Is there any way to check my user access level?
I need to know is there is an official (or 3rd party) way to check to see what my UAL is. Thanks. ππππ ππ π’πππΉππΆπ (talk) 20:47, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
- Read the page. There's a box that says:
Click the link. Meters (talk) 22:31, 17 October 2023 (UTC)To find the permissions for your account, go to Special:Preferences. Your permissions are listed in the user profile tab under "Member of groups". - Another way is "View user groups" link in the Tools sidebar (on the right in desktop skin Vector 2022). This link is available on all user pages, including your user page and your contributions page. The link leads to Special:UserRights with the username, e.g. Special:UserRights/CooperGoodman. ββ andrybak (talk) 10:59, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

User groups display at sections "Autoconfirmed and confirmed users" and "Extended confirmed users"
Hello, I have seen that the boxes in the aforementioned sections say that "You are not logged in, so you are not autoconfirmed" and "You are not logged in, so you are not extended confirmed". I checked the wikicode and it is supposed to show that I am extended-confirmed and autoconfirmed if I am logged in, and I am logged in to my account. Can anyone help fix this? 2003 LN6 15:55, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
Grouping admins with extended confirmed editors
Templates like {{If extended confirmed}} currently display the non-extended-confirmed option to admins, which, while technically true, is not optimal given that de facto admins will generally find the extended-confirmed text more applicable in applications like {{Current event editnotice}}. Is there any way to fix this? Sdkbβ―talk 15:16, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- There's a
class="extendedconfirmed-show"in the template; I'm genuinely not familiar enough with classes on Wikipedia to know if/where we pop in aclass="sysop-show"to also show it for admins, but that's my immediate thought as how to "fix" this issue and avoid the need to have things like the monstrosity at WP:XCON. Primefac (talk) 21:12, 26 March 2024 (UTC)- That's the route, you can have multiple classes on an element. β xaosflux Talk 21:23, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- Ah, I'm remembering what happened. We'd also need to use the correlating classes for the non-extended confirmed and non-admin groups to get this working with
{{If extended confirmed}}'s second parameter. And when we previously tried to add the non-admin class, it didn't go through. Sdkbβ―talk 21:25, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
Update the number of autoconfirmed users
It says "As of July 2021, there were approximately 2.1 million autoconfirmed users on the English Wikipedia, of which the vast majority were inactive."
This figure is nearly 3 years out of date. Is there any way to check how many autoconfirmed users there are?

- that's a good point. i'm not seeing a simple way to get that figure (it seems that either because mediawiki does that role by itself or because it's such a large number. it doesn't show up in any of the normal places). I'm going to go ahead and submit a database request over at Wikipedia:Request a queryand see if I can get that info. I don't think it's something we'd use enough to warrant adding to Wikipedia:Database reports. Tantomile (talk) 04:24, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- ok i've been poking around and i *think* i've managed to request that they rerun the database query that got that 2.1 million number. quarry:query/82150 Tantomile (talk) 04:36, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
