已註冊用戶
已註冊用戶是指已經在維基媒體計劃站點中註冊帳號的使用者。相較於未註冊用戶，已註冊用戶可以：
- Create pages (which are not discussion pages)
- Edit your own preferences
- Edit your own watchlist (note that some actions will still add pages even without this right)
- Upload files
- Mark edits as minor
- Move pages
完整的使用者權利可以參閱User group rights。
所有已註冊用戶的修改紀錄將會以使用者名稱進行紀錄，而非使用者IP。
注册用户（除了管理员和维基媒体职员）不能编辑或移动受保护的页面。 新注册用户不能编辑半保护的页面或移动任何页面。其他一些小的限制，根据维基，可以适用于新注册用户（根据phabricator:T14556，在绝大多数wiki上，媒体上传是自动确认用户权限，共享资源是一个显著的例外）。
注册用户在维基共享资源包括受信任的用户。由于维基共享资源有很多Flickr图片并要求评审，以确保声称受版权保护的许可证是有效的，熟悉维基共享资源授权注册用户可申请成为受信任的用户，这是一个用户的子类上的共同性。目前下议院管理员不需要申请成为受信任的用户，因为他们已经有一个更高的用户比类的注册用户。
Autoconfirmed status
On MediaWiki, there is a pseudo-group called "autoconfirmed" to prevent new accounts from flooding a wiki with low quality or vandalism edits. After an account is a number of days old, or has performed a certain number of edits, the account is given the "autoconfirmed" flag. The thresholds are different for different wikis, though the default configuration is four days delay, with no minimum edit count requirement.
Examples of custom configurations:
- English Wikipedia - after four days and 10 edits
- Russian Wikipedia - after four days and 15 edits
- Italian Wikipedia - after seven days and 50 edits
As of December 2022, the longest waiting periods are 7 days (in de.wikibooks, it.wiki, no.wiki, wuu.wiki, and most zh.* wikis); and the highest edit count requirement is 50 edits (in ar.wiki, es.wiki, it.wiki, zh.wiki and wikidata), whereas the most common custom setting is 10 edits. For an up-to-date of the current settings, review the $wgAutoConfirmAge and $wgAutoConfirmCount arrays in WMF's InitializeSettings.php.
Some requests to increase such limits have been rejected in the past — see Limits to configuration changes.
