User blog comment:Sannse/Navigating the Wilds of Adminship - Revisited/@comment-5558012-20171115202917

To me being an Admin is like being on a balance beam. You have a duty to the wiki and community but you also need to remember you are part of the community, not a ruler over it. An Admin needs to help maintain the standards of the wiki while also assisting users to do the same. Doing this is a lot of work.

I also think from a viewer/reader's perspective so in the eyes of perfection, a jumbled mess of a new article or one that's a sentence long isn't helpful to a reader. On a smaller wiki, nearly anyone can create a page but fewer can actually finish the page. As a result, lots of tiny/very incomplete articles don't help a wiki but makes it more difficult for an Admin to do Admin things since they are the ones fixing the article a new editor creates and doesn't bother to work on. This decreases the quality of a wiki, can discourage readers, and makes completing specific projects more difficult. A wiki with a large community is much less likely to have this issue.
