Administrators help keep Wikipedia running smoothly by performing administrative tasks that need restricted tools such as blocking editors, protecting pages, and deleting pages.
Editors interested in becoming administrators may use either this process, or the traditional Wikipedia:Requests for adminship process. Administrators chosen through either method will have the same technical abilities to perform administrative actions, and the same responsibility to use administrative privileges with care. If you feel you are ready to take on the role, we encourage you to request a nominator or nominate yourself.
The only formal requirement is that you be extended-confirmed on the English Wikipedia (500 edits and 30 days account age); however, the community's expectations of administrators are much higher — users with less than one year or 5,000 edits generally don't have a realistic chance of succeeding. Prospective candidates are advised to familiarize themselves with these expectations. This includes reviewing successful and unsuccessful RFAs, reading advice pages, and possibly requesting a poll on their chances of passing.
The call for candidates phase for the October 2026 administrator elections is now closed.
List of candidates
Once the candidate page is created, add the name to the following table in alphabetical order with the {{Admin election candidate}} template. Candidates should be added only by candidates or (with permission) by nominators. For advice to candidates, see Wikipedia:Advice for admin elections candidates. Source editing is highly recommended due to table syntax complexities.
