I'd like to propose a small change. I think it might make sense for us to rename "[[The Sims Wiki:User rights|user rights]]" to "user roles." I know that within the context of MediaWiki these are referred to as user rights, but I feel the name "user rights" might be misleading to inexperienced editors. Someone might see a link to User Rights and think that it was talking about ''rights'' as opposed to ''user groups'' or ''user permissions''. I think the term 'user roles' more clearly and unambiguously gets to the heart of what we're talking about when we mention user rights; the sets of special permissions and tools given to designated user groups. |

:Yeah, I fully support this change. User roles is a much better way to refer to these things. Content moderator and admin for example don't feel like "rights". Definitely not. - [[User:SimDestroyer|SimDestroyer]] ([[User talk:SimDestroyer|talk]]) 16:52, June 13, 2019 (UTC) |

:Closing the thread, though there is no clear consensus to act one way or the other. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<span style="color:navy;">LostInRiverview</span>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 17:16, 21 April 2021 (UTC) |
