View source for FCWMeta:User access levels

The '''user access level''' of an editor determines what abilities they have and what actions they can perform. Each user access level, or '''user group''', has permissions/rights which are assigned. See [[Special:ListGroupRights]] to see all the available user groups and their permissions/rights.

== Administrators and Moderators ==
'''Administrators''' and '''Moderators''' are editors who have broad rights over the whole wiki, such as protection, deletion, moving of pages, blocking and unblocking of users, and more. Administrators have more sensitive rights, and can assign and remove Moderators.

These editors are part of the ''wiki staff'', which determine the policies of this wiki, enforce any binding decisions, keep the peace of the wiki, and moderate and curate its contents.

The wiki staff may decide, from time to time, to grant Moderator status to active, reputable, and responsible editors. Requests for staff access level will not be entertained, however endorsements for other editors' may be considered.

== Trusted users ==
'''Trusted users''' are editors who have been active in their contributions or are reputable members of the community, and has the trust of the wiki staff. They have the rights to edit semi-protected pages, and patrol changes.

If you have been especially active in contributing, a staff member may grant this access level to you. You may also request this access level by contacting one of the staff; however, repeated requests may warrant sanctions.

== Special access levels ==
These access levels are specially granted to users by decision of the wiki staff. Requests for these access levels will not be considered, and may warrant sanctions.
