2949:. I've thought about this for a bit and whilst I think the arguments in support are valid - this is only a technical ability, the current position has arisen slightly by accident rather than design, etc - I am not comfortable with this proposal. I think it is premature to expand the scope of bureaucrats before sorting out the fact that inactive bureaucrats appointed long ago with little (if any) community input may now lack its confidence. I am not convinced that we are doing a good job of handling requests for restoration of admin rights at the moment and worry about an apparent increased willingness by crats to exercise discretion over the objection of other crats without seeking consensus. I worry about pressure being placed on crats to desysop without a community process being in place to provide for it - there are merits to the stewards' independence. At the very least, I would like to see a mechanism for the community to remove 1617:
tasks aside from those they already perform. The type of scrutiny applied to candidates when the ability to desysop is at stake is likely to be quite different than what they currently undergo, and I'm not sure we necessarily want to grant this right to all bureaucrats (particularly those who were selected 5 or more years ago). There will be a time to re-evaluate the role of a bureaucrat with respect to any desysopping process; it will be after such a process is developed or even approaches consensus. I am generally opposed to granting bureaucrats expansive new roles, particularly in dispute resolution and in controversial processes, and I don't see a convincing argument here to change my position.
2554:: There's been no compelling explanation provided here demonstrating any kind of problem that requires solving. And, to the contrary, I think the current system of having an impartial person doing the task of de-adminning is a very good idea. De-adminnings are pretty rare. The process for requesting de-adminship (i.e., going to Meta) is fairly standardized among the 700+ wikis and is common knowledge for most admins. Changing it needlessly here hasn't been justified for a number of reasons. The feigned fear of split logs is also a non-starter. The logs are currently fairly consistent. Adminnings are local; de-adminnings are at Meta. Implementing this will only make 749:
agrees that a mistake was made. As it stands now, the 'crat cannot simply remove the bit, but has to get somebody else to do it. IMO, if a 'crats decision is challenged by other crats, this would become time for a 'crat chat---during which time the candidate should NOT have the bit. But once granted, the 'crat can't remove them. Various abilities generally come with the ability to reverse the action, this makes complete sense as mistakes may occur or situations may arise requiring the reversal.---
621:, each very unlikely and not, on the whole, that horrifying. I fully trust the 'crats with this responsibility and furthermore, it seems the community is aching for it as well. A number of the de-sysop mechanisms that have been proposed at least nudge toward a larger role for bureaucrats, and the RfB bar is set so high that it's logical to give them a small tool worthy of that invested trust. This seems definitely in-line with what is desired here. ~ 100:, there does seem to be both support and justification to take this forward. Given the concerns raised about the possibility of a rogue 'crat turning off all the admins, and also that existing 'crats were not elected under the understanding that they had the power to turn off admins, it would seem appropriate to have a checks and balances discussion on the implications of this proposal. A new discussion, widely advertised, and linking to this and the 3026:- I have read most of the content below, and I still fail to see that there is a problem that requires solving; this seems to me to only be for its own sake. In addition, I dislike the bureaucrat system in general and feel that adding rights would only make it harder for people to get promoted (and it is already far too hard). I would prefer it is the general standards for 'crats were decreased, and we left this to the stewards. 2648:
multiple attempts to clarify, there is nothing I can do. I understand people will choose to misrepresent things for political purposes here in wiki, but reading the two statements at the top of the proposal, to continue to conflate this with CDA or to assume that this gives 'crats any more decisive power seems to take willful thought for whatever motive and there is nothing I or anyone can do about that, unfortunately. --
2974:. Are there any complaints about the response speed of stewards? Usually, when an account is compromised (which is arguably the only situation I can see where it would be useful for local bureaucrats to summary desysop somebody), a steward is available within a minute or so, so I don't see any problems there. Additionally, I find myself agreeing with MZMcBride: we all know that the "desysop log" is in Meta, not here. 2497:
result of this proposal some desysopings will be recorded in the local log, while other in the global (stewards will continue to desysop in some cases). So anyone who wants to know when and by whom an admin 'A' was desysoped would need to check two logs instead of just one now! I think the desire of some bureaucrats to obtain a new powerful userright can lead to a lot of problems. By the way why
599:(which does in fact have a far lower potential for destructive effect anyway)? We don't need a community de-adminship process before granting 'crats this ability. For example, when ArbCom decides to desysop someone, why should we need a steward to flip the switch? A bureaucrat could do it. Why should an admin be required to request their own desysopping at Meta rather than simply posting at 2838:
inconsequential. A well-planned attack of that form could not be stopped by on-wiki activity: the sysadmins would probably have to suspend all permissions from the affected groups until we could sort out from the top down who was supposed to have what. Certainly granting -sysop to bureaucrats does not make such an attack either more likely, or noticeably more damaging.
