Bureaucrats are Wikipedians who have the technical ability to give administrator or bureaucrat access to other users, and to change user names. They are bound by tradition and policy to grant administrator or bureaucrat access only when doing so reflects the wishes of the community, usually after a successful request at Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship. In like fashion, they are expected to exercise judgement They are expected to be capable judges of consensus, and are expected to explain the reasoning for their actions upon request and in a civil manner.

Bureaucrats do not have the ability to revoke adminship nor can they grant other levels of access. These capabilities are held only by stewards, a small multilingual group that serves not only the English Misplaced Pages but all Wikimedia projects in all languages. Stewards are elected annually. For more information, see m:Requests for permissions.

Instructions for sysoping someone

  1. Wait at least seven days after the listing was made on Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship.
  2. Check the history for the transcluded page to be reasonably sure that the votes are genuine.
  3. Determine whether there is a general consensus that the person should be sysopped utilizing the traditional rules of thumb and your best judgement.
  4. If so, make them an admin or bureaucrat using Special:Makesysop.
  5. Use {{subst:rfap}}-{{subst:rfab}} as a header and footer, respectively, when closing a successful nomination. Similarly, use {{subst:rfaf}}-{{subst:rfab}} for a failed nomination. Remove the "Vote here" link. Place the word Final before the parenthetic voting results, change "ending" to "ended" and update the ending time and date to reflect the current time and date.
    • For a request for bureaucratship, use {{subst:rfbp}}-{{subst:rfbb}} for successful nominations. For failed nominations, use {{subst:rfbf}}-{{subst:rfbb}}.
  6. For successful nominations, move the listing from requests for adminship to recently created admins or recently created bureaucrats. For unsuccessful administrator nominations, move the listing to Misplaced Pages:Unsuccessful adminship candidacies. For unsuccessful bureaucrat nominations, just remove the transclusion from requests for adminship.
  7. If the nomination has succeeded, inform the user that they are now a sysop or bureaucrat.

Some bureaucrats also inform users of failed nominations.

Some bureaucrats also add the names of new administrators and bureaucrats to lists at Misplaced Pages:List of administrators or Misplaced Pages:Bureaucrats.

Instructions for changing usernames

  1. Check that the request at Misplaced Pages:Changing username is legitimate.
  2. Be sure that the user has no history of abuse and that the request is in the best interest of the project. Use your judgement.
  3. Enter the old and new name at Special:Renameuser.
  4. Recreate the old account and then block it. This prevents someone else creating it in an attempt to impersonate the renamed user.
  5. Redirect the user and talk pages of the old account to the new account.
  6. Inform the user their request has been carried out.
  7. Archive the request at Misplaced Pages:Changing username.
