Hello. Lord Ghiraim - I don't think I have answered any requests that you commented on yet, but I would always leave a message if I thought you were giving out mis-information.

You are correct that wikias are community owned projects. Founders, admins, bureaucrats, etc. simply have a few extra tools and responsibilities; they are still part of that community. On some wikias bureaucrats promote other users as they wish, but on many there are either set criteria to be promoted, and/or open community votes for promotions. The latter is ideal. In the case of a community with no active admins/bureaucrats, the community should decide who to promote to leadership. This is why adoptions require community discussions.
