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.

An inactive administrator, bureaucrat, or an abuse filter administrator who has not published an edit, logged an action, or an abuse filter modification within the last three months will be demoted. Users may re-request the rights at any time.

Stewards will be demoted after six months of inactivity, and a system administrator after a year of inactivity. These rights can only be reinstated after a reconfirmation vote.

Grace periods

Grace periods were an optional way to enforce this policy. This involved setting an inactive user's rights to expire after two weeks, rather than removing them immediately; this allows the inactive user to receive a notification, prompting them to return to activity and revert the changes made to their rights. They have now been replaced by an automated process.
