A '''request for adminship''' (or RFA) is a process by which the community decides whether a user is to have the position of [[Guild Wars Wiki:Adminship#Sysops|sysop]]. Note that sysophood is not a reward for good contributing nor a promotion to have more authority than other users. In general, a successful RFA represents a user being trusted with access to technical features to aid in maintenance. There is no inherent limit to the number of active sysops. | A '''request for adminship''' (or RFA) is a process by which the community decides whether a user is to have the position of [[Guild Wars Wiki:Adminship#Sysops|sysop]].

"Request for ''adminship''" | "Request for ''adminship''" is also something of a misnomer as both sysops and bureaucrats are considered ''[[Guild Wars Wiki:Adminship|administrators]]''. The RFA process here only applies to the sysop position; see [[Guild Wars Wiki:Elections]] regarding the process for the bureaucrat position. | ||

To start an RFA: | |||
# Archive any existing RFA for the candidate by moving it to "Guild Wars Wiki:Requests for adminship/''Username''/Archive 1" (or Archive 2, etc as necessary) along with its talk page. | |||
# Create the RFA page for the candidate (by entering the correctly spelled name of the candidate in the box). | |||
#* ''The page can also be created manually, but should include: a link to their user page, a link to their user talk page, a link to their list of contributions, the time of creation, a section for the candidate statement, and separate obvious sections for Support/Oppose/Neutral opinions.'' | |||

In general, a successful RFA has at least 3 times as much support compared to opposition -- but it is not a simple tally. Bureaucrats are to use their discretion in gauging/interpreting the amount of support/opposition. | ||

If the reconfirmation fails, the person in question loses sysop status. The reconfirmation process itself is simply another RFA for the sysop. It can brought about by one of the following conditions: | ||

:While a user is a sysop, anyone may add their support | :While a user is a sysop, anyone may add their support to the "Request for reconfirmation" section of that sysop's latest successful RFA. Short explanations are encouraged, but [[Guild Wars Wiki:No personal attacks|avoid personal attacks]]; consider simply giving links to evidence if necessary. This generally has no immediate effect and does not trigger the reconfirmation process until there is enough accumulated support for reconfirmation. The level of required support starts at the amount of support given for sysophood during the latest RFA (direct opposition to either is not counted), and this requirement gradually descends over time to a minimum of one user supporting after one year. Whenever this threshold is reached (as judged by a bureaucrat, not simple tallies), a bureaucrat will give notice to the sysop that they must be successfully reconfirmed within two weeks or lose their sysop status. | ||
