 Comments are often responded to, and discussion commonly takes place within the candidate's nomination section. Try to avoid heated arguments and remain calm. Support or opposition should also not be based on friendships or rivalries. If a candidate has had a disagreement with you or a friend of yours in the past, do not simply oppose the candidate's nomination for that reason.

A '''request for adminship''' ('''RfA''') is the process by which users of the Assassin's Creed Wiki decide whether or not a candidate will be granted additional tools that aid in maintenance of the wiki. A user may either submit his or her own request for adminship (a self-nomination) or be nominated by another user.

==Overview==
RfA is the means by which the community develops consensus on whether an editor should be given [[Assassin's Creed Wiki:Administrators|administrator]] rights, such as the abilities to delete and protect pages, edit protected pages, and block users.

The community generally grants administrative rights to trusted users, so nominees have a higher chance of passing a request after having edited on the wiki for a significant amount of time.

===Requirements for nomination===
*Candidates should be well-known, trusted, and helpful contributors to the wiki.
*Candidates should have been an active contributor to the wiki for a significant amount of time without long gaps in editing.
*Candidates should present a clear need or use for the tools (i.e. significant amounts of counter-vandalism, etc.).
*If an RfA fails, a sufficient amount of time should pass before the candidate is nominated again.

;Nomination standards
:Any registered user (no I.P. addresses) may nominate another registered user (again - no I.P. addresses) for administrative rights, or a user may be self-nominated. Potential candidates may inform other users of their desire to undergo a request if they wish to avoid self-nomination. Adminship is usually only granted if the user demonstrates a need for the tools.

;Expressing opinions
:Any user with an account is welcome to comment on requests. Comments should assess not only the use or need a candidate has demonstrated for the tools with which they would be provided, but they should also reflect upon his or her leadership ability and and skill at diplomacy - necessary qualities for an administrator. '''Remember to keep the wiki's best interest in mind when assessing a possible candidate.'''

Comments are often responded to, and discussion commonly takes place within the candidate's nomination section. Try to avoid heated arguments and remain calm. Support or opposition should also not be based on friendships or rivalries. If a candidate has had a disagreement with you or a friend of yours in the past, do not simply oppose the candidate's nomination for that reason.
