New stewards, now and in future, may find this a helpful resource. I invite comments, additions, corrections, et hoc genus omne. — Dan | talk 04:06, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

on promoting bureaucrats: proposal for a new guideline

imho we need more than just a number of supporting voters to promote anyone to bureaucrat access on a wiki where there are none, perhaps something completely different.

one of my own rules of thumb i kept for years, but couldn't as yet detect in the recent discussions, so i decided to first bring this up here:

• never promote a single user as first bureaucrat on a wiki which has none: let there always be at least two to start.

the reason and rationale = built-in cooperation incentive, and avoidance of any hint of "rulership"

it might also be a good idea to choose to always require a minimum of 2 bc's per wiki, but such things can hardly be followed by stewards. oscar 00:59, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

I think it is best to focus the discussion on Talk:Bureaucrat#Minimum_number_of_votes. Effeietsanders 11:14, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
