Bureaucrats have the ability to make normal users ranked. They can turn a normal wikia user into an admin, or a rollback. However, keep in mind that once a bureaucrat, always bureaucrat, unless somebody requests a Wikia Staff member to take away his/her priviledge. This should only be done when they abuse their powers.

Bureaucrats are also just editors. They have all the same powers as normal editors, and then some. Their powers shouldn't be used for evil, and shouldn't be used that often at all. Bureaucrats are often looked up to as leaders, or people who can be trusted throughout the wiki, and often times Wikia itself. Bureaucrats, also called 'crats, are often considered the organisers of a wiki. They see to when something needs to be done, that are beyond even the powers of an admin.

 * And they can lock down the Wiki entirely by protecting Special:AllPages. Don't forget that. Cat 00:24, February 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Bureaucrats are not exactly admins- just users who the ability to give user rights such as admin and rollback. Most of the time, not always, 'crats are admins. Bureaucrats are users who are trusted by the wiki community. A 'crats' rights cannot be revoked unless done so by Wikia Staff. 'Crats are also editors, corrupt 'crats should be reported to Special:Contact. -- Plasma  ( Talk )  @Community Central   00:58, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

Bureaucrats really aren't much different than regular editors. They're to be viewed as a regular editor. Yes, they do have the ability to block other users, but that's only when needed. In addition to blocking, they can also add administrator rights to another user. But other than that, they really are not different from other users because they are just other users. –  Jä zz  i  00:59, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

 * Bureaucrats aren't "supposed" to be different from other users. Sadly, this concept has been thrown out the window on the wiki I contribute to. And that's putting it mildly.
