<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.

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.
