If we were to ignore the making new templates and stuff (since it is difficult to find anyone willing to do it or is capable of designing for the Wiki), then we really need someone who can clean up the pages. There are false information spread around the Wiki, and some people are occassionally coming back to make false update pages. It escalates to a bigger problem because the Chinese and Russian people visit this Wiki as well. It often spreads to a lot of communities, and it gives people false hope. We need a new admin that is keen of eradicating this type of things.

We also need someone with a bare minimum knowledge of templates so that the information can be updated. I'm working on a painfully complicated Pro Kit Formula template, and I need someone who can use it. I don't need anyone to make it, just someone that can understand how it works and use it in the pages.

However, both of these jobs do not really require an admin to do it. I guess we can appoint someone as an admin IF we can set out the obligations right. Let's be honest, all 3 of us (excusing Lucinda since she quit, and Smosh...probably returned to editing Smosh Wiki) haven't be able to offer much lately. If we appoint a new admin without any sort of adminship obligations, then this new admin will probably not do much as well.

Argh! It's a pain when dealing with human beings! I checked DracoCentaur's contribution history, and it is mostly related to commenting... If he choose to become more active in order to fulfill the role of an admin, then it is worth considering him as a candidate. Anyway, I guess this means I need to stop being lazy and actually draw up the regulations regarding adminship.

I'll go sleep now, and write something up 6-8 hours from now. After we checked it through together, and believe that it is appropriate, then we can release it to the public.
