Bureaucrats
are Wikipedia users with the technical ability to:
add the
administrator
, bureaucrat,
bot
account creator
, or
reviewer
user group
to an account
remove the administrator, bot, account creator,
IP block exemption
, or reviewer user group from an account
rename
user accounts.
They are bound by policy and
consensus
only to grant administrator or bureaucrat access when doing so reflects the wishes of the community, usually after a successful request at
Wikipedia:Requests for adminship
. In like fashion, they are expected to exercise judgement in changing usernames, and in granting or removing bot flags on the advice of the
Bot Approvals Group
. They are expected to be capable judges of consensus, and are expected to explain the reasoning for their actions on request and in a civil manner. Bureaucrats are not super-admins, and have no authority beyond these technical competencies and the domains of requests for user access levels (RfX), bot flags, and account renaming.
Bureaucrats have been authorized by the community to remove administrator permissions in
certain situations outlined below
. Bureaucrats do not have the technical ability to remove bureaucrat rights from users or to grant or remove certain levels of access such as oversight or checkuser rights. These actions are performed by
stewards
, a multilingual group of individuals who serve all Wikimedia projects and are elected and reconfirmed annually by their users. Changes in user rights by stewards are recorded at
meta:Special:Log/rights
; for more information see
m:Requests for permissions
Users are granted bureaucrat status by community consensus. The process is similar to
the process of granting administrator status
, but the expectations for potential bureaucrats are higher and community consensus must be clearer. See
Wikipedia:Requests for bureaucratship

Procedures
ସମ୍ପାଦନା
These are instructions and procedures concerning bureaucratic actions and processes.
Permissions
ସମ୍ପାଦନା
Note:
Similar to
non-administrators closing deletion discussions
Requests for adminship
can be closed by non-bureaucrats in certain cases; for example if the user has withdrawn the request or the outcome is very unlikely to be positive (see
WP:NOTNOW
). Non-bureaucrats should be very careful in the latter case and only close RfAs when they are not in doubt. In such cases the requesting user should always be asked to consider withdrawal first.
Promotions and RfX closures
ସମ୍ପାଦନା
Wait at least seven days after the listing was made on
Wikipedia:Requests for adminship
or
Wikipedia talk:Bot Approvals Group
Check the history for the transcluded page to be reasonably sure that the comments are genuine
Determine whether there is a consensus that the person should be promoted using the traditional rules of thumb and your best judgement
Edit the nomination. Add the relevant header and footer to the discussion page, remembering to
substitute
ଉଇକିପିଡ଼ିଆ:Bureaucrats/Instructions
For requests for adminship or bureaucratship
Remove the "Voice your opinion" and talk page link (
example
Replace the
rfatally
template with
{{
subst
finaltally
}}, fill in the appropriate fields, make sure the final tally is accurate, and include any additional comments
If there is a consensus, promote to admin or bureaucrat using
Special:Userrights
. If present, remove userrights made redundant by the sysop flag. Please reference the RfA (or RfB) when making the promotion
Remove the request from
requests for adminship
For successful nominations, add a summary of the outcome to
successful requests for adminship
or
successful bureaucratship candidacies
For unsuccessful nominations, add the summary to
Wikipedia:Unsuccessful adminship candidacies (Chronological)
and
Wikipedia:Unsuccessful adminship candidacies (Alphabetical)
, or
Wikipedia:Unsuccessful bureaucratship candidacies
For requests for membership in the Bot Approval Group
Add the user to
Wikipedia:Bot Approvals Group
Add a summary of the outcome to
successful
or
unsuccessful
Bot Approvals Group candidacies
Inform the user of the result, whether it is successful or unsuccessful (perhaps using one of the
optional templates
Removal of permissions
ସମ୍ପାଦନା
Bureaucrats may remove the "administrator" user right from an account in some situations:
If self-requested by the administrator
By official request of the
Arbitration Committee
If the administrator is deemed inactive per
Wikipedia:Administrators#Procedural removal for inactive administrators
Bureaucrats should include a permanent link to the request or relevant policy when removing permissions. If necessary, the affected user should be immediately notified and given a reason for the removal along with advice on seeking the reinstatement of the permissions.
The use of these procedures is not intended to constrain the authority of the Wikimedia Stewards to undertake emergency removal of permissions on their own discretion, or removal following a request from the Arbitration Committee, pursuant to the relevant policies governing Steward actions.
Inactive bureaucrat accounts
ସମ୍ପାଦନା
Bureaucrat accounts which have been completely inactive for at least one calendar year (without any edits or other logged actions)
may have their bureaucrat permissions removed
. The bureaucrat must be contacted on their user talk page and via email one month before the removal of permissions and again several days before the request is made. Should the bureaucrat remain inactive, another bureaucrat may
request the procedural removal of permissions
. This is not to be considered permanent, or a reflection on the user's use of, or rights to, the tools. If an inactive bureaucrat returns to Wikipedia, they may request
restoration of the permissions
at the
bureaucrats' noticeboard
Restoration of permissions
ସମ୍ପାଦନା
Shortcut
WP:RESYSOP
In the case that a former administrator or bureaucrat requests their permissions be restored via the
bureaucrats' noticeboard
Check that the user in question is indeed a former administrator or bureaucrat (in particular, a bureaucrat restoring permissions should satisfy themselves that the account has not been compromised since the permissions were relinquished).
