Indeed. Though perhaps less strange and more sad. And I think I should say no more on that. No matter what Fandom staff says, there are some things that either can't or at least really shouldn't be said here on this wiki but have to be said elsewhere or not at all. And not because saying them would violate the Terms of Use but rather because some would misinterpret or take offense and their subsequent actions would most likely lead to one or more users doing the same, possibly even to the point violating the TOU.

As for my post on AAA's wall about his successor, I asked in case something had already been decided and in case he knew who it would be. There are certain things that only a bureaucrat can take care of on a wiki. AAA was our only bureaucrat and he removed himself from having those permissions. As of my message on his wall, no one had those rights anymore on this wiki.

Frankly, I'm not sure how bureaucrat rights, or any other user rights (like admins, moderators, etc.), can be granted now. I'm hoping someone in Fandom staff can not only grant bureaucrat rights when someone is selected but also take care of any other rights assignments, like admin rights, as needed until then.
