Welcome to the candidate sign-up page for the December 2025 administrator elections!
Administrators help keep Wikipedia running smoothly by performing administrative tasks that need restricted tools such as blocking editors, protecting pages, and deleting pages.
Editors interested in becoming administrators may use either this process, or the traditional Wikipedia:Requests for adminship process. Administrators chosen through either method will have the same technical abilities to perform administrative actions, and the same responsibility to use administrative privileges with care. If you feel you are ready to take on the role, we encourage you to add your name below.
The only requirement is that you be extended-confirmed on the English Wikipedia; however, the community’s expectations of administrators are much higher. Prospective candidates are advised to familiarize themselves with these expectations. This includes reviewing successful and unsuccessful RFAs, reading advice pages, and possibly requesting a poll on their chances of passing.
Candidates are encouraged to find a nominator to support their candidacy, to increase their chances. However, this is not required.
The call for candidates phase for the December 2025 administrator elections has opened. The call for candidates phase will be open from 25 November 2025 00:00 UTC until 1 December 2025, 23:59 UTC.
To submit a candidacy
- Create a candidate page using the box below. This subpage will be very similar to a Wikipedia:Requests for adminship subpage, containing the nomination section, the three standard questions, and a general discussion section.
- Once you have created a nomination, add it to the list of candidates below using {{Admin election candidate}}. Edit the page and look at the code and comments for details.
Please make sure that you are available for the discussion phase from December 4–8. The call for candidates will close on December 1, 2025 at 23:59 UTC.
