500 edits to become extended-confirmed is too much for a 1 month user, I propose to make the minimum number of edits to be reduced to 300 edits. – User 45 65 41 13:58, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
The section appears to discuss/explain both autoconfirmation and confirmation, but then proceeds to discuss/explain autoconfirmation exclusively.
Please edit the article to answer the following questions: what is the Confirm access level, how does it differ from Autoconfirm? When and how do you get Confirmed, as opposed to autoconfirmed by the software?

In some situations, it is necessary for accounts to be exempted from the customary confirmation period. The 'confirmed' group contains the exact same rights as the 'autoconfirmed' pseudo-group, but can be granted by administrators and event coordinators[2] as necessary. It is redundant to grant the confirmed right to an account that is already autoconfirmed, since it provides the exact same abilities. To request this permission, see Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Confirmed. See Special:ListUsers/confirmed for a list of the 543 confirmed users.~ Amory ( u • t • c) 14:51, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
During a joke edit war that occurred on April Fools’ Day, I earned the extended confirmed right for reaching 500 edits. This edit war was over the title of a section of Wikipedia:April Fools/April Fools' Day 2019, and resulted in over 100 edits being made by those who participated. This has made me want to ask: Should edits be counted towards Autoconfirmed and/or Extended Confirmed if said edits are made to the same section of an article within a given timeframe?

I cant see there something? If i press this Special:UserRights/Sandra617 i see just noting. Why there is no option witch just shows me what wikipedia all the time does? As far as i understand it - this is been tracked and checked all the time? So why i cant see the results of this check anywhere?

Wiki got the information. Why it dont show it? I dont get it? Sandra617 ( talk) 14:08, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
Ok but 1 why not? here they say you need 4 days and 10 edits to go to next level. i got more? so why not? 2 why so complicate? like i said. Its checked all the time automatic? So why it doesnt show me the result of this check - for example on my user site and just print there. You are registered user - next level is autoconfirmed user. You need 3 more days and 9 more edits to get it. Sounds very usefull and very simple to me. Because it is checked anyway all time in background. So why not just show it?

Johan (WMF) has indicated that mandatory masking of the IP addresses of anonymous editors is being implemented for all Wikiprojects in the near-mid term (probably sometime in the next year or so), stating that this is an order from the WikiMedia Foundation's Legal Department. Apparently a statement from the Legal Department is forthcoming. As this is likely to hinder anti-vandalism efforts in the near-term, feedback is being requested to make this cause the least amount of disruption possible. Hemiauchenia ( talk) 22:40, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
I' wondering if we couldn't add something, possibly here and at WP:PERM, asking admins to leave a brief, clear description of what changes they made. I often see changes in those logs wherein the user has numerous rights, and for whatever reason the system lists them all for each change. Here is an anonymized example of why I feel this is an issue:
"<admin name>changed group membership for <user> from account creator, autopatrolled, epcampus, eponline, extended confirmed user, page mover, file mover, IP block exempt, pending changes reviewer, rollbacker and template editor to account creator, autopatrolled, epcampus, eponline, extended confirmed user, page mover, file mover, IP block exempt, pending changes reviewer, rollbacker, template editor and new page reviewer (Per request.) "
So, all the admin in this case wrote in the log summary was "Per request." It is so much easier to pinpoint exactly what was done if the admin leaves a descriptive summary, something as simple as "+rollback" is sufficient. While added rights are usually at the end of the second list, if one has removed a user right without leaving a description the only option the next person to view that log has is to stare at both lists until they can parse out what's missing from the second one, when just taking 2 seconds to write "-autopatrol" would solve it. I don't think this is malicious, or even lazy, it's just that those who don't spend a whole lot of time doing user rights work may not have it in the front of their mind how the log renders changes.

When I noticed that The Signpost had an 'edit' button, I had an idea, but I doubt it will be taken seriously. What if we make a new User group, called reporters, or journalists, and make it so that only they can edit The Signpost? I know it's kind of far-fetched, and this is probably not the right place to propose this, but please consider my idea.

By “author page” I did not mean like my website or other platforms. If you type in almost any authors name you find an “article” about them. I was only wanting to have that type of “article” for myself since Wiki is one of the major platforms google uses for its analytics. I don’t understand how to do it, so I will simply drop the idea because wiki is not easily navigable. And I don’t have the time to waste.

