Redirect to:

Wikipedia:Bureaucrats

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

With history: This is a redirect from a page containing substantive page history. This page is kept as a redirect to preserve its former content and attributions. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated), nor delete this page.
- This template should not be used for redirects having some edit history but no meaningful content in their previous versions, nor for redirects created as a result of a page merge (use {{R from merge}} instead), nor for redirects from a title that forms a historic part of Wikipedia (use {{R with old history}} instead).

From a shortcut: This is a redirect from a shortcut in any namespace to a page in any namespace.
- Shortcuts are wikilinked on community pages, talk pages, and edit summaries, but not in mainspace articles.

To a project page: This is a redirect from any page inside or outside of project (Wikipedia: or WP:) space to any page in the project namespace. The above category link leads to a list of redirects from inside project space. Redirects from outside project space are automatically sorted to Category:Redirects to project space.

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.

-'''Bureaucrats''' are Wikipedia users with the ability to promote other users to [[Wikipedia:administrator|administrator]] or [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrat|bureaucrat]] status, to remove the administrator user right in some situations, to grant or revoke an account's [[Wikipedia:Bots|bot]] status, and [[Wikipedia:Changing username|rename]] user accounts. They have also been asked by the [[Wikipedia:Bot Approvals Group]] to close nominations for membership in the group.

-They are bound by policy and [[Wikipedia:consensus|consensus]] to only grant or revoke access to permissions in a manner that reflects the wishes of the community. In like fashion, they are expected to exercise judgment in changing usernames, and in granting or removing bot flags on the advice of the [[Wikipedia:Bot Approvals Group|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.

-== Inactive bureaucrat accounts ==
-Bureaucrat accounts which have been completely inactive for at least one calendar year (without any edits or other logged actions in that time) will be desysopped and have their bureaucrat permissions removed. This is not to be considered binding, or a reflection on the user's use of, or rights to, the tools; if an inactive bureaucrat returns to Wikipedia, they may be granted the bureaucrat bit without further discussion, providing they left Wikipedia in good standing and not in controversial circumstances, and that their identity is not in dispute. The bureaucrat will be contacted one month prior to the expiry of the one-year timeframe on their user talk page, and again a few days before the limit. If the account has a valid e-mail address, the user will also be contacted via that medium. The summary in the user rights log will make it clear that the removal of bureaucrat rights is purely administrative.
