We only had 5 Admins because of the Merge, in which we agreed to let the Admins from the RP Wiki keep their positions. However only the following week, Hahn decided to change to a Moderator.

An Admin's job is only to deal with misbehaving users, protect pages if need be and guide the community. The rest of their responsibilities are all able to be performed by one of the other Staff positions, that is why too many Admins are not needed. Like others have said before, we can still do fine with 3 but having a 4th is good in case one of the others decides to go on vacation or to take a break from the wiki for a week or so.

Not even the Elder Scrolls Wiki has more staff than us and they are over 30 times larger than us. The only thing is that our forums and chat are more active. So if anything, we should have more Moderator and Chat Mod.

In truth, we shoud have less Admins than the other positions, because Admins are more supervisors for the community than the actual wiki. For each aspect of the wiki is supervised by another staff position. Mainspace -> Rollbackers; Forums -> Moderators; Chat-> Chat Moderators.
