ISFDB Bureaucrats are ISFDB moderators who also have the Wiki-based "Bureaucrat" flag set on their account. When viewing Moderator-only menu options, they have access to a special "Bureaucrat" menu. The link to the menu appears in the "Moderator Links" navigation bar on the left. Currently, the Bureaucrat menu lists the following options:
- Add New Language
- Add New Award Type
- Manage Self-Approvers. Lets a bureaucrat enter the name of an ISFDB editor and select whether the editor is a self-approver, i.e. able to approve his or her own submissions. Also lists all current self-approvers.
- Re-calculate Marque (most viewed) Authors. Identifies the top 2% of most frequently viewed ISFDB authors. The option then sets the "marque" flag for each identified author record. Marque authors are the only authors which can appear on the front page of the ISFDB Web site.
- ISFDB Control Panel. Lets a bureaucrat change the ISFDB version number, online/offline status and editing status (editing offline, public editing, moderator editing only). Note that changing the ISFDB version number should not be done lightly since it requires a corresponding change to the software. If the value entered in this menu gets out of sync with the software, all ISFDB pages will start displaying highlighted warnings at the top of the change.
- Secondary Verification Sources
- List/Edit Verification Sources. Lets a bureaucrat list all supported secondary verification sources and edit them one at a time. Each secondary verification source records consists of three fields: Label, Name and URL. The Label field is what's displayed on Publication Verification pages, e.g. "Clute/Nicholls" or "OCLC/Worldcat". The Name field contains the full name of the verification source, e.g. "The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, 2nd edition" for "Clute/Nicholls". The URL field contains the URL of the Web page with more information about the verification source, typically an ISFDB Wiki page.
- Add a New Verification Source. Lets a bureaucrat add a new supported secondary verification source. See "List/Edit Verification Sources" above for descriptions of the fields within secondary verification source records.
