Actually, Lothian, I'd say that's overly-complicated. For starters, if I present a slate of candidates, then it becomes my bias. I don't know people well enough to present a slate of candidates anyway. Anyone should be allowed to be nominated if this is going to be a community vote.

Having assistant administrators is also not something I'd recommend. All administrators should be considered equals and not outrank one another. Some wikis have bureaucrats considered a step above administrators, which is fine if that's the set up you want, but adding a level like "assistant administrators" is not recommended.

I'd also recommend allowing the community to vote on chat moderators too. If the community can have input on that, then, theoretically, it can reduce disputes about them later on. Those whose candidates did not win the election can at least know that there was a fair election to vote other people into that role.
