==Inactivity for AFAs==

Should inactivity for [[Test Wiki:Abuse filter administrators|AFAs]] be measured in regular terms, or should it be measured by the last time an abuse filter was modified by an AFA, or perhaps even the last time a filter was modified to use a restricted action or a restricted filter was modified? I'd like to know consensus on this before I go and modify the [[TW: inactivity policy| inactivity policy]].

Just like we have a disqualification section in bureaucrat policy why don’t we have a steward policy that covers how does the rights of stewards and non-steward suppressor are removed.I have noticed that some users with advanced rights i.e, steward and NSS remain inactive most of the time and come by once to make some little changes or perform actions once in 1-2 months so they can retain their rights. For example EPIC Who is a Wikimedia steward and hold administrator right at Swedish Wikipedia, I think he’s a bit busy that he can actively contribute to this project and same goes with Doug a.k.a. Dmehus who is semi active at Miraheze and really inactive at this project.Additionally X has been active for past few days. With this in mind I think we definitely need a way where the community can remove such advanced rights from the users through voting. Such a resolution can be taken place when at least one or more steward and or 5 or more Crats are supporting that proposals.This way we can hold the users accountable for misuses also [[User:TheAstorPastor|<span style="font-family:Segoe print; color:#8B0000; text-shadow:gray 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em;">The AP </span>]] ([[User talk:TheAstorPastor|<span style="font-family:Segoe print; color:#AA336A">''talk''</span>]]) 14:59, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

:While this is happening, one of the bulk changes will be an addition of the consul permission, which can handle up to 6 months of inactivity to handle their rights and instead stewards can handle up to 9 months of inactivity to handle their rights. This may interfere with this discussion. {{Font|[[User:Tailsultimatefan3891|Tailsultimatefan3891]] ^{[[User talk:Tailsultimatefan3891|talk]]}<small>[[Special:Log/Tailsultimatefan3891|logs]]</small>_{[[Special:Contributions/Tailsultimatefan3891|contribs]]}|font=Roboto}} 20:38, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

::'''Reasons for Removal'''

::The rights for stewards and NSS can be removed only under two circumstances:

::1.) Misuse of Rights: Any actions taken by a steward or NSS that are deemed as a misuse of their powers.

::2.) Inactivity: A period of inactivity that is less than that specified in the inactivity policy.

::'''Initiating a Resolution'''

::To initiate the removal of rights, a resolution must be started at the community portal. The specific requirements for starting such a resolution are as follows:

::For Stewards: The resolution must be supported by at least 2 stewards and/or 5 bureaucrats.

::For NSS: The resolution must be supported by at least 1 steward and/or 1 NSS and/or 4 bureaucrats.

::'''Discussion and Voting Period'''

::Once a resolution is initiated:

::''Discussion Period'': The discussion must last for a minimum of 14 days and can extend up to a maximum of 30 days. This period allows for a thorough and reflective conversation among community members.

::''Voting Period'': Voting will commence after one week of discussion.

::'''Voting Requirements'''

::In order to vote in the redesign, the user must have bureaucratic rights and have made 50 edits since acquiring admin rights

::'''To ensure the removal of rights:'''

::For Stewards: At least '''80%''' of the votes must support the removal.

::For NSS: At least '''70'''% of the votes must support the removal.

==Requests for approval (bot)==

Hello all, I have created a bot account named [[User:DR bot]] for maintenance tasks on this wiki. The first task I want to perform with this bot is to archive discussions on pages like the community portal, user talk pages, and other discussion venues. Therefore, I am requesting approval from the community. I'm also happy to assist with other tasks as needed. [[User:DR|DR]] ([[User talk:DR|talk]]) 16:23, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

==Translations into Chinese==

Hi. I've been doing some translations lately and was wondering which variant of Chinese to translate to. Currently most pages are translated into regional dialects, such as zh-cn and zh-tw. What I think would be better is to translate only into zh-hans (simplified Chinese) and zh-hant (traditional Chinese) in order to reduce redundancy, as all Chinese dialects use one of the two character systems. Any thoughts? <span style="font-family:monospace;">'''<nowiki>'''[[</nowiki>[[User:CanonNi]]<nowiki>]]'''</nowiki>'''</span> ([[User talk:CanonNi|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/CanonNi|contribs]]) 10:54, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

:Honestly, I think that we should only do the two main variants of Chinese (Traditional and Simplified). Regional dialects complicate things.. [[User:Justarandomamerican|Justarandomamerican]] ([[User talk:Justarandomamerican|talk]]) 18:40, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
