Hello all!

Yesterday (Jan. 13, 2016), Wikia Staff member DaNASCAT released a notice on Community Central about some new mapping for preexisting groups, as well as the implementation of some new moderator groups. These new rights groups will be seen across all wikias from now on. The changes and additions are as follows: Discussion Moderators can still be added by both admins and bureaucrats. Due to Content Moderators having the Rollback right, this group can only be added by bureaucrats.
 * Discussion Moderators : Moderators (AKA "Thread Moderators", or "Forum Moderators") are newly dubbed Discussion Moderators and now have various new rights in addition to the existing rights. Some of these rights are:
 * Full control of article comments:
 * Delete
 * Move
 * Edit
 * Ability to delete blog comments
 * Chat moderator
 * Content Moderators : Content Moderator is a new addition to the user rights mapping of Wikia. The rights of Content Moderators are:
 * Protect and unprotect pages
 * Delete and undelete pages
 * Move files
 * Rollback

All other groups will remain unaltered, and the separate Rollback and Chat Moderator groups will remain separate. Sysops (Administrators) can still add Chat Moderators, and Bureaucrats can still add Rollbacks.
