To become official policy, anything I say would need to get brought up and voted on by the wiki admins as a group, like normal.
I hate to start up the J.I. Case Drama Hauler so soon after our triumphant opening, but we are going to have a lot of new traffic so it's important to say this.
To this point, our admins have NOT had the powers you just described. Proposed policies/guidelines/whatever are supposed to be thrown open to *all* active editors to see if they are accepted. Where accepted means a strong consensus, not just nobody dropping by with a counterargument that weekend. If consensus is not obvious then the rule is not written down, and users continue discussing individual situations as they had been doing.
Yes, I personally have worked on some "dos and donts" lists without such broad debate, but I now think that was a mistake and I refuse to do it any more. I also think few people ever read those pages anyway because they'd rather be editing.
Discussing rules is even more boring than reading them, and almost no one ever bothers. Therefore, the arrangement you describe might prove very practical. But then, I am an admin myself, so people expect me to say that! We should at least ask other power users who have migrated themselves.
