[Wikitech-l] question about user_group dump
Hi, everyone, Thanks for reading. I am a sociological research. I have used the dump of Wikipedia English enwiki-20100312-user_groups.sql for my research. I am confused by 'accountcreator' 'founder' and 'confirmed' meaning, would you please to introduce? As I know, users of wikipedia can change their status by becoming helper, admin or joining other groups. Since when, the user groups like this data showed, the date this date collected? How I am supposed to do if I want the data showing the change of user status? Thanks very much for help!

"Accountcreator" was a special group greated for enwiki that bypasses the account creation limits so they can help other people make accounts for themselves. "Founder" is a special right created for Jimmy Wales as founder of Wikipedia. The rights have been historically been similar (recently changed though) to that of a Steward. > As I know, users of wikipedia can change their status by becoming helper, > admin or joining other groups.
