::::I don't see that being an issue here since we have 2 or 3 (depending on if you only count wiki activity or not) active crats. {{User:Pinkyoshifan/sig}} 16:24, 11 February 2021 (UTC) | ::::I don't see that being an issue here since we have 2 or 3 (depending on if you only count wiki activity or not) active crats. {{User:Pinkyoshifan/sig}} 16:24, 11 February 2021 (UTC) | ||
:::::I don't honestly understand the strong opposition to the AEiC role; as Tacopill said, it's basically in case the current EiC disappears or just cannot continue with the position. If you see it like a vice-president, I think the role's purpose become clearer. In that case, both could be elected together, and perhaps the AEiC doesn't need to be promoted to bureaucrat unless they need to step up to then become the EiC in case the current one steps down. While you could argue the wiki's bureaucrat are already the "leads" of the wiki, and if the EiC isn't around they fulfill that role, I think the job of an EiC is different than of a bureaucrat, which is why I think it's must better to have us also elect a AEiC in case they are ever needed. Plus, we never know what may happen in the future: right now we only have a small number of bureaucrats, it's not impossible to have most or all become inactive or step down at some point. Hard to predict, and honestly I would rather be safe than sorry, even if the possibility is probably low. {{User:Gigi/sig}} 16:43, 11 February 2021 (UTC) | :::::I don't honestly understand the strong opposition to the AEiC role; as Tacopill said, it's basically in case the current EiC disappears or just cannot continue with the position.

::Proportionally speaking, there is a high amount of Crats to active users on this site, the possible introduction of more seems unnecessary. SmashWiki sees drastically more people on its site and it only has 3 crats. More higher level staff is not necessary as long as the current ones remain somewhat active.

==I've been thinking about it. | |||
Yeah, truth be told I am not fond of the entire set-up here because it just seems wholly unnecessary. I think just because a system failed on a presumably (though I could be wrong) less popular wiki doesn't mean that a system needs to be imposed on every wiki there is. Wikirby is significantly active and there is an open flow of communication from both users and staff that if something were to happen that there would be ways around it. If things lessened, we could immediately look to new alternatives. I don't think I could say the same for something like Wikibound, which is lucky to see any more than ten edits a week, and without a significant head of the program active (current EIC hasn't made an edit since September of last year). I think the EIC yearly election or fill in standard really only needs to be done on wikis that don't have a terribly active base and/or with fewer than 2 crats active. Thats just my opinion, at the least, but I again just do not see the point in creating another whole system to learn, manage, and deal with probably ''maybe'' once in the next forseeable 3 years.
