Autoconfirmed users are generally registered users that have met or exceeded certain [[Help:Edit count|edit count]] and account age requirements (for example, accounts must be at least four days old and have made at least ten edits in order to become autoconfirmed<ref>[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:User access levels#Autoconfirmed_and_confirmed_users|Wikipedia:User access levels § Autoconfirmed and confirmed users]]</ref>). These users can edit semi-protected pages and no longer have to answer [[wikipedia:CAPTCHA|CAPTCHAs]]. On most wikis, the majority of registered users who spend at least some time on the site are autoconfirmed.
Miraheze allows each individual wiki to customize the edit count and age requirements for obtaining autoconfirmed status. By default, accounts need to be at least four days old and have made at least 10 edits in order to become autoconfirmed. The requirements for getting autoconfirmed are determined by the user's local account on the wiki in question, not by their [[Help:Unified login|global account]]. As such, autoconfirmed status is ''not'' global; getting autoconfirmed on one wiki does not automatically grant it on others.
In some situations, it is necessary for accounts to be exempted from the confirmation period and be given the "confirmed" status right away. [[#Bureaucrats|Bureaucrats]] can give users the <code>confirmed</code> user group which grants all of the permissions of autoconfirmed right away. It is redundant to give this user group to users who are already autoconfirmed, since it provides the exact same abilities.
