could be designed and tested. But the intended benefit here is still eluding me. Like Garion, I can see point 1 from two perspectives. Moreover, a purged crat doesn't magically become any more contactable and I don't imagine (tho do prove me wrong!) that many projects and decisions are in limbo because people are spending months waiting for particular absentees to rematerialize and weigh in. (I can understand that the category listings may get outmoded, but if you want to contact an active bureaucrat, there is a noticeboard for that - and even if you prefer to send a private message, activity on the board would be a surefire way of knowing who's been about the last couple of days. Firing off at someone randomly selected from the category is always going to be a hit-and-miss affair, even if the very-long-term absentees have been removed.) I can also see that a liberal rule, e.g. requiring complete lack of editing for 18 months (maybe including editing at relevant sister projects, and exemption for Wikimedia staff etc.) and automatically granting rights back on request, does no apparent harm except ruleclog (I dislike ruleclog but suspect it's inevitable in a consensus model; I can sympathise with the "no implementing new solutions if they don't have clearly defined problems" camp as a result), I can't work out the proposed gain. Moreover, I can't work out how tightening the rule would reap greater benefit, and at some point an over-tight rule probably does do harm.

possible, this does not seem to have been an issue, and our selection of bureaucrats in general expects of them to be clueful in all situations, including if they are coming back from hibernation. Idly following WP:BN, I've seen examples both of long-tenure, not-very-active bureaucrats raising somewhat anachronistic viewpoints, as well as such bureaucrats acting as a welcome counterweight to active more recent bureaucrats who were getting too caught up in complexifying processes. So on this count, while AD doesn't like the wording, I agree with others saying this is a solution in of a problem and so unnecessary. Second, one can be of the philosophical persuasion that all admin functions should have term limits or inactivity limits and bureaucrats as a good starting point. I tend to be slightly opposed to this as well, though I see the point - but if that is the approach, I think we should debate and come up with an de-admining protocol first and then debate what it should mean for bureaucrats.
3679:: It seems to be that Bureaucrat is one of those positions that is best performed by being a Bureaucrat as little as possible. I haven't seen anyone state a clear need for Bureaucrats to be continually active. We don't want Bureaucrats using their power capriciously; that's why the power isn't handed out like candy. However, by telling Bureaucrats "you must use your special powers or they will be taken from you," wouldn't we be encouraging them to act capriciously? Would not a person in that position start looking for an excuse, any excuse, to do something that would reset the clock? I fear that this proposal would lead to bad judgements, because Bureaucrats would no longer choose whether or not to exercise their powers based solely on the issues at hand; they would start factoring in "...but it's been a while since I did anything, so even though I have doubts, I guess I'll do this..." Without any argument 1030:
We currently list 1741 editors with administrative privileges, but this does in no way equal the amount of active users as only a fraction still edits. My condition is that this "De-rights" process only applies to extremely inactive users, for example, who have not made a single edit in 2-3 years. This can easily be run as a batch job with little user involvement, so bureaucracy would be little. I am aware that people will argue "Nothing bad happened so far, so why 'fix' it"? I would however argue that a security issue is an issue even if not exploited - especially if fixing it would generate negligible negative response.
1020:. I would point out that a generally accepted computer security methodology is limiting system access to the absolute minimum unless otherwise required. Every bureaucrat/administrator is technically a small though ever present security risk - man cannot remove administrator/bureaucrat rights due to this risk because the rights are needed, but i see no reason why someone who is completely inactive should retain rights. As a secondary concern i would point out that (very) long absence would mean that a users knowledge of Knowledge policies degenerates due to policy changes or simple "forgetting". 985:
longer-standing bureaucrats. Fine. Creating a catch-all administrative process encompassing all current and future bureaucrats, so that a subset of them can be stripped of their tools is a poor solution. Either decide that the group damages the encyclopedia because of their tools (you'll need to find some evidence) and then tackle them individually as you would an abusive admin, or decide that actually, there's no evidence of misuse of tools and no real danger of it without recourse, in which case... --
3356:- we can discuss the details later; time period, and possible considerations for re-application, etc. But if they've been inactive for years...is it really a big deal to have to re-apply? Some say it is unnecessary, and solves a non-existent problem; well, if that is the biggest downside, then is that really significant? Because the up-side is improved security, prevention of damage, etc etc. Seems a no-brainer to me; I see no compelling reason for someone inactive for a huge length of time to 638:, at least support for exploring this further. I'm broadly sympathetic to the idea that such positions should not come with tenure. On the other hand, I'm not seeing evidence that this has been a major problem. Based on the discussion so far, I'd say that any workable proposal should count all editing activity as being active, and should only allow removal after the person has been contacted and been given a fair opportunity to respond that they are still active. -- 740:
enjoyed the confidence of the community (whether due to inactivity or otherwise) could be removed. I think there is merit in what SilkTork proposes - a yearly reconfirmation requirement for bureaucrats makes sense to me and may be a better option than recall. I'm not saying a new RfB every year, but that a certain level of community confidence would need to be demonstrated (even if it is just 50%+).

