I'm not Banana, but I can say that a Bureaucrat is the highest status someone can have on a wiki other than the wiki founder. On community.wikia.com, this is the description of a bureaucrat:

Bureaucrats are exactly the same as regular administrators, although they also have the ability to add and remove rollbackers and administrators, as well as to appoint new bureaucrats. Additionally, they can remove the bot status from any user in case that bot is malfunctioning. However, community consensus is required for the addition of bot status to any user, and can only be performed by Wikia Staff, Helpers or VSTF. The only other difference is that once bureaucrat, that status is permanent, unless if a Wikia Staff member or Helper removes it. A bureaucrat can request another bureaucrat's status to be removed through Special:Contact, but this should only be done if they clearly abuse their privileges. Thanks for listening.

 * A couple of corrections:


 * Bureaucrats don't explicitly have the same powers as admins, they can only block and add groups - however, they can add the admin right to themselves giving them de facto admin powers.
 * Whilst VSTF can add bot flags - we don't do this on request, you should speak to staff for that
 * Bureaucrats can remove their own rights (step down) if they choose
