Here’s the latest draft of what will be the FAQ Version. I think it’s pretty close to the final version, but if anyone can spot any errors or omissions please shout out. 🙂 👍

What’s the difference between a cell with ❌ and a cell with nothing?

</div>

Nothing. 🙂 I think I put the ❌ in for emphasis, and to provide a bit of shape to the ‘mini-sections’. Let’s try taking them out and see if it works better/is more consistent.

**Edit:** Any better?

I do think that’s slightly better.

And I like this table.

The table is now added to the blog post! We’re working on fixing the styling, so hang tight on that.

I love charts like this, and I love this chart! So.. well done! 👏

Now the TL0-TL4 one is on [the blog](https://blog.discourse.org/2018/06/understanding-discourse-trust-levels/) it’s probably time to calve off the admin setting one into its own faq. I shall go and do that now. 👍 (I’ll also tuck the draft grids in this topic into details sections so as to not be too confusing for anyone reading this later)

And the topic is now here: [Trust Level Permissions Reference](https://meta.discourse.org/t/trust-level-permissions-table-inc-moderator-roles/224824)

</div>

I think now there is no need for the link to the other table, which is shown in the topic of the blogpost before you press show full post, anymore.

</div>

I made a change here – the table in the post was a bit… clunky (especially on mobile). Instead, I’ve linked to the topic @JammyDodger created. That will be the source of truth for up to date/accurate permissions listing for TLs.

Thanks all for bringing this up!
