You may remember me suggesting something similar to this last month for Admins and Mini-Admins.

Wikia's suggested use of ranks is something like this. I suggest we make our ranks a little tighter and have Discussion Mods being Chat Mods and Content Mods being Rollbacks before ranking up.

Discussion Mods: Content Mods: Mini-Admin:
 * Must be a Chat Mod prior to applying.
 * Must be a Rollback prior to applying.
 * Must be a Discussion Mod or Content Mod prior to applying.

This would result in a more gradual change in rights. Example: With a more gradual change, users could get a better feel on how to be staff and what to do. This would also help prevent unqualified people from running for higher ranks fast.
 * User becomes rollback and undoes edits.
 * User is promoted to content mod and undoes edits, deletes pages, and more.
 * User is promoted to Mini-Admin and now has rights over forums and chat.
 * User is promoted to admin and has all rights.

With this the minimal number of applications you'd have to be an admin would be 4. That's one more application than we currently have and making sure people take it slowly and don't rush into staff is a good thing.
