Thanks to Discourse’s user trust levels, we have a discrete way to check which contributors are literally levelling up thanks to their participation in Wikimedia Developer Support. This is a topic to praise them.
Congratulations to these contributors!


Members, aka user trust level 2:
@Tgr, @samwilson and @qgil have reached this level some days ago, but we are administering and bootstrapping this site, so we are kind of cheaters in this sense.
Let’s have a round of applause for the first true members!
- @Ciencia-Al-Poder (also the first 100% volunteer, no admin/moderator, and also a long term contributor of Project:Support desk!)
- @srishakatux

Hear hear!
It was great to hear the positivity at the Dev Summit about the future of MediaWiki as a meaningful and widely-used software product — and it’s active forums and support that make that possible (amongst other things, of course).
Thanks everyone.

Is the user trust level automatically promote by system?

As far as I know: yes


Yes, and let me expand the link in the first post:

AIUI trust level 4 is distinct from moderators (even though both are assigned manually and have similar features).

@addshore

@Nikerabbit

@Chicocvenancio

FYI the level can be automatic or an admin (see here) can also manually set it. Level 3 can also be locked so that the user can never be demoted.
