=====Wiki User=====
A WikiUser is a generic WikiRole:
The role name applies to anyone using a Wiki through its web-based user interface: WikiVisitor, WikiEditor or WikiAdmin. (Someone playing the role of WikiOwner or WikiMaster generally uses different user interfaces to interact with a Wiki application.)
Any of the following roles //is a// WikiUser:
~- WikiVisitor
~- WikiEditor
~- WikiAdmin
In terms of classification, each of these would be a subclass of WikiUser.

Deletions:
Without users that are not also WikiOwner, WikiMaster or WikiAdmin, we have a personal blogging system, or maybe a CMS (content management system). While [[WikiMaster]]s and [[WikiAdmin]]s are special kinds of users, it's the other users that determine the "wikiness" of a system. The user role in a Wiki is not only a reader or site visitor: a user determines its content.
Generally, any user can edit any page but there may be exceptions determined by the WikiMaster or [[WikiAdmin]]s, for instance by requiring people to create an account to gain edit rights; and by protecting certain pages so they can be edited only by specific roles or users.
