Template:@Bureaucrats
Usage[edit]
The {{@Bureaucrats}} template can be used to send a notification to Bureaucrats. For example:
{{@Bureaucrats}} This is a notification for all Bureaucrats. ~~~~
The template works on any talk page or project-space page on Wikipedia. It is subject to the limitations of the notification system; in particular, the comment that includes it must be signed.
Note[edit]
Bureaucrats not wishing to receive echo notifications via this template may <!-- comment out--> their usernames from the list at Template:@Bureaucrats.[1]
Advisory notice[edit]
Be aware that using this template will send a notification to every member of the usergroup listed. Ask yourself if that is what you mean to do or if there is a need to do so.
The template is not intended to alert Bureaucrats to common-or-garden tasks undertaken as part of their day-to-day role. Neither is it intended to alert them to an issue any other editor can resolve. In most cases there is no emergency, and a note at the Bureaucrats' noticeboard would probably suffice. This template should generally be used as a notification of a particular procedural or behavioral problem that would otherwise interfere with the smooth running of a process within their purview. Examples, not exhaustive, might include severe trolling, long-term abuse, socking, or gross incivility.
