To be honest, bureaucrats shouldn't just be rights givers. Wikipedia allows bureaucrats to rename users, which I understand here, since it reflects wikis where said user has no rights. Bureaucrats are few and far between, and they wouldn't be bureaucrats if not trusted.

If they were to ruin someone's personal pages, it would warrant some sort of consequence. They wouldn't have a lot of opportunities to edit others' personal code pages anyway, but this would really come in handy when explaining certain code is like explaining chess to a pigeon.
