Hi Dinoguy! :)

What I'd love to have is a - pardon the pun - unbureaucratic solution. Something a single admin can quickly decide without having to ask anybody for permission and without having to think about such consequential questions as: Do I really want to promote this person to adminship? If you know in advance that the privilege is only temporary and can be revoked by a regular admin, it all becomes much much simpler.

@Forsbern: That's true a crat can grant and revoke adminship. If the person who needs help happens to be a crat, then things are easy. But what if he's "merely" an admin? Crats are difficult to come by on some wikis. Given the choice between editing by proxy and finding the crat, I usually opt for the former - even though it's annoying.