Check they are not listed at
Wikipedia:Former administrators/Long-term inactive
; these users are no longer eligible to have rights returned without a successful RfA.
Check their talk page history and any pertinent discussions or noticeboards for indications that they may have resigned (or become inactive) for the purpose, or with the effect, of evading scrutiny of their actions that could have led to sanctions.
To allow time for these requests to be checked thoroughly, it is required that a minimum of 24 hours elapse for multiple bureaucrats and other editors to comment on the request before restoring permissions. This time may be lengthened with a bureaucrats discretion if new information arises.
If the former admin or bureaucrat has been inactive for a period of three years or longer with zero activity (defined by zero edits or logged actions), from the time of their permissions being removed, they must undergo a mandatory
request for bureaucratship
if they want their permissions returned.
If the permission is restored, list the user at
Wikipedia:List of users resysopped by a bureaucrat
Bot flags
ସମ୍ପାଦନା
Bot flags may be granted or removed in accordance with the
bot policy
, often on the advice of the
Bot Approvals Group
On process page
) Ensure that the request is compliant with relevant policies and guidelines and that a Bot Approvals Group member asked for the bot to be flagged.
Bot flags may also be granted or removed in other situations (such as requests to the bureaucrats' noticeboard or other noticeboard discussions.)
Use
Special:UserRights
to set or remove the flag, with a link to the approved
BRFA
or permanent link to the relevant discussion as the rationale.
Renames
ସମ୍ପାଦନା
Ensure that the request is appropriate per the
changing usernames guidelines
and that the requested name complies with the
username policy
Verify the requested name is an eligible target and check the
global use
of the requested name to ensure
SUL conflicts
will not be created.
Enter the old and new name at
Special:RenameUser
(On
process page
) Append the
done
or
not done
template to the request.
Usurpations
ସମ୍ପାଦନା
When usurping a target name (
User:Target
) with a current name (
User:Current
):
Confirm that
User:Target
is eligible to be usurped and has not objected to the usurpation.
Check
sulutil:
to ensure
SUL conflicts
will not be created.
Using
Special:RenameUser
, rename
User:Target
to
User:Target (usurped)
with the "Do not create redirects" option checked; this vacates the target name and userspace.
Using
Special:RenameUser
, rename
User:Current
to
User:Target
(On
process page
) Append the
done
or
not done
template to the request and update the
status
accordingly.
Special conditions
ସମ୍ପାଦନା
It is currently not possible (for either bureaucrats
or
stewards
) to rename users with more than fifty thousand (50,000) edits (including deleted contributions).
After renaming an administrator, create a redirect from Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/
NEWNAME
to their successful RFA with [[
Category:Redirects to requests for adminship
NEWNAME
]] included.
For anonymization requests where the username was created by someone else, or has no license-worthy edits, the request should first be sent to the
Oversight
list at
oversight-en-wp
wikipedia.org
to determine whether or not HideUser should be used instead of Rename.
For requests from OTRS, contact a bureaucrat who is also an OTRS volunteer (see above) who can check the ticket. For OTRS agents, you can check if the bureaucrat has access to the queue the ticket is in, by going to
otrswiki:List of accounts
Mailing list
ସମ୍ପାଦନା
Bureaucrat mailing list
wikien-bureaucrats
) was established in March 2009. It is intended as a convenient way to notify bureaucrats about urgent matters or, on rare occasions, to discuss private matters. Any issue that is neither urgent nor necessarily private should instead be handled at the appropriate on-wiki venue, for instance at the
bureaucrats' noticeboard
Access to the list is strictly limited to current bureaucrats. However, not all bureaucrats are members. Subscription status is indicated
above
. Currently, the list administrators are
Dweller
and
EVula
Subject matter
ସମ୍ପାଦନା
Please use the list with care: most issues can and should be discussed on-wiki, either at
Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard
, via a Bureaucrat's talk page, or in the appropriate on-wiki forum. Please do not email regarding matters that are neither urgent nor concern private information. If an email sent to the list is urgent but does not involve private information, a copy of the text of the email should be posted to the
bureaucrats' noticeboard
. Please do not contact the list with concerns about edit-warring, conflict, or need for specialist tools, such as
CheckUser
or
Oversight
To contact the bureaucrat mailing list in appropriate circumstances, please use
Special:Emailuser/Bureaucrats
, or e-mail
wikien-bureaucrats
lists.wikimedia.org
. Please include links to any relevant on-wiki discussion. If you have a private request, please explain why it must remain private. If you prefer to contact an individual bureaucrat directly, you do not have to contact the mailing list.
