For those who aren't admins (unless you do know about this), there is a checklist of available rights that a staff/user can add/remove, usually seen when admins or self-demoters done so. Something like this image below, changing rights of a Bureaucrat, for example:

Now, there are some demotion threads like this one that doesn't have specific demotion choices available, just either a Support or Oppose for the demotion, for a demotion when a user has multiple rights (and in that thread's case, an "Admin". But that demotion should still stay as it is). A user even made a point about this.

Think about it when, for example, "ExampleAdmin" is active only on Chat, but got unfairly "demoted to regular user" despite of active Chat activity because the only choices of "ExampleAdmin's" demotion thread are either "Support or Oppose" and most users who voted are not specific with their demotions, with this wiki being used to demote to regular user due to lack of activity. Something like that isn't fair and not all users are considerate at voting such demotions of a staff especially if a user doesn't know the staff (who is being demoted) well.

That's why we need implement a new rule for demotion threads to make it required for users to be specific on which rights to demote to. Something like (as a proof-of-concept):
 * On Staff Demotion Threads, you are required to specify which right/s to demote a staff to. This includes "Demote to Regular User".
 * Combination of the demotion to two rights are allowed as long as the staff have such rights and the combination does not conflict to their purpose (e.g. Demote to "Content Moderator & Rollback" and "Discussion Moderator & Chat Moderator" are not allowed).
 * This does not apply to Staffs that only have Rollback rights for obvious reasons.

That way, we can prevent unfair demotions like that example above from happening.

Should this thread gets supported, a "Stance or VoteStance"-like template that explains such Demotion rule and (maybe) a Template similar to the "Choice or Support" template designed specifically for Demotion threads will be made. Feel free to leave a suggestion about this thread.
