Hi, this is Really Useful Hedgehog 2 and I have a question about accounts, what do the users do to get autoconfirmed. do they had to add categories to articles because when you create a new account, a pop up says it's your accounts to be weeks old before you could do anything if you try to make a post or something.... that why I have a question, WHAT THE HECK ARE NON-AUTOCOMFIRMED USERS SUPOSED TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Autoconfirmed is giving automatically when an account is 96 hours (four days) old, so it's not like you have to wait multiple weeks or anything.
As long as a user is already emailconfirmed, this is what they can do AFTER they become autoconfirmed:
  • They can edit semi-protected pages.
  • They can move pages without leaving redirects.
  • They can create article and blog comments.

What I mean BoHere, is what are non-autoconfirmed users supposed to do on the website...

Sorry, your title also included what an account has to do to become autoconfirmed; or at least, that how I interpreted it.
Anyway, if you mean what a non-autoconfirmed user is supposed to on Fandom, the answer is: whatever is in their ability, so long as they're following Fandom's ToU and the local rules wiki-to-wiki. They can still edit most pages, and can contribute to wiki's mostly effectively, in the four days before they become autoconfirmed.

What I mean what FANDOM intended them to do....

Alright, let me get this straight: Are you asking why Fandom has autoconfirmed permissions set up/why does Fandom want users to be autoconfirmed? (If that's the question you are asking, than I'm not really sure of the answer *there could be many reasons*, although you could ask support about it).
