Along with the normal responsibilities and abilities of an administrator/sysop, bureaucrats can rename users, and must keep an eye on [[MarioWiki:Changing username]] for new rename requests. They also have the ability to promote and demote other users after the staff as a whole agrees on new appointments or dismissals, or if a retiring sysop or [[MarioWiki:Patrollers|patroller]] requests a demotion to [[MarioWiki:Autopatrolled users|autopatrolled]]. Bureaucrats can demote themselves if they choose to step down from the rank, and can give themselves or other users [[MarioWiki:Bots|bot]] status temporarily so that large-scale maintenance work does not flood [[Special:RecentChanges]], although this is rarely necessary. | Along with the normal responsibilities and abilities of an administrator/sysop, bureaucrats can rename users, and must keep an eye on [[MarioWiki:Changing username]] for new rename requests.

While the staff as a whole discuss these matters behind the scenes, any corrective measures (i.e. removing a sysop/patroller-given warning) should be done by a bureaucrat so that there can be no challenges to the ruling. It is expected that bureaucrats stay on top of all admin discussions and important wiki matters, and are willing to take the initiative whenever strong leadership is needed. | ||
