.....I'm conflicted

......

sometimes I can't help but wonder what I'd use admin powers for.

Do I even deserve adminship?

Almost certainly not.

List of user rights of administrators:

• Block a user from sending email (blockemail) well, the email system doesn't work, so...
• Block other users from editing (block) would probably use for the rare persistent vandal
• Bypass IP blocks, auto-blocks and range blocks (ipblock-exempt) This is mostly just getting unlucky
• Change protection levels and edit cascade-protected pages (protect) Probably useful, especially if people request a userpage protection
• Create and (de)activate tags (managechangetags) what are tags?
• Create new user accounts (createaccount) I can already do that
• Create pages (which are not discussion pages) (createpage) I can already do that
• Delete tags from the database (deletechangetags) what are tags?
• Delete pages (delete) pages to delete would never be the same again
• Delete pages with large histories (bigdelete) probably useful if a page gets moved
• Edit other users' CSS files (editusercss) I would not be the technical type
• Edit other users' JavaScript files (edituserjs) I would not be the technical type
• Edit pages protected as "Allow only administrators" (editprotected) well, duh
• Edit pages protected as "Allow only autoconfirmed users" (editsemiprotected) I can already do that
• Edit the user interface (editinterface) I don't trust myself
• Have one's own edits automatically marked as patrolled (autopatrol) I mean, sure?
• Import pages from a file upload (importupload) what does this mean?
• Import pages from other wikis (import) probably useless due to the outdated version #
• Mark others' edits as patrolled (patrol) ok sure
• Mark rolled-back edits as bot edits (markbotedits) are you marking your own edits or the other person's?
• Mass delete pages (nuke) why would I nuke the wiki?
• Merge the history of pages (mergehistory) what use does this have?
• Move category pages (move-categorypages) I mean, could maybe be useful, so sure.
• Move files (movefile) same here
• Move pages (move) I can already do that
• Move pages with their subpages (move-subpages) oh, that's actually useful!
• Move root user pages (move-rootuserpages) maybe useful, but unneeded
• Not be affected by IP-based rate limits (autoconfirmed) you're autoconfirmed as an admin. cool
• Not be affected by rate limits (noratelimit) even during my time frame grind did I get a rate limit
• Not create redirects from source pages when moving pages (suppressredirect) okay, sure
• Override files on the shared media repository locally (reupload-shared) brain no work
• Overwrite existing files (reupload) I can already do that
• Perform CAPTCHA-triggering actions without having to go through the CAPTCHA (skipcaptcha) I can already do that
• Quickly rollback the edits of the last user who edited a particular page (rollback) cool, useful for vandals ig
• Search deleted pages (browsearchive) oh, that would be VERY interesting indeed
• Unblock oneself (unblockself) now that just seems unsafe
• Undelete a page (undelete) Maybe useful
• Upload files (upload) I can already do that
• Use higher limits in API queries (apihighlimits) what?
• View a list of unwatched pages (unwatchedpages) i see no use for this
• View deleted history entries, without their associated text (deletedhistory) I can already do that, I think
• View deleted text and changes between deleted revisions (deletedtext) suuuuuuure...

I mean, some of those would be useful... fun, even!

Becoming an admin is my ultimate goal here.

Although, even if I'm good enough (which I'm not, and won't be for a looooooooooooong time), there's nobody to promote me, soooooo...

well, I'll just get better in the meantime.
