Subcategories here are the different types of '''Wiki Edit Mode''' which a wiki can be classified by. "Edit mode" refers to the technical limitations imposed by permissioning systems on the wiki.

'''Category:Wiki Edit Mode''' — the sub-categories listed in this '''Wiki Edit Mode''' 'mother' or 'parent' [[Special:Categories|category]] classify [[wiki]]s by their 'edit mode'. 'Edit mode' refers to the technical limitations imposed by permissioning systems on the wiki [[:Category:Wiki engine|software]], along with the specific permissions set by their [[owner]]s or '[[WikiIndex:Bureaucrats|bureaucrats]]'.


The two main types are:
The two main types are:
* [[:Category:OpenEdit|OpenEdit]] anyone can edit at will, even anonymously
*[[:Category:OpenEdit|OpenEdit]] anyone can edit at will, even anonymously (aka '[[IP editor]]')
* [[:Category:LoginToEdit|LoginToEdit]] anyone can edit, after creating an account and logging in (no human review of logins)
*[[:Category:LoginToEdit|LoginToEdit]] anyone can edit, after creating an account with a [[username]] and password, and logging-in (no human review of log-ins, and no e-mail verification)
 
Others we're using are:
* [[:Category:ConfirmEmail|ConfirmEmail]] – anyone can edit, after creating an account, registering a working email address, and logging in (no human review of logins)
* [[:Category:ByInvitation|ByInvitation]] – only those with approval from a human being may edit
* [[:Category:ReadOnly|ReadOnly]] – no one may edit
 
If you are unsure, just use [[:Category:UnknownEditMode|UnknownEditMode]] and someone will add it.


There should be no actual pages in the 'Wiki Edit Mode' category, only subcategories.
Others we are using are:
*[[:Category:SaveAfterPreview|SaveAfterPreview]] — fundamentally the same as OpenEdit, but with a specific requirement for IP editors to click on the 'Show preview' button before being allowed to save an edit
*[[:Category:ConfirmEmail|ConfirmEmail]] — anyone can edit, after creating an account, registering a valid working e-mail address, and logging in (no human review of log-ins)
*[[:Category:Login via forum|Login via forum]] — similar to the above ConfirmEmail, in that anyone can edit after creating an account; however, this specifically requires signing up and creating an account on a linked [[:Category:internet forum|internet forum]] (you can't create an account soley on the wiki)
*[[:Category:ByInvitation|ByInvitation]] — only those with prior approval from a human being may edit
*[[:Category:Pay to edit|Pay to edit]] — you need to pay a fee prior to editing, the smallest amount being just US$1
*[[:Category:Read-only|Read-only]] — no one may edit, see [[:category:Wiki status]] for possible reasons


[[Category:Wiki Lists|Edit Mode]]
If you are unsure, just use [[:Category:Unknown edit mode|Unknown edit mode]], and someone else will (hopefully) add the correct one.
