<big>'''I cannot stress this enough:'''</big> Please [[WP:BRD|be bold]] and add new scoring criteria yourself if you think of any. I don't touch all admin areas, so I can't know how big of a score everything should get. Don't be afraid because it's in my userspace. (I thinking of moving it to Wikipedia-space, it's getting more support than I expected.)
 
As a way to help deal with the backlogs, I ([[User:Grandmasterka]]) would like to propose an informal admin backlog contest. This was inspired by [http[Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_adminship/Archive_81Archive 81#More_fuel_to_the_fire |this discussion]] on [[WT:RFA]], with deletion stats for each admin, and something similar to this was proposed for the future when the backlogs became large for days or weeks at a time (see NoSeptember's final comment in the above-linked discussion.) This may be that time.
 
The admin backlog contest would take place during an agreed-upon week, or perhaps start and end each consecutive week. The weekly winner would be recognized with a wikicertificate and be acknowledged in the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost|Wikipedia Signpost]]. The totals could be entirely self-reported, or it could be overseen by an admin who would recuse themselves from the contest, and the contest could focus on all areas, or a different area each week.
 
==Scoring==
Scoring for the admin backlog contest could be as follows (work in progress:)
 
===Deletions===
*1 point for non-image speedy deletions, or proper removal of a speedy tag.
*3 points for image speedy deletions, or proper removal of a speedy tag (images must be removed from any articles they are in!)
*3 points for every [[Wikipedia:Deletion debates|XfD]] closure.
*5 points for deletion of an image in a fair use backlog.
*5 points for deletion of copyright violations.
*7 points for resolving an image in a fair use backlog without deleting it, including adding a sufficient fair use rationale to an image that was up for deletion.
*-50&minus;25 points for non-speedy deletions that are later overturned as a result of a [[WP:DRV|deletion review]] or other discussion/complaint.
*-75&minus;50 points for speedy deletions that are later overturned as a result of a [[WP:DRV|deletion review]] or other discussion/complaint.
 
===Blocking===
 
*2 points for each block on [[WP:AIV]].
*1 point for each sockpuppet whack-a-mole block.
*2 points for each block on [[WP:AIV]] or [[WP:UAA]].
*3 points for closing a [[WP:3RR]] report.
*10 points for properly resolved [[WP:SSP]] reports.
*-100&minus;20 points for blocks that are later overturned after community discussion on one of the noticeboards.
*1 point for taking administrative action in response to an [[WP:AN/I]] or [[WP:AN]] thread of any other kind. (i.e. blocking for legal threats reported on AN/I, etc. ''note: only counts for administrative actions that would show up in an administrator log.'' )
*1 point for declining an unblock request after investigating the situation.
*5 points for granting an unblock request after consultation with the blocking admin or on [[WP:ANI]].
 
===Backlogs===

*1 point for [[WP:Proposed deletion|prod'ing]] autobiographical vanityspamcruft, or striking a valid article from AlexBot's list
*1 point for removing an invalid [[WP:AIV]] entry ONLY IF: either the automated template, or a personalized message explaining why is left on the reporter's talk page.
*1 point for each [[WP:UWT|user warning]] issued. (2 points for level 2 warnings, 3 points for level 3, etc.)
*1 point for [[WPWikipedia:Proposed deletion|prod'ing]] autobiographical vanityspamcruft[[WP:VSCA|vanispamcruftisement]], or striking a valid article from AlexBot's list
*1 point for each [[WP:UWT|user warning]] issued. (2 points for level 2 warnings, 3 points for level 3, etc.)
*&minus;5 points if issuing admin retracts

*3 points for making a wording change to a protected template or system message as the result of a [[CAT:PER]] request.
*5 points for making a content change in response to a [[CAT:PER]] request; 3 points for correctly declining a [[CAT:PER]] request.
*&minus;20 points if such a change is later reverted.
*8 points for making a technical change to a high-risk template or system message in response to a [[CAT:PER]] request.
*&minus;30 points if the change has to be reverted because it breaks the template in question.
*&minus;80 points if the change has to be reverted because it breaks the system message and messes up the site.
 
===Other===
* 3 points for [[WP:ACC|creating an account for another user who can't]].
* 3 points for declining an inappropriate [[WP:ACC]] request.
* 1 point for other administrative action that is not listed here.
 
==Disqualification==
*Automatic disqualification for being involuntarily desysopped during the contest.
*Automatic disqualification for being a subject of an [[WP:RFAR|arbitration committee case]] regarding one's use of the admin tools.
*Disqualification for [[WP:BITE|newbie-biting]] or gaming the system as a result of this contest. Please tell newbies who visit your talk page about Wikipedia's applicable policies and [[WP:DRV]], if necessary, and be honest with yourself if you deleted something that was obviously worth keeping and someone complains. Remember, this is only a game as a means of lessening Wikipedia's backlogs, and should not trump any of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
*Any scoring penalties for reversions obviously do not apply to self-reverts.
