We're not having a vote to get rid of admins making decisions without community input, we're having a vote to get rid of admins making decisions. Throughout the entire history of this wiki, we've made very very few decisions that did not involve community input. Ever since I started admin talk, I've pushed pretty hard for community input, but I've completely opposed having the community as the final authority. That's not entirely true.

1) The admins are part of the community, so we will still be making decisions, just with the maximum amount of community input, namely, giving other community members an equal vote.

2) Admin decisions without any community input are still technically allowed by the rules, which is something we are trying to change. For example, we got no community input on the duplicate guidelines, did we?

3) We will still be able to make decisions that do not impact the entire community, like some cases with blocks. So the vote is not to "get rid of admins making decisions."
