Account creators are users on local wikis that can create many accounts without being subject to IP-based limits. They can also create a local account for a global account if the user is unable to do it for some reason. Finally, they can add (but not remove) the confirmed group through Special:UserRights.
Administrators have all account creator permissions and do not need to request this permission.
Access[edit | edit source]
Bureaucrats[edit | edit source]
On wikis with local bureaucrats, bureaucrats are responsible for granting and removing the account creator group according to local policy.
Stewards[edit | edit source]
On wikis without bureaucrats, or where all bureaucrats are inactive, Stewards are responsible for managing account creator access.
To obtain access, users should first post to a centralized forum on the local wiki, following local policies if they exist. Wait at least 7 days to allow discussion, then make a request at Stewards/Requests/Permissions. Be sure to provide a link to the local discussion. A Steward will grant access if there was consensus or if no objections were raised.