I see that Jimbo has the user right WP:Founder, whereas Larry Sanger is just a listed as a regular extended confirmed user.
I think for the historical record, we may wish to consider granting Sanger with the same WP:Founder user right. Or maybe rename the right/permission to "co-founder" and then grant it to both Sanger and Jimbo at the same time? It looks like Sanger hasn't had any activity since 2019, but I'd be curious to see what the community thinks about this. ♥ Th78blue ( talk)♥ 16:16, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

Given that this article displays real account information to logged-in users (with indicators such as "Your account is autoconfirmed", "Your account is extended autoconfirmed", etc... showing up alongside the corresponding descriptions), is it really helpful to display a sample of the "YOU ARE NOT LOGGED IN" banner so prominently?
How do we communicate to the reader that they should disregard that information, but take the other information on the page seriously? (And what real purpose does it serve to give a sample of the not-logged-in banner, anyway? If someone wants to see it, they can always just log out and edit a page.

I think I've just reached 500 edits (at least per xtool's edit counter) but have apparently not (yet) been granted extended autoconfirmed level. I was wondering which edits are counted: of the 500 edits, 15 have been deleted, so there are only 485 live edits. What's the rough latency between reaching 500 edits and the permissions being granted? Minutes, hours, days? I'm asking here on the talk page as the article does not seem to cover this. AncientWalrus ( talk) 12:21, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
It is unclear from the description whether extended confirmed counts for all accounts liked together, or just the account for a particular wiki. It is also unclear whether 500 edits total or 500 edits on a particular wiki are what give extended confirmed.

Can i see anywhere whats my level and what is missed to next level? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sandra617 ( talk • contribs) 11:17, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
I cant see there something? If i press this Special:UserRights/Sandra617 i see just noting. Why there is no option witch just shows me what wikipedia all the time does? As far as i understand it - this is been tracked and checked all the time? So why i cant see the results of this check anywhere? Like Your User Level Registered (new) next level is Autoconfirmed xy is missing (for example 4 edits).
Wiki got the information. Why it dont show it? I dont get it? Sandra617 ( talk) 14:08, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
Ok but 1 why not? here they say you need 4 days and 10 edits to go to next level. i got more? so why not? 2 why so complicate? like i said. Its checked all the time automatic? So why it doesnt show me the result of this check - for example on my user site and just print there. You are registered user - next level is autoconfirmed user. You need 3 more days and 9 more edits to get it. Sounds very usefull and very simple to me. Because it is checked anyway all time in background. So why not just show it?

"Several actions on the English Wikipedia are restricted to user accounts that are at least 4 days old and have made at least 10 edits to the encyclopedia." really should be "Several actions on the English Wikipedia are restricted to user accounts until they are at least 4 days old and have made at least 10 edits to the encyclopedia."

From what I heard, being extended confirmed requires 500 edits, but does that mean 500 edits, or 500 Article

Johan (WMF) has indicated that mandatory masking of the IP addresses of anonymous editors is being implemented for all Wikiprojects in the near-mid term (probably sometime in the next year or so), stating that this is an order from the WikiMedia Foundation's Legal Department. Apparently a statement from the Legal Department is forthcoming. As this is likely to hinder anti-vandalism efforts in the near-term, feedback is being requested to make this cause the least amount of disruption possible.

I' wondering if we couldn't add something, possibly here and at WP:PERM, asking admins to leave a brief, clear description of what changes they made. I often see changes in those logs wherein the user has numerous rights, and for whatever reason the system lists them all for each change. Here is an anonymized example of why I feel this is an issue:
"<admin name>changed group membership for <user> from account creator, autopatrolled, epcampus, eponline, extended confirmed user, page mover, file mover, IP block exempt, pending changes reviewer, rollbacker and template editor to account creator, autopatrolled, epcampus, eponline, extended confirmed user, page mover, file mover, IP block exempt, pending changes reviewer, rollbacker, template editor and new page reviewer (Per request.) "
So, all the admin in this case wrote in the log summary was "Per request." It is so much easier to pinpoint exactly what was done if the admin leaves a descriptive summary, something as simple as "+rollback" is sufficient. While added rights are usually at the end of the second list, if one has removed a user right without leaving a description the only option the next person to view that log has is to stare at both lists until they can parse out what's missing from the second one, when just taking 2 seconds to write "-autopatrol" would solve it. I don't think this is malicious, or even lazy, it's just that those who don't spend a whole lot of time doing user rights work may not have it in the front of their mind how the log renders changes.

