=== Special protected areas === |
|||
Some parts of the wiki use higher trust levels: |
|||
* Template and Form pages require the <code>template-edit</code> right. |

* MediaWiki interface pages and site/user CSS, JS, and JSON require <code>editinterface</code>. |
|||
* The custom Solomonari namespace requires the <code>solomonari</code> right. |

* Some individually protected pages may also require the <code>solomonari_hr</code> or <code>cotrh_hr</code> rights. |
|||

== Gatekeep == |
||
The private workspace is for lore drafts and work in progress. Only <code>gatekeep</code> and <code>sysop</code> can read it; other roles do not automatically grant access. |

Unregistered visitors can read the wiki and create an account. They cannot edit pages or upload files. |
|||
* Create drafts as <code>Gatekeep:Your draft</code>; use <code>Gatekeep_talk:</code> for discussion. |
|||
=== Registered members === |
|||
* Use the standard wiki editor. Page Forms and private-page preloads are unavailable. To search drafts, select the Gatekeep namespace. |
|||
Registered members can: |
|||
* Private pages cannot be included in other pages. Cargo exports and Discord activity messages are disabled. |
|||
* Edit talk pages and other non-protected discussion/personal-space pages |
|||
* '''Titles, authors, timestamps and edit summaries may remain public. Uploaded files remain public.''' Keep sensitive details out of this metadata. Categories do not make pages private; moving previously public material cannot recall published copies. |

|||
== Protection and security == |
|||
This is the normal contributor role for members who are actively helping with the wiki. |
|||
Page protection and account blocks can restrict editing further. The Main Page has cascading protection: it needs maintainer/sysop permissions, and included pages may inherit that protection. |
|||
Two-factor authentication is configured as required for moderator, maintainer, interface-admin and sysop. For access problems, check your groups and the page’s protection, then ask staff through {{Discord|Discord}}. |
|||
=== Solomonari === |
|||
Solomonari is a separate access flag for the custom Solomonari namespace. It is assigned where needed and does not replace the normal contributor/staff ladder by itself. |
|||
[[Help:Editing guide|Editing guide]] · [[Echoes of the Flesh:Templates|Template guide]] · [[Special:ListGroupRights|Live group rights]] |
|||
=== CotRH === |
|||
CotRH is a separate access flag for the custom CotRH namespace. It is assigned where needed and does not replace the normal contributor/staff ladder by itself. |
|||
=== Solomonari_HR === |
|||
Solomonari_HR is a separate page-protection access flag. It is intended for individually protected high-restriction pages and does not, by itself, grant the normal contributor or staff permissions ladder. It can, however, grant and remove the <code>solomonari</code> group. |
|||
=== CotRH_HR === |
|||
CotRH_HR is a separate page-protection access flag. It is intended for individually protected high-restriction pages and does not, by itself, grant the normal contributor or staff permissions ladder. It can, however, grant and remove the <code>cotrh</code> group. |
|||
=== Moderators === |
|||
Moderators have all verified member permissions, plus day-to-day workflow and trust-management tools. They can: |
|||
* Patrol and autopatrol edits |
|||
* Roll back vandalism or bad edits |
|||
* Suppress redirects when moving pages |
|||
* Bypass CAPTCHA where needed |
|||
* Manage certain user group assignments |
|||
* Grant and remove the <code>verified</code>, <code>solomonari</code>, <code>solomonari_hr</code>, <code>cotrh</code>, and <code>cotrh_hr</code> groups |
|||
* Use Flow moderation tools available on this wiki |
|||
Moderators are intended to handle routine content review and contributor verification, not heavy administrative maintenance. |
|||
=== Maintainers === |
|||
Maintainers have all moderator permissions, plus broader maintenance and administrative tooling. They can: |
|||
* Protect pages and edit protected pages |
|||
* Edit templates and forms |
|||
* Edit restricted fields and selected advanced content models |
|||
* Block users |
|||
* Upload by URL and reupload shared files |
|||
* Run Cargo queries and rebuild Cargo data |
|||
* View AbuseFilter logs available to this role |
|||
* Use selected advanced extension maintenance tools |
|||
* Grant and remove the <code>moderator</code> group in addition to <code>verified</code>, <code>solomonari</code>, <code>solomonari_hr</code>, <code>cotrh</code>, and <code>cotrh_hr</code> |
|||
Maintainers are the main high-trust content and operations role on this wiki. |
|||
=== Interface administrators === |
|||
Interface administrators can edit site interface content, including MediaWiki pages and site/user CSS, JS, and JSON. This role is restricted because interface pages can affect the whole wiki. |
|||
=== Administrators (sysop) === |
|||
Administrators have full site administration permissions, including the custom protection rights used on this wiki. This is the highest general administration role. |
|||
=== Bureaucrats === |
|||
Bureaucrats handle assignment of the highest-trust operational roles. On this wiki, bureaucrats can grant and remove: |
|||
* verified |
|||
* solomonari |
|||
* solomonari_hr |
|||
* cotrh |
|||
* cotrh_hr |
|||
* moderator |
|||
* maintainer |
|||
* interface-admin |
|||
* sysop |
|||
=== Bots === |
|||
Bots are automated or semi-automated accounts with raised limits for bulk editing and maintenance work. Bot access is granted manually when appropriate. |
|||
== Practical summary == |
|||
* Want to read the wiki: no account needed. |
|||
* Want to discuss or maintain your own account/user pages: a normal registered account is enough. |
|||
* Want to edit articles, files, and core content: you need the verified group. |
|||
* Want access to the Solomonari namespace: you need the <code>solomonari</code> group. |
|||
* Want access to the CotRH namespace: you need the <code>cotrh</code> group. |
|||
* Want access to specially page-locked high-restriction pages: you need the matching <code>solomonari_hr</code> or <code>cotrh_hr</code> group. |
|||
* Want to moderate contributors and review content workflow: moderator. |
|||
* Want to maintain templates, forms, and higher-trust wiki operations: maintainer. |
|||
* Want to edit sitewide interface code: interface administrator. |

