As part of the efforts to reign in administrator overreach to prevent the abuses of power demonstrated in previous years, I'm proposing we no longer require separate admin vote ratios in Wookieepedia:Requests for user rights and Wookieepedia:Requests for removal of user rights. These are pretty straightforward changes, so I'll list them below.

• Item #4 would be removed from the Wookieepedia:Requests for removal of user rights page.
• Item #5 would be removed from the rollback section of Wookieepedia:Requests for user rights.
• Item #9 would be removed from the adminship section of Wookieepedia:Requests for user rights.
• And lastly, item #7 would be removed from the bureaucratship section of Wookieepedia:Requests for user rights.

These votes should solely reflect the will of the community and should not have the ability to be overwritten by the administration. This would make the election process more democratic and less ripe for corruption.

2. Wookieepedia is one community: we should vote in one block. If someone gets 2/3 of the community's vote, they should pass: admins should not be able to veto that. Getting 2/3 supermajority is enough of a firm decision, as well, to be able to say that the majority of Wookieepedians genuinely want someone to be promoted (or if they're abusing their power, demoted).—spookywilloww^talk 00:02, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
