Updated list of user groups, with explanations and correct links to lists of members.
== List of Groups ==There are a number of user categories groups on MozillaWiki, some of which have additional duties to creating new content and editing existing pages. The categories are mostly additive.
===Users===
Everyone becomes a MozillaWiki User when they register and confirm their email address. You will be able to edit existing pages but not create them until you have been [[MozillaWiki:Account_confirmation|confirm]]ed.
===Autoconfirmed users===This Users become autoconfirmed once their account is a default option on MediaWiki but is not presently used by MozillaWiki5 days old and they have made 10 or more edits. Autoconfirmed users can move pages and files, and see which pages have been patrolled.
==confirm==Because of A user's autoconfirmed status is determined automatically, but a history of spamming on MozillaWiki we are considering switching Bureaucrat can give someone implicit autoconfirmed status by adding them to a method of checking the confirmed users before allowing them to edit anything other than their userpage. Once we have reckoned that someone is probably not a spammer or vandal we will set this flag on which will let you create new pages and upload images and filesgroup.
===Confirmed users===Confirmed users are those generally recognized as Mozillians who have made valid contributions to MozillaWiki. Users who belong to this group are able to edit semiprotected pages, move root user pages, mark edits as minor and view the delete history. === Account confirmers ===Users belonging to the account confirmers group review and then approve or deny requests for user accounts. === Anti-spam Team ===Users belonging to this group help fight spam on the wiki. They are able to delete one or more pages at once, rollback several edits at once, ban users, and ban a user from sending email. They are not subject to ipblocks or ratelimits. * [{{SERVER}}/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&group=antispam List members] ===Bots===
Some maintenance tasks can be carried out via small programs. Such programs have to be registered as 'bots' to be allowed access.
===Bureaucrats===Bureaucrats are primarily responsible for managing MozillaWiki users. They have the ability to create accounts, block users, edit a user's css and javascript, rename users, and add and remove users from Confirmed users and Bots groups. * [{{SERVER}}/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&group=bureaucrat List members] ===Administrators(sysops)===Someone has Administrators, also know as sysops, are users with the ability to do perform some special actions on MozillaWiki, including deleting and undeleting pages, protecting and unprotecting pages, editing protected pages, and editing the maintenance tasksuser interface. * [{{SERVER}}/index. Administrators do that on php?title=Special:ListUsers&group=sysop List members] ===MozillaWiki Team===This group identifies those who are an active part of the MozillaWiki team.  * [{{SERVER}}/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&group=team List members] ===Module owners and peers===This group identifies current MozillaWiki module owners and peers. Members of this group are able to adjust all user group rights and suppress revisions (hide deleted revisions from all users). * [{{SERVER}}/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&group=module List members] ===Canmove (retired)=== This group has been retired. Previously, the ability to move a page was restricted to users who belonged to this group. == Requesting Group Membership ==
