I've been on a wiki where there's 3 bureaucrats, anywhere from 8 to 12 admins at a time, anywhere from 8 to 12 rollbacks/chat moderators, and three simply just chat moderators. We did pretty dang fine with a system of voting...

There's also this wonderful thing called: bureaucrat nominated users This should happen when:
 * A new admin/rollback/chatmoderator is needed.
 * This means that the bureaucrat merely nominates the user.
 * The user is not yet give rights by the bureaucrat.
 * The user is then voted on by the majority of the wiki...

Another thing: There's this wonderful thing on the Pokémon where I'm a bureaucrat. I'll provide the information...

This is the page where users can request Administrator and Rollback rights and vote on other users who are requesting rights. Please read the following regulations and instructions completely before voting or placing a request.

In the event that an Administrator or Rollback is being unruly or breaking the rules, a request for their demotion may be placed below in the Requests for demotion header. The same voting rules apply for this as well. The vote totals required for their demotion remain the same as those for promotions as well.

When you add a comment or a vote, please do not use word bubbles, as the numbering will get messed up. If word bubbles are used, it will have the template coding removed to regular coding and the unsigned template will be used in place of a signature.

Rules and Regulations

"If the applicant receives 6 opposing votes, the request will be denied." After the time has expired, the user's request will be reviewed and a discussion may be held between all active administrators. If the request is denied, you are prohibited from requesting adminship or rollback rights for thirty days.

Comments
Now: Here's another wiki where I was bureaucrat, but stepped down because of some rather uncanny problems.....

This is the page where users can request user rights. If you feel you deserve user rights, and it will benefit the wiki, then you may place a request below. Please read the instructions carefully before requesting user rights.

Chat Mod Rights

 * You should be a trusted member of the community.
 * You should have a strong history on this wiki. We don't accept people who have only edited a few times.
 * You must be a level five user.
 * You should have no history of vandalism, sock-puppetry, or rudeness.
 * Your Duties will be to maintain chat rules and policy. The 1 month auto demotion still applies.

Rollback Rights

 * You should be a trusted member of the community.
 * You should have a strong history on this wiki. We don't accept people who have only edited a few times.
 * You must be a level five user.
 * You should have no history of vandalism, sock-puppetry, or rudeness.

Administrator Rights

 * You must have rollback rights.
 * You should be a trusted member of the community.
 * You should have no history of vandalism, sock-puppetry, or rudeness.

Bureaucrat Rights

 * You must have administrator rights.
 * You should be a trusted member of the community.
 * You should have no history of vandalism, sock-puppetry, or rudeness.
 * The only way a bcrat spot will ever open up, is if one of the current 3 bcrats leaves, steps down or is demoted.

Nomination

 * 1) Choose to edit a section under "Requests" (either chat moderator, rollback, administrator, or bureaucrat).
 * 2) Add your name as a subheading like this: ===Your User Name===.
 * 3) Give a small statement of why you think you deserve the rights.

Voting
Users will then state whether the user deserves the rights or not. They will either agree, or disagree with the request.

Requests
Requests may be turned down simply because users with the rights are not needed. If your request is turned down, you can try again later when you have a stronger history, or when someone with the rights is needed.

... The requirements are incredibly low...
