Just noticed earlier looking through Special:ListGroupRights, I saw that Bureaucrats could be able to add users to the group of System Administrators. I thought that was really off, and it must have been a mistake. It seems a little edgy to me. Global bureaucrats should, but not local bureaucrats. Here's what I thought instead might be more fair.

  • Bureaucrats should be able to add these groups..
    • Chat Moderator
    • Bots
    • Patroller
    • Betatest
  • Admins
    • Chat Moderator

Like this, I think it would be more fair (and then there won't be any promotions that shouldn't be happening). What do you think? Codyn329 (talk) 01:36, 5 November 2013 (UTC)


  • Yeah, it seems somewhat strange for bureaucrats to be able to promote sysadmins. Personally, I think admins should be able to add patroller as well as chat mod. Obi the LEGO Fan (talk) 01:49, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
    • Traditionally, on sites like Wikipedia, bureaucrats can do pretty much everything, and admins can't do any of it. I'd be fine with doing it how it is on Wikia, though. Sysops can do Mod and Patroller, and 'crats can do bots and admin. In the meantime, I'll see if I can disable 'crats from promoting sysadmins. I'm sorry I forgot to do this earlier, Cody. :P Drew1200 (talk)
