Uuuh I don't know if there is, but we could tell you about it. =)

Authenticated users are users who are notable or famous IRL for some reason, maybe they represent a game designer or developer, maybe they're a famous musician. Obviously you'd have a lot of users suspect the validity of their claims, so Authenticated means that the user has been verified by Wikia Staff as legitimately being that important person.
