Is Requests for Adminship the best process for granting of sysop rights?

Hence or otherwise on the first question, do you think that Requests for Adminship is currently the best process for granting of sysop rights? Or is there a better process you may wish to suggest?

Yes

  1. Requests for adminship is the worst process, except for all the others. Grandmasterka 19:54, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
  2. -- Naerii 20:01, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
  3. But the optional questions are getting ridiculous. J Milburn (talk) 20:03, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
  4. I agree with Grandmasterka. seresin ( ¡? ) 20:12, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
  5. Not sure of another thing that would work. Wizardman 20:24, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

No

  1. Last I checked it was still a popularity contest where the least controversial people won, with the explosion of optional questions, its actually gotten worse. Mr.Z-man 20:00, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

  1. Grant it like rollback to trusted users, and remove it from those who abuse/misuse it. Majorly (talk) 19:57, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
  1. A) Enable rights to be granted or revoked on individual articles or classes of articles, or with respect to individual editors. A1) An WP:MENTOR should be able to block and unblock his protégé, for example. A2) Long-term members of WikiProjects should be able to apply for and, unless there is an objection, routinely receive admin rights to block individuals from editing articles associated with that project. I realize this will require code changes but it's something we can look at in the coming year. B) Full administratorship, which includes access to administrator mailing lists, administrator IRC channels, and global blocking, should be limited to accounts with at least a certain number of edits, a certain length of tenure, and should expire after a certain period of time, say, 2 or 3 years, with a waiting period before asking for those privileges back. Such retired administrators can continue to have courtesy access to the tools, particularly article-delete and user block/unblock. Not having perpetual access to discussion forums prevents cabals from forming. Yes, I know TINC.
  1. To be honest, I'm neutral, although Majorly's suggestion sounds good. ...... Dendodge.Talk 20:12, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
