KHWiki:Autoconfirmed users

Autoconfirmed users are defined as users who have had an account on the Kingdom Hearts Wiki for at least three (3) days and have made at least five (5) edits. New users gain certain rights upon becoming autoconfirmed.

The rights that are gained upon being autoconfirmed are:

• Creating new articles
• Moving pages and files
• Editing semi-protected pages
• Uploading files from a URL
• Uploading new versions of existing files

Autoconfirmed FAQ

Q. What rights do new users have?

A. New users have all the same rights as autoconfirmed users except for those listed above.

Q. What is the purpose of autoconfirmation?

A. We restrict these abilities for the purposes of security against vandalism and spam. Specifically:

• Moving pages and files can be burdensome to undo even for admins.
• The purpose of semi-protection is to disallow edits from anonymous and new users to combat vandalism or spam.
• Uploading files from a URL is generally unnecessary anyway, and makes it significantly easier to upload undesired images.
• While the most important images are often protected, uploading new versions of existing files can be abused by new-account vandals to quickly insert unwanted images onto a multitude of pages.

Q. Can users bypass the autoconfirmation process?

A. No. All users must pass both parts of the autoconfirm criteria with no exceptions.
