Meta:Bureaucrats

Bureaucrats on Meta are privileged users with the technical ability to:

• Add the administrator and bureaucrat groups
• Add and remove the bot, translation administrator, interface administrator, account creator, and transwiki importer groups

These actions can only be taken according to consensus. In the case of assigning administrator, translation administrator, interface administrator, or bureaucrat permissions, a discussion must have taken place at Meta:Requests for permissions.

There is currently 1 bureaucrat on Meta. If there are no bureaucrats, or if all bureaucrats are inactive, bureaucrat roles are performed by Stewards.

Appointment and removal

Bureaucrats are chosen by the community in the same manner as administrators (at Meta:Requests for permissions), and the qualifications are the same, except that all bureaucrats must already be administrators and must enable two-factor authentication. The removal process is the same as for administrators.
