Correct, that's why I said, "If a Wiki has the Special page Special:Community," though perhaps I should have been more overt with my phrasing there. 'Twas also why I went more in-depth with Special:ListUsers.

As for "It has to be requested," I was about to reply, "Huh, I seem to recall it was enabled on Baccano! and Durarara!! Wiki by default once it made its debut, I don't recall requesting it..."

...but then I remembered it was only enabled "across the top 5000 communities on Wikia!" Silly. It's not as if I'm not aware less popular wikis don't have them by default (I have founded three unpopular wikis so I am acutely aware, hah; I still haven't developed their Community Portals), hence my opening "if a wiki..." line, but I do admit that submitting a request for Special:Community to be enabled on a less-trafficked wiki hadn't occurred to me as a course of action.

Also, UCP wikis have a completely different version Special:ListUsers [sic]...

Ooh, oh my, I see what you mean. I've linked to a poor example for Wiki Manager demonstration since Wreckit-Woodhouse certainly lacks one, but still--so that's what Special:ListUsers looks like UCP-side. (This is a reminder I really should check out more Special Pages on that UCP Wiki; most of my UCP experimentation has been editor-side so far).

Worth noting that "Show only users with edits" isn't checked by default, so I suppose that's something. The lack of specification for that filter--i.e. no way to filter by edit count a la 'legacy' "five edits or less" style--however, is...the opposite of something. It's a glaring lacuna, now that I've noticed it. Actually, I take back what I've just wrote about the "show only users with edits" filter being something. Strike that. Reverse it.

Edit: Ha. My remark about Baccano! Wiki's Special:Community 'Wiki Manager' module (or lack thereof) being potentially bugged becomes more amusing in light of my comment on the Technical Update for June 29, 2016; back then, I was submitting bug reports for the 'Top Contributors' module being bugged on B! Wiki's Special:Community page. Nearly four years later and whaddaya know, some things don't change...
