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 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 any help. I'm more interested in coding and the main namespace. Having admin rights would allow me to edit MediaWiki pages and stop vandals, which I think will help the wiki be a better place.
