Thanks, I'll make sure I and the other staff read up on this.

The one thing this can't fix sadly is bias, I have to either be stricter or be even more picky with mods.

If you haven't already, you should set up a Pathway to adminship to narrow down potential mods. An example of this would be Hazbin Hotel Wiki:Staff Rights Requisition.

Having these requirements will give you time to get a feel for who you want to promote.

I dislike using requests for people to apply for a position in a well-built wiki, if the wiki just started out I would usually just handpick or accept the message wall requests.

I usually have interviews with potential staff on Discord/Magma to see past experience, maturity, and how chronically online they are. Mod apps are also an option that I use commonly alongside the interviews.
