The Dead Linger Wiki:Bureaucrats

Bureaucrats are members of the wiki community who have the ability to promote or demote other users (including themselves). This ability is not available to regular users or administrators for practical reasons: bureaucrats are difficult to punish for misbehavior as they can demote anyone with the ability to punish them. Because promotions or demotions don't need to happen very often, the safest option is to keep bureaucratship in the hands of a small group of highly trusted editors. It's important to note that bureaucrats do not decide who gets promoted or demoted, they merely implement the will of the community. If a user is nominated at admin nominations for example, bureaucrats will only promote that person to administrator if there is a consensus to do so. The same goes for demoting administrators or bureaucrats who abuse their privileges. However, in case of emergency, bureaucrats are entitled to demote users first and start a discussion afterwards, restoring their rights if the decision was found to be in error.

By tradition, The Dead Linger Official Wiki has three bureaucrats: Kimberly, H4Z4RD, and ZEUS. Because three bureaucrats is more than enough to fulfill the needs of the wiki, there is currently no process for requesting to become a bureaucrat. Nominations may be opened in the future, if one or more of the trio of bureaucrats resigns or becomes inactive. Note that Zag (User:Geoff Keene) is technically a bureaucrat, but he does not act in this capacity; he should not be sent requests for promotion or demotion.
