Fictional User Group Rights

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

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 and edit, move, delete, and undelete all system messages, as well as editing other users' CSS, JavaScript, and JavaScript Object Notation data. However it should be noted that editing other users' CSS, JavaScript, and JavaScript Object Notation data should be kept to a minimum and only for certain legitimate reasons, such as fixing broken links, and broken CSS, JavaScript, and JavaScript Object Notation data, and removing spam and hate messages (should they ever be found in other users' CSS, JavaScript, and JavaScript Object Notation 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 revoked from Administrators in the first place. The Deluxe Administrator usergroup also reinstates the Administrator's abilities to view deleted history entries of all revisions that are not suppressed. 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 , and edit gadget definitions, gadget CSS and JavaScript pages, and interlanguage links.

Deluxe Administrators are also able to edit the wiki's and  pages, force an update of special pages , bypass all abuse filters , block various site modifications , bypass site protection limits , find pages on many wikis , and suppress and unsuppress article and blog comments , forum threads , and message walls. Deluxe Administrators also have 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 review, approve, and reject sitewide JavaScript on local wikis without having to wait for it to be reviewed by a member of the content review team, bypass spam protection filters when editing articles , view blacklisted spam filter entries via the PhalanxStats special page , and delete many pages on a single wiki. On wikis with message walls enabled, Deluxe Administrators are able to move pages to the Message Wall namespace and suppress and unsuppress walls. On wikis with the DeleteBatch extension enabled, Deluxe Administrators are able to batch delete pages and batch delete pages as the Delete page script.

On wikis with the UploadWizard extension enabled, Deluxe Administrators are able to batch upload multiple files at once with the Upload Wizard. On wikis with the CategorySkins extension enabled, Deluxe Administrators are able to create skins for categories. On wikis with the SpamBlacklist extension enabled, Deluxe Administrators are able to override and view the spam blacklist. On wikis with the SpriteSheet extension enabled, Deluxe Administrators are able to edit spritesheets, sprites, slices, assign names, and delete. On wikis with Semantic MediaWiki enabled, Deluxe Administrators can also edit schema pages, have edit access for Is edit protected annotated pages, edit access to maintain allowed regular expressions and patterns, and add and remove Semantic MediaWiki Administrator and Semantic MediaWiki Curator rights from their own account. On wikis with the CreateNewWiki special page enabled, Deluxe Administrators are able to bypass the wiki creation throttle. On wikis with the HydraCore extension enabled, Deluxe Administrators are able to upload fonts for use in the font manager.

On wikis with the Widgets extension enabled, Deluxe Administrators are able to add and remove Widget Editor rights from their own account. On wikis with the ClaimWiki extension enabled, Deluxe Administrators are able to review, approve, and unapprove wiki claims, and add and remove Wiki Guardian rights from their own account. On wikis with the AbuseFilter extension enabled, Deluxe Administrators are able to view abuse filters and log entries of abuse filters marked as private, private data in the abuse log, and the AbuseFilter private details access log. On wikis with the Approved Revs extension enabled, Deluxe Administrators are able to set a certain revision of a wiki page as approved, and view text showing who approved the current approved revision. On wikis with the FlaggedRevs extension enabled, Deluxe Administrators are able to configure how the latest accepted revision of a page is selected and displayed, have their own revisions automatically marked as accepted , mark revisions as being accepted , and move pages under pending changes. On wikis with the Tilesheets extension enabled, Deluxe Administrators are able to translate tile names and descriptions.

On wikis with the Staff-protection level added, Deluxe Administrators are able to add and remove Editor rights. On wikis with the Director-protection level added, Deluxe Administrators are able to add and remove Director rights from their own account. On wikis with the Bureaucrat-protection level added, Deluxe Administrators are able to edit pages that have been protected so only Bureaucrats can edit them. On wikis that have restricted the ability to create and edit pages in the User blog and Blog namespaces, Deluxe Administrators are able to add and remove Blogger rights. On wikis with the Update namespace added, Deluxe Administrators are able to edit pages in the Update namespace. Deluxe Administrators can only have their rights revoked by themselves, or Fandom Utilities, and they can only be promoted by Fandom Utilities. However it can be optional for Bureaucrats to be able to revoke Deluxe Administrator rights. Having this status causes 'DELUXE ADMINISTRATOR' to appear next to the username on the user's userpage.

Junior Admins
Junior Admins are a fictional usergroup that is in between rollbackers and sysops. They have access to most of the sysop tools that appear on the surface, apart from a few 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 Semantic MediaWiki enabled, and the Cheevos, HydraCore, CurseProfile, Widgets, Streamer, AbuseFilter, Approved Revs, and Tilesheets extensions enabled, Junior Admins have access to the same additional permissions that are extended to Administrators. On wikis with the Cargo extension enabled, Junior Admins are able to delete and recreate data contained in cargo tables. On wikis with the Translate extension enabled, Junior Admins are able to manage message groups and mark versions of pages for translation.

