"To reduce potential confusion, bureaucrat rights will be cleaned up such that they don't duplicate admin rights. (Bureaucrats are intended to also have admin rights.)"
 * Woah. Who says Bureaucrats are intended to have Admin rights? Personally I'd rather they stay distinctly separate and I think this is going to create more confusion that it solves. Bureaucrats are for primarily giving out user rights so filling the position with Admin tools is what's creating duplication (unless you make it where a user cannot be an Admin and Bureaucrat AND you make the Bureaucrat usertag a default where it's the only one displayed - this would create distinct separation between the two though will still create confusion based on the confusion Bureaucrats have Admin rights). We've always kept the two separate, as such Admin rights could easily be removed when a user became inactive (thus having less rights). Now you are proposing these inactive users have Admin rights when a Bureaucrat while also being harder to remove (some wikis don't like the perception inactive users with rights gives).

I hate the number of times I've used user "rights." They are not rights and Wikia should spent time clearing up that confusion instead.
