Användarkategori

Användarkategori is a Swedish term that translates to "user category" in English. It is a system used primarily on wiki platforms, such as Wikipedia, to organize and classify users based on their contributions, interests, or roles. These categories help in navigating and understanding the user base of a particular wiki.

Users can be assigned to categories based on various criteria. For example, a user might be placed in a category like "Editors" if they actively contribute to content creation, or "Administrators" if they have elevated privileges to manage the wiki. Other categories might reflect a user's area of expertise, such as "History Enthusiasts" or "Science Contributors." Special categories might also exist for users who have achieved certain milestones or have specific roles within the community, like "New Users" or "Patrollers."

The purpose of användarkategori is to facilitate community management, content organization, and user interaction. By categorizing users, wiki administrators and other members can more easily identify individuals with specific skills or responsibilities. This can be helpful for coordinating collaborative projects, seeking assistance with specific tasks, or simply understanding the diverse makeup of the wiki's user community. The implementation and specific naming conventions for user categories can vary between different wiki projects.
