The Bureaucrats' noticeboard is a place where items related to the Bureaucrats can be discussed and coordinated. Any user is welcome to leave a message or join the discussion here. Please start a new section for each topic.

This is not a forum for grievances. It is a specific noticeboard addressing Bureaucrat-related issues. If you want to know more about an action by a particular bureaucrat, you should first raise the matter with them on their talk page. Please stay on topic, remain civil, and remember to assume good faith. Take extraneous comments or threads to relevant talk pages.

If you are here to report that an RFA or an RFB is "overdue" or "expired", please wait at least 12 hours from the scheduled end time before making a post here about it. There are a fair number of active bureaucrats; and an eye is being kept on the time remaining on these discussions. Thank you for your patience.

To request that your administrator status be removed, initiate a new section below.

After my little excursion to a hospital and following medical rehabilitation I feel I am up to adminning again. I made some edits the last months, but have read a lot more than I edited. Please restore my admin bit. Lectonar (talk) 09:11, 6 August 2026 (UTC)

Desysop request made two months ago, no issues seen here, standard hold in place. Primefac (talk) 21:13, 6 August 2026 (UTC)

 Done Welcome back. -- Amanda (she/her) 06:25, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

I just realized I did that time conversion wrong and did this about 3 hours early...my mistake. I will leave it in place, and if there are issues, we can reverse as needed, but given the no comment so far, I don't feel we need to reverse it right away. -- Amanda (she/her) 06:27, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

Thank you...I promise not to touch the buttons for some hours more. Lectonar (talk) 06:51, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

Outrageous. Be right back, getting my pitchfork :) –Novem Linguae (talk) 00:01, 8 August 2026 (UTC)

@AmandaNP: Hate doing the time zone conversions! If you don't have the "Add a clock to the personal toolbar that displays the current time in UTC and provides a link to purge the current page" gadget, it was a godsend for me. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 00:36, 8 August 2026 (UTC)

User:StaractionBot needs a flag!

StaractionBot (t · th · c · del · cross-wiki · SUL · edit counter · pages created (xtools · sigma) · non-automated edits · BLP edits · undos · manual reverts · rollbacks · logs ^{(blocks · rights · moves)} · rfar · spi · cci) (assign permissions)^{(acc · ap · ev · fm · mms · npr · pm · pc · rb · te · taiv)}

• Went through BRFA at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/StaractionBot 2, but the bot flag was never extended from trial and has now expired. Unless I'm missing something there's no indicator for the 'crats that this has happened so I've come here to BN instead. Thanks. Staraction (talk · contribs) 07:11, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
