Autoconfirmed users are wiki users who are members of the "autoconfirmed" user group. This is a special user group which is allocated automatically based on certain criteria.
The criteria are
- $wgAutoConfirmAge (number of seconds account needs to have existed to qualify)
- $wgAutoConfirmCount (number of edits account needs to have to qualify)
Note that BOTH criteria need to be satisfied for an account to be automatically promoted to the autoconfirmed user group. As of 4/20/13 the values are set to 0 for count and 3 days for age. (See the log for an explanation)
What rights autoconfirmed users have is controlled via $wgGroupPermissions.
Non-autoconfirmed accounts are considered "newbies" for purposes of User::isNewbie() and mediawikiwiki:Manual:$wgRateLimits.
