@DEmersonJMFM Too true. The problem with some larger wiki's is that there is a culture present in most of them where the admins are considered "gods" and that you have no right to "go against the admins". This concept is such a fallacy but nobody seems interested in actually trying to get rid of such cultures. I don't think this is helped when there are bureaucrats on those wiki's who don't seem to legitimately listen to concerns and just do whatever they want anyway.

I have come across admins who: Seen it all and it's pretty sad how so few people realise that "they" have the right to tell admins when they are doing something wrong or that they (the community) have overall control of how the wiki should function.
 * Discuss all matters of importance with just admins and not the community as a whole, ignoring the community and giving them no voice in any matters.
 * Just think they can do whatever they want without any community consensus about the decisions they make.
 * Make consensus discussions but just completely ignore all the posts in such a discussion (aka, a consensus discussion to provide a user with user rights is just posted simply to make it sound like the bureaucrat in question "cares" when he's already made the decision and is simply doing it to give the impression that he needs a consensus).
 * Just ignore criticism and advice and think they're better because they're "admins" (which is a fallacy, being admin does not make a user "better" than another).
