A '''request for adminship''' ('''RfA''') is the process by which users of the Gemini Station Wiki can request access to the administrator (sometimes also referred to as '''sysop''') or bureaucrat [[GSWiki:Access levels|user groups]]. Administrator's tools include the ability to block users from editing, to delete and protect pages, and grant editors access to the [[GSWiki:Rollback|rollback]] and [[GSWiki:Custodian|custodian]] usergroups. For more information on administrators and their tools, please see the [[GSWiki:Administrators|administrators]] page. Users with the administrator right have the responsibility for determining [[GSWiki:Consensus|consensus]] on requests for adminship and for granting access to the administrator user group to successful candidates.

Any registered user may nominate another registered user for administrative rights, or a user may be self-nominated. Requests are public discussions; all users are encouraged to comment on whether they believe that the nominee should be granted adminship. Requests must be analysed for a final decision: the strength of the arguments supporting, opposing, or expressing a certain opinion of the candidate is used to determine the success of the request as per the wiki's consensus.

==Requirements==
While the only hard requirement for candidates is to have a wiki account, users within the community have their own expectations of administrators against which they judge potential new administrators during the RFA process. Some common expectations involve:

* Duration and their contribution editing history
* Appropriate/positive interaction with other users on the wiki and off-site; such as discord
* Understanding of the community's policies, rules, and know their way around quite well
* Trustworthiness/good judgment

==Nominating==
Nominations must be accepted by the user in question. If you wish to nominate a user, make sure you let the user know before creating the request.

===How to nominate===
# Create a page at "GSWiki:Requests for adminship/NOMINEE", where NOMINEE is the username of the nominee.
## If this is not the first RfA for the user (or is an RfB) add /# to the page name.
## Add a link to the previous nomination to the request.
# Follow the instructions given on {{t|RFA}}, (depending on the nature of the nomination) to fill out the request.
# Fill in another row of the summary table below with the nominee's information.
# The candidate must then sign the acceptance of nomination section on their request page.
