Requests for adminship, abbreviated as RfA, are requests for users to be granted administrator positions on My English Wiki. As the wiki's community size and article count grows, more administrators may be required to maintain its operation, as well as replace administrators who have become inactive. RfAs can be closed early if current administrators see that the candidate has little chance of success, but only an administrator may do this. Requests may also be withdrawn at the request of the nominee or the person who nominated them.
