Revision as of 15:13, 21 July 2020
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 “change 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.
Delete/Undelete button
These buttons allow you to delete or undelete a page.
Revision deletion (“revdel”)
The revision deletion feature (“revdel”) allows you to hide certain revisions of a page. You can either delete the edit summary, the edit itself, or the person who performed the edit. If you use revdel, the revision is hidden to all regular users, but admins, crats, and Stewards can stil see them.
To delete a revision, click the check mark next to it, then click the “change visibility of selected revisions” button, which is right above the page history. Then, you will be taken into a menu, where you can choose how to hide the revision. If you’re just testing the feature, make sure to put “test” in the edit summary to avoid confusion. You should then un-hide the revision, unless you have a reason other than testing purposes to hide it. However, if that is the case, you should use an appropriate edit summary.
