'''Bureaucrats''' are users who can mass-delete pages, add and remove bureaucrat, admin, and bot rights, and perform more advanced administrator actions with the [[mw:Extension:SocialProfile|SocialProfile]] and related 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 [[Test Wiki:System Administrators|sysadmin]] or [[Test Wiki:Stewards|steward]]. | '''Bureaucrats''' are users who can mass-delete pages, add and remove bureaucrat, admin, and bot rights, and perform more advanced administrator actions with the [[mw:Extension:SocialProfile|SocialProfile]] and related extensions.

A automatically generated list including all rights can be consulted [[Special:ListGroupRights|here]].

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 [[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 [[Test Wiki:Administrators|administrator]], which is entirely a testing role, they can assist in preventing disruption to the wiki, taking the ''minimal'' actions necessary, and referring longer term user restrictions or 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. | |||
