User rights log
Appearance
This is a log of changes to user rights performed locally by users ("manual" changes) or by system rules ("automatic" changes). You may enter either or both of:
- Performer – the name of the user who changed the rights (just their name)
- Target – the name of the user whose rights were changed (written with the prefix User:)
The list of user groups and their associated permissions is on Special:ListGroupRights.
The log does not show:
- Changes of rights by stewards (such as checkuser and oversight user rights) – see the meta global rights log (Enter usernames like this: User:Doe@enwiki)
- Local rights changes made prior to 24 December 2004 – see Wikipedia:Bureaucrat log.
