Test Wiki:Bureaucrats: 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 according to the [[Test Wiki:Bureaucrat policy|Bureaucrat policy]]. Bureaucrat rights are required for any user seeking to gain [[<tvar name=SA>Special:MyLanguage/Test Wiki:System administrators</tvar>|system administrator]], [[<tvar name=SU>Special:MyLanguage/Test Wiki:Suppressors</tvar>|suppressor]], or [[<tvar name=S>Special:MyLanguage/Test Wiki:Stewards</tvar>|steward]].

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 [[<tvar name=S>Special:MyLanguage/Test Wiki:Stewards</tvar>|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 [[<tvar name=A>Special: MyLanguage/Test Wiki:Administrators</tvar>|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.
