Minecraft Wiki:CATS

CATS (CATS Attack The Spam) is a custom global user group across all language versions of the Minecraft Wiki. Members of this group are trusted community members specializing in removing spam and vandalism across all language wikis. To do this, they gain various rights such as the ability to block users and delete pages. Notably, those rights can be only used to assist in removal of spam and vandalism. This group came into effect on November 24, 2023, after internal discussions prompted by spam and vandalism occurring on some language wikis.
