:::: Wolf and Mark are the two active crats (if I assessed that correctly). I suppose it also depends on weather the site [[owner]] wishes to be more 'hands off' or not, or wishes to include all of the 'admin team' with equal rights and responsibilities. All that being said, I would nominate Tera - she is incredibly trustworthy and level-headed, and would have no doubt she would keep WI on an even keel. I suppose it would be handy if we knew the reason why Mark asked the question in the first instance!!

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

Once we install the {{Mw|Extension:Renameuser|UserRename extension}} sooner or later, bureaucrat-ship will be required to rename users. Bureaucrats can revoke bureaucrat-ship 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...

:::Tera - I think, hand on heart, we have all made the odd mistake now and then. Personally, I don't see 'mistakes' as a big deal - they are very easily rectified, and we all have slightly different, but complimentary skill sets on this wiki. I nominated you because you run your own MediaWiki site, so have the necessary experience. <hugs> :-) | :::Tera - I think, hand on heart, we have all made the odd mistake now and then.

[[Bureaucrat]]s are not the highest level, and they do not have the same abilities as higher groups. The "[[Special:ListUsers/staff|staff]]" group is above bureaucrats and can do more than crats can. Also, crats do not have the '[[user rights]]' permission, so saying that they can [[Special:UserRights|edit user rights]] in general is inaccurate. <b>[[User:Ohnoitsjamie|OhNo<font color= | [[Bureaucrat]]s are not the highest level, and they do not have the same abilities as higher groups.
