Before anything please read this comment from Garland, posted on the reformation page:

" I think a clause should be made concerning just how many people are in charge of the wiki. We really need to put a limit on it, because the promotion requests I see popping up left and right are ridiculous. It's no secret that the wiki's population has decreased, and therefore we don't need ten users with power when five would do.

'''If I were to suggest some numbers, I'd say never let there be no more or less than three administrators operating the wiki, one being a bureaucrat. Obviously having one administrator wouldn't work out; if there's only two they'd tend to agree with each other too often and nothing would get done; if we have four, it makes voting awkward; and five is just too much. Three seems like a decent number in that it keeps a balanced equilibrium of power and us regular users don't become intimidated by admins galore. As for rollbacks, I don't see why we should need more than two at any given time. It's essentially a meaningless position anyways; they're basically admins that can't ban people. For chat moderators, we honestly shouldn't need more than one or two. Firstly because chat isn't as frequented as it use to, and therefore there's not as much rule-breaking to oversee. Secondly, there's almost always an administrator in chat, and I don't think we need a whole SWAT team of people with special stars next to their names outnumbering us in chat."'''

What he says is (at least in my mind) very true. I know there is a heavy amount of opposition to this idea- myself originally included. But I do think 3 is a solid and necessary number of administartors.

Obviously, right now we're in the midst of a promotion request as it is-although support is certainly dominating. I'm not saying we should just throw another promotion request out there, considering all of the newest mods are 1 week old, but I suggest we begin seeking a third admin. Dat is all. Danke for reading.

Prease provide input because no matter if its oppose or support, these conversations:

-Fuel Activity

-Shed necessary light on good topics

-Point out flaws and/or good parts of the "bill"
