So you want to be an admin? My condolences. That's like signing up to be a waste disposal engineer (garbageman).
However, if you really want to be an admin, what follows is a short guide on how to become one. Everything that follows has been taken from Wikipedia pages. In particular, some of the information comes from the comments of users voting on specific RfA's at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship.
If you have comments or edits, please do so at User talk:Richardshusr/So you want to be an admin. I will update this page from comments made there.
