:Adminship is commonly seen as a massive burden of responsibility which gives power for tools such as Special:CheckUser, as well as much higher potential for abuse. Users trying to apply for adminship have commonly met with a massive wave of opposition in the past, no matter who they are, and people seem to be averse to handing over the keys for something this large, as well as many of the current rollbackers viewed as most likely admins not wanting the job for similar reasons. Junior adminship could help do most of the tools we need to have for the wiki, but not taking the burden most administrators and candidates for adminship face. <span style="font-family:Magneto">[[User:Air Conditioner|{{Color|Navy|Return of}}]] [[User talk:Air Conditioner|{{Color|#007BA7|Air Conditioner}}]]</span> [[File:AC.png|19px]] Is anyone there?

Well, on both counts (real and junior), the real question is '''Who?''' even if it seems overly diplomatic, there's always the last resort of an election.

:I've been thinking about that. One reason I'm proposing junior adminship is because this wiki is notorious for having RfAs fail, so I'm thinking that it's decided by admins or bureaucrats, given to rollbackers who have shown above-average dedication and goodwill to the wiki, as well as being constantly active. To remove potential of a spoils system, a Junior Adminship appointment will fail in case of extraordinary community backlash. If you want my opinion as to who would make good junior admins as of right now, I'd say Berrenta, Dr. Pain, Havoc, Mr. Crow, Scr7 or myself. I'm not suggesting we make all of these people junior admins, just naming the type of people who would make good candidates. <span style="font-family:Magneto">[[User:Air Conditioner|{{Color|Navy|Return of}}]] [[User talk:Air Conditioner|{{Color|#007BA7|Air Conditioner}}]]</span> [[File:AC.png|19px]] {{S|Template|S}}o you want a good template? 16:13, 22 September 2014 (EDT) | |||