4254: 1930: 4138:, the logs for their +sysop follow them to their new name, but their -sysop logs do not, and are hence impossible to find unless the user's former name is known (which may not be the case, and at the least requires a lot of digging to uncover). Not only are the logs on a different project, they may not even remain synchronised with the user. 1170:- we should not be relying on stewards, who by their nature may not be particularly familiar with the en-wiki community, to be our sole desysop mechanism. Obviously the methods of when a desysop is appropriate will always be under discussion, but I for one trust our local crats to be more familiar with that than the stewards are. ~ 3201:
with the "tools". I think changing these tools after a person gets made a crat could be unfair to some people that commented in an RfB. I would support this if it my "suggestion" is incorporated. If anyone has a question regarding my oppose, please let me know on my talk page as I won't have this one watchlisted. Thank you.--
162: 3471:
administrators, bureaucrats or arbitrators remain uninvolved in situations where they may have a conflict of interest. I don't see why bureaucrats would not do the same in this situation. I don't have experience in administrative or bureaucratic activities so I may be severely misinformed, but that's how I see it. Regards, --—
3838:. Many people believe the proposal is better; you do not. You are more than welcome to both feel that way and to post your opinions as clearly and forcefully as you can to best state your case. That's exactly what the RfC is for. However the mere fact that things are function now is no excuse not to explore what may be 2532:
will create additional workload on stewards thus undermining one of the arguments in favor of this proposal (c) is not allowed by the current policy because stewards are not permitted to suddenly become bureaucrats here (d) will confuse local uses who might think that the acting steward is a bureaucrat.
4072:
Hammersoft, could you step away from the dead horse and drop the stick? I think anyone reading this page will realise that you don't think the fact that logs logs are currently split between this project and meta is enough to warrant bureaucrats being given the technical ability to remove rights. You
3724:
However, stewards would probably still perform voluntary removals when requested to do so and no English Knowledge bureaucrat performed the task for some time (there is no such thing as an urgent self-requested removal). This is because there is no policy (nor could there ever be) which forces a user
3627:
Ok, but they actually aren't allowed to run CU's in an emergency, as we saw during numerous grawp-attacks when no local checkuser was available or during that weird grawp-attack that required an account to be renamed, in neither case did or could a steward step into the local wikis shoes since we are
3103:
Which has nothing to do with this proposal; even if a user is community banned on ANI, neither 'crat (proposed) nor steward (current) can do anything to the sysop bit without prior authorization from ArbCom, and any one who does would be brought before ArbCom (or complained to the foundation/stewards
2531:
I do not know why simple and meta decided to go that way, but this is irrelevant for this discussion. As to the temporally assigning to themselves the crat's bit before desysosping, I would say that this (a) is impractical in an emergency when a permission should be removed as quickly as possible (b)
1755:
The position of supporters is that it has no bearing. I disagree with that position; there is no misunderstanding. They are intrinsically related, whether or not one is strictly dependent on the other. To put it a different way, I do not believe we would be having this discussion if it weren't for
1672:
Add to my oppose the issue about the logs: many supporters have argued that this change will unify rights logs and make them easier to read. In my view, the current log arrangement is simple - all sysops are local, all desysops are at meta. In this new arrangement, some desysops will be at meta, some
1372:
I would prefer as fast a response as possible if a crat or admin goes rogue. Of course there's the reverse possibility that a rogue crat can decrat and desysop others, but I think that the former would be more damaging than the latter. Plus if they can give crat or sysop status they should be able to
1227:
20:36, 11 January 2010 (UTC) Although MBisanz makes some valid points, I believe too many of the arguments against are really arguments from inertia, or attempts to rationalize what is no more than a historic accident. We trust the bureaucrats to promote and rename users in accordance with policy, we
