Hello,
why should a wiki have a bureaucrat before it is created?
A lot of small wikis doesn't have a crat and stewards will do the job.
The same for admins, why not keep the test admins. I don't see why it is important to have admins before a wiki is created or has a comnunety.
Best regards,
Hoi, Have a look at the Incubator, at the project request, they ARE the people who will be the Pontic Wikipedia community. There is nothing wrong with the stewards but when there is no need for them, they will be the last to complain. Thanks, GerardM

While we can always learn from best practices, I firmly believe it's best to leave local governance to local communities.
If they want to have admins and crats, and have set up an election system with appropriate controls and a system of checks and balances, good for them.

+1 on them having their own crat and admins since they were approved, what possible harm could that have? they can always self-correct as the community gets bigger is the choices are not optimum.

This indeed. Good for them for dealing with these issues in advance rather than waiting until the need for a crat is critical. -Dan

Hello,
The previous week, we the pontic wikipedia community arranged a meeting in our channel in IRC chat. There we thought that we should make elections in order to be prepared for the creation of the wiki and so we decided who would be the candidates for administrators and that we should also have a buro because we wanted to handle our issues on our own so we decided our candidate for bureacracy as well.
P.S. As I saw that there has been a misunderstanding in what I said before we will ask for nomination AFTER the wiki will be created.
Best wishes, ZaDiak

Sorry, I only later saw that the pontic Wikipedia is still not created. It would be not good to have non created Wikipedias in the list of Tell Us. Kind regards Ziko
