Is there anyway to prevent non-admin users from inserting templates??? And is it admin or beurocrat (bad spelling!) that have higher athority and control?Mand'alor Skyobiliviator The Devastator 03:55, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

No, a template can be used by anyone. Admins and Bureaucrats usually have the same level of power, Bureaucrats can just give out user rights.--GodPray  03:58,8/22/2011 
Then what's the use of two different ranks??? And how come when I add a template in wookieepedia, it said my actions are harmful?Mand'alor Skyobiliviator The Devastator 04:06, August 22, 2011 (UTC)
A bureaucrat is an extra responsibility, separate from admins. All Admins dont need to be bureaucrats. As for Wookipedia, they likely have some custom js or something to warn users of things.--GodPray  04:09,8/22/2011 
On Wookieepedia, the addition of scroll boxes are regulated by policy; they are only necessary when there are 15+ unique references. Additionally, bureaucrats are the ones who can assign administrator and bureaucrat rights as well as remove them. Cheers, TK999 11:38, August 22, 2011 (UTC)
Oh, so the Bureaudude got more power then? Since he could give out ranks.Mand'alor Skyobiliviator The Devastator 00:40, August 23, 2011 (UTC)
Bureaucrats can make other bureaucrats, but not demote them. A bureaucrat needs to ask Wikia to demote other bureaucrats. A bureaucrat can demote admins (aka sysops), though. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 23 Aug 2011 9:07 PM Pacific
