Test Wiki:Inactivity policy

The following page documents an official Test Wiki policy. This page has been elaborated and approved by the community or a system administrator and compliance with it is mandatory for all users. Changes to it should reflect consensus. In the case of a conflict between the English version and a translation, the English version takes precedence.

Any administrators, bureaucrats, or non-steward suppressors that have no edits or logged actions within the last three months will be demoted for inactivity. Abuse filter administrators who have not edited an abuse filter in the last 3 months will also be demoted. They may re-request the rights at any time. Stewards will be demoted after 6 months of inactivity. System administrators after a year. These rights may be restored within 1 hour of them being removed; otherwise, a reconfirmation vote will be held.

Grace periods

Grace periods are an optional way of enforcing this policy. Grace periods involve making the inactive user's rights expire in 2 weeks when they would have otherwise been removed in 2 weeks. It adds extra notification to the inactive user, who can always change their rights back.
