:*If I may make a suggestion, it seems that option A is the best proposal, as it requires the consent of multiple users before a removal/recall procedure is initiated. I would say that option D seems to have the potential to lead to a number of disagreements and disputes. I understand that a similar confirmation vote was held on nlwiki in the past. (I was not yet a user on Wikimedia at the time.) I believe it was abolished there, partly because of the many disputes that arose from it.

== Proposal for a rights-bot ==

If you're on the Test Wiki's Discord server, you may already be aware of this update. For those who are not, I recently configured [[User:APBOT|APBOT]] to handle the removal of rights from inactive users, publish inactivity warnings, and update the [[Activity]] page. However, since I am not a steward, APBOT cannot directly remove the interface administrator flag. To address this, I shared the updated code with [[User:Justarandomamerican|Justa]], who is currently running the bot through his account via a cron job on a server. I propose that a dedicated bot account named "Inactivity bot" be created and placed in the <code>rights-bot</code> group. This group should be granted the following rights:

*<code>userrights</code> – for removing rights from inactive users
*<code>edit</code> – to edit user talk pages and the Activity report
*<code>createpage</code> – to create the Activity page if it does not exist
*<code>read</code> – basic read access to pages
*<code>writeapi</code> – to use the write API
*<code>noratelimit</code> – to prevent hitting API rate limits
*<code>bot</code> - to hide the bot's edits from recent changes

Additionally, the bot should only be allowed to remove rights from the following user groups:

*<code>sysop</code>
*<code>bureaucrat</code>
*<code>interface-admin</code>
*<code>autopatrolled</code>
*<code>chatmod</code>
*<code>reviewer</code>
