Administrators' Newsletter
October 2024
Administrator elections are a proposed new process for selecting administrators, offering an alternative to requests for adminship (RfA). The first trial election will take place in October 2024, with candidate sign-up from October 8 to 14, a discussion phase from October 22 to 24, and SecurePoll voting from October 25 to 31. For questions or to help out, please visit the talk page at Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections. Following a discussion, the speedy deletion reason "File pages without a corresponding file" has been moved from criterion G8 to F2. This does not change what can be speedily deleted. A request for comment is open to discuss whether there is a consensus to have an administrator recall process. The arbitration case Historical elections has been closed. An arbitration case regarding Backlash to diversity and inclusion has been opened.
