- Note: It is recommended to first ask the candidate to withdraw. If the candidate agrees, these steps will be necessary anyway, as it is not likely that a new editor would know how to properly withdraw.
Instructions on how to SNOW/NOTNOW an RfA
- add {{subst:rfaf}} and {{subst:rfab}} to top and bottom, respectively
- Remove the "Voice your opinion" links and the RfATally template, using the instructions below
- remove the Voice Your Opinion link
- Untransclude from WP:RFA
- Notify the candidate
- add it to the list of unsuccessful candidacies.
- add it to the list of Wikipedia:Unsuccessful adminship candidacies (Chronological)
- add it to the list of Wikipedia:2024 requests for adminship
*Closed per [[WP:NOTNOW]] by ~~~~
See an example here. That included all the steps on the RfA itself in one edit.
