Facial hair as sported by a typical Wikipedia administrator. Anything less than a luxuriant Handlebar moustache may cause concern
Good coverage but lack of length may result in early RfA closure per WP:NOTNOW
Female administrator wondering if the extra buttons were worth the effort
Facial hair is required for adminship, no doubt. As administrators discuss age issues at Requests for adminship, some users have taken it upon themselves to install the guideline establishing that in order to be an administrator on the English Wikipedia, the user in question must have facial hair, be over the age of 50, and must be unmarried. (Some users distinguish that Orthodox administrators may have at most one wife, but may not be further promoted to bureaucrat; this has been denounced as disruptive POV-pushing; see mediation discussion.)
- Beard - must be exactly 25 centimeters in length, no less, no more
- Moustache - Must be 15 centimeters in width,
nopreferably Fu Manchu moustachecrap. - Hair must be cropped.
