Regarding electing new admins, it probably wouldn't hurt to appoint another, since (as Cosmic said) most of the staff on the wiki are busy with real-life events at the moment. I've currently got some end-of-year exams coming up, but once they're over in a few weeks' time, I'll be around a lot more.

The criterion for a staff candidate look good to me, and I don't particularly see a major issue (or, at least, currently) regarding dissension over a nominated user for admin or bureaucrat positions, since our community in general is pretty mature. If anything, the criterion for bureaucrats could probably be raised a bit more, since once elected, Bureaucrats are pretty much permanent positions (save stepping down from the role or being demoted by a Wikia Staff member). Maybe make it 2,000 mainspace edits and an admin for 6 months?

I also agree that the Manuals need to be updated, since they fell to the side quite some time ago, and getting the rest of the community involved would be a great way of reflecting what the wiki is: a space for all members of the Dark Souls community to come, learn and contribute.

Finally, I won't beat the dead horse by mentioning the discussion part of the blog too much, since my opinion is pretty much identical to those that have already been stated: people will discuss what they feel like discussing, and there's not really a lot we can do about that unfortunately.
