Guide

Reverting changes

Moderators, like all users, can revert individual changes. Additionally, moderators have a special rollback right, allowing them to revert multiple changes at once without confirmation. Please note that the changes and their reverts, including rollbacks, are visible in the page history; please see § Hiding revisions for a way to hide revisions from view.

Deleting pages

Moderators can delete entire pages from the NixOS Wiki, making its revision history inaccessible in the process. See the MediaWiki manual for usage instructions. For more granular control over removing content, see § Reverting changes and § Hiding revisions.

Blocking users

When suspending a user, moderators are able to block users to prevent them from making edits to the wiki. See the MediaWiki manual for usage instructions.

Hiding revisions

Moderators have the oversight permission, allowing them to make page revisions inaccessible. See the MediaWiki manual for usage instructions.

Protecting pages

Moderators can protect a page, preventing it from being edited. See the MediaWiki manual for usage instructions.
