Bureaucrats are generally chosen from the most trusted admins, so are "leaders" in that sense, but are not always leaders in the sense of being top rank and running the wiki.

There are many ways to organise a wiki Yes, and communities are part of policy making as well in (at least some of) those cases. My point is that the 'crat has to enforce the policies of the community. Again, assuming the 'crat is fair or enforces said policies.

Again, the 'crat should be the first to hear about Admin behaviors, rather than CC. Having direct knowledge about the community and authority over Admins.

In the case pointed out, the 'crat would speak of where to petition the community (if the circumstances warranted/enveloped such action).
