Wikihierarchism

Wikihierarchism is the view that wikis should be organized as a top-down hierarchy of superusers, with each level appointed by, and accountable to, superuser(s) in the level above them.

There is a slight version of that here on ATT, with the following hierarchy (from top to bottom, all levels above the lowest have the rights of the previous levels as well, except where stated otherwise):


 * Bureaucrats: Can grant any rights to others or themselves, but by default have no right not otherwise posses by other tropers. Is the only user that can remove other users' bureaucrat rights.


 * Administrators/Sysops: Can delete or restore pages, can grant rights to other users.


 * Rollbackers: Can rollback a page to its original revision for anti-vandalism purposes.


 * Tropers: Can edit and move (i.e. - rename) pages. Can also upload images


 * Autoconfirmed/confirmed: As an anti spammer/vandal measure, a troper has to make about ten edits before they can autodisable the captcha when posting external links or upload images, thus graduate to the Troper level.

Since this wiki is part of the Orain wiki farm, only Orain Staff have the right "CheckUser", which can investigate the IP address of users. This is to prevent the administrator/bureaucrat abuse of this feature, though if need be the right to use this will be granted on a temporary basis, though most of the time Orain Staff will use this power at their discretion and only when there is a need.
