This whole page has been shamelessly copied from something by WBOSITG, and Malinaccier; but as its on Wikipedia I'm sure it will change as we go along.
| Please note: This shouldn't be used to simply gain adminship. The questions are designed to help you understand what being an admin is about, rather than how to answer optional RfA questions. Keep in mind that adminship is no big deal; if you edit purely to gain the tools, you will be sorely disappointed when you receive them, as they are nothing special. |
Welcome to your admin coaching page,
ImperatorExercitus (talk · message · contribs · page moves · edit summaries · count · api · logs · block log · email)!
Throughout the page, "I" refers to both me ϢereSpielChequers "you" refers to, well, you and we refers to both of us.
Phase one deals with questions designed to let the coach know what the coachee's best contributions are, and what their general strengths and weaknesses are while editing. It could develop article writing skills, something look upon with importance.
Phase two is all about policy. The admin coach will ask several series of questions dealing with policies that will be used extensively in their role as administrator. The responses will be marked and built upon.
Phase three has to do with Wikiphilosophy (inclusionism/deletionism, orthodoxy on Wikipedia, et al). The coach will ask several questions about Wikiphilosophies and controversial areas of Wikipedia policy.
Phase four is a mop up phase. The coach and coachee will work on whatever weak areas still need to be addressed.

After completing the four phases, if both of us are happy I will nominate you for adminship. If we feel that more time spent in a particular phase will help you then more time will be added, but if we feel that continuing a phase won't be beneficial to you, then I will simply move on to the next.
So let's get started with phase one!
