Administrators help keep Wikipedia running smoothly by performing administrative tasks that need restricted tools such as blocking editors, protecting pages, and deleting pages.
Editors seeking adminship may use this process or the traditional Requests for Adminship (RfA) process. All administrators have the same responsibilities and technical abilities. If you feel you are ready to take on the role, we encourage you to add your name below.
The only firm requirement is that you be extended-confirmed on the English Wikipedia; however, the community's expectations of administrators are much higher. Prospective candidates are advised to familiarize themselves with these expectations. This includes reviewing successful and unsuccessful RfAs, reading the essay Wikipedia:Advice for RfA candidates, and possibly requesting a poll on their chances of passing.
Candidates are encouraged to find a nominator to support their candidacy, to increase their chances (for instance, by contacting someone listed as willing to nominate others). However this is not required.
To submit a candidacy
The call for candidates has now closed for this election.
Please make sure that you are available for the discussion phase from July 18–22.
Withdrawing
If a candidate wants to withdraw from the election before the discussion period, they should remove themselves from the candidate list (without adding themselves to the withdrawn list) and nominate their candidate subpage for speedy deletion. They will not be listed as a candidate during the SecurePoll vote.
If a candidate wishes to withdraw during the discussion period or voting period, they should edit the list of candidates to move themselves to the withdrawn section. For transparency, their candidate subpage shall not be deleted and will remain transcluded on the discussion period page. The candidate subpage will be closed using the template {{subst:Rfaf|aelect=yes}}/{{subst:Rfab|aelect=yes}} to stop further discussion. An attempt will be made to remove the candidate from the SecurePoll ballot, but this is not guaranteed. If the candidate ends up on the SecurePoll ballot, whatever result they achieve will be considered invalid, and election organizers will attempt to keep the result unpublished.
