 ==== User levels ====
-User: Level upon creation of profile. Can create/edit, requires editor approval before publishing.
-Author: Create/edit without editor approval, promoted with one or more substantive contributions
+* User: Level upon creation of profile. Can create and edit articles, but any changes require editor approval prior to content being publishing.
+* Author: Authors can create and edit articles which will publish immediately without editor approval. Users are usually promoted to authors after one or more high quality content submission was reviewed and published.
+* Editor: Editors moderate content submissions from Users, promote users to authors, and can edit most protected pages.
+* Administrator: Administrators can edit all protected pages and manage some aspects of other user accounts.
+== Assessing risk ==
+=== Risk level definitions ===
+In order to encourage consistency and allow for relative risk assessment, RACKWiki uses the following standardized definitions of risk level when summarizing the risk of a given topic.
+==== Health ====
+Health risk relates to the likelihood of injury or death if the topic is practiced.
+* <span class="infobox-risk-Mild">Mild</span>: Severe injury AND death unlikely
+* <span class="infobox-risk-Moderate">Moderate</span>: Temporary or permanent severe injury conceivable AND death unlikely
+* <span class="infobox-risk-High">High</span>: Temporary or permanent injury plausible OR death conceivable
+* <span class="infobox-risk-Critical">Critical</span>: Permanent injury or death risk essentially unmitigable
-Editor: Can approve or reject User contributions, edit most protected pages
+==== Legal ====
+Legal risk relates to the likelihood of legal ramifications to the practitioners if law enforcement becomes involved or civil liability is pursued related to the practice of the topic.
-Administrator: Edit all protected pages and site set up.
+* <span class="infobox-risk-Mild">Mild</span>: Unlikely to result in legal ramifications for practitioners
+* <span class="infobox-risk-Moderate">Moderate</span>: Legal ramifications for practitioners conceivable, legal contingency planning recommended
+* <span class="infobox-risk-High">High</span>: Legal ramifications for practitioners likely, legal contingency planning highly recommended

-==== Title ====
+=== Title ===
 '''The article title''' should be a recognizable name or description of the topic that is natural, sufficiently precise, concise, and consistent with those of related articles. Capitalize the initial letter, but otherwise follow sentence case. Do not use articles in titles unless they are inseparable part of the name.

 * Articles about chemicals should use IUPAC nomenclature if that name is in common use. If not, use the most common name, and mention the IUPAC name in the lead.
-==== Sections ====
+=== Sections ===
 The content of the article should begin with an introductory lead section, which does not have a section heading. The rest of the article is divided into '''sections'''. There are several available boilerplate section lists for common themes (kink activity, medicine, and so on).Linguistic choices of English
