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
Even though the ability to view detailed abuse log entries is already included with the Administrator usergroup on wikis that have abuse filters enabled, I subsequently decided that Deluxe Administrators should have the ability even as a standalone group.
 * Abusefilter-log-detail

In November 2020 I ultimately decided to grant virtually all of the Administrator permissions that still function to the Deluxe Administrator usergroup, rather than to allow myself to get locked in a repetitive cycle of continually adding individual administrative abilities to the Deluxe Administrator usergroup upon discovering that certain permissions already extended to them as a standalone group were dependent on other administrative abilities that weren't already extended to them.

Even though the ability to create and modify abuse filters is already included with the Administrator usergroup on wikis that have abuse filters enabled, I subsequently decided that Deluxe Administrators should have the ability even as a standalone group.
 * Abusefilter-modify

Even though the ability to modify abuse filters with restricted actions is already included with the Administrator usergroup on wikis that have abuse filters enabled, I subsequently decided that Deluxe Administrators should have the ability even as a standalone group.
 * Abusefilter-modify-restricted

In November 2020 I ultimately decided to grant virtually all of the Administrator permissions that still function to the Deluxe Administrator usergroup, rather than to allow myself to get locked in a repetitive cycle of continually adding individual administrative abilities to the Deluxe Administrator usergroup upon discovering that certain permissions already extended to them as a standalone group were dependent on other administrative abilities that weren't already extended to them.

Even though the ability to revert all changes by a given abuse filter is already included with the Administrator usergroup on wikis that have abuse filters enabled, I subsequently decided that Deluxe Administrators should have the ability even as a standalone group.
 * Abusefilter-revert

In November 2020 I ultimately decided to grant virtually all of the Administrator permissions that still function to the Deluxe Administrator usergroup, rather than to allow myself to get locked in a repetitive cycle of continually adding individual administrative abilities to the Deluxe Administrator usergroup upon discovering that certain permissions already extended to them as a standalone group were dependent on other administrative abilities that weren't already extended to them.

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. During that time, I had granted those permissions to local Administrators, unaware that they were CheckUser level permissions.

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 Approved Revs extension added
None of the usergroups on Fandom wikis have the ability to set a certain revision of a wiki page as approved, as the permission has never existed on Fandom wikis. Despite this, the system messages related to the extension do appear on Fandom wikis. Deluxe Administrators were subsequently granted the ability to approve revisions on Fandom wikis with the Approve Revs extension enabled in November 2020, in case the extension is ever added to Fandom wikis.
 * Approverevisions

Also system messages related to the extension do appear on Gamepedia wikis, which probably explains why system messages related to the extension have appeared on Fandom wikis. By default, the ability to approve revisions is extended to Administrators on sites where it is enabled, which is why I thought it made sense for it to be immediately granted to Deluxe Administrators on Fandom wikis with the extension enabled, should the extension ever be added to Fandom wikis.

None of the usergroups on Fandom wikis have the ability to view text showing who approved the current approved revision, as the permission has never existed on Fandom wikis. Despite this, the system messages related to the extension do appear on Fandom wikis. Deluxe Administrators were subsequently granted the ability to view text showing who approved the current approved revision on Fandom wikis with the Approve Revs extension enabled in November 2020, in case the extension is ever added to Fandom wikis.
 * Viewapprover

Also system messages related to the extension do appear on Gamepedia wikis, which probably explains why system messages related to the extension have appeared on Fandom wikis. By default, the ability to view text showing who approved the current approved revision is extended to Administrators on sites where it is enabled, which is why I thought it made sense for it to be immediately granted to Deluxe Administrators on Fandom wikis with the extension enabled, should the extension ever be added to Fandom wikis.

Abilities that Deluxe Administrators have on wikis with the FlaggedRevs extension added
None of the usergroups on Fandom wikis have the ability to have their own revisions automatically marked as "accepted", as the permission has never existed on Fandom wikis. Despite this, the system messages related to the extension do appear on Fandom wikis. Deluxe Administrators were subsequently granted the ability to autoreview their own revisions on Fandom wikis with the FlaggedRevs extension enabled in November 2020, in case the extension is ever added to Fandom wikis.
 * Autoreview

Also system messages related to the extension do appear on Gamepedia wikis, which probably explains why system messages related to the extension have appeared on Fandom wikis. The ability to autoreview one's own revisions is often granted to Administrators on sites that make use of the permission, which is why I thought it made sense for it to be immediately granted to Deluxe Administrators on Fandom wikis with the extension enabled, should the extension ever be added to Fandom wikis.

None of the usergroups on Fandom wikis have the ability to move pages under pending changes, as the permission has never existed on Fandom wikis. Despite this, the system messages related to the extension do appear on Fandom wikis. Deluxe Administrators were subsequently granted the ability to move pages under pending changes on Fandom wikis with the FlaggedRevs extension enabled in November 2020, in case the extension is ever added to Fandom wikis.

Despite this, the system messages related to the extension do appear on Fandom wikis.

The ability to mark revisions as being "accepted" is often granted to Administrators on sites that make use of the permission, which is why I thought it made sense for it to be immediately granted to Deluxe Administrators on Fandom wikis with the extension enabled, should the extension ever be added to Fandom wikis.

None of the usergroups on Fandom wikis have the ability to configure how the latest accepted revision is selected and displayed, as the permission has never existed on Fandom wikis. Despite this, the system messages related to the extension do appear on Fandom wikis. Deluxe Administrators were subsequently granted the ability to configure how the latest accepted revision is selected and displayed on Fandom wikis with the FlaggedRevs extension enabled in November 2020, in case the extension is ever added to Fandom wikis.
 * Stablesettings

Also system messages related to the extension do appear on Gamepedia wikis, which probably explains why system messages related to the extension have appeared on Fandom wikis.

Abilities that Deluxe Administrators have on wikis with the Translate extension added
None of the usergroups on Fandom wikis have the ability to mark versions of pages for translation, as the permission has never existed on Fandom wikis. Despite this, the system messages related to the extension do appear on Fandom wikis. Deluxe Administrators were subsequently granted the ability to mark versions of pages for translation on Fandom wikis with the Translate extension enabled in November 2020, in case the extension is ever added to Fandom wikis.
 * Pagetranslation

Also system messages related to the extension do appear on Gamepedia wikis, which probably explains why system messages related to the extension have appeared on Fandom wikis. By default, the ability to mark versions of pages for translation is extended to Administrators on sites where it is enabled, which is why I thought it made sense for it to be immediately granted to Deluxe Administrators on Fandom wikis with the extension enabled, should the extension ever be added to Fandom wikis.

None of the usergroups on Fandom wikis have the ability to manage message groups, as the permission has never existed on Fandom wikis. Despite this, the system messages related to the extension do appear on Fandom wikis.

 * Translate-manage

Also system messages related to the extension do appear on Gamepedia wikis, which probably explains why system messages related to the extension have appeared on Fandom wikis. By default, the ability to manage message groups is extended to Administrators on sites where it is enabled, which is why I thought it made sense for it to be immediately granted to Deluxe Administrators on Fandom wikis with the extension enabled, should the extension ever be added to Fandom wikis.

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. Even though it is largely pointless since 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 WhereIsExtension special page added to them.
