TestWiki:Autoconfirmed users

Autoconfirmed users is a user group that is automatically assigned by the mw>mw:MediaWiki|MediaWiki software to any user account that is at least four (4) days old and has made at least ten (10) edits. It cannot be assigned manually via ur>Special:UserRights|Special:UserRights and promotions to this user group are not logged. Only the abuse>User:Abuse filter|abuse filter user can revoke acu>TestWiki:Autoconfirmed users|autoconfirmed rights, and only then in exceptional cases.

As a result of a meta>mh:meta|Miraheze-specific phab>phab:T5940|MediaWiki configuration issue having to do with user>TestWiki:Users|users who were previously either an autop>TestWiki:Autopatrolled|autopatrolled user or an admin>TestWiki:Administrators|administrator and subsequently lost that user group saw their edits made while they were a member of either of those user groups became unpatrolled, which thus created an unneeded patrol backlog, a diff>Special:Diff/27347|community proposal was launched by an active bc>TestWiki:Bureaucrats|bureaucrat to add the  user group right to the acu>TestWiki:Autoconfirmed users|autoconfirmed user group indefinitely. It was added indefinitely for two reasons, namely that (a) there was no known date for when the configuration issue/software bug would be fixed and (b) any users>TestWiki:Users|registered user who is logged in can request sysop>TestWiki:Administrators|administrator tools.

The following are the user rights included within the acu>TestWiki:Autoconfirmed users|autoconfirmed user group:
