Admin Coaching is a program designed to match experienced users with administrator hopefuls for one-on-one coaching. The experienced users, being better versed in the qualities expected of a prospective admin, help the hopefuls learn the ways of Wikipedia.
This program is designed for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. Some might like suggestions about how to learn vandal patrol, or mentoring on taking an article to featured status, or guidance with a proposal they plan to make at the Village Pump, for example.
Admin Coaching does not guarantee that you will pass the RfA. Ultimately, this is your responsibility, not the responsibility of your coach. So if you come here looking for a personal coach in order to pass RFA, you're at the wrong place.
[edit] Instructions
Do not wait for the coordinator to do anything. The project coordinator (User:Fang Aili) does, at times, make efforts to contact people and connect students with coaches. However, if you wish to speed up the process, do this yourself. If you are a student who wants a coach, look at the status page and look for a coach without a student. If you are a coach and want a student, contact one near the top of the request list. Just do it. But please be sure to update the status and requests pages, so everyone knows what is going on. Thank you.
- If you need a coach, list yourself on the requests page.
- If you would like to be a coach, please list yourself on the volunteers page.
- If you are a coach or coachee, please update your status on the status page.
The current project coordinator is Fang Aili. Please contact her if you have a question or concern.
