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.
