Extended confirmed before autoconfirmed on TOR?

On tor, autoconfirmed is 90 days and 100 edits. It does not mention anything about extended confirmed which is 30 days and 500 edits. lets say a user with 510 edits and an eighty day old account on tor or IP block exemption may be extended confirmed before becoming autoconfirmed.

Days to edit ratio

Autoconfirmed is 2.5 edits per day and extended confirmed is 16.7 edits per day. Why is the extended confirmed requirement 6.68 times faster? Boring pass (talk) 04:39, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your maths is backwards, it takes longer to get ExCon, but that's kind of the point - a user needs to demonstrate that they have enough edits and time editing to edit in topics where EC may be enforced. Primefac (talk) 12:02, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Permissions table - watchlists

The permissions table lists all users as having watchlist permissions, yet the software doesn't support watchlists for IP users. Is this a mistake? OXYLYPSE (talk) 09:00, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Probably. Will have to look into it and get back to you. Primefac (talk) 12:23, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
