In the voting phase, the candidate subpages will close to public questions and discussion, and everyone who qualifies to vote will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote totals cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate's vote total during the election. The suffrage requirements are similar to those at RFA.
Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for approximately four days, perhaps longer. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the results page (this is a good page to watchlist), and transcluded to the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, a candidate must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose), and a minimum of 20 support votes. Because this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("crat chats").
Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.

That was not the point. We cannot include a link to a website guiding users on how to grow illegal mushrooms. I will remove it again if you add it again. As aboveso below10:25, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@As above Why do you want to delete it? I'm tired of recreating everything. Please help... I'm begging you so much.... how do I undo the deletion? Try giving me an example. You said you wanted to discuss it. Try where I can explain why it can't be deleted???? Muhd Affiq Affiqal (talk) 11:07, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I actually do not care whether it is deleted or not. All I am doing is making sure that you do not disrupt the process by removing the required template on the page informing people of the deletion discussion. If you continue to disrupt things, you will end up being blocked. I suggest you take a step back. As aboveso below11:10, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@As above once again I ask why it needs to be deleted, what is the reason and can you explain to me why it needs to be deleted....if it has already been deleted, can I re-create the article? Please cooperate, thank you. Muhd Affiq Affiqal (talk) 11:15, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@As above If I am blocked, how can I not block you from editing the Wikipedia articles that I will create in the future?. And one more thing I want to ask is can I edit and improve the articles and correct them...because most of the changes are on the main Wikipedia???? please message me now!!! I want to know about sex, please let me know Muhd Affiq Affiqal (talk) 11:21, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Following a request for comment, there is a new policy outlining the granting of permissions to view the IP addresses of temporary accounts. Temporary account deployment on the English Wikipedia is currently scheduled for September 2025, and editors can request access to the permission ahead of time. Admins are encouraged to keep an eye on the request page; there will likely be a flood of editors requesting the permission when they realize they can no longer see IP addresses.
South Asia (WP:CT/SA) is designated a contentious topic. The topic area is specifically defined as All pages related to the region of South Asia (India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal), broadly construed, including but not limited to history, politics, ethnicity, and social groups.
Wikimania 2025 is happening in Nairobi, Kenya, and online from August 6 to August 9. This year marks 20 years of Wikimania. Interested users can join the online event. Registration for the virtual event is free and will remain open throughout Wikimania. You can register here now.
Just to give context for some of the vandalism from User:Fijihindiisnotofficiallanguage or whatever the user's name is that you rightly reverted, it appears to be racially or nationalistically motivated based on my knowledge of Fijian politics which is pretty extensive. If it continues non-stop it may require arbitration. Schestos (talk) 23:50, 11 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
An RfC is open on whether use of emojis with no encyclopedic value in mainspace and draftspace (e.g., at the start of paragraphs or in place of bullet points) should be added as a criterion under G15.
An RfC is in progress to amend the structure, rules, and procedures of the Arbitration Committee election and resolve any issues not covered by existing rules.
The RFC phase of the July 2025 administrator elections has started. There are 10 RFCs for consideration. You can participate in the RFC phase at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/July 2025/RFCs.
Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.

After a motion, arbitration enforcement page protections no longer need to be logged in the AELOG. A bot now automatically posts protections at WP:AELOG/P. To facilitate this bot, protection summaries must include a link to the relevant CT page (e.g. [[WP:CT/BLP]]), and you will receive talk page reminders if you forget to specify the contentious topic but otherwise indicate it is an AE action.

Hello! Voting in the 2025 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 1 December 2025. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
The process will have a seven day call for candidates phase, a two day pause, a five day discussion phase, and a seven day private vote using SecurePoll. Discussion and questions are only allowed on the candidate pages during the discussion phase.
The outcome of this process is identical to making a request for adminship. There is no official difference between an administrator appointed through RFA versus administrator elections.
Ask any questions about the process at the talk page. Later, a user talk message will be sent to official candidates with additional information about the process.
If you are interested in the process, please make sure to watchlist the appropriate pages. A watchlist notice will be added when the discussion phase opens, and again when the voting phase opens.
