Test Wiki:Bureaucrats/en: Difference between revisions

'''Bureaucrats''' are users who can mass-delete pages, add and remove bureaucrat, admin, and bot rights, and perform more advanced administrator actions with extensions. Bureaucrat rights will be granted upon request, but requesters must first be an administrator. Bureaucrat rights are required for any user seeking to gain [[Special:MyLanguage/Test Wiki:System administrators|system administrator]], [[Special:MyLanguage/Test Wiki:Suppressors|suppressor]], or [[Special:MyLanguage/Test Wiki:Stewards|steward]].

A automatically generated list including all rights can be consulted [[Special:ListGroupRights|here]]. This is one of the six default MediaWiki user groups, see [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:User rights and groups|:mw:Help:User rights and groups]].

It is important to note that this role is a mostly testing role. ''Mostly'' in the sense that, from a technical perspective, it adds additional permissions that require an additional degree of ''trust'' and, so, with that level of trust, they ''can'' assist [[Special:MyLanguage/Test Wiki:Stewards|Stewards]] in preventing disruption to the wiki, which includes performing actions in a non-test capacity. That does '''not''' mean they should be issuing firmly worded warnings regarding user conduct that is non-urgent. Rather, unlike with [[Special: MyLanguage/Test Wiki:Administrators|administrator]], which is almost entirely a testing role, they can assist in preventing disruption to the wiki, taking the ''minimal'' actions necessary, and referring longer term blocks, any sort of rights or user restrictions, and any sort of firmly worded warnings (i.e., "final warnings") to the Steward team. That is not to say they cannot provide gently worded ''guidance'' to users, however. As well, they can additionally make minor non-test changes to pages categorized at [[:Category:Test Wiki policies]], but if in doubt as to whether something is ''minor'' or possibly disputed by Stewards or the community, they should leave it to Stewards.
