=AutoModerators and AutoModerations=

AutoMod is an ambiguous term and can mean either [[Auto Moderator|AutoModerator]] or [[Auto-Moderation|AutoModeration]].
* An [[Auto-Moderation|AutoModeration]] is [[Bad Terminology|BadTerminology]] for an edit that does not go to a vote: that is, the change is applied immediately, and the moderation is marked (with an ''''A'''') as '''auto-approved'''.
* An [[Auto Moderator|AutoModerator]] is a moderator who has been given the "automod" privilege (by the [[Auto-Editor Election|AutoEditorElection]] process). This privilege enables them to enter a [[Edit Type|greater range of edit types]] that are auto-approved, i.e. applied immediately, without going to a vote.

In most cases, AutoMod is used in the latter sense; especially as "moderation" is (hopefully!) replaced with "edit" throughout [[MusicBrainz]], uses of the former sense should be replaced with "auto-approved edit."
