Meta:Administrators/Removal (inactivity)
 | The following page documents an official Meta-Wiki policy. This page has been developed and approved by the community and its compliance is mandatory for all users. It must not be modified without prior community approval. |
The next formal administrator review takes place on: April 1, 2027
Removal criteria
- Administrators who have made fewer than ten edits in the six months immediately prior to the designated removal date (April 1 or October 1) are desysopped without notice.
- Administrators who have made more than ten edits but fewer than ten actions requiring admin privileges (remember, this includes edits to protected pages, etc.) in the same period are given a week to indicate they would like to retain their access. Users in this category are to be notified on the first day, and adminship is removed without notice on the seventh day if there is no response.
- Administrators who are desysopped also lose bureaucrat, interface administrator and CentralNotice administrator rights, if they have them, but not translation administrator rights.
- Interface administrators who are not also local administrators lose their access if they fail to make at least 10 global edits in the last 6 months. This is to be checked every April 1 and October 1 as well.
- CentralNotice administrators that are not Meta-Wiki administrators will automatically lose the permission if they have not made any edit or logged action for which this permission is required in the last 12 months immediately prior to the designated review date (October 1).
- Any translation administrator inactive on Meta will have their translationadmin user right removed. "Inactivity" is defined as total inactivity (no edits or logged actions) in the past two years. This is to be checked every April 1 and October 1.

Notes
- Use /Template/ for construction of removal pages.
- Notification templates: /RemovalNoticeAutomatic/, /RemovalNoticeProposed/, /RemovalNoticeNoResponse/. (need to be substed)
- One useful resource is Xtools Adminstats. Please remember to exclude temporary administrators from the removal and those who were elected or re-elected within the last 6 months.
- Another page to check is User:Krd/inactive admins.
