Manual talk:User rights

Special:Userrights is limited to only Stewards, which includes only two users. Shouldn't that link be open to everybody?


 * Heck no. -- Sayuri 16:45, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
 * To Anonymous poster: That page serves only one purpose, to (un)assign user groups to users. If it's open to everybody, anybody could assign themselves sysop access. --Egingell 04:28, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

User rights names
Am I limited only to the names "sysop", "bot" and "bureaucrat" or can i make a new one? --Gerard armando 02:09, 20 October 2007 (UTC)


 * You can make a new one; Help:User rights gives an example of this by creating a "ninja" group. — Pathoschild 18:58:41, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Discussion Pages
I'm setting up a wiki so that registered user cannot edit pages, but would like them to be able to use the discussion page. Is that possible? 216.226.42.234 14:41, 24 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Not currently, though it would be easy to add that feature if a developer chose to do so. — Pathoschild 06:07:29, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

User Editing Rights for just one page
I'm setting up a wiki where registered users can only edit their own page. How do you do that?
