Wiktionary:Requests for adminship/nominate

Introduction

In order to nominate yourself or another editor for adminship, you must first create an RfA subpage for the nominee - see instructions link below.

Once this RfA subpage has been created, the nominator must explain on the RfA subpage why this nominee would make a good administrator, and the nominee must accept the nomination on the RfA subpage before it can be transcluded to the main RfA page. This prevents editors from voting against candidates simply because they have not accepted the nomination or answered the questions. It also prevents both nominees and nominators from being embarrassed when a nomination is declined.

Note: It is considered good form to seek out the prospective nominee first before you create the RfA subpage and nominate them - if the nominee wants to wait or doesn't want to be an admin, creating the page may be a bit awkward for them, so please consider checking first.

Finally, once the nomination has been accepted and the questions answered, the nominee should transclude it on the RfA page when they are ready for the RfA to begin. Alternatively, the candidate may ask the nominator to do so. The nominee should do this when they are satisfied with their answers to the questions.

Instructions

Edit the blank nomination form as appropriate - see comments at the top of the file. Then save the page as Wiktionary:Requests for adminship/<candidateUsername> and follow the remaining instructions in the file.

User notification

While canvassing for support is frowned upon (to the extent that canvassing editors have had their RfAs fail), some users find it helpful to place {{Rfa-notice}} on their userpages. Such declarations are most definitely allowed.
