Additional abilities to edit and/or manage and administrate the many levels within WP even beyond the actual articles What pages are un-registered users able to edit? those that have not been protected or semi-protected What is an auto confirmed account? a registered account What permissions do registered accounts have? after 4 days and 10 edits these account holders can edit, move, and create pages freely, while also uploading files. Who can grant rollback? Admins and other users who have been granted the permission What does rollback enable you to do? allows user to revert back to last revision made by a user other than the one being rolled back.. it can only be granted by admins What should you not use rollback for? fighting content disputes What does the account creator allow you to do? allows you to create more than 6 accounts per day If you have the IP block exemption user right, what does it allow you to do? post from a previously blocked IP address What does the autopatrolled user right allow you to do? it reduces the workload of new page patrollers, and ultimately means a user can be trusted not to submit inappropriate material What are administrators able to do? Rewrite history and change the laws of physics. ;-) Just checking to see if you're paying attention Steven! ;-) ... once approved admins can use the sysop tools... can delete and restore deleted pages, and generally have a wider range of access tools. They can also make changes to the MediaWiki interface. How do you request adminship? by entering and passing the Requests for Adminship process (generally, 70% support is required) What are bureaucrats main duties? wasting taxpayer money. ;-) JK... they have control over the nuts and bolts of permissions, and can alter a bot's access levels and can rename accounts. What technical abilities do stewards have? to grant and revoke any higher access level including those noted above plus several others. What does checkuser enable a user to check? if an account is a sockpuppet of another What is oversight? a tool that allows a user to hide certain revisions from public view What type of a user must you be to be granted oversight? users with a particular need for the tool, generally current or former members of the arbitration comittee.
