While jumping is technically allowed, I still feel that users would benefit by going through the ranks in order. For example, why didn't you become a forum/chat moderator first? An administrator has more responsibilities than editing like a rollback and going from rollback to admin means that it is hard to guage properly. I don't believe me having those positions would benefit the wiki. The current chat/forum moderators are very active in the chat/forums, both of which I am not too active in. They are doing their job well, and I don't think I would be of much help. I'm more interested in coding and the main namespace. Having admin rights would allow me to add new codes to the MediaWiki pages and stop vandals, which I think will help the wiki be a better place.

So you are saying that your admin position would relate mostly to CSS, HTML and other miscellaneous things that the positions cannot do, even though an admin might also need to do the tasks of both positions you are skipping? That the only reason you are jumping is because you are planning to do things restricted to admin+?
