- What is a permission? A permission is an ability used to help out wikipedia's maintenance, given to only trusted users here. Some abilities include Checkuser, Oversight, Administrator (also called sysops), Rollbackers, Bureaucrats, and Stewards.
Correct
- What pages are un-registered users able to edit? Un-registered users (also called IP addresses) are able to pages of wikipedia as long as it is not protected or semi-protected, their userspace, and their talk namespace.
Correct
- What is an auto confirmed account? An auto confirmed account is a new user account that is les than four days old (UTC). During thiose four days, those users are unable to recieve rollback permission, move pages, edit semi and protected pages, and be granted any other kind of permission. Basically, you have the rules as an IP address or un-registered user.
Correct
- What permissions do registered accounts have? They are able to move pages, edit semi-protected pages, be granted permissions including Checkuser, Oversight, Administrator (also called sysops), Rollbackers, Bureaucrats, and Stewards, as long as they are trusted enough to have those permissions. But all registered users are able to move pages, edit semi-protected pages, create pages, and upload files such as images.
Correct
- Who can grant rollback? Any administrator. Even users who have more than one permission as long as they are an admin.
Correct
- What does rollback enable you to do? Revert edits by one editor all in one edit. It is also faster to revert with rollback and it only takes 2 clicks of the mouse to do so.
Correct
- What should you not use rollback for? They should never be used for non-vandalism, good faith edits, content disputes, and enabling the 3 revert rule, also known as the WP:3RR.
Correct
- What are administrators able to do? Administrators have many so called "tools" they can use. They have abilities such as deleting and restoring deleted pages, block and unblock users, protect a page at any level of protection, grant rollbacker status, make changes to teh WikiMedia interface, change what users see when editing or viewing certain pages, watch unwatched pages that are not on user's watchlist, edit any protection level, and locking certain reversions. Admins can be granted sysyop permission by passing the WP:RFA.
Correct
- How do you request adminship? You must first nominate yourself or be nominated by another user, you then file a request at WP:RFA. After that, you wait for a week and you can answer questions by others while they vote and see if you are a trusted user to give admin rights.
Partly Correct - An RFA also needs a bareminimum of 70% support to pass, however in practice the percentage varies.
- What are bureaucrats main duties? They can alter a user's permissions, grant admin and bureaucrat permissions, they can rename a user's username, alter a bot's access level. To become a bureaucrat, you must request at the WP:RFB.
Correct
- What technical abilities do stewards have? They have total access to a users permissions. They have the ability to grant and remove any higher access level including admins, bureaucrats, checkusers, oversighters, stewards, and bot access. They are able to do that on any language of wikipedia.
Correct
- What does checkuser enable a user to check? Check if an account is a sockpuppet of another account, IP, and bot. It should only be used if necessary. You can request it at WP:CHECK.
Correct
- What is oversight? A permission where you can hide a reverion from a page's history, mostly used when private information is given out in an edit. It is almost like deleting a reversion. The permission is ussually given out to current or former members of the Arbitration Committee.
Correct
- What type of a user must you be to be granted oversight? A current or former members of the Arbitration Committee, you also need good reasoning for the permission. This is a permission only granted to certain users that is not included in any other access levels.
Correct- Note that Oversight is on rare occasions granted to other trusted users, in rare circumstances, such as User:Alison. However, this wasn't in the lesson, so I'm not going to penalise you for it.
