In my opinion, the whole 'editing requirements' thing is a bit absurd. There shouldn't be any requirements for becoming an admin: if somebody asks to become an admin, and if the bureaucrats deem this person acceptable for getting admin status, then that person should be allowed to become an admin.

Besides, last time we had the whole 'requirements' thing, two new admins arrived and lost their powers soon after, which resulted in another user getting kicked off Wikia, followed by a lot of fighting and feuding.
