There can be as many Administrators as the staff members deem necessary to the operation of the wiki. Promotion and Demotion The Bureaucrats are voted in and out by the staff members, with a simple majority. The Administrators are voted in and out by the staff members, with a simple majority. Miraheze Stewards are permitted to demote democratically-removed or inactive Bureaucrats and Admins, should the staff team be unable to remove them. Democratic removal entails a discussion page being created, and left up for a period of 7 days. A simple majority shall be the deciding proportion.
