Bureaucrat

Within Wikimedia projects, a bureaucrat is a user who has the technical ability to give other users adminship, on any wiki. Due to its interwiki nature, bureaucrat access will be coordinated from meta.

To make sysops, go to Special:Makesysop.

Bureaucrat policy

Bureaucrats must respect the sysopping policy of the wiki on which they are granting admin status. This usually means a consensus achieved by public discussion. On wikis so small that such a discussion is impractical, any active contributor may be sysopped, at their own request or that of another active contributor.

Bureacrats may also make other bureaucrats, if they fulfil the two requirements set out below. the mediawiki text doesn't make clear the syntax to do that

A breach of this policy will lead to immediate loss of bureaucrat status.

Dante Alighieri - Oh heck, I'll do it. It's not like I've got anything better to do... like work. :) I hereby agree to the above policy. Oh yeah, I'm a sysop on the EN. --Dante Alighieri 16:35, 6 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Pakaran I'll do it when a need arises, probably only on en and on tiny wikis, since I know only English and Spanish. Also, I reserve the right to step down if holding off on doing it is causing me get flamed - I intend to wait for a blatent consensus before doing it on en. This isn't going to be something I do often in any event. Pakaran 17:22, 6 Feb 2004 (UTC)
