I decided to move this discussion here from Thread:209740 to not sidetrack the main conversation.

No need to wait for that&mdash;plenty of wikis have multiple bureaucrats (Wookieepedia has three or four) & there's nothing in the literature that precludes SWF from following suit. Besides, "bureaucrats are administrators with a few extra editing tools; they are not meant to be considered bosses or more important than any other administrator or user." I'd be happy to nominate you if you were interested in running for the post. Hint, hint...

I will admit I've been tempted to nominate myself for admin lately. I've really been clogging recent changes with mass edits but there's nothing I can do without the admin's ability to add & remove the bot flag. Additionally, there's only so much automation I can do without the bot user group's lower rate limit or access to the MediaWiki namespace. It's a shame Wikia never implemented Wikipedia's "technical admin" user group in their MediaWiki fork. Regardless, I'm happy at least to know that you think I'd do a good enough job to serve as your right hand. (:
