Bureaucrats
Bureaucrats are AboutUs people who have bureaucrat rights.
These users are also systems operators. Aside from the responsibilities of sysophood (need to clarify that one :-) ), bureaucrats have the ability to grant (and revoke) systems operator or bureaucrat status to other people. This ability is used periodically to ensure the wiki has an ample number of active, capable administrators.
Bureaucrats can also rename peoples accounts.
A list of bureaucrats can be found here, please leave a message on any of their talk pages.
(How would one go about contacting a bureaucrat? Just leave a message on this page? What if one wanted to contact them privately? Just noticed a suggestion to contact them that led to this page, which gives a definition but not contact instructions. -Pete 22:41, 2 January 2008 (PST))
