:This is not globally allowed per [[:meta:Local_elections#Removing_bureaucrats]] but with consuls. Changing this policy must be discussed at Meta [[User:Naleksuh|Naleksuh]] ([[User talk:Naleksuh|talk]]) 06:38, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
::The article you linked says "by default". I tested it on my wiki, and yes, it's absolutely possible to grant bureaucrats the ability to demote other bureaucrats. The article also says that it's ''not'' a policy [[User:Collei|Collei]] ([[User talk:Collei|talk]]) 07:02, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
::: The purpose of the page isn't about what the interface allows, it's about the policy on how it can and cannot be used. Removing the managewiki group is supposed to be done by a steward. If a consul were to do it, the user whose groups were removed would have every right to have a steward put them back. '''Stewards are delegated the removal, and this is a long standing custom for many years'''. [[User:Naleksuh|Naleksuh]] ([[User talk:Naleksuh|talk]]) 07:05, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

:::{{hidden ping|Naleksuh}}{{hidden ping|Collei}} Moved to comments because that's the appropriate venue, and as far as I'm concerned, each wiki makes its own policy. That's also been the custom for years. [[User:BrandonWM|BrandonWM]] ([[User talk:BrandonWM|talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/BrandonWM|contribs]]) 15:18, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
