There are seven kinds of users with access to additional tools on Nukapedia - interwiki users, chat moderators, patrollers, discussion/thread moderators, content moderators, administrators/system operators (sysop) and bureaucrats.
Contents
Descriptions
- Patrollers have the ability to roll back edits with one click and mark edits as patrolled.
- Interwiki users mainly or only add interwiki links. To avoid unnecessarily clogging of the patrol log, their edits are automatically patrolled.
- Chat moderators have the ability to ban users from Discord.
- Discussion/thread moderators have the ability to remove posts on the discussions board. Some also have chat moderation and patroller duties.
- Content moderators have access to the same tools as a patroller, and in addition can protect/delete articles and delete/rename files.
- Administrators/system operators have access to the same tools as a moderator, and in addition can delete pages, protect pages, and ban users from the wiki.
- Bureaucrats have access to the same tools as an administrator/system operator, and in addition can grant and revoke administrative rights.

User rights requests

Not everybody who meets the requirements will automatically become a special rights user, they are appointed on a per-need basis.

Making the request
If you meet the requirements above and want to become an administrator, content, chat or discussions moderator, then you need to start a thread in Forum:Wiki proposals and applications titled Chat Moderator Request – [your username] or Adminship Request - [your username]. In this thread, you should describe why you would like to become a moderator or admin and what your major contributions have been thus far.
For the position of discussions moderator or chat moderator, you also need – in addition to the edit (chat only) and activity requirement – an endorsement from an active administrator or chat moderator. This is as simple as having one of the aforementioned users openly support your prospect of applying and signing your application when it’s posted on the forum. An unsigned application for chat moderator will not be passed.
When your application has been posted, Nukapedia's community will be able to discuss whether or not you should be made moderator or admin over a timespan of at least one week (or more in case of controversy). All users who take part in any formal wiki vote are encouraged to post an at-least-basic rationale explaining why their vote was cast the way it is. In addition, administrators reserve the right to require voters' rationales for voting on certain polls, if and only if they feel a necessity. The final decision will be up to the bureaucrat(s) after the community has had its say.
In contrast to the other role requests, patroller rights do not require a community vote. If you wish to apply for patroller, and you meet the requirements, just write an application and leave it on a bureaucrat's or active admin's talk page (an admin granting the rights must backed by another admin/bc). They will then decide whether you have earned patroller rights or not. Bureaucrats are also allowed to give out patroller rights based on their own judgment and without users having to ask for them.
Voting eligibility
Requirements for those wishing to vote for the request are as followed:
- Users must have a registered account
- Users must have made at least one edit or discussions post prior to the start of the vote