Most of the wiki is publicly readable. Gatekeep and its talk namespace are private. Editing depends on your groups, the namespace and any page protection. View the complete permissions list.
Roles
Moderator includes verified permissions; maintainer includes moderator permissions; sysop includes maintainer permissions. Other groups are separate, and their rights combine with your existing groups.
| Role | Main permissions |
|---|---|
| Registered member | Create/edit public talk pages and edit existing unprotected user pages, including your own CSS/JS/JSON. No article editing, regular page creation, uploads or moves. |
| Verified member | Edit public content, create pages, upload/reupload local files and move pages/files. |
| Moderator | Patrol edits, roll back changes and assign contributor/namespace groups. |
| Maintainer | Protect pages, block users, maintain templates/forms and use advanced maintenance tools. |
Administrator (sysop)
|
Site administration, including deletion and Gatekeep access. Site CSS/JS still requires interface-admin. |
| Interface administrator | Edit interface messages, Lua modules, site CSS/JS/JSON and other users’ CSS/JS/JSON. |
| Bureaucrat | Manage all user groups. This group alone does not grant Gatekeep access. |
| Bot | Automation privileges and higher API limits. Content editing, uploads and private access need the relevant additional groups. |
Namespace access
Public talk pages generally allow registered editors. The table covers the named content namespaces; both Gatekeep namespaces are restricted.
| Namespace | Who can edit |
|---|---|
| Main, Project, File, Help, Category | Verified members, moderators, maintainers and sysops. |
| Solomonari | The solomonari group, maintainers or sysops.
|
| CotRH | The cotrh group, maintainers or sysops.
|
| Template, Form | Maintainers or sysops. |
| Module, MediaWiki | Interface administrators or sysops. Site CSS/JS also needs interface-admin. |
| Gatekeep, Gatekeep_talk | Only gatekeep members or sysops can read, create and edit here.
|
Creating pages: new non-talk pages require page-creation permission, provided by verified, moderator, maintainer or sysop. Solomonari and CotRH flags alone allow editing existing pages, not creating new ones. Gatekeep grants creation in its workspace.
HR protection: solomonari_hr and cotrh_hr unlock individually protected pages. Editing those pages in the matching namespace needs both the base and HR flag, or maintainer/sysop permissions. HR protection does not make pages private.
Gatekeep
The private workspace is for lore drafts and work in progress. Only gatekeep and sysop can read it; other roles do not automatically grant access.
- Create drafts as
Gatekeep:Your draft; useGatekeep_talk:for discussion. - Use the standard wiki editor. Page Forms and private-page preloads are unavailable. To search drafts, select the Gatekeep namespace.
- Private pages cannot be included in other pages. Cargo exports and Discord activity messages are disabled.
- Titles, authors, timestamps and edit summaries may remain public. Uploaded files remain public. Keep sensitive details out of this metadata. Categories do not make pages private; moving previously public material cannot recall published copies.
Assigning groups
Authorized staff manage membership through Special:UserRights.
| Group manager | Can grant or remove |
|---|---|
| Moderator | Verified, Solomonari, CotRH and their HR groups. |
| Maintainer | The moderator’s list, plus moderator. |
| Solomonari_HR / CotRH_HR | The matching base group: solomonari / cotrh. |
| Sysop | Gatekeep. |
| Bureaucrat | All groups. |
Protection and security
Page protection and account blocks can restrict editing further. The Main Page has cascading protection: it needs maintainer/sysop permissions, and included pages may inherit that protection.
Two-factor authentication is configured as required for moderator, maintainer, interface-admin and sysop. For access problems, check your groups and the page’s protection, then ask staff through Discord.