When I noticed that The Signpost had an 'edit' button, I had an idea, but I doubt it will be taken seriously. What if we make a new User group, called reporters, or journalists, and make it so that only they can edit The Signpost? I know it's kind of far-fetched, and this is probably not the right place to propose this, but please consider my idea.

By “author page” I did not mean like my website or other platforms. If you type in almost any authors name you find an “article” about them. I was only wanting to have that type of “article” for myself since Wiki is one of the major platforms google uses for its analytics. I don’t understand how to do it, so I will simply drop the idea because wiki is not easily navigable. And I don’t have the time to waste. I’m busy writing three new novels, a short story for an anthology and promoting my latest novel. 2601:243:C000:FEF0:75D0:B1A6:E23C:837E ( talk) 12:24, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
1. I read somewhere that extended confirmed users don't have to have their new articles patrolled before they're visible to search engines. Is this true? If so, it should be added to the section.

This user did a huge number of minor selfreverted edits and nothing else useful.
I think his user user level must be demoted and the algorithm of the bot must be reviewed. It this way anyone can rake thousands of edits by simply inserting a space into pages and become a respectable user. Loew Galitz ( talk) 04:45, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Just a random thought on a cloudy day where I live, so please do not take this harshly if in fact anyone has passionate feelings about it one way or the other.
I see that Jimbo has the user right WP:Founder, whereas Larry Sanger is just a listed as a regular extended confirmed user.
I think for the historical record, we may wish to consider granting Sanger with the same WP:Founder user right. Or maybe rename the right/permission to "co-founder" and then grant it to both Sanger and Jimbo at the same time? It looks like Sanger hasn't had any activity since 2019, but I'd be curious to see what the community thinks about this. ♥ Th78blue ( talk)♥ 16:16, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

In the section "IP block exemption" it says:
"If known, an administrator is also free to grant the right to affected good-faith editors without waiting for an unblock request."
This is badly worded. Literally it refers to "an administrator who is known". I assume it means
"An administrator who knows an affected good-faith editor is also free to grant the right to that editor without waiting for an unblock request."
and request it be changed. Thanks. 220.253.118.126 ( talk) 14:42, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi I am in the process of creating a new wikipedia page about a company called FOSSA Systems. I need assistance from an autoconfirmed user to help me upload 4 images for this article. Could I email them to you and then you would upload them here? I am not sure exactly how it works, I guess you would upload the images after it is posted and in the visual editor you would put "insert" and select "media".

can it be updated? TempAccount187 ( talk) 11:20, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
Given that this article displays real account information to logged-in users (with indicators such as "Your account is autoconfirmed", "Your account is extended autoconfirmed", etc... showing up alongside the corresponding descriptions), is it really helpful to display a sample of the "YOU ARE NOT LOGGED IN" banner so prominently?
How do we communicate to the reader that they should disregard that information, but take the other information on the page seriously? (And what real purpose does it serve to give a sample of the not-logged-in banner, anyway? If someone wants to see it, they can always just log out and edit a page. Or, we could link to MediaWiki:Anoneditwarning, instead of displaying it.) FeRDNYC ( talk) 21:56, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
I think I've just reached 500 edits (at least per xtool's edit counter) but have apparently not (yet) been granted extended autoconfirmed level. I was wondering which edits are counted: of the 500 edits, 15 have been deleted, so there are only 485 live edits. What's the rough latency between reaching 500 edits and the permissions being granted? Minutes, hours, days? I'm asking here on the talk page as the article does not seem to cover this. AncientWalrus ( talk) 12:21, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
It is unclear from the description whether extended confirmed counts for all accounts liked together, or just the account for a particular wiki. It is also unclear whether 500 edits total or 500 edits on a particular wiki are what give extended confirmed.
