Template:Recent RfX/doc

NOTE: The community consensus is to list only the three most recent RfXs unless they are newer than three months. In no case will more than seven recent RfXs be displayed in the table. Rows removed from this template are added to Wikipedia:Requests for adminship by year.

Parameters

NOTE: All parameters are required, unless noted below.

• Parameter 1: Enter the letter A if the recent RfX was an "RfA", enter a B if it was an "RfB", or AE if it was an Administrator election. Defaults to A.
• Parameter 2: The candidate's username. For administrator elections, this is the path after administrator election in the URL e.g. Date/Candidates/X.
• Parameter 3: The candidate's subsequent RfA or RfB application number (if any previous applications for the same user permissions exist). Leave blank if it's their first.

  Expand the Parameter 3 Additional Details box below for further explanation.

Parameter 3 Additional Details

If the candidate is filing an RfA application, and this is the first time that the candidate has filed an RfA application, leave this parameter blank. If the candidate is filing an RfB application, and this is the first time that the candidate has filed an RfB application, leave this parameter blank - even if the candidate has one or more RfA applications filed in the past. If the candidate is filing a subsequent RfA or RfB application (this is their second, third, fourth, etc application), enter 2, 3, 4, etc. This applies only to previous RfA nominations if the user is applying for RfA again, and only to previous RfB nominations if the user is applying for RfB again. Example: If the candidate applied for RfA three times and was successful on their third application, and applied for RfB once and is applying for RfB a second time, you would enter 2, as RfA applications are separate from RfBs.

• Parameter 4: Date of closure. Always outputs day, not zero padded; month, abbreviated; and four-digit year, using the #time ParserFunction. Example with today: 16 Nov 2024.
• Parameter 5: The number of total support votes that the RfA/RfB discussion closed with.
• Parameter 6: The number of total oppose votes that the RfA/RfB discussion closed with.
• Parameter 7: The number of total neutral votes that the RfA/RfB discussion closed with.
• Parameter 8: The symbol for the result of the RfA/RfB discussion after closure. The list of symbols and their associated result descriptions are below.
• Parameter 9: (Optional and only necessary if Parameter 8 is set to BL) The diff ID or diff comparison IDs showing the block notification or discussion.
  • Examples: For Special:Diff/123456789, enter "123456789". For Special:Diff/123456789/1184832162, enter "123456789/1184832162".

• NC = No consensus
