Ah, okay, I've just reviewed that talk page. Technically speaking, he's not broken any rules or misused his power. If there's no stated procedure on that wiki for how a bcrat or an admin is promoted, then he's pretty much allowed to use his powers however he wants.

That said, one could argue that Dragon Ball Wiki is large enough that there probably should be a procedure in place, as it is strange that he not only picked two administrators but a bureaucrat without really putting it down to community discussion. Normally, wikis would have a forum or project page for community members to voice concerns and/or lend support to a candidate for a position before it gets approved. This isn't always the case, and it tends to be wikis with single bcrats where that doesn't happen. It would be ideal for this to happen in the case of Dragon Ball Wiki for all candidates for any future position. It is curious that he used the "community consensus" line of attack on why not to have a second bcrat (though he's not technically wrong that wikis are run by consensus rather than pure voting) then didn't follow it for his choices of promotion. So a case could be made for introducing formal procedure for that site so that all candidates are vetted by community consensus. Perhaps a forum could be opened for this.

Also, he realized his mistake at the end, but having a single bcrat is extremely inefficient. Especially if that one bcrat becomes too distant from the community or otherwise uninvolved, and would need a second input.
