Deleted Bureaucrat role to rename it
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I wanted to rename this role to something that would be in-universe friendly (Board of Directors) but couldn't figure out how to do that so I copied the role and deleted the original... without assigning the new role to me first. Can we fix that?

Would it be fine if we just reset all roles to their defaults so you can try again?

Is it okay if I reset user groups but rename the bureaucrat role to "Board of Directors"? It is recommended to rename bureaucrat instead of deleting it or else some extension installations might break.

yeah, that's perfect!

I'll still need to be given the role, I believe.

A steward will likely need to manually assign you the role, unless you are in another user group that has managewiki permissions. Also, please stop changing the priority of this task.
