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).
