User rights

Revision as of 17:43, 28 June 2022 by Yug (talk | contribs) (→‎See also)

Each wiki has built-in groups such as users, autopatrolled, admin, etc, which have specific user rights allowing actions associated with a ratelimit defining the number of times this action is allowed within a time period. Lingua Libre is mainly a Wiki for documentation via textual edits together with a client-side audio recording app which sends audios directly from your browser to Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia Commons serves as the storage website via its programmatic API and is the actual limiting element in our audios uploading chain. If user rights are an issue, it is likely the case on Wikimedia Commons given the uploader's account and its associated user rights on Commons. Below are some elements to better understand your proper situation.
