Wikinews:Autoconfirmed users
From Wikinews, the free news source you can write!
Autoconfirmed users are any users who have had an account for a set amount of time (~3 days). This is to try and prevent vandalism from users who just create an account to vandalize. These users, in addition to what all users can do can:
- Edit semi-protected pages (autoconfirmed)
- Move pages (move)
- Overwrite an existing uploaded file or image (reupload)
- Perform captcha triggering actions without having to go through the captcha (skipcaptcha)
- For example, new users if they insert a link to an external site in a page have to type a word from a picture to make sure that they are not an automated program.
- Upload files and images (upload)
For more information on user groups, see Special:ListGroupRights and Wikinews:Administrators. For information on Wikinewsies in general see Wikinews:Wikinewsies.
