Autopatrolled[edit]

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:

Sysop[edit]

Because of your edits to and time on the wiki, wizard Sysop has been added to your user rights. Feel free to let your newfound POWER course through your veins. Once the high wears off, see RationalWiki:Sysop guide for more information. If you have questions, bleat ask away. Carthage (talk) 11:41, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Protection[edit]

Perma-protecting mainspace pages should be dome in very rare circumstances and only when shorter periods of protection have repeatedly failed. Even if a page is targeted by a recurring vandal like EiK try weeks or months protection before perma. Plutocow (talk) 18:09, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

@Plutocow I did it on some pages after reverting edits by vandals in order protect them from vandalism. I consider short period vandalism inefficient because I think vandals will come back as soon as the protection expires. RationalThinker (talk) 20:01, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
Vandals will eventually get bored though. We don't want to block off good-faith contibuters. Besides, if we locked every page that was vandalized that would pretty much be 90% of the wiki. Plutocow (talk) 21:49, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

When creating AfDs[edit]

Remember to update RW:Articles for deletion/log each time. Also, you probably don't need to AfD a bunch of similar articles at once, you can pick one and start a discussion on all of them in said AfD. Plutocow (talk) 16:05, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
