'''Autoconfirmed users''' are defined as [[MarioWiki:Users|users]] who have had an account on MarioWiki for at least one week and have made 10 edits. New users gain certain rights upon becoming Autoconfirmed. This rank was established on February 21, 2007 as a way to prevent vandals from joining and immediately moving pages ''en masse''.
