I think that seeing there are disagreements, these should be solved before trying to implement an admin. Don't jump straight at the voting part, Mell, in a place so based in collaboration you need to solve discords first thing.

Aside from what Nat said, I'd like to add something:

You seem to believe that the reticence you're noticing is because of some dictatorial minds... But the truth is, some new editors pop up wanting to help: these are great news! They haven't contributed that much yet but to do a certain thing they're asking for rights that have the ability to harm the wiki. Uhm... well, wariness is normal here. The coding part is important though, you need admin rights to do it and this site is lacking in personal, therefore yes, someone must become one.

BUT, when someone becomes admin is also because they know the policies, the several areas that a wiki have and how they need to be improved. If a quick decision needs to be taken they'll be the one in charge. Even if you are focused in one particular matter you don't really have the privilege to neglect the other parts. Which leads to my next point.

Yea. Coding is important. But all you have been talking about is that. Nobody has said anything about contents (let me remind you a wiki is about information). The only other aspect touched upon the wiki has been the criticism at the current policies, which were believed to be just Nat's invention (but I assume it was just a confusion so we can move on from that).

Anybody wanting to become an admin has proposals for other areas of the wiki. An admin is a highly trusted member of the community who takes part in everything (because yeah, there's a hierarchy and an admin is not only someone who has rights). This also means eating the heavy stuff of writing 10k summaries long when chapters are released + fill what's missing of old arcs. I have checked some wiki pages and your profiles, the pages that have been contributed the most since you joined have not been the result of any of the new aspirants to get adminship. What are your plans regarding this?

Your earn the trust, you can't demand it. You probably think we believe our opinions are more important or whatever, but look at the situation from the afar, the weight of your contributions is the only thing that matters in a wiki and you are acknowledged in relation to that. You don't have those yet nor seem to be replying to other people's concerns, being so obstinated on your goals. Obviously there are some reticences.

(I must leave but I'll say something about the splitting sections thing today, Taka)
