Forum:What is autoconfirmed?

Reading this topic "Disabling upload for non-autoconfirmed", and seeing it on a wiki, I wanted to know how it works. I am wondering if it would be useful for my wiki, as I want Users to view the image policy before they upload. -- Bunai82 (talk) 03:17, January 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * Non-Auto confirmed is the IPs why may edits on that wiki. Hey, the salamanders quit singing. Hehe! 03:21, January 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * A user becomes autoconfirmed after a certain amount of edits or after a certain period of time, so you can tell them apart from one-time passerbys. See wikipedia:WP:Autoconfirmed. 03:23, January 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * Is this something I can control or only default by Wikia? edit Thanks for the reply. -- Bunai82 (talk) 03:26, January 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * It's all automatic. You have to be autoconfirmed to do certain things, like move pages or edit semi-protected pages. 03:30, January 27, 2012 (UTC)

Tagging FAQ. Seems like good info... probably should be in a help page. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 27 Jan 2012 6:29 PM Pacific