3957:
Answered above, you disagree. This is not an issue where further discussion helps. I think this proposal is more elegant and efficient than what we have now, even though we can live with the current. You do not. We can play "ring-around-the-rosie" back and forth until the cows come home, since it is
3931:
that is being addressed, but it's certainly something that many, many people have always found confusing about how the bureaucrat userright has traditionally been set up. I'm not sure what's wrong with questioning, and fixing, something that's always struck people as odd; your chief argument against
3428:
Finally, I am aware of at least one crat war at meta-wiki, where a crat closed an RFB as a promotion and another crat disagreed and undid the promotion. As of now this technical feature prevents such an event from occurring and I am not certain that changing it permit such an event to possibly occur
3420:
While crats would in theory (at least I would) only de-flag on user request or on arbcom decision, this new capacity would put crats in the uncomfortable position of seeing a consensus to do something, but being restrained by policy from doing it. I am thinking of several user conduct RFCs and admin
3086:
The ANI threads are just a prediction of what I think may happen if this passes. ANI probably has threads every now and then about someone claiming admin abuse, so it's not unreasonable to think that someone would eventually propose a de-adminship there, which would result in long-winded discussions
1191:
I really think too much of a fuss is being made of this, but whatever. One of the basic principles of the site is that nearly anything is reversible. Because bureaucrats were elected based on the community's trust in their ability to judge consensus, I would have no issue with them judging consensus
3661:
I think Matt's point #3 is an excellent one and I don't is adequately addressed by anyone here. After all, the word "consensus" is used frequently on this page even though there is no process to desysop by consensus (since arbcom doesn't work by consensus but by strict voting). This suggests that
3413:
Stewards will not act if a local wiki has the ability to do something. That means if crats can deflag an admin, stewards will not do it. This is their policy and not ours, so if we approved this change, crats would become the only people capable of de-adminning. Given that the stewards already have
2815:
They could desysop many admins. Stewards are a significantly more trusted group (for example, stewards disclose their identities to the WMF, unlike local bureaucrats). The very small number of local desysopings is not enough to warrant the added security risk. In other words, there is a significant
2647:
But that is more misleading, because that implies that 'crats can make a decision, where this proposal is solely one about flipping a bit after an exogenous determination is made. I've tried to be VERY clear about that in both the proposal and the nutshell; if people continue to misunderstand after
2141:
I find the argument that this proposal needs to be put on hold until CDA "gets done" to be just as uncompelling as you find this proposal. This proposal very clearly restricts the opportunities that the bureaucrats can remove someone's flag (emergency, mistake, or request , which are the exact same
1866:
So what are you suggesting, that bureaucrats should only desysop if the CDA being closed is 100% in favor of desysop???? Come on. This proposal IS linked to CDA. You can't tell me we're not going to have bureaucrats making the decisions at CDA. Unless you intend on creating an entirely NEW class of
1803:
I think your supporters are confused about that. For example, in #20, Joe says, "it's a logical step for them to determine when consensus exists for the bit to be removed," and in #21, Ironholds says, "'crats are trusted to determine consensus to promote; no reason to suggest they can't determine
1616:
There is no current community process that would require bureaucrats (or anyone) to "uncheck the box" on adminship. I think that enabling the technical ability for crats to desysop should be a follow-up step to the creation of such a process. Additionally, bureaucrats have not been selected for any
923:
I've never understood why the bureaucrat toolbox has lacked this ability. I've also been a pretty vocal advocate for there eventually being a community-mandated system in place for removing administrators, and as I consider such a process to be in the (eventual) purview of the bureaucrats, it makes
