There are two safe user lists that can be maintained through [[Special:UserRights|User rights management]]:
There are two safe user lists that can be maintained through [[Special:UserRights|User rights management]]:


* {{plainlink|1={{SERVER}}{{SCRIPTPATH}}/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&group=em-bypass-1 '''em-bypass-1'''}}: Users who are new to the site and are still not considered completely trusted, should be on this list. Anyone can be added to this list without any risk.  
* {{plainlink|1={{SERVER}}{{SCRIPTPATH}}/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&group=em-bypass-1 '''em-bypass-1'''}}: New users who have started contributing should be on this list to decrease the likelihood of being blocked by the system. Anyone can be added to this list without any risk. New users should be asked to use the Preview button as much as possible and space out the 'Saves' to about once every 5 minutes.  
* {{plainlink|1={{SERVER}}{{SCRIPTPATH}}/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&group=em-bypass-2 '''em-bypass-2'''}}: Users on this list are not monitored at all. Only users who are completely trusted should be on this list.  
* {{plainlink|1={{SERVER}}{{SCRIPTPATH}}/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&group=em-bypass-2 '''em-bypass-2'''}}: Users on this list are not monitored at all. Only users who are completely trusted should be on this list. Explicit requests by new users to be added to this safe list should be ignored.


A user should only be one of these two lists. Administrators do not have to be added to any lists.
A user should only be added to one of these lists (whichever is applicable), and administrators do not need to be added to any.


It would be very rare for anyone with a malicious intent to try to get on these lists and for that they would have to make some positive contributions to the site. If the account goes 'rogue' for some reason, we will revert the edits and if that's difficult, we can revert to a backup and retain their positive contributions.
Inclusion on these lists is to protect against accidental blocks, and is not related to a user's quality of editing. If a safe user begins to vandalize, they should be removed from the list and their edits should be reverted. If that proves difficult, the site can revert to a backup and retain any positive contributions.
