admins

), are editors that have access to special features that help keep Wiktionary running well. They have access to these features because they are trusted by the community, but this does not make them better or more important than anybody else.
Things they can do
This is the symbol of administrators. It shows the site's logo with a
mop
, because administrators can be thought of as Wiktionary's
janitors
Delete
pages

Bureaucrats

WT:BUREAUCRAT
bureaucrat
is a slightly higher administrative level than
sysop
and can perform a few additional functions. Bureaucrats can give and remove sysop permission and grant bureaucrat status to other users after a successful request. They can also "flag"
bots
, which hides a user's contributions from the
new changes
and puts them in the bot group.
Prior to 15 September 2014, bureaucrats could rename users locally on their project. That function has then been disabled and a historic log of those actions can be found
here
Renames should now be requested using
this special page
Requesting adminship
Please see
the request for permissions page
to nominate yourself or another user for administrator or bureaucrat status.
