Template:RfA/Nomination/doc

This template is used to make a public nomination to promote a registered user to an administrator.

'''Before taking this step, if possible, attempt to contact the user privately before proceeding with a public nomination. Only proceed with a public nomination if you cannot contact the user privately, the user does not respond within five days, or the user agrees.'''

To make a nomination, begin editing a new page entitled STOWiki:Requests for adminship/username, replacing username with the nominee's username. If there is already a previously resolved RfA there, add (2) to the end of the page name, and if necessary, count up from that until you find an unused title.

Copy the following to the new page:

After nominatedby=, type your username, or if you are helping someone else make a nomination, type his or her username.

After nominee=, type the username of the nominee for adminship.

After nomination=, you may optionally type a short message indicating why you are nominating this person for adminship.

After support=, oppose=, and/or neutral</tt>, you may add short bullet points that describe supporing, opposing, or neutral qualities of the nominee being considered for administrator. This may also be done later, but if you decide to do it now, begin each item with an asterisk (*</tt>) on a new line.

For instructions on adding qualities on an existing RfA page, see Category:Requests for adminship.
