IP blocks, autoblocks and range blocks. Their main purpose is to help keep the wiki clear of disruptive users, more or less similar to the way Chat Moderators were able to kick and ban disruptive users from chat.

Blockers are able to block and unblock any user, but unlike Administrators and Bureaucrats, they cannot unblock themselves. The reason they can't unblock themselves is because Chat Moderators couldn't unban themselves if an Administrator banned them. And so I thought that if a Blocker is blocked, they shouldn't be able to unblock themselves if an Administrator blocked them legitimately.

Patrollers
Patrollers are a fictional usergroup that is based on existing custom usergroups on other wikis, of the same name. As the usergroup name implies, they mark other users' edits as patrolled, and have their own edits automatically marked as patrolled. There are many versions of this custom usergroup, including on external sites outside Fandom. Some known Fandom version examples of the custom usergroup can be found here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.

From late January until April 2016 I was under the impression that such a usergroup may previously have existed on the Community Central Wiki. However recent retraces of some of my sandbox archives of past usergroups information from 2014 and 2015, along with archives of the Special:ListGroupRights page on the Community Central Wiki confirm that this was not the case, and that my mind was playing tricks on me.

Assistants
Assistants are a fictional usergroup that is based on the existing custom usergroup of the same name on the Encyclopedia SpongeBobia. It serves as a position between Rollbackers and Administrators. It is sort of similar to the Content Moderator usergroup which was introduced in January 2016. An extended version of the Assistant usergroup exists on this wiki.

Forum Moderators
Forum Moderators are a fictional usergroup that is based on previously existing custom usergroups on other wikis, of the same name. As the usergroup name implies, they have additional tools to help them to moderate the forums.

They have all the tools extended to the Thread Moderator usergroup, before it was expanded into the Discussion Moderator usergroup. Because Forum Moderators are able to access, they have subsequently been given Administrators' dashboard access.

Comment Controllers
Comment Controllers are a fictional usergroup that is based on the existing custom usergroup of the same name on the Thomas and Friends Wiki. As the name of the usergroup implies, users belonging to that group have the ability to delete article and blog comments. I actually had previously considered this custom usergroup for this wiki.

Image Controllers
Image Controllers are a fictional usergroup that is based on the existing custom usergroup of the same name on the Thomas and Friends Wiki. As the name of the usergroup implies, users belonging to that group have the ability to move files, delete pages, edit blog articles, and move pages without leaving redirects. I actually had previously considered this custom usergroup for this wiki.

Autopatrolled Users
Autopatrolled Users are a fictional usergroup that is based on existing custom usergroups on other wikis, of the same name. As the name of the usergroup implies, users belonging to that group have the ability to have their own edits automatically marked as patrolled.

There are several versions of this custom usergroup, including on external sites outside Fandom. A version of the Autopatrolled usergroup exists on The Sims Wiki, and on this wiki.

Emailconfirmed Users
Emailconfirmed Users are a fictional usergroup that is based on the now existing usergroup of the same name. As the name of the usergroup implies, users belonging to that group have confirmed their email in their preferences. They are also able to perform CAPTCHA-triggering actions without having to go through the CAPTCHA.

Look Up Contributions
Look Up Contributions is a fictional global usergroup that is based on the existing custom usergroup of the same name on the Community Central Wiki. As the name of the usergroup implies, users belonging to that group have the ability to view users' edits across all Fandom.

Look Up Users
Look Up Users are a fictional global usergroup that is based on the existing custom usergroup of the same name on the Community Central Wiki. As the name of the usergroup implies, users belonging to that group have the ability to view users' preferences across all Fandom.

WDAC Reviewers
WDAC Reviewers are a fictional global usergroup that is based on the previously existing custom usergroup of the same name on the Community Central Wiki. As the name of the usergroup implies, users belonging to that group have the ability to access the COPPA review tool.

User Rollbackers
User Rollbackers are a fictional global usergroup. They are experienced and trusted vandal fighters that have rollback permissions across all of Fandom. They also have access to the userrollback extension which allows them to quickly revert all edits by specified users on all wikis. Please note that while User Rollbackers have access to the rollback tool, they do not replace local rollbackers on wikis. They also do not pose as local rollbackers unless they are flagged as local rollbackers.

User Rollbackers are just users that can be trusted with tools to revert vandalism when they see it and there are no local administrators or rollbackers around. They can also come in handy when it comes to reverting vandalism on quiet or inactive wikis where there are no active administrators or rollbackers around, and there are no SOAP around to take bigger action against cross wiki vandalism pronto.

While User Rollbackers can delete pages, article and blog comments, message wall messages, and pages with large histories, they are not allowed to use any of these tools except in circumstances to help aid with quickly reverting all edits of specified users from all wikis. Aside from these circumstances, they are not allowed to delete pages unless they have administrator or content moderator rights. And they are not allowed to delete message wall messages or article and blog comments unless they have administrator or discussion moderator rights.
