Soyjak Wiki:Moderation

This page is a guide to the different user groups on Soyjak Wiki.

Bureaucrat

You can think of a Bureaucrat as having similar rights to what an admin would have on soyjak.party or 4chan.

A bureaucrat can do anything that a moderator can, but they can also:

• Give or revoke any user rights to any user.
• Edit the Interwiki Tables
• Rename users

Interface editor

Users within this group are able to edit any pages under the "MediaWiki" namespace, such as the CSS or Sitenotice.

Moderator

Referred to as administrators by the site interface, moderators have far more permissions than helpers.

These additional functions include:

• Deleting and undeleting pages, page histories, and uploaded files.
• Grant autoapproved rights to any user.
• They can unblock themselves. Believe it or not, there has been a ban war between moderators.

Check User

The Check User group is an add-on function only given to moderators or trusted helpers.

The function includes:

• Being able to see IP addresses of user accounts. IP addresses are to be used pursuant to the Privacy Policy.

Temporary account IP viewer

Users within this group can see IP addresses of anonymous editors through their cloak.

Suppressor

(((Suppressors))) have the ability to memoryhole certain revisions and clear usernames from logs.

Whenever you see (log details removed), you can be certain that it was one of them.

Only Administrators are given suppressor privileges, however, there have been two exceptions to this.

AllPageEdit

AllPageEdit is another usergroup that can be given to users that are heavily trusted and are known not to be vandals. Users with this group can edit Admin-protected pages.

In practice, its main use is to be given to helpers. So far, this permission has been given to only two non-helper users.

Helper

Helpers are trusted users that are halfway between moderators and normal users.

You can think of a helper as having similar rights to what a janitor would have on soyjak.party or 4chan.

Helpers have the ability to do the following:

• Edit Admin-protected pages
• Ban Users
• Delete pages (but not to restore them)
• Protect and unprotect pages
• Rollback edits

Approver

Approvers are users who have the ability to approve and/or deny edits to the wiki. This was briefly added in June 2024, but made a return in November 2024. Wiki mediators may be approvers, rollbackers, or both.

Automoderated

Automoderated users are users who are trusted enough to bypass the approval system. This is attained automatically by creating 50+ edits or manually granted by a moderator or bureaucrat.

Rollback

Rollback is a state of the art censorship tool created by Angeleno that allows bureaucrats and and their handpicked enforcers to revert multiple edits made by the same user at once without a prompt. Simply click the rollback button in parenthesis on the history section of an article or in RecentChanges. This feature was implemented in order to make "it so much easier to censor the truth". Wiki mediators may be approvers, rollbackers, or both.

In practice, this feature is barely useful as most of the spam can be undone by an autoapproved user using the undo button, or is usually spread across multiple pages.

>You CANNOT "Rollforward" pages to see what they will look like in the future. Don't try this. You have been warned.

What a rollbacker should do

• Rollback whatever breaks the rules

What a rollbacker shouldn't do

• Use rollbacking as a tool to edit war efficiently
• Rollback whatever xhe doesn't like

Autoconfirmed

Autoconfirmed users are similar to normal users, however, they have a few more abilities, including

• Ability to move pages
• Exemption from automated anti-spam filters, such as blanking protection.
• Ability to edit pages that are locked to autoconfirmed users only.

Users become automatically autoconfirmed if their account:

• Is more than 14 days old
• Made 50 or more edits

Users cannot be given autoconfirmed by another user. It's a fully automatic process.

Bot

A bot is an automated program that carries out repetitive tasks that would be tedious to do manually. Most bots are limited in the scope of their operations and concentrate on cleaning up in a specific area.

Mod

Mod was a former user group made by Soot. Only Syjck and -soyboywojak- ever became mod, and both users had their mod status removed by Soot.

These are the exact flags Soot set for wiki mods:
