Registreret bruger
En registret bruger er en bruger der har oprettet en konto og har logget ind på et Wikimedia projekt. Udover hvad en ikke registeret bruger kan gøre kan en registreret bruger:
- Oprette andre sider end diskussionssider
- Redigere dine egne indstillinger
- Redigere din egen overvågningsliste (bemærk at nogle handlinger vil stadig tilføje sider selv uden denne rettighed)
- Lægge filer op
- Markere redigeringer som mindre
- Flytte sider
Den fulde liste over rettigheder kan ses her Brugergrupperettigheder.
Alle ændringer lavet som en registreret bruger vil vise brugernavnet i historikken istedet for en IP adresse.
Registered users (excepting administrators or Wikimedia Staff) cannot edit or move protected pages. Newly registered users cannot edit semi-protected pages or move any page. Several other minor restrictions, depending on the wiki, may apply to newly-registered users (per phabricator:T14556, media uploads are an autoconfirmed right on most wikis, Commons being a notable exception).
Registered users on Wikimedia Commons include trusted users. As Commons has many Flickr images and requires reviewers to ensure that claimed copyrighted licenses are valid, a registered user familiar with Commons licensing may apply to become a trusted user, which is a user sub-class on Commons. Current Commons administrators need not apply to become trusted users as they already have a higher user class than registered users.
Autoconfirmed status
On MediaWiki, there is a pseudo-group called "autoconfirmed" to prevent new accounts from flooding a wiki with low quality or vandalism edits. After an account is a number of days old, or has performed a certain number of edits, the account is given the "autoconfirmed" flag. The thresholds are different for different wikis, though the default configuration is four days delay, with no minimum edit count requirement.
Examples of custom configurations:
- English Wikipedia - after four days and 10 edits
- Russian Wikipedia - after four days and 15 edits
- Italian Wikipedia - after seven days and 50 edits
As of December 2022, the longest waiting period is 7 days (in de.wikibooks, it.wiki, no.wiki, wuu.wiki, and most zh.* wikis); and the highest edit count requirement is 50 edits (in ar.wiki, es.wiki, it.wiki, zh.wiki and wikidata), whereas the most common custom setting is 10 edits. For an up-to-date of the current settings, review the $wgAutoConfirmAge and $wgAutoConfirmCount arrays in WMF's InitializeSettings.php.
Some requests to increase such limits have been rejected in the past — see Limits to configuration changes.
