MediaWiki:Botpasswords-help-grants

Grants allow access to rights already held by your user account. Enabling a grant here does not provide access to any rights that your user account would not otherwise have. See the table of grants for more information.

Risky grants are marked. Unmarked grants are generally hard to abuse when the bot is hijacked by someone with malicious intent. Grants with vandalism risk ((risk rating: vandalism)) can be used to cause disruption that takes a lot of effort to clean up. Grants with security risk ((risk rating: security)) can cause lasting harm (such as theft of private data). Internal grants ((risk rating: internal)) are typically used only by the site operator. Please do not request risky grants unless you really need them.
