| I'm not entirely sure how your community operates, but from one wiki veteran, I can tell you that restricting page creation to autoconfirmed users is not the best idea. Yes, it prevents spammers, but it also creates problems. | | I'm not entirely sure how your community operates, but from one wiki veteran, I can tell you that restricting page creation to auto confirmed users is not the best idea.

| Also, this prevents new users from creating their own profile pages.

| Wouldn't be better if users could become autoconfirmed by making a certain amount of edits, instead of just waiting a week. I mean, a vandal can just make an account, wait a few days, and create spam articles. Also, if a user wants to create their own userpage, this would have to work hard and earn ability to create one. {{User:Fawfulfury65/sig}} | | Wouldn't be better if users could become auto confirmed by making a certain amount of edits, instead of just waiting a week.

| We should add info from Wikipedia, like when you was banned at least once you will never get autoconfirm status again. {{User:SWFlash/Sig}}

| |
|
| |
| == Uh... ==
| |
| If autoconfirmed means being a user of the wiki for four days and making at least five edits to create your userpage, how do some people create their userpage with less than five edits? [[User:Mari0fan100|Mari0fan100]] ([[User talk:Mari0fan100|talk]]) 22:41, 23 January 2019 (EST)
| |
|
| |
| :They can't. Can you give an example? {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:43, 23 January 2019 (EST)
| |
|
| |
| ::Yes. {{User|Lady Daisy}} made two edits to his userpage despite not making five edits. [[User:Mari0fan100|Mari0fan100]] ([[User talk:Mari0fan100|talk]]) 23:01, 23 January 2019 (EST)

| :::This was in 2008. The autoconfirmed system was established in 2007 but the page creation restriction didn't come about until 2009, according to the page. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 23:07, 23 January 2019 (EST)

| ::::Oh. Ok, that makes sense. [[User:Mari0fan100|Mari0fan100]] ([[User talk:Mari0fan100|talk]]) 23:10, 23 January 2019 (EST)
| |
|
| |
| == Another Question ==
| |
| Is the autoconfirmation process made so users don't make excessive userspace/userpage edits? Sounds like a possibility. [[User:Mari0fan100|Mari0fan100]] ([[User talk:Mari0fan100|talk]]) 15:13, 3 March 2019 (EST)
| |
| :Autoconfirmation doesn't restrict userspace edits. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:07, 3 March 2019 (EST)
| |
| ::Sorry for the long wait, but I was asking that question since [[User:Mikeiteq]] was making about 110 edits to his userpage after becoming autoconfirmed and making seven edits in the mainspace. [[User:Mari0fan100|Mari0fan100]] ([[User talk:Mari0fan100|talk]]) 00:59, March 24, 2019 (EDT)

| |
| == Reverse autoconfirmation ==
| |
|
| |
| I have waited for two weeks (just to be sure I'm autoconfirmed). After that, I've done 2 edits: one on this page and the other on [[Talk: Paper Mario: Color Splash]]. Does it still count to the autoconfirmation process? [[User:Eleven23|Eleven23]] ([[User talk:Eleven23|talk]]) 23:53, March 23, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| :Any edit counts toward the autoconfirmation process. There are settings that keep userspace edits out of it, but I don't think we have those installed. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 23:59, March 23, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| ::As in instead of editing 10 times then waiting 1 week but vice versa as an option for the autoconfirmation process. [[User:Eleven23|Eleven23]] ([[User talk:Eleven23|talk]]) 00:04, March 24, 2019 (EDT)

| == Not autoconfirmed yet? ==

| It has been 8 days and I am still not autoconfirmed, it says I have made 44 edits, whats going on? [[User:PROPLAYEN|PROPLAYEN]] ([[User talk:PROPLAYEN|talk]]) 21:56, August 8, 2020 (EDT)
| |
|
| |
| :It's been just over 6 days and 23 hours actually, you have an hour left. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:01, August 8, 2020 (EDT)
| |
|
| |
| == I'm not autoconfirmed yet, but can I edit game/character pages? ==
| |
|
| |
| I don't know if I can do this, maybe I just didn't read the page well enough? I just made an account yesterday, and so far I've only edited talk pages, as per the rules on this page. There were a couple things I wanted to add to some pages (if people reply to say that I can on the talk pages I posted on). I'm not going to upload images or anything of that sort (I don't know how to anyway). Am I allowed to edit regular pages, or do I have to wait until I'm autoconfirmed?

| :You're definitely allowed to edit regular pages as long as they're not protected. But the page will prevent you from editing it anyway so don't worry about that. {{User:Ray Trace/sig}} 00:45, November 13, 2023 (EST)

| |
| == Small FYI (in case this isn't known) ==
| |
|
| |
| I just wanted to add a note here to let you know that the requirements for becoming autoconfirmed will count your account's ''total number of edits'' - including edits that were made to pages that became [[SMW:DEL|deleted]] afterwards. I'm not sure of the level of knowledge and experience that most users have with the MediaWiki software, but I'll be happy to answer questions if anyone comes up with any. :-) Too-da-loo!
