Test Wiki:Bureaucrats: Difference between revisions

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 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 as a whole, they should leave it to Stewards.
