A CVU member has to deal with potential sources of article vandalism due to the change.

A Custodian has to deal with file quality and vandalism.

A bureaucrat has to deal with whether the change is feasible, beneficial, or worth the effort.

I get the idea. It's sounds fair. And it was back in the day when the CotG was active and we had Custodians, CVUs and admins.

Today is different.

Regular Users are upholding the Wiki.
 * Who deals with 90% of the vandalism? Regular Users (no proof needed. Regular Users are most active and keep checking the edits made by new users and old users alike)

Who deals with file quality and stuff? Regular Users (recent example: Unknown Alien had a terrible photo which was removed by a regular user)

Who deals with implementing a change? Regular Users (have you noticed a continuity template on top of most articles? who implemented them? Who created them? A regular user. There were what, 7-8 templates created. They were added to so many pages. (Courtesy: Ultiverse, Aaronbill3, Passport, Utkar22 etc.)

Also have you seen the pages being divided. All the reboot aliens, Eon, Omnitrix, Ultimatrix, Ben, Gwen, Max. Who did all those? Who did the effort to change the code? Who debated on how it would look? How it should be implemented? How to reduce the work of editors by fine-tuning the code? (With the help of Superbike) it was regular Users who did that.)

There are so many drastic changes that have happened recently. All the code, the work, the hours debating, as well as the end look was done by regular Users (with the help of 1 or sometimes 2 admins)

Lastly, it was these regular Users who saw whether these changes were feasible, beneficial and worth the effort.

Everything was done by regular Users.
