Editing User groups (section)

=== {{int:Group-bureaucrat}} ===

'''Bureaucrat''' is the highest local group a user can obtain by default. Bureaucrats can promote and demote administrators and interface administrators. Additionally, bureaucrats are not affected by rate limits, can override local account spoofing checks in [[mw:Extension:AntiSpoof|AntiSpoof]], can access [[Special:MyLanguage/ManageWiki|ManageWiki]], and can edit interwiki data.

By default, bureaucrats '''''cannot''''' be demoted by other bureaucrats, only [[Special:MyLanguage/Stewards|Stewards]] may do that. Bureaucrats also hold an immense amount of power locally. '''Only promote trusted users to bureaucrat'''. If you are a bureaucrat, you can request other bureaucrats be demoted on the Steward requests (granted you have a good reason for it such as bureaucrat or community consensus, resignation, or another good reason).

The bureaucrat group alone does not give users the ability to do many tasks often associated with being an administrator, such as banning users and deleting pages. To achieve all of that, you must also be an administrator.
