It may have some idiosyncrasies that make it differ from other communities (like every community has; no community is the same as another), but the same underlying principles that apply to all other wikis, and online communities in general (and even offline communities), apply here as well. Such principles being that as the community itself grows, its guidelines/policies/processes/etc need to adapt too.

Essentially, the "admins run the wiki" mindset is a mindset that works for very small wikis and communities. It may have worked back when it was just Legoguy1866 and a few other users. But this community is a lot bigger now. You can't use small wiki ideologies on a large wiki, or else you have issues arise regarding user rights quite frequently.
