Project:Requests/RfC/Removal of inactive bureaucrats and interface admins

Proposal to remove long-term inactive bureaucrats and interface admins

 * [//www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Project:Requests/RfC/Removal_of_inactive_sysops_(2020)&action=edit Edit]


 * Related: Project:Requests/RfC/Removal of inactive sysops & Project:Requests/RfC/Removal of inactive sysops (2018)
 * Current IA/'crat statistics: https://tools.wmflabs.org/meta/stewardry/mediawikiwiki?bureaucrat=1&interface-admin=1

From the previous 2 RfCs, it seems clear that admin rights can be held indefinitely. However, neither of them mentioned about the crat and IA flag which are fairly sensitive as both (in a way) can edit the site interface and I believe that they should be subject to the admin activity review.

This is solely due to security reasons and if the user decides to come back, they can have the flag back. Minorax (talk) 10:49, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) I propose the removal of the crat flag and IA flag if the user is inactive for more than 2 years and 1 year respectively. Affected users are listed above.
 * 2) To ensure that inactive crats and IAs will have their rights removed, I am also proposing a yearly review, probably in April?. Affected users will be notified on their talk page and emails (if possible) on April 1 and if there isn't any reply to keep the flag:
 * 3) crats: A request will be posted on meta to remove the flag a week later (April 8).
 * 4) IAs: A local request for a crat to remove the flag a week later (April 8)
 * About to log off, but just a note: Stewardry is wrong. Remember the dot's last edit given is from before interface admins were a thing - used the permissions in august.

The chard above isn't an accurate list of who would be affected under the proposal. --DannyS712 (talk) 10:59, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Ah yes my bad for this sloppy work. However, the main point of this proposal would be the new policy on removing inactive right holders. The affected users will be re-checked again if this proposal passes. Thanks for your note :) Minorax (talk) 11:13, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
