Wikia bureaucrats can promote an ordinary user to sysop. Bureaucrats can’t afterwards demote a sysop. Wikia central will demote a sysop only if there has been serious misconduct. This leads to a more equal relationship between bureaucrats and sysops. It can also make bureaucrats cautious about promoting sysops as this is a one way step. Caution can be a good thing. Demoted former sysops can feel so humiliated that they stop editing the wiki altogether. Only useful editors are likely to become sysops so driving them away is unwise. Wikia wikis may potentially have cautious bureaucrats and few sysops. The wikis may stay dependent on Wikia janitors and find it difficult to move if they ever want to. | Wikia bureaucrats can promote an ordinary user to sysop.

==Problems between Wikia and the Wikis it hosts== | |||
Recently advertising on Wikia Wikis declined dramatically. Now (late October ’08) there are problems at [[Uncyclopedia]] and [[Liberapedia]] to the author’s knowledge. Uncyclopedia is sensitive about a change in its URL. [http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Decisions_Time_Folks_-_Let%27s_Be_Organized_for_a_Change]. All the active administrators at Liberapedia dislike the new skin that Wikia plans to impose. [http://liberapedia.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:New_skin]. The author does not know it other Wikia wikis have problems. | |||
