Category talk:Wikipedia bureaucrats open to recall

Category title
Ideally, all bureaucrats would be subject to recall, and we wouldn't need a category. Pending such a universal process, however, I support this category as a step in the right direction, and commend the bureaucrats who have already joined it. First things first: Category:Administrators open to recall was eventually recreated as Category:Wikipedia administrators open to recall, with the former page now a category redirect. Should this category likewise become Category:Wikipedia bureaucrats open to recall, in line with Category:Wikipedia bureaucrats? Tim Smith (talk) 05:13, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I saw that after a bit, but didn't want to change it as some had already joined and it didn't seem like a big deal. Was there some important reason it was changed in CAT:AOR? Avruch  T 00:00, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The naming convention is that 'All administrative categories should have "Wikipedia" (without a colon) as part of the name'. For CAT:AOR, the idea was to make clear that it is a Wikipedia-specific category involving not administrators in general, but Wikipedia administrators in particular.  The parent category was already Category:Wikipedia administrators.  Similarly, this category is not for bureaucrats in general, but Wikipedia bureaucrats in particular.  Category:Wikipedia bureaucrats already follows this convention.  No one would have to rejoin; we could just recategorize them under the new name. Tim Smith (talk) 02:48, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Update: Following its initial creation at Category:Bureaucrats open to recall and a short stint at Category:Wikipedia Bureaucrats open to recall, the category is now at Category:Wikipedia bureaucrats open to recall. Tim Smith (talk) 17:03, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Needed?
I'm not sure I see the need for a separate process for bureaucrats. For one thing, this page doesn't clarify whether bureaucrats subject a successful recall request would lose their bureaucrat and sysop bits, or just the 'crat flag. If it's the former, then it doesn't make much sense, since we already have AOTR. – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 00:57, 9 December 2009 (UTC)


 * I think the latter is the intention. The page says: "Bureaucrat recall affects the bureaucrat flag only, and not administrator or any other status." Tim Smith (talk) 16:38, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
