User blog comment:Sannse/Choosing the Right Admins - Revisited/@comment-256004-20171011192724

As a long-time admin, I have a single criterion for giving someone the Bureaucrat rights: "If I get hit by a bus tomorrow, do I want this guy/girl to take over the wiki for me?" For sysops, it's more like, "Do I trust this guy/girl with the delete button? Will it make what s/he is already doing for the wiki more expedient?"
