At Wikipedia:Administrator elections/July 2025/RFC workshop#Q1. Pass percentage it is proposed that a question be asked about reducing the pass percentage (currently 70%). Fanfanboy has pointed out that it would be logical to consider reducing the pass-percentage for reconfirmation elections (currently 55%) at the same time. Please discuss this at the linked section.

that’s for administrator elections. A re-RfA isn’t in the format of an AELECT. ^EF⁵ 22:41, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It can be; see WP:RECALL#Re-request for adminship. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 22:42, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Huh, didn’t know that. It should be specified that we’re talking about a re-AE then. ^EF⁵ 22:45, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 You are invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/July 2025/RFCs. In particular, a change in the AELECT pass percentage (Q1) could affect recall, since recall might want to change its pass percentage too to stay in sync. –Novem Linguae (talk) 08:57, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
