Administrators (commonly referred to as admins or less commonly sysops) are a group of trusted users on the Minecraft Wiki, that have the ability to perform many actions that normal users can't. These include editing pages in the MediaWiki namespace, protecting/unprotecting pages, blocking/unblocking users, deleting/undeleting pages, patrolling edits, rollbacking edits, modify abuse filters, and much more.

Demoting inactive admins
Administrators who have been inactive in the past year, or have made very few edits in the last year with no admin actions, may be demoted for inactivity.

If this is the case for an admin, they will first need to be notified both via their talk page and via email. After this, they will have a week or so to respond, and if they do respond and specifically say that they still need their administrator right, it would not be removed. If an admin who was demoted for inactivity becomes active again, they should get their admin right back.

Bureaucrats
Bureaucrats are a user group that has the ability to change the user groups of others and themselves. Specifically, all bureaucrats have the following user rights:


 * Block a username, hiding it from the public
 * Edit all user rights
 * Modify abuse filters
 * Modify abuse filters with restricted actions
 * Not be affected by rate limits
 * Override the spoofing checks
 * Overwrite existing files uploaded by oneself
 * View abuse filters
 * skipcaptcha

All bureaucrats should also be in the administrator user group, meaning that in addition to having all the rights listed above, they should also have all of the rights that normal admins have. The rules that apply to demoting inactive admins apply to bureaucrats as well.