On wikis with the Staff-protection level added, Junior Admins are able to edit pages that have been protected so only Administrators and Editors can edit them, and move pages that have been protected so only Administrators and Editors can edit them, without their subpages. On wikis with the Director-protection level added, Junior Admins are able to edit pages that have been protected so only Directors can edit them. On wikis that have restricted the ability to create and edit pages in the User blog and Blog namespaces, Junior Admins are able to create and edit pages in the User blog and Blog namespaces. Junior Admins can only have their rights revoked by themselves, Bureaucrats, or Fandom Utilities, and they can only be promoted by Bureaucrats and Fandom Utilities. Having this status causes 'JUNIOR ADMIN' to appear next to the username on the user's userpage.

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 are 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.

Blockers can only have their rights revoked by themselves, Bureaucrats, Deluxe Administrators, or Fandom Utilities, and they can only be promoted by Bureaucrats, Deluxe Administrators, and Fandom Utilities.

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.

Assistants can only have their rights revoked by themselves, Bureaucrats, Deluxe Administrators, or Fandom Utilities, and they can only be promoted by Bureaucrats, Deluxe Administrators, and Fandom Utilities. Having this status causes 'ASSISTANT' to appear next to the username on the user's userpage.

Forum Moderators
Forum Moderators are a fictional usergroup that is based on previously existing custom usergroups of the same name on other wikis. As the usergroup name implies, they have additional tools to help them to moderate the forums. Forum Moderators have all the tools extended to Global Discussion Moderators on individual wikis, aside from the ability to check users' IP addresses and other information, the ability to view the Special:DiscussionsLog, and the ability to view the checkuser log.

Unlike Global Discussion Moderators however, Forum Moderators can disable comments on article pages and blog articles. Because they are able to access Announcements, they were subsequently given Administrators' dashboard access. Forum Moderators can only have their rights revoked by themselves, Administrators, Junior Admins, Deluxe Administrators, or Fandom Utilities, and they can only be promoted by Administrators, Junior Admins, Deluxe Administrators, and Fandom Utilities. Having this status causes 'FORUM MODERATOR' to appear next to the username on the user's userpage.

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, 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. On wikis with the SpriteSheet extension enabled, Patrollers are able to edit spritesheets, sprites, slices, assign names, and delete.

Patrollers can only have their rights revoked by themselves, Bureaucrats, Deluxe Administrators, or Fandom Utilities, and they can only be promoted by Bureaucrats, Deluxe Administrators, and Fandom Utilities. Having this status causes 'PATROLLER' to appear next to the username on the user's userpage.

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

Comment Controllers can only have their rights revoked by themselves, Administrators, Bureaucrats, Junior Admins, Deluxe Administrators, or Fandom Utilities, and they can only be promoted by Administrators, Bureaucrats, Junior Admins, Deluxe Administrators, and Fandom Utilities. Having this status causes 'COMMENT CONTROL' to appear next to the username on the user's userpage.

Image Controllers
Image Controllers are a fictional usergroup that is based on the existing custom usergroups of the same name on the Animal Jam Classic and Thomas the Tank Engine Wikis. 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.

Image Controllers can only have their rights revoked by themselves, Administrators, Bureaucrats, Junior Admins, Deluxe Administrators, or Fandom Utilities, and they can only be promoted by Administrators, Bureaucrats, Junior Admins, Deluxe Administrators, and Fandom Utilities. Having this status causes 'IMAGE CONTROL' to appear next to the username on the user's userpage.

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 another on this wiki.

Phalanxes is a fictional usergroup that is based on the previously existing RegexBlock and SpamRegex usergroups on the Fandom wiki. As the name of the usergroup implies, users belonging to that group have the ability to manage global blocks and spam filters. Phalanxes can only have their rights revoked by Fandom Utilities, and they can only be promoted by Fandom Utilities.

Emailconfirmed Users
Emailconfirmed Users are a fictional global usergroup that is based on the now existing global usergroup of the same name.

Suppressors
Suppressors are a fictional global usergroup that is based on the previously existing Oversight global usergroup. As the name of the usergroup implies, users belonging to that group 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 from any user. Suppressors can only have their rights revoked by Fandom Utilities, and they can only be promoted by Fandom Utilities.

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.

On wikis with the SpamBlacklist extension enabled, User Rollbackers are able to override and view the spam blacklist. They can only have their rights revoked by Fandom Utilities, and they can only be promoted by Fandom Utilities. Having this status causes 'USER ROLLBACK' to appear next to the username on the user's userpage.
