Could you please define these tips and tricks that are exclusive to Banarama? I've got a lot of experience and wikia myself, so I'm not really sure how unique this is, but would like to know.

Qualities that set me apart. Here's a few (not all are universally unique)... I could probably list more, but those are the four that really stand out.
 * Coding Ability—I have a decent amount of CSS knowledge, am pretty good at wikitext, and can even do some Javascript. Check out some of what I've coded, here and !
 * Activity—for the past 10+ months, I've been more active on this wiki than any other user than . Activity is something that is very important as a Senior Admin (what good is experience if you're not active enough to utilize it?) and I definitely think I meet this requirement.
 * Experience—with Utkar, Ursuul, and Banarama excepted, I have more experience on this wiki that anyone else. From dealing with vandalism/spam/harassment to being an admin on diverse communities to just being a useful contributor on other wikis, I've seen and done a ton.
 * Workload—since joining this wiki, I've taken up and completed some pretty formidable tasks (for example, writing the, moving hundreds of pages or ensuring that basically every mainspace page meets the Style Guide). Very few other users do this amount of work for the wiki.

I don't....really know how to define tips and tricks exactly, because I can barely remember how most staff-related things work. Those things aren't exclusive to Banana imo, but I feel like he might have them down sightly better? Here's the best example I could think of:

Sure, you know how to deal with vandalism and flame wars well enough to be an admin, but what if Rifleman returned and wreaked havoc on the wiki somehow, by convincing people to start freaking out and yelling about him again? You weren't even here when Rifleman started his shenanigans, so I doubt that you could do any better than Banana in calming people down and remedying the situation, especially if something crazy, say, Ursuul completely disappearing happened. This scenario is far-fetched but possible, among many others that Banana would probably "fix" better than you could because of his wiki experience alone.

As for your points...


 * From what I've seen, you and Banana appear to be almost equal with coding ability, but Banana might even be a little bit better because of all of the tweaking and redesigning he's done (like with the theme).


 * Fair, you've obviously been fully active for all your time here. But Banana has already promised that he's gonna be completely off hiatus now, and he's still been coding and helping with the merge and editing and socializing all the way through his "hiatus".


 * Key word: Bananarama excepted. Banana is clearly more experienced on the wiki, and in my opinion constant activity<past experience by just a little bit (hence my percentage...analogy? example? ???)


 * You and Banana are basically equal in workload, when you stack up every single edit and project and compare them. You've done that stuff, but Banana has redesigned the entire theme numerous time, captained the maps project, worked on almost every Wiki Update ever made, helped fix bugs, and has moved and/or improved the quality of hundreds of pages. So again, y'all are basically equal here.
