Auto-updating admin count
[edit]This page cites Wikipedia:List of administrators for the current number of admins, which is prone to being out of date. But that page also suggests using {{NUMBEROFADMINS}} to check the number. I'm not sure it's appropriate to use that directly in a main article, but it seems like it would be an expedient way to keep the number accurate.

- Looks like someone made this change a month later.

Bureaucrats
[edit]I recently added content about bureaucrats here. I notice that they are mentioned in the previous paragraph so if anyone has any idea on how to better consolidate this information, I'd appreciate it. Stronger sourcing for The vote is described as a "consensus building process", but in practical reality those above 75% support will pass, those below 65% will fail, and those in between are in the "discretionary zone" and subject to further discussion by Wikipedia's bureaucrats, another group of advanced permission holders whose role it is to determine and enact a consensus in certain situations
would be welcome as well. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 17:41, 30 July 2025 (UTC)
