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.

There are currently 3 administrators and 3 moderators.

Keepers of the Keys
