I, personally, greatly support the current direction of the Community page, but, there was one thing I haven't seen acknowledged by Wikia yet, albeit being mentioned in some comments below: Admins and Bureaucrats do not represent the most important people of a wikia.

To start, I want to point out that any active contributor can be helpful in most situations, and that redirecting people to Administration can just increase the workload for that person. Of course, I also understand that the list also serves as a way to easily show who the Admins are, since some people may not know as easily otherwise.

So, then that leaves other staff members. What about the Rollbacks, Chat Moderators, Discussion Moderators, and Content Moderators? Usually, these users can be as equally helpful as an Admin or Bureaucrat. Sometimes, these users may be more active than those with administrative powers. There should be some way to also include other staff members.

From my own experiences, there is a wikia that only has three active staff members. A Chat Moderator, Discussions Moderator, and an Administrator. All three are helpful, but, I see no reason to have "forced" promotions just to help redirect new users. Yes, they aren't actually forced, yet, the list could be circumstantially beneficial to the point where the circumstance is that anyone who is active must also be an Admin to be able to help people quickly, and efficiently.

Suggesting:
 * Toggle for what Roles show up on the Admins list.
 * Potentially allowing the ability to hide some less-active contributors, so newer users can be helped as soon as possible.
