Question

Would it be better to change the following:

  1. [[Meta:Requests_for_adminship#Requests_for_interface_adminship|Meta:Requests for adminship]] to
    1. [[Meta:Requests_for_adminship#Requests_for_interface_adminship|Meta:Requests for adminship]] or
    2. [[Meta:Requests_for_adminship#Requests_for_interface_adminship|Meta:Requests for adminship]]
  2. [[Meta:Administrators|Administrators]] to [[Meta:Administrators|Administrators]]
  3. [[Meta:Administrators#Policy_for_requesting_adminship]] to [[Meta:Administrators#Policy_for_requesting_adminship]]
  4. [[Special:listusers/interface-admin|interface administrators]] to [[Special:listusers/interface-admin|interface administrators]]

Proposal to amend: Use RFH for admins and RFA for non-admins

Hello. Currently regular administrators may be given the interface-admin permissions upon request. In all cases I remember this was an automatic formalism. As such I don't see much point in requiring our admins to create a [[Meta:Requests for interface adminship/$admin_name]] only to be closed minutes afterwards. For those cases I think administrators should be using WM:RFH instead in order to reduce the unnecesary red tape. There's also no reduction on transparency as RfH is widely watched and in any case a diff or permalink will be used in the user rights log by the granting bureaucrat. RfH is also monthly archived.

For non-administrators, given that it requires discussion, I'd indeed keep the WM:RFA process as it requires one week of discussion which would benefit from its own place.

I am therefore proposing that the "Requesting interface adminship" heading be amended as follows:

== Requesting interface adminship ==
The process for requesting interface adminship on Meta-Wiki is different for administrators and non-administrators:

(subject to style/grammar/ortographic corrections)
