→A proposal I've had for quite some time, but feel may be necessary due to increased traffic and recent vandalism

: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) | :I've been thinking about that.

The main issue I see with any sort of "mini-admin that can block/protect/delete" rank is that those kinds of powers are the only ones most people care about. No one's going to want to graduate from that to full adminship if all they're getting is more responsibility with no fun tools. | |||
I'm undecided whether I'm actually against the idea or just having a knee-jerk reaction to change. I suggest maybe you should do up a proper proposal so we don't take over too much of this talk page.
