A new feature of MediaWiki 1.5 allows user groups to be created which include users at different levels.
Each group can be assigned a mixture of the following rights.

| bot | edit without their edits showing up in recent changes (usually only used for mass edits by bots) | X | ||||||
| checkuser | see all IP addresses used by a registered user or to show all edits from a given IP address, including those made by logged in users. See meta:CheckUser for a discussion of this. | X | ||||||

There has been discussion of making some of the abilities available individually, but there has been no consensus to do this as yet.
Access to some features for this group are not immediately granted.
