@Ottoman Hold: Patrollers is not a default user group on Wikia. This is usually a custom group that wiki's have requested, so Wikia has decided to create a default user group that everyone has the ability to make use of, so that wiki's don't need to make further requests. Like C.Syde65 said, some users can be trusted to delete and protect content, but not have the right to access more sensitive pages, like the MediaWiki namespace, editing community JS/CSS and blocking users: this group gives local sysops the ability to grant those tools without making them a sysop.
