Is there any way to check my user access level?
I need to know is there is an official (or 3rd party) way to check to see what my UAL is. Thanks. 𝒞𝑜𝑜𝓅𝑒𝓇 𝒢𝑜𝑜𝒹𝓂𝒶𝓃 (talk) 20:47, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
- Read the page. There's a box that says:
Click the link. Meters (talk) 22:31, 17 October 2023 (UTC)To find the permissions for your account, go to Special:Preferences. Your permissions are listed in the user profile tab under "Member of groups". - Another way is "View user groups" link in the Tools sidebar (on the right in desktop skin Vector 2022). This link is available on all user pages, including your user page and your contributions page. The link leads to Special:UserRights with the username, e.g. Special:UserRights/CooperGoodman. —andrybak (talk) 10:59, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Grouping admins with extended confirmed editors
Templates like {{If extended confirmed}} currently display the non-extended-confirmed option to admins, which, while technically true, is not optimal given that de facto admins will generally find the extended-confirmed text more applicable in applications like {{Current event editnotice}}. Is there any way to fix this? Sdkb talk 15:16, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- There's a
class="extendedconfirmed-show"
in the template; I'm genuinely not familiar enough with classes on Wikipedia to know if/where we pop in aclass="sysop-show"
to also show it for admins, but that's my immediate thought as how to "fix" this issue and avoid the need to have things like the monstrosity at WP:XCON. Primefac (talk) 21:12, 26 March 2024 (UTC)- That's the route, you can have multiple classes on an element. — xaosflux Talk 21:23, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- Ah, I'm remembering what happened. We'd also need to use the correlating classes for the non-extended confirmed and non-admin groups to get this working with
{{If extended confirmed}}
's second parameter. And when we previously tried to add the non-admin class, it didn't go through. Sdkb talk 21:25, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
Update the number of autoconfirmed users
It says "As of July 2021, there were approximately 2.1 million autoconfirmed users on the English Wikipedia, of which the vast majority were inactive."
This figure is nearly 3 years out of date. Is there any way to check how many autoconfirmed users there are?

- that's a good point. i'm not seeing a simple way to get that figure (it seems that either because mediawiki does that role by itself or because it's such a large number. it doesn't show up in any of the normal places). I'm going to go ahead and submit a database request over at Wikipedia:Request a queryand see if I can get that info. I don't think it's something we'd use enough to warrant adding to Wikipedia:Database reports. Tantomile (talk) 04:24, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- ok i've been poking around and i *think* i've managed to request that they rerun the database query that got that 2.1 million number. quarry:query/82150 Tantomile (talk) 04:36, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- ok. the number is:
2381282

“If Admin” not functioning
To non admins, the box that shows if your an admin or not under the administrator section shows “Your account is .” Lordseriouspig 10:07, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Looks like it's working fine to me. Try again, maybe on a different browser? Primefac (talk) 11:48, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Same issue for me (as a non-admin); the doc on Template:If administrator states that "It is not currently possible to display text only for non-administrators", and the second parameter used on the page is unimplemented, so pending technical changes the box probably needs to be reworked or removed Quadrantal (talk) 06:21, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
