Could we have a Minister for Magic election? That's the idea I had while seeing the USA Presidential results yesterday. Basicly it would be a tribute to awesome users, elected by all the registed users. What do you think? -- Seth Cooper Owl Post 20:16, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
- Not a bad idea. As long as the position is purely cermonial. It's not a good thing to put a single user in charge of an entire wiki, as it undermines the community aspect. Jayce Carver

- Sounds like a good idea. Purely ceremonial is definately the way to go. Go ahead and nominate below... (but keep the discussion above the nomination section please). -- Freakatone Talk 22:11, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
- Also, when you nominate someone, leave a note on their talk page explaining that they have been nominated and asking them to accept or decline the nomination. Thanks! -- Freakatone Talk 22:13, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
- The Minister should have a term... Let's say... 6 months, maybe? -- Seth Cooper Owl Post 22:35, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
- Six months sounds good. -- Freakatone Talk 22:38, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm thinking that the Minister position could actually be more than just ceremonial. I'm not suggesting that it should give special powers, but more of a loose set of responsibilities, like guiding new users, resolving disputes, and helping to motivate greater involvement in community projects. Thoughts? ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 00:12, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
- Hm, thats a great thought. I like that idea. Those 3 ideas sound good to me. -- Freakatone Talk 00:22, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
