*High administrator standards help ensure a general proficiency with most non-niche areas of Wikipedia work, and lowering these standards while handing out the most powerful tools available to janitors is not something that would help maintain the overall quality of the project.

Anti-Vandalism admins
Abilities
- Blocking tool to deal only with vandals and inappropriate usernames at WP:UAA
- Deletion tool - To be used in blatant vandalism/attack page deletion.
- Revdelete - Please read Revdelete article
- Page protection - To protect pages listed at WP:RPP
Problems
- Issue 1: Going out of the "approved" areas of work.
- Solution: Ideas?
- Issue 2: Deletion and revdelete are specifically excluded by the Foundation from being given to anyone except administrators.
- Solution: Remove revision delete and WP:Deletion from their rights I guess.
Commons copiers
Commons copiers would help clear out the copy to commons backlog, they would clear the Category:Wikipedia files with the same name on Wikimedia Commons and Category:Wikipedia files with a different name on Wikimedia Commons categories as needed. They would also help out with the Category:Copy to Wikimedia Commons category and delete the duplicated files themselves.
Abilities
- The deletion tool - to delete the duped enwiki->commons images.
Problems
- Issue 1: Commons copiers potentially going out of the File: Namespace and deleting other things in other namespaces
- Solution : Restrict the right for them only to be able to delete unprotected files.
- Issue 2: Who will want to go for a full RFA if they already have the relevant rights they need anyhow?
- Solution :
- Issue 3: Will it be a temporary thing, i.e You go for a full RFA after 6 months/1 year or permanent as long as they do their job?
- Solution :
- Issue 4: Will it be automatically removed if they're dormant for a while, like say 3 months?
- Solution :
Concerns
- High administrator standards help ensure a general proficiency with most non-niche areas of Wikipedia work, and lowering these standards while handing out the most powerful tools available to janitors is not something that would help maintain the overall quality of the project.
