I now see how an Admin could affect Discussions and the importance of the proper choice, but I do still have some qualms about the voting situation. Discussions users, since a vast majority of them never leave Discussions, will simply vote for any candidate who often visits the place, as they're the only one they know. That would be giving a big advantage to any user who frequents Discussion, and changing it from an optional part of the wiki for Admins to a mandatory one. Yes, you could give them information about all the candidates to read, but I know enough about human nature to know that would have little effect on them voting for the candidate they know.

Likewise, holding a vote there would be akin to holding the vote for Discussion mods here on the wiki. Mainwiki users would have no real idea who or what we're choosing and the results would be skewed as a result.

But that is is all just my opinion. We need to see what others think and go from there. Thank you for all the responses. The knowledge has helped me immensely.
