Hello all members of Yogscast Wiki.

During my time of absence, Supertoastfairy, one of the main contributors and Admins, retired. He may come back sometime, but currently the Wiki Bureaucrat system is beginning to wobble. Yogscast Wiki has 3 Bureaucrats - I, Nixeu, and Aethelhelm. Nixeu is away most of the time, and when he comes back, it is only for a few days. I am Aethelhelm's contributions have been rather unstable in the previous months. I believe this is largely due to my schoolwork and Aethel's job.

I am back and will stay for a month or two, but the current situation is unpredictable, and I may find that I will be unable to edit sooner or later. What do we need to keep the balance of the Wiki? We need Bureaucrats - members who can look over this place as a whole; members who look over other fellow users; members who award contributors with new rights. The current Bureaucrats may not be able to contribute much to the Wiki's cause from now on. I originally planned to give Bureaucrat status to Supertoastfairy in the middle of the year, but with him gone, I need another candidate - another personnel who can take this responsibility.

Even if all 3 of our current Bureaucrats is still active, we would still have to give the right to someone, for this Wiki is growing larger and larger. More users are arriving, pages need taking care of, community voices need to be heard. That's another reason we need another Bureaucrat.

Therefore, on behalf of the Wiki's system and every user, I have decided to elect a new Bureaucrat from a current member of The Admin Team. The two most likely candidates would be ThinWhiteMale and Totallyneena. But however, there is no need to elect right away. A new generation of users have arrived since my absence, and I believe I should give them a chance to demonstrate their abilities.

How you demonstrate your abilities is up to you. I will not be the one to make the decision, the community will be. At the end of April i.e 30th April, a Wiki wide vote will be placed and a candidate elected. If all agrees that this person can become a responsible Bureaucrat, I believe no one will object.

Remember, everyone has a chance to step up and take on that responsibility.

Are we agreed to this decision?
