Unfortunately, LDC never got around to porting the promote/demote feature of Phase II to Phase III, so Jimbo (possibly a developer) will have to promote you two. I'm sure nobody will object to your promotion.

I already did. Any of the developers can do it directly to the database. I do plan to build screens for that, but I've got my head buried in a new recent changes implementation at the moment that I really want to get out first.

Again I would like to restate my proposal to have an 'old hand' status that would allow users that have been around a while and are generally trusted to move pages and edit protected pages. Not everyone wants to have to keep up with the mailing list or have the burden of being seen as some type of cop just to have the ability to do stuff like moving pages or editing the Front Page. These things can't really be entrusted to totally green users that signed-up 5 minutes before and are totally unaware of our editing policies and naming conventions but I see no reason to deny this to longtime users.

If you want to give this out more freely (and I agree it should be), then it will become a maintenance headache unless it's automated somehow. Obviously "logged in as a user" is one criterion, and then something like having edited some number of articles over some period of time.

Aside.... Is the name "Pedia Wiki" used anymore? Or does our wikiware have no name? :-(

If you think it oughta have a name, give it one!