458:
It's really very simple—if we trust someone to give the bit, we should trust them to take it away again. As Jim Miller said, this has a much lower risk than simply becoming a bureaucrat. Ideally, I'd like this to be combined with a process for actually taking away the bit, rather than on an one-off
76:
I think I may have erred in looking at this. I was looking at the oppose votes as mostly ivotes with little rationale, and the oppose comments as carrying more justification, and then I did a quick calculation in which I took the oppose votes away from the support and that left 38 which I then held
4650:
Another thing to consider when looking at RfA's we often hear that the system is broken. There have been numerous suggestions in the past about ways to fix it or approaches we might take to tweak the process. Various models of "temporary adminship" or "mentorship" are killed (in part) because we
4119:
The logs are a problem. If CDA did not exist I would support this proposal because of the added transparency in the logs it would create. Also, I want to say that I'm very disappointed, as one of the dissenters, in the tone this discussion has taken. There is no need for that at all. I believe
3601:
So for one instance we should prevent something sensible? And let us say that happens with a bot - which can have its bit removed by crats? That is similar to blocking/unblocking, which we allow even though the potential for a wheelwar exists. If that happens again, ArbCom can be called in. Anyway
2859:
IMHO: The attack vector Carl refers to is someone going rogue, not someone gaining control of an account. Theoretically a Steward is less likely to go rogue than an en:wp 'crat, (if you consider identifying to the foundation and having support from more wikis than just en:wp as factors) although I
2760:
I didn't realize you were moving the logs to en.wiki, nor did I realize this was technically possible. I assumed that this proposal would break the log of removals up into two pieces, one on en.wiki and one on meta. Whether they are en.wiki contributors or not, their steward authority comes from a
1902:
And has asking a non-local person ever been a problem? Doesn't seem so. Has going to meta to turn off your bit ever been a problem before? I don't recall any incidents. What problem is this supposed to solve that is currently hampering the project? In a word, nothing. That's what. And I'm sorry, I
748:
It has never made sense to me that they should be. Let's take a hypothetical RfA where Crat_A passes the candidate, but that decision is challenged not by just the general community, but by other 'crats. The community disagrees with the 'crat who promoted the canddidate, and eventually the 'crat
406:
from why they should be able to do so. This discussion is only about the "whether" they should be able to do so when desysopping, for whatever reason, is needed. The only reason one could oppose it is that a rogue crat might run amok and desysop all admins or desysop anyone they like but that same
3712:
Currently, stewards will perform desysops when requested by the English Knowledge's Arbitration Committee. We will also perform them as requested by administrators themselves. Finally, in clear emergencies, we would remove the administrator tools to protect the wiki. For each of these cases, I'll
3384:
will soon find themselves without the bit, and the damage done is very simple to reverse. There is far more risk giving someone the bit, as they could allow unruly bots, and administrators (albeit for not very long before being caught). Solution without a problem or not, I don't see any harm from
3351:
All the comments above (in support and here) have said it better than I. In a nutshell, a 'crat can check the box on for another 'crat, after a successful RfB or a return to 'crat status after a vacation (ala WJB Scribe), so it is logical that they should be able to uncheck the box, in situations
3200:
I oppose this with the current wording. I think this ability should only be given to crats there were promoted after (and if) this gets put into effect. I don't think I've ever commented on an RfB, but I've read some. Some people comment in RfBs based on whether or not they trust the candidate
2558:
of a mess of the logs. How is that a benefit? The stewards are generally available at the same rate as bureaucrats, if not faster—and most of these de-adminnings aren't particular time sensitive anyway. Finally, from reading this page, it seems pretty clear that this is a thinly-veiled attempt to
2430:
I think that would be a fantastic compromise to ensure that the damage done by a rogue bureaucrat (which I still consider unlikely) would be even further minimized. (though that would, in turn, mean that stewards should still be on-hand for emergency de-sysopping, as a 'crat arriving on the scene
669:
I agree with the same sentiment expressed by most (all?) above: bureaucrats are trusted to determine consensus when adding the bit (in either case—RfA or RfB), so it's a logical step for them to determine when consensus exists for the bit to be removed. I also agree that having local control over
4384:
that our 'crats can grant the ability without being able to take it away. The process by which the community allows them to do so is completely irrelevant to this conversation. The wp-en community grants adminship, the wp-en community must be able to remove it without requiring intervention from
4379:
original question, the problem that this is meant to solve is that this entire process, from implementation, has been broken. Like many of our procedures, removing the sysop bit relies on an ability that is not an integral part of our processes here at wp-en. The process has been broken from the
3056:
Without much compelling arguments to show flaws with the current system, this is extra buttons for the sake of extra buttons. We really don't need those dreadful ANI threads where a user proposes a desysoping (whether frivolous or not) and then a bureaucrat has to decide consensus, which is made
2496:
As I understand this is another solution in a search of a problem. It was mentioned by some that it can solve the problem with logs. I think this is a bizarre suggestion, because it can only make the log mess much worse. Now all +bits are in the local log, while -bits are in the global one. As a
598:
Certainly. It's a good idea to keep these things local (as opposed to on Meta), and bureaucrats are already considered our most trustworthy users. Jim Miller hits the nail on the head: If we trust bureaucrats not to sysop without consensus, why shouldn't we trust them with the ability to desysop
588:
I don't see any reason why we can't keep things local. If anyone's worried about bureaucrats desysopping people for no reason at all, I'm sure any bureaucrat who did that would have their bureaucrat rights removed pretty quickly. I'm also not worried about inactive bureaucrats having the feature
432:
Absolutely. There is no reason for them to be only able to go one way. People say that if they abuse it and remove all admin bits, we'll be in a deep hole. However, they're already trusted not to sysop people without an RfA. In my opinion, being able to sysop everyone is much more dangerous than
3546:
Interesting point, but if that is the case then it really is entirely irrelevant, because what Wikipedians percieve is irrelevant. What is true is what counts, at least in theory. We trust bureaucrats to make consensus-based decisions, and if they cannot act impartially, as Avi says below, they
2179:
I really fail to see how that's relevant to this proposal. You're arguing that the bureaucrats may not be the ones to close a future CDA system. Alright, that's fine; perhaps a different group will. What does that have to do with allowing bureaucrats to undo mistakes, or to be the ones to make
4348:
How does it "make it worse"? I simply do not agree with Ruslik's reasoning. If this proposal is enacted, then in maybe 90% of cases going forwards, you wouldn't need to look in the global rights log because it would be right there in front of you in the local log. If you see two sequential

an army of socks with illegal permissions. Compared to the (disruptive but almost entirely reversible) damage that a thousand admin-vandals rampaging around the site deleting pages and unblocking each other would do, the fact that a thousand legitimate admins were desysopped in the proces is
3470:
I can't refute point two, but points three and four seem to be focused around the same idea of a 'crat being biased towards a decision if they're somehow involved in the "enwiki affair". Why is this any different to any system we have in place today? It has always been a firm advisement that
2628:
Exactly. I'm not saying I haven't used these tactics before myself, but there are definitely some deliberate attempts to downplay this discussion, from the page title to the notification on various noticeboards. Want to bet if I changed the section headers from "Bureaucrat Unchecking RfC" to
4049:
It'd be lovely if you could take a time out of your badgering Avi (who it's looking like you have a personal dislike for outside the confines of this proposal) and address my statement above; I think I did a fairly reasonable job of answering your repeated call for a problem this address.
