@Wildones,

Your last draft posted above looks really good to me, except for one point which I find much too weak, under promotion conditions:

*Receive at least 6 votes

Just SIX????? O_O Yikes!!!

For a wiki as large as this one, and for an important decision, I think that is much too low, with a high likelihood of producing results that may not represent the overall community stance.

@Wildones & Primetime:

May I suggest 20 votes required, including registered users with or without rank, and IP users.

I think 20 votes are easily achieved in a community this large, and would give a truer indication of community stance.. If you check important debate threads... they all have that many. Consider change of colors, for instance, or difficulty debates.

Also, while admin votes are no longer required, it is certainly in the best interest of an admin to give stance on a new team member, and those who are active will almost certainly vote, to give an estimated 10 votes from admins. I think we can easily see another 10 from non-admin users. I'm not suggesting here we should count them separately in the process, I'm only detailing why I believe 20 votes total would be a reasonable expectation.
