User:BoHere/UserRightsDraft

Extended user rights are special abilities granted to certain users, and users with extended user rights are part of the Gender Wiki's Wiki Staff. Extended user rights can be translated to "extra buttons" - extra buttons that are used to help take care of and moderate a wiki. The user rights roles that can potentially be assigned are: rollback, discussions moderator (thread moderator), content moderator, administrator, abusefilter administrator, and bureaucrat. A list of the current wiki staff can be seen on our Administration page.

Below, the process for obtaining extended user rights on the Gender Wiki is described. Please note that user rights applications are not currently open, but they may be in the future, if it becomes apparent that we're in need of more staff members.
