==User groups management== | ==User groups management== | ||
Administrators can manage a few user groups, including [[Test Wiki:Chat moderators|chat moderator]], [[Test wiki:Patrollers|patroller]], and a few others. If you are a sysop, 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. You can test this on the [[User:Example|example account]] or on an alternate account of yours. | |||

The [[Test Wiki:Revision deletion|revision deletion]] feature, also known as 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 revision deletion, the revision is hidden to all regular users, however, anyone else with sysop rights can also see it. | The [[Test Wiki:Revision deletion|revision deletion]] feature, also known as revdel, allows you to hide certain revisions of a page.

The block button allows you to stop users from editing in certain ways. You can block your own accounts here for testing, or the [[User:Example|example account]]. There are many options when blocking. Firstly, you can stop a user from editing specific pages or namespaces. (User pages, talk pages, etc.) This is useful for someone who is edit warring on a page. Otherwise, you can do a sitewide block. This stops the user from editing all pages except their user talk page. | |||
