Sorry, are you
saying it's not possible to desysop User:@pple@enwiki
using the stewards' tool?
That's not the case. User rights can changed by user ID as well as by
user name. So, you'd just enter #3685614@enwiki instead. You can find
a user ID by exporting a page they've written -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Export/User:@pple
Gee, is that the only work-around? I'm not sure many stewards would
remember how to do that in an emergency. Is this written in the
interface of the stewards' tool as something to try if they get an
error?
