About the admin on other wiki rule, I didn't mean it like that. I should reword it to mean something like "you need to know what admins can do and how to do admin things"

And about the 5,000 edit thing, only 14 users currently meet both the 5,000 contrib and the 1,000 article edit requirements, and requiring 7,500 would only narrow it down to 12.

Meat, DWAS, Piet, Ynkr, and Steeler, Coupe and probs a lot more got admin/crat below 5,000 edits too, so increasing it anymore than that would be ehh
