This is a checklist that people can refer to before nominating a user for RfA. As it says at the top, it is only a starting point for checking a user's contributions, and is not the be-all and end-all. Common sense and good judgement are also required. The choices of what links to include are also affected by the biases of Mr. Stradivarius, the template's author. See Wikipedia:Advice for RfA candidates for more advice about what to look for in potential adminship candidates.

This template is only usable in preview mode. This is because it should only be used for vetting a user for RfA, and saving the page is not necessary for that. Also, users may think it insensitive to find transclusions of this template lying around, particularly if they do not wish to run for adminship. (See pages transcluding this template.)
