:::The point of the position is to prevent the situation that happened in FEW, where they disappeared and the rest of the wiki went without any burecreates, which meant no new admins or patrollers could be appointed, etc. Had they have a second-in-command to fill in the gap, they could have stepped in and do the promotions as needed. True, the current EiC is good at the moment. I' m just proposing this position as a worst-case-scenario plan. (Same with the idea that the staff can vote to remove an EiC, if they ever disappear.)

::::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) | |||
