Absolutely not - admins are appointed on the basis of their vandalism skills and trustworthiness, not on their knowledge of content.
Sure. That's why it currently needs an admin to edit [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] or [[template:cite book]] on en, right :)?
Yeah, it's a far from ideal situation. "Vandal fighters" definitely shouldn't be messing with the site-wide style sheets, and admins who primarily reorganise images and recover deletions shouldn't be banning or unbanning users. It's a problem.
