For those who are saying this would make it harder for someone to make themselves an admin:

A REALLY GOOD ADMIN WILL NOT WANT TO BE AN ADMIN.

It means being pestered by users over and over again, it means having to look over every single crappypasta in the minor hopes that it might be good, it means taking all-caps rants every time some crybaby messages you about how you deleted his pasta. Okay, maybe I'm out of my authority to say this, but it seems pretty obvious to me. The only exception I can think of is if you want to add an article to a category but it's locked so you can't edit it, and at that point you can just ask an admin and it'll be up in a day tops.
