Staff need to both be checked by users and other staff. That's why a council system works well.

The YS Wiki has 2 councils, the Council of Administration and the Council of the People. The COA collectively holds most of the Wiki's authority, not any one person. While the COTP has very little authority, it's goal is instead to be better connected to the user base and make suggestions to the COA.

I could go into a lot more detail about how the system works, but that's a decent overview in my opinion. If there's any interest in such a system, I'd be willing to explain and possibly work towards a goal of establishing councils here. Please do explain in detail. Maybe in a different thread? Perhaps a proposal?
