This AVEA belongs to the {{code|emailconfirmed}} and {{code|Autoconfirmed users}} groups. It does not possess {{code|bots}}, {{code|administrators}}, {{code|bureaucrats}}, or {{code|suppressors}} privileges.

== Operation ==
A designated operator, {{u|NOUG4AT}}, configures the AVEA to perform automated or semi-automated edits. The operator defines specific criteria and patterns, instructing the AVEA on the edits required across multiple pages. The AVEA leverages its functionalities to execute these repetitive tasks, such as find-and-replace operations. The operator supervises the AVEA's activity to ensure edits comply with established wiki policies and guidelines.
