This article is dedicated to helping new users understand how to set up a user account and how the different permissions work in this wiki.

Setting up a new user account

Currently, this wiki requires users to create or login to their account to create or edit pages, which is why most users would want to make an account here.

Creating the account

  1. Go to the underlined text that says "Create account" or the text that says "Log in".
  2. If you clicked "Create account", simply fill out the required boxes with the relevant information, and fill out the optional boxes if you wish. If you clicked "Log in", click "Join DisNCord community wiki" and then fill out the steps above.
  3. After this, fill out the bot protection at the bottom, and click "Create account".

You now have an account, and should automatically be logged into it.

Verifying your email address

Note: You only need to do this step if you have specified an email when you were creating your account.

  1. Check the inbox of the email address you specififed.
  2. You should have an email from 'noreply@restless.systems' asking if it was you who added your email to the account you made.
  3. Click the first link on the page, as it will tell the server that it was you who added your email to that account.

Your account should now be fully activated and ready for use.

User permissions

There are several different "groups" that are in this server that give you various permissions in the wiki.

Administrators: These are users which are in charge of moderation and general upkeep of the wiki. Some bots are also in this group as they need admin features to do their task(s).

Bots: These are robots that are designed for automatic monitoring of the wiki, among other things. Currently, there are only 2 bots: 'Abuse filter' and '⧼abusefilter-blocker⧽'.

Bureaucrats: These are users that can set permissions for other users. Administrators will usually have this.

Check user: These users have the ability to see the IP logs on the wiki.

Interface administrator: Interface administrators can change the CSS and JS of the wiki. These users are considered administrators.

Suppressors: These users have the ability to hide or delete unwanted log entries.

uploadaccess: These are users which have the ability to upload images to this wiki using this link. You can request this permission by opening a ticket on Discord.

You can find a list of users that have a specified group here.
