I've been an Admin and Community Manager (Founder) for other Wikis and this is an option that I would have leapt at.

There are some people that are excellent at managing content that you want to give the ability to help admins out by deleting duplicate images and the like, without making these people Admins. The skillset to be an Admin is a completely different skillset to being able to be OCD about content. Admins need to be able to manage people as well as page content, and have the ability to ban people. I think giving Admins the ability to give people they trust the ability to clean up duplicate files without making them Admins is an excellent thing.

If someone has both skills, then the Admins can still make them an Admin. If they don't have both skills, now they can give credit where due with a shiny title, AND they can help the Wiki in ways they couldn't before.

That said, I'm new to this Wiki and thus I'm not familiar with how things run here, but I can't see how giving the Admins more options on what they let people do could be a bad thing, given my experiences with other Wikis
