=== Interface editors ===

Interface editors (<code>interface-admin</code>) are experienced administrators with the technical ability to edit sitewide and user JavaScript and CSS pages, such as [[MediaWiki:Common.css]]. Editing of these pages is restricted because of the potential to insert malicious code which can affect many users.

Administrators may request interface editor access at the [[WickedGov:bureaucrats' noticeboard|bureaucrats' noticeboard]]. Interface editor access may be granted temporarily to carry out a specific task.

=== Checkusers ===

Checkusers (<code>checkuser</code>) are experienced administrators with the technical ability to check users' IP addresses and related information. This is done to prevent [[WickedGov:sockpuppetry|sockpuppetry]] and other abuse. Use of the CheckUser tool is governed by the [[WickedGov:CheckUser|CheckUser policy]].

Administrators may request checkuser access at the [[WickedGov:bureaucrats' noticeboard|bureaucrats' noticeboard]].

Bureaucrats are generally added to the checkuser group when they become a bureaucrat.

=== Suppressors ===

Suppressors (<code>suppress</code>) are experienced administrators with the technical ability to hide revisions and log entries from view, even by administrators. Use of the suppression tool is governed by the [[WickedGov:Suppression|suppression policy]].

Administrators may request ~~suppression~~ access at the [[WickedGov:bureaucrats' noticeboard|bureaucrats' noticeboard]].

Administrators may request suppressor access at the [[WickedGov:bureaucrats' noticeboard|bureaucrats' noticeboard]].

Bureaucrats are generally added to the suppressor group when they become a bureaucrat.
