People with '''bureaucrat''' rights can add or remove rights / permissions from people's accounts here on | People with '''bureaucrat''' (sometimes shortened to ''''crat''' for brevity) {{tag|user group}} rights can add or remove rights / permissions from other people's [[user]] accounts here on {{tag|WikiIndex}}. Typically, [[bureaucrat]]s are also [[sysop]]s, because the first step to promote a person within a basic user account is to give them sysop, or '{{tag|admin}}' rights. In terms of day-to-day operation of a wiki, bureaucrats are basically the top-tier level of administrator on a [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] wiki – nearly all other [[Special:ListGroupRights|groups]] are technically subordinate to bureaucrats, and as such, actual numbers of bureaucrats are generally quite limited, for better or worse. Some MediaWiki sites might also have [[owner]] or [[founder]](s), which would be the absolute pinnacle of authority. However, in reality, the owner or founder user groups are sometimes seen as a nod to a token gesture, because said persons may actually be an '[[wp:Emeritus|emeritus]]' position, and may no longer take an active role in the running and administration of said wiki. The most obvious example of an emeritus position is [[Jimmy Wales]] – founder of [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] who now leaves it to others to run the project. | ||
