This is the page where users can request admin and/or bureaucrat rights.
Overview[]
- Only self-nominations are allowed. If you think that another member would make a good sysop, then you can convince them to nominate themselves. You cannot, however, make a nomination on behalf of another user.
- When creating your Rfa, you should state why you would like to become an administrator. Posting examples of notable work that the you have contributed is highly encouraged. Also, try to state how you would use the administrator powers.
- Users who wish to support, oppose, or comment on the nomination may do so underneath the person requesting adminship.
- After sufficient time has passed to allow all users who wish to express an opinion the chance to do so, a decision will be made based on community consensus as to whether or not the request will succeed. Once a decision has been made, the discussion will be archived and moved to an appropriate subpage.
- When a Rfa for bureaucrat rights is taking place, only users with special rights can vote. That is, Admins, rollbacks, chat moderators, Staff, etc. However, this does not apply if all other administrators are inactive. If the Rfa passes, it can then be forwarded to Staff at Community Central via Wiki Adoption.

Voting Requirements[]
For requests where users are applying for sysop rights, voters must meet the following requirements:
- Two weeks of activity, the account of the voter must be two weeks or older with some sort of activity for that duration. This excludes chat.
- 5 edits are required. Nonconstructive edits and deleted contributions are not accounted for.
These rules are put in place to prevent users from creating sockpuppets in order to gain more votes.
