Wikipedia:Administrators' newsletter/Guide
Some guidance and notes for writing each section of the administrators' newsletter.
If another way to find information for a section occurs to you, just add it!
New administrators
- A chronological list of successful requests for administrator rights can be found at Wikipedia:Successful requests for adminship. Simply list the administrators promoted in the previous month.
Guideline and policy news
- Look through the Village Pump archives for the previous month, to see if any RfCs were closed.
- See what was listed at Template:Centralized discussion one and two months ago, to see if any of the RfCs have since been closed.
Technical news
- Look through last month's editions of Tech News to see if anything is relevant to administrators.
Arbitration
- List notices from Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Noticeboard pertaining to arbitration enforcement or discretionary sanctions, but not individual users.
Ongoing backlogs
- Check Category:Administrative backlog and/or Template:Admin dashboard for areas currently backlogged and requiring administrator attention.
Featured administrator
- Check Wikipedia:Administrators' newsletter/Featured administrator for nominations, and otherwise feel free to pick an administrator you've seen doing good work this month.
