Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/bureaucratship

Bureaucrats are administrators with the additional ability to make other users admins or bureaucrats, based on community decisions reached here. They can also change the user name of any other user.

The process for bureaucrats is similar to that for adminship above, but is generally by self-nomination only. The expectation for promotion to bureaucratship is significantly higher than for admin, in terms of numbers of votes, ability to engage voters and candidates, and significant disqualifications. Candidates might consider initiating a discussion here of the prevailing consensus about the need for additional bureaucrats before nominating themselves.

Bureaucrats are expected to determine consensus in difficult cases and be ready to explain their decisions. Vote sections and boilerplate questions for candidates can be inserted using {{subst:Wikipedia:Requests for bureaucratship/Candidate questions}}. New bureaucrats are recorded at Wikipedia:Recently created bureaucrats. Failed nominations are at Wikipedia:Bureaucrat nominees not promoted.

At minimum, study what is expected of a bureaucrat by reading discussions at Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship including the archives, before seeking this position.
