Requests for comment/Include interface administrators for AAR

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

The following request for comments is closed. unanimous support


AAR was adopted in 2013, and Interface admins were introduced in 2018. Currently AAR in scope does not cover INTADMIN, and that is just against the spirit of AAR. While most INTADMINs are also admins, so we can monitor them for inactivity, but there is no grounds for removal of INTADMIN in AAR, because INTADMINs are not (in text) within the scope of AAR.

The current wording as of the latest revision is —

The maximum time period of inactivity without community review for holders of advanced administrative rights should be two years.

For clarity, holders of advanced administrative rights in this document are defined as

  • administrators
  • bureaucrats
  • oversight
  • checkusers
  • stewards

I propose this to be changed to — (addition underlined)

The maximum time period of inactivity without community review for holders of advanced administrative rights should be two years.

For clarity, holders of advanced administrative rights in this document are defined as

  • administrators
  • bureaucrats
  • oversight
  • checkusers
  • interface administrators
  • stewards

There were other suggestions about applying AAR on INTADMINs (Talk:Admin activity review#AAR for Interface-admin), but I'm trying to get it passed before AAR2020 starts, therefore I am trying to make it as simple as possible. — regards, Revi 02:35, 17 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Proposing close date[edit]

The proposal though started in October 2019, was not promoted to the community until January 5 via the main page. I propose close date of 1 month after that, so closing: February 5, 2020.  — billinghurst sDrewth 00:48, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
