Proposed adminship is a simplified method by which users may be granted the administrative tools to serve the community. It does not replace or deprecate Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship.
The process
Any user may propose another user for adminship by adding {{Rfaprod}} to the user page of the user they wish to become an administrator (please note that this template must be substituted). If the template remains in place without objection for 7 days, the user may be made an administrator by a bureaucrat. When the template is added, the user will automatically appear in Category:Proposed administrators, which appears on the main requests for adminship page.
Any nominations must also be noted on some noticeboard which interested people can watchlist.
Removal of the template
If the template is removed by another user, the reason for removal must be given at the candidate's talk page, and should also be summarized in the edit summary. When giving this reason, please remember to be constructive and remain civil. The candidate may remove the template themselves at any time without explanation.
Following removal of the template by anyone other than the candidate, the process has been completed, albeit unsuccessfully.
A user may not go through the proposed adminship process more than once and may not go through it at all if they have a previous unsuccessful RfA.
Directions for closing bureaucrat
Before promoting a user based on the proposed adminship process, a bureaucrat may instead decide to remove the template themselves as outlined above, even if the 7 day period has expired. If the bureaucrat decides that the candidate is not suitable, they should also provide a reason on the candidate's talk page. Otherwise, the candidate should be made an administrator.
Current Experimental Variants
Archive this section if/when experiment terminated
For the duration of this experiment, instead of actually promoting a candidate, a bureaucrat or someone acting reliably like a bureaucrat will instead merely post a message on the candidates page, stating "If this had been a real process, you would now be an admin". Candidates should be encouraged to also run on Requests for adminship, so that the results of requests for adminship can be compared with this process.
Variant A: Initial
First variant tried.
Wording as above:
Following removal of the template by anyone other than the candidate, the process has been completed, albeit unsuccessfully.
A user may not go through the proposed adminship process more than once and may not go through it at all if they have a previous unsuccessful RfA.
Variant B: Allow consensus editing of template
Following removal of the template by anyone other than the candidate, the template may be placed back by anyone, provided there is (rough) consensus to do so.
Normal page editing concepts apply to the template (including concepts such as Editwarring, revert limits, harmonious editing and disputed editing)
If the template remains unchallenged/status unchanged for 7 days, the candidate may be granted the admin flag by a bureaucrat.
If consensus is that the candidate is not suited for adminship, or if no consensus can be found after 14-21 days, the proposed adminship is said to have failed.
A candidate may re-apply after 3-4 months (this is to prevent the need to create a new account if a request fails.)
