User blog comment:Epicnail/Regarding future promotions/@comment-4328703-20150905150306

I agree to the Chat Mod and Rollback one, but I do disagree with the admin one. You're saying that being chatmod/rollback is its own sepparate thing from admin but I would argue that it is very important to be one of those before admin.

While I myself was promoted straight to admin, I do know what it takes to be admin and how you need an array of social skills from determining how to diffuse a situation to delivering justice. Those kind of tools can be aquired (and sharpened) through being a rollback/chat mod.

I would also argue that being staff on another wiki does not imply that they'd be good staff on another wiki. I know a lot of users here are either staff on Drawer or Four/Five Stars, communities which are mostly inhabited by friends. Being staff on a wiki such as those are not as hard as being an admin on a wiki based on a popular series (such as this one) in where half of the editors here we have never seen before.

Here's what I'm going to suggest:

You are required to have at least 5 months of experience as staff on this wiki before being promoted to admin.
