Along with the normal responsibilities and abilities of an administrator, bureaucrats can rename users, and must keep an eye on [[SpongeBob Wiki:Changing username]] for new rename requests.

Bureaucrats can demote themselves if they choose to step down from the rank, and can give themselves or other users [[SpongeBob Wiki:Bots|bot]] status temporarily so that large-scale maintenance work does not flood [[Special:RecentChanges]], although this is rarely necessary. | ||
Bureaucrats are also required to step in in the rare occurrence of administrators or patrollers making mistakes, such as giving inappropriate [[MarioWiki:Warning policy|warnings]] or otherwise abusing their power and authority. While the staff as a whole discuss these matters behind the scenes, any corrective measures (e.g. removing a warning provided by an administrator) should be done by a bureaucrat so that there can be no challenges to the ruling. It is expected that bureaucrats stay on top of all admin discussions and important wiki matters, and are willing to take the initiative whenever strong leadership is needed. | Bureaucrats are also required to step in in the rare occurrence of administrators or patrollers making mistakes, such as giving inappropriate [[MarioWiki:Warning policy|warnings]] or otherwise abusing their power and authority.
