What we need is something that draws people back to this wiki, as well as reform it to make it more appealing to the average user.We need a complete overhaul in how the government of this wiki works. A big problem we have is that we have certin bueracrats who just randomly promote people. We have 12 bueracrats. 12. we have about 12 active users at the moment. The problem with Bueracrats is that they can't be demoted unless they abuse their powers, yet they can also promote people at whim. Which is why, tbh, I want to make a new wiki where the government is established from the day one and elections deicde who gets power. A stable wiki will attract more users, which will attarct more mods. We could also try going to community central and see what they can do. I think a good way to draw people would be to have quality, or at least somewhat long, map games. I think if we had stable games like I'm trying to set up, and also insure some form of quality control (similiar to what I did with edit requirments in Almost) we could get these quality contributors.

I also agree compltely with what you agree with the buerocrats, I honestly have done almost no promotions whatsoever and there are multiple people that are mods that I currently wish weren't, and a couple simply due to power struggle, but I think that creating another wiki would be redundent. There have been far too many Map Game Wikies and this site is the original and most legitemate, not to mention the convolutedness. I do think though that if we had more contributors 12 beurocrats would be less pointless, and if we do manages to actually get any where we may even need more than 12.

I also like the idea of promotion this on Community Central, but I am far too busy to do this, but I would support anyone who did do this.
