Autopatrolled

Because of your edits to and time on the wiki, Autopatrolled has been added to your user rights. This lets you bypass most of the abuse filters, bypass the CAPTCHA, and edit more frequently. If you have questions, bleat ask away.

We hope you enjoy your newfound POWER — and these external tools:

• Google Scholar Button ^{(Chrome, Firefox)} searches your highlighted text in Google Scholar. Easily check academic citations!
• web.archive.org and archive.today, among other tools, can save permanent copies of webpages. Never lose a crank website or racist Tweet ever again! Bongolian (talk) 04:38, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Archiving

Don't do this, it will be archived automatically in due time. There is literally no need to manually archive pages if they have an archive template. ☭Comrade GC☭^{Ministry of Praise} 23:49, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

You need to do this when you create articles about people

Say you've created an article about someone called Robert Brown. At the end of the wiki text, you should add this: {{DEFAULTSORT:Brown, Robert}}. That then means that the article is listed on category pages under B for Brown instead of under R for Robert. If you create an article about someone called François Calderón de Maraña, don't include accents in the defaultsort, like this: {{DEFAULTSORT:Calderon de Marana, Francois}}.
