This page is meant to show testwiki.wiki administrators how to use their shiny new tools, including the manage user groups, delete, revision delete (“revdel”) and block buttons. There are many more buttons, you may wish to go to Special:ListGroupRights and look under the “administrators” section to see all the user rights admins have.
Managing user groups
Administrators can manage a few user groups, including Autopatrol, Patroller, and a few others. If you are an admin, you can do this by going to a user’s userpage and clicking “manage user groups” on the left-hand side. You can set how long you want the user to have the right, or you can choose to have it never expire. It’s up to you. A good idea is to create a second account to test these user rights on. Then you can see what the different rights do.
Important: If you are an admin and you want to manage your own user rights, DO NOT uncheck “sysop” in your list. You will NOT be able to re-add it, and will be stuck as a normal user until someone can fix this for you. User:^sithjarjar^, the creator of this school, made That Mistake once. It was embarrassing.
