→Disadvantages to giving Bureaucrat status to all sysops?
| Line 16: | Line 16: | ||
What are the abuses a bureaucrat could do? On another [[UniversalEditButton|wiki]] - I gave all known [[WikiPeople]] bureaucrat status. I grew up on flat wikis, so don't know much about the MediaWiki step system...well a little :-) Also, this is a community wiki. [[John]], [[Ray]] and I co-founded it. Many others have done amazing work here. Best, [[MarkDilley]] | What are the abuses a bureaucrat could do? On another [[UniversalEditButton|wiki]] - I gave all known [[WikiPeople]] bureaucrat status.

:The worst thing that could happen is a bureaucrat could merge and delete user accounts, but I checked [[Special:Version]] and we clearly do not have that unnecessary extension installed, so that worry is for naught. Once we install the UserRename extension sooner or later, bureaucratship will be required to rename users. Bureaucrats can revoke bureaucratship as well, but that should probably not be a problem with our stable community. '''[[User talk:Elassint|Elassint]]''' 8 September 2012 | |||
::Ummm... Thank you for the confidence in me HH... I know that I have messed up here and there, but I hope that overall what I have done has been for the best of the community at large... I haven't been as active in the day-to-day management of WI, mostly for the speed of other Admins in getting to the spam here, but I do check on the site regularly, sometimes 10 or 20 times a day, and I have to admit that I look at every edit just in case... I do think that I need to question things a bit more, I have made some mistakes in reversing an edit a couple of times that I should have looked further into... Anyway... Thank you again for thinking of me... should Mark or the rest of the Admins want to give me that status, I will do my best for WI...
