The permissions table lists all users as having watchlist permissions, yet the software doesn't support watchlists for IP users. Is this a mistake? OXYLYPSE (talk) 09:00, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

:Probably. Will have to look into it and get back to you. Primefac (talk) 12:23, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

::{{fixed}}, thanks. Primefac (talk) 16:26, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

I've started a discussion at Wikipedia:Village_pump_(idea_lab)#Should_admins_be_extended_confirmed? about making admins keep Extended confirmed by default. Editors here may be interested in that discussion. Soni (talk) 07:06, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

{{requested move/dated|Wikipedia:User groups|protected=Wikipedia:User access levels}}

:Wikipedia:User access levels → {{no redirect|Wikipedia:User groups}} – The English Wikipedia term "user access level" seems to be a synonym of the MediaWiki term "user group". It is always good to use standard terminology rather than make up our own. See mw:Help:User rights and groups, Special:UserGroupRights, and mw:Manual:User rights for examples of MediaWiki using the term "user group".

Quick recap: in MediaWiki (the software that powers Wikipedia), we have "user rights" such as block, and these user rights are assigned to "user groups" such as sysop. Each user group can be masked with a more readable name in the local language, and that more readable name is set at pages such as MediaWiki:Group-sysop. In this case, the mask of sysop is "Administrators". –Novem Linguae (talk) 15:39, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

• Support. We'd also need to rename categories such as :Category:Wikipedians by Wikipedia user access level. --Ahecht (TALK

• Support. Now that I think about it, I've definitely heard "User groups" more than "User access levels". Plus, making titles concise is (mostly) good. Yelps ᘛ⁠⁐̤⁠ᕐ⁠ᐷ critique me
• Support. That's the more common terminology. Schwede66 21:53, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
