Again, as I've said before. Being admin in theory and hopefully in practice should be a very high honor. You didn't say that anywhere before so I don't know why you said again.

If the community has decided that a user has done so remarkably well that they deserve the extra responsibility and abilities, then that admin should not abuse their power That's true to a degree, but admins aren't always picked by the community. Admins only need to be promoted by one person with bureaucrat rights. Not all Wiki's have community voting's (especially Wiki's with fewer users) Just because you are an admin does not always mean you are not subject to ill intent. Also with adoptions and all, it's pretty much fair game.

The admin could go around deleting and renaming pages causing terrible damage, yet those are features that are not staff requests. Deleting pages won't gain that person anything. Where achievements can be looked at as a status symbol. Like, "I did all this work look, at me". If an admin wanted to vandalize their own Wiki they wouldn't last long in doing so. If they had full control of achievements, then nobody would be able to stop them as its not breaking any rules.

Pages are content of the Wiki, while achievement badges are rewards.
