Newly registered user
From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
A newly registered user is a user who has signed up for an account and has logged in to a Wikimedia project. In addition to what an anonymous user can do, a newly registered user can:
- create new articles
- set preferences
- register pages for "watching"
- upload files such as pictures, sounds, etc.
- mark edits as Minor
- create their own user page
- Move root user pages
- Use of the write API
The full list of rights for all levels is available at Special:ListGroupRights.
All edits made as a newly registered user will show the user name in the history instead of an IP address.
Newly registered users cannot edit semi-protected pages or move any page. Several other minor restrictions, depending on the wiki, may apply to newly-registered users (per bugzilla:12556, media uploads are an autoconfirmed right on most wikis, Commons being a notable exception).
As of June 12, 2008, the autoconfirmed limits on the majority of wikis is four days with no edit count requirement. ar.wiki, en.wiki, and es.wiki have a minimum number of edits to reach autoconfirmed status. de.wikibooks requires seven days to reach autoconfirmed status.
