After you make someone a sysop, please update (or ask the new admin to update) the Template:List of administrators. You can notify the newly created sysop on their talk page, and give them some good advice too, by doing this: {{subst:Template:AdminWelcome/en}} "personal remarks" ~~~~ You should then mark the candidacy ([[Meta:Requests for adminship/newlyMintedAdmin]]) as successful by adding You will see that some candidacies have special circumstances you may want to note (second try, failed, request for 'crat, reconfirmation by the community, etc.). |
