(Thanks for the post, I came here today looking for where to discuss this)

From the email " the admins of Wikia's biggest and most successful communities. ", so I believe it's to do with the size of the wiki, "Admins of Top Wikis" would be a better title, although I would still like to know the criteria.

I've checked the list of wikis by number of pages, and the wiki I admin isn't exactly amongst the largest. It's certainly not one of the most active. (edit: I checked, and it's the 736th english largest by number of articles. Maybe they send the email to the admins of the top 1000 wikis.  Also, it says there's 1500 articles, when there are only 1022.)

I agree that additional blogs would be better than emails. Admins of large wikis are still just ordinary users and should not be treated any differently.

I took the poll, and was amused at the question along the lines of "I think that as an admin of a large wiki, I should get support priority" - I'm hoping that question is just there so Wikia staff can identify which admins have entitlement issues, because an admin who thinks they should be treated any differently than any other user should be immediately demoted.

I appreciate wikia giving extra attention to admins, but to do so at the exclusion of non-admins is unjust and goes against the established creed that "admins aren't special".

Edit: I understand that the poll itself is geared towards admins, and it's sensible to exclude non-admins in order to eliminate noise.

Edit: I didn't realise I wouldn't be able to go back to the poll after I finished it:  any someone who hasn't submitted the poll yet please copy/paste the options?
