Meta talk:Administrators

Vague requirements

There's this sentence, which was first added in 2004:

If the candidate becomes a sysop, they should add their name to the Administrator list, and ensure they keep a valid user name page, links to at least one other project, and valid contact. Administrators not respecting these rules will be desysoped.

The valid contact part is clear and applicable (having a valid email address, as explained above), but the other two aren't.

• What's a user name page? Was that meant to be "the user page which their name links to", or simply "user page"?
• Is linking to other projects still necessary, now that we have Special:CentralAuth and other tools?
