User:Xbony2/Sandbox/Groups 2

My renewed groups proposal. Slightly WIP.

Main hierarchy
This is a hierarchy; rights from the lower groups move move up to the higher groups.

Bureaucrats

 * Can assign/change/remove groups. Should only be done after going through proper procedures.
 * Can modify abuse filters.
 * Can manage achievements, connectstats, wikipoints, etc.

Administrators

 * Can edit all protected pages.
 * Can protected/unprotect high-use pages.
 * Can manage tags.
 * Can edit the Interwiki table.
 * Can edit all user's CSS/JS files.
 * Can import pages from other wikis.
 * Can edit MediaWiki messages.
 * Can mass delete pages (nuke).
 * Can delete revisions and view deleted revisions (note revisions should only be deleted if it contains personal information or in other similar cases).
 * Translation administrators' rights.
 * Have admin rights on #FTB-Wiki.

Staff

 * Can patrol pages.
 * Can edit staff-protected pages.
 * Can ban/unban users.
 * Can operate a closed-sourced bot.
 * Can create and edit tilesheets.
 * Promoted based on staff vote.
 * Are voiced on #FTB-Wiki.
 * Have access to the ftb-wiki CurseVoice channel.
 * Demoted after 3 months of inactivity without contact or notice, or when banned or as punishment, or on request from the editor. If demoted for inactivity, should be placed in "editor" group; this allows a retired staff member to be have a leg up if they want to create content for the wiki again.
 * [note: staff is a "big tent" group. It includes translation staff, regular staff, the template team, etc. They may be different titles and roles, but they don't need to be different groups.]

Editors

 * Can delete/undelete pages.
 * Can edit the OreDict.
 * Can move pages.
 * Is automatically patrolled.
 * Can re-upload images made by other users.
 * Promoted based on staff choosing; any staff can nominate a user for editor rights if they are trustworthy and if they create documentation past a few pages. Requires no formal vote.
 * Demoted only when banned or as punishment or on request from the editor.

Users

 * Can upload images (and re-upload own images).
 * Can translate pages.
 * Can import offline translations.
 * Can have their own user pages, and custom CSS/JS.

IPs

 * Can view pages.
 * Can create pages and edit unprotected pages.

Special groups
These groups exist for users who serve a particular usage in the wiki.

Admin Bot

 * See- Bot and Administrators.

Curse

 * Can... do anything they want, really.
 * Can re-assign groups in the event all of the bureaucrats are murdered, or go insane, or have their accounts compromised (or more likely, leave and become inactive on the wiki).
 * Curse-controlled.

Curse Bots

 * See- Bot and Curse.
 * Curse-controlled.

Bots

 * Extension of Staff.
 * Are treated as an automated process (bot).
 * Have higher limits in API queries.
 * Staff can promote bots. Only staff can maintain bots.
 * Shouldn't be demoted, but can be banned if malfunctioned or on a rampage.

DACs (dev appointed curator)

 * Extension of Editor.
 * Considered a form of staff.
 * Are voiced on #FTB-Wiki.
 * Have access to the ftb-wiki CurseVoice channel.
 * Promoted based on mod author choosing; any mod author can nominate a user for DAC rights if they are trusted. Requires no formal vote.
 * Demoted after 3 months of inactivity without contact or notice, or when banned or as punishment, or on request from the DAC or mod author. If demoted for inactivity, should be placed in "editor" group; this allows a retired DAC member to be have a leg up if they want to create content for the wiki again.

Translation administrators

 * Can change message groups.
 * Can manage message groups.
 * Can mark versions of pages for translation.

Misc tasks needed to be done

 * Disabling WikiClaims- on most large, established wikis, such as this one, they are disabled. See, , , ,  etc...
 * Re-assigning of groups, especially to retired users.
 * Removal of non-existant groups (eg. Smwadministrator) (need to talk to Curse about this)
