-A number of actions on Destinypedia are restricted to user accounts that pass certain thresholds of age (time passed since the first edit) and edit count: users who meet these requirements are considered part of the pseudo-group 'autoconfirmed'. Autoconfirmed status is checked every time a user performs a restricted action: it is then granted automatically by the software.
+'''Autoconfirmed users''' are [[Destinypedia:Users|users]] who have had an account on the wiki for at least three (3) days and have made at least five (5) edits. A number of actions on Destinypedia are restricted from new users to prevent spam and [[Destinypedia:Vandalism|vandalism]] and are granted once the autoconfirmed status has been reached. These actions include:
-Autoconfirmed users can edit semi-protected pages, move pages and skip the CAPTCHA test. Autoconfirmed status is also required to upload files or upload a new version of an existing file.