3736:
Let me emphasize that these are my opinions; I expect they'd be discussed on stewards-l as necessary before this is implemented. Of course, if the English Knowledge community decides that they still wish to have stewards perform Arbitration Committee-mandated removals, we would oblige.
4160:
I've asked WHY having the logs on separate servers is a problem, to which there's been no answer. I've asked how the vacation bit suspension has been problem, to which there is no answer. And on it goes. Yet, I'm the one who apparently has a personal problem with Avi. Utter disbelief,
3583:
themselves the CU/OS on the wiki prior to running the check. This is different firstly, as changeuserrights is something stewards have by nature anyway, and two, all of us are clear that we would like them to be available in cases of emergency (as they are in CU/OS anyway). When it is
1784:
a crat can flip the bit instead of a steward. Antecedents and consequents. It is there for completeness, because it is in current discussion, but in no way shape or form does THIS proposal allow a crat to "make a decision". Even if CDA is approved, it is still not clear WHO makes the
589:
either: they don't use their current bureaucrat tools, and I don't think that any of them would start using them just to desysop people for fun (I don't remember admins who hadn't been active for years coming back in huge numbers when the ability to give out rollback was introduced).
2112:
That is still up for discussion and completely independent of this. If this fails and that passes, the crats will decide and then contact a steward. If that fails and this passes, arbcom/voluntary/emergency are still the only desysoping procedures but a 'crat could flip the bit. --
3716:
When your Arbitration Committee orders that an administrator be desysopped, a bureaucrat from this wiki would perform the job. I don't anticipate there would ever be a case where a steward would perform the task instead of a local bureaucrat - but perhaps I simply lack imagination
3973:
You're saying it's answered above, but you've not shown anything conclusive that this solves, other than it's a new process to improve the project but with a nebulous feel-good aspiration for it. Can you or can you not identify a problem this actually solves? Answer the question.
3424:
Stewards by their nature are impartial since they do not edit enwiki. Crats are by their nature highly involved in enwiki affairs. Desysopping, both due to the social stigma of it and the social consequences for the person performing it, seems better left to entirely uninvolved
3421:
recalls which indicated a broad consensus that someone should resign as an admin and pair that with the moans that arbcom is a cabal refusing to desysop fellow admins quickly. The same complaints would be placed on crats who refuse to implement an RFC or admin recall decision.
3646:
Re #1, They would have, I believe, had need been severe enough. Re #2, my point was that stewards edit here frequently and can be trusted to control themselves, so merely being frequent editors of a wiki does not make someone have an inherent COI --either steward or crat. --
1630:
To address the "emergency/voluntary" situations directly: has there been a problem with such requests through stewards in the past? I'm not aware of any situation where a delay encountered by the inability to reach a steward caused any significant problems in this project.
4507:
What is interesting, at least to me, is that I am on record opposing CDA (although I have taken part in the conversation in regards that IF it comes about, there are safeguards I would want to see put in) so, at least for me, this continued conflation is frustrating :D --
131:, is there consensus to allow bureaucrats to manually uncheck the sysop/crat bit when instructed per policy (currently by ArbCom, uncontroversial request by admin or crat to remove their own bit, in emergency desysop situations that would normally require a steward, and 4757:). Participation is actually much lower than in the previous poll (89 against 122). So, this poll can not be used to gauge consensus. At best it can serve as the first stage of a long process, which needs to be followed by a better organized and advertised discussion. 4651:
can't burden the Stewarts with that responsibility. If we granted 'crats the ability to remove the bit, then we will open up the doors for actual reform at RfA. Plus, if adminship really isn't that big of a deal, then it needs to be easier to move into and out of.---
2516:
Simple and Meta have their crats doing the removal so there is no "clean" log for all of wikimedia. Furthermore, in an emergency desysop, the steward could just grant themselves the 'crat bit and keep the log on EnWiki, the same way they do emergency OS and CU now. --
3733:. Since stewards are specifically elected to provide something closer to 'round-the-clock coverage than the English Knowledge's bureaucrats are, it wouldn't be unlikely that stewards would still perform that task. Your bureaucrats are not known for high availability. 2731:
Sure it does. It allows bit vacations to happen at the same place the restorations occur and keeps the logs on EnWiki. As for uninvolved parties, the stewards who respond here most often are EnWiki contributors (Lar, Cary, Pathoschild) so that is an error as well. --
3455:
Re (1), the hundreds of suppressions by stewards on enwiki suggest this is no longer the case. If we make it clear we are happy for stewards to continue to desysop in emergency cases, I am sure they will to do so even if crats gain the ability to do so as well.
3278:
part is not really discussed in the sections above. So without taking a stance on the issue myself, I'd like to pose the question: Should bureaucrats have the technical ability to de-crat other bureaucrats as well, or should that only be reserved for stewards?
1804:
any consensus to demote." Their rationales suggest that they are indeed imagining bureaucrats determining consensus, not just flipping the metaphorical switch. I believe you that this was not your intention, but I'm not sure it was as clear as it might be.
4004:
Fine. Then can you please answer (1) has this ever been a problem? Requests not handled properly or timely? Backlogged? (2) Does having the logs on separate projects create some problem I'm not aware of? (3) Only happened once and it's a problem to solve?
3313:
Yeah, basically. It's not exactly a common process, so there's not too much to worry about. Besides, if de-cratting was something that ever needed to be done ASAP, we might as well have the chance for someone here to do it faster, and for nicer logs. ~
4882:
I used a crude method (links on page, convert from talk pages, eliminate duplicates and pages with a /) and that gave 151 pages with only 32 who also showed up in this discussion. And yes, I know there's 1 missing. I was never a good mathematician ;p
2244:? I don't think so. Would reconfirming every 'crat be a huge waste of time? Yes. Also, this is a solution looking for a problem (as was said above): can anyone point to a specific case where local-desysopping would have provided any advantage at all? 3871:
I also think this proposal should be put on ice until the CDA advocates finish up their work. If (and God help us is it does) passes, we'll have an answer as to who closes CDAs, not a nebulous indecisive cloud that might or might not be bureaucrats.
2383:
How many rogue admin accounts have there been, ever? How many rogue bureaucrat accounts have there been, ever? How is there a higher chance for a compromised bureaucrat account than a compromised steward account? (a rogue steward would be far,
739:- If bureaucrats are trusted to make administrators, they should also have to power to take the mop away. Agree with Amory that the RfB bar is set quite high for the 'crats, so this is a logical duty for them. Talk about having been vetted! 374:
Yes. If crats can hand out the admin bit, they should also be able to remove it - there's no reason for it to be a one-way process. As we're limiting the use of this proposed ability to uncontroversial cases, I don't see any problems with it.

I agree with most of the above and see no reason to change anything. Also, I think we could have named this RfC in a way that actually describes what it relates to, and not some obscure title like "Bureaucrat Unchecking" (yes, I know that's

In every case of desysopping, it would be preferable to have a local log keeping track of it. As it is, the logs are split between meta and enwiki, which makes them less useful and more cumbersome to review. This is the biggest benefit, IMO.
4581:
That is 1) subject to change and 2) irrelevant to this discussion. Even if this fails, if that passes, 'crats may or may not have a role. And if that fails, this will determine who should be handling the rights losses on a process basis. --

the same way they do to get it back (uncontroverisal, of course). When ArbCom decides that such-and-such user needs to be desysopped based on an RFaR, they can ask a local crat instead having to go to Meta. It's rather clear, actually. --

I do think that if there is a crat who desysops without consensus, they will be quickly decratted themselves. These crats were chosen to judge consensus fairly, and desysopping fits into the category of consensus-judging as sysopping.

This seems like a good (and obvious) idea. The recent farrago where it took forever to get the bit taken from Cremepuff at the point where everyone thought the account was compromised is one reason, keeping the records in one place is

This will also become even more useful if community de-adminship is ever approved. 4635:.