nearly as long or detailed as a real one) where people would ask questions about current policy\consensus\policy\ and !vote on whether they should be kept a bureaucrat. There might also be a limit on how many times they can do this (once or twice with exception of if they can mail proof to the foundation they were seriously sick or injured?). If not some kind of light reconfirmation process,

it. As to the point about there needing some sort of misconduct, it's a shame that it's seen as a waster of time to tell the rest they're doing a good job - everyone's a volunteer after all. I always thought meta's admin reconfirmation process was a good one (though I know not everyone agrees). It wouldn't scale here due to number of admins, but for crats I think it would be a good idea.
3638:: as said elsewhere, this seems to be a solution looking for a problem. If a bureaucrat has misused the tools, we have a review process for that, namely the arbitration committee, much like admins who misuse the tools. Tool use is not rocket science, and an out-of-circulation 'crat can easily become familiar with developments by a little discussion. 344:
ceased to be active 4 years ago can come in and simply regain the 'crat tools today. As for institutional knowledge... if they haven't been active for 4 years, I'm more worried about their current understanding than how things used to be. Plus, we have plenty of 'crats who have been around for years and have that institutional knowledge already.---
836:
controversial activity; however, the potential drama of that could be modified by setting up a flexible review system which gave time spans rather than fixed occasions. If the community were still significantly unsettled some months after an incident, then that would suggest the decision made by the 'crat in that incident was inappropriate.
3385:: Do we have any technical constraints on the number of bureaucrats? I doubt that wikipedia suffers through having some inactive bureaucrats remain on the roll. If the problem is one of bad bureaucrats (perhaps returning after a long break and then making some bad decisions), I think that problem should be addressed more directly... 3759:, there is no rule that says that crats have to maintain a token activity to keep their status. Crats are chosen based on the level of trust that the community has in their ability to use the tools correctly and if they misuse the tools they can be removed. There has never been a token level of activity that is expected. 3803:
time (and succeeded) even though some editors thought it should just have been granted to me by right, since I was not removed. As to the instant issue, it does seem like a problem in search of a cause: we have had bureaucrats removed for cause, and there is no reason not to continue to do this. IIRC
3528:
admin rights are also removed for inactivity. This is because 'crat rights are actually less 'dangerous' than admin rights. If a hacker hacks an admin account, chances are he wants to block users or delete pages. I can't imagine why a hacker would want to rename an account or make people admins. BTW,

their tools doesn't mean they don't deserve the position. Sometimes, the best leader is the one who remains invisible. And, I'd like to reverberate what several above me have stated-- "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Sounds to me as if someone just wants to click a de-sysop feature...create a test

and imposition of pointless bureaucracy for bureaucracy's sake. Given the rigor of the process that bureaucrats have to go through at RfB, putting fewer candidates through that process and having more approved bureaucrats at the end of the day is a good thing. And for those who have been inactive,

I would support a reconfirmation process after a certain low-activity period (perhaps average below 3edits\day for five months). Maybe "Adoption" by a current bureaucrat for a certain amount of time who would graduate or keep them longer when it finishes. Or they might go through a short "RFBR" (not

Sometimes I worry that "avoiding drama" has become a goal in itself. Where that means that issues fester unaddressed, I think it's unhealthy. As others point out below, there will only be drama if there is an issue with the conduct of a bureaucrat being reconfirmed. If there is one, I'd like to hear

as an example - We have admins with less then 1000 (Or even 200) edits, and who'se last edits have been years and years ago. Could such a person function as an admin when he or she returns after such a long break? I really doubt it. Besides, a general cleanup every now and then is never a bad idea.
277:
The "institutional memory" is nonsense really - there's nothing really an inactive bureaucrat would be able to do that an active one couldn't. This is why we appoint new ones, under ridiculous scrutiny. I think they are plenty capable, but the old ones, who for one reason or another never use their

did not support removing 'crats simply because of inactivity. TO speak only for myself, I have been inactive to mildly active on Knowledge for over two years because of personal business, which I said at the time. I would not resume bureaucratic duties until I have thoroughly reviewed the state of

I'm not sure this is the right solution to the underlying problem. Activity is only part of the picture. I suspect there are fairly inactive crats who retain community confidence and there may be active crats who do not. I would prefer a recall system for bureaucrats so that any crat who no longer

removal of access for crats who aren't editing much at all. If a crat is still a reasonably active member of the community, participates in discussions, edits, etc. and makes a crat action just occasionally, I'm fine with that, but if they barely edit at all, then I'm not sure how they can keep up

1277:
Your comment makes little sense to me. For a start, WP:CREEP – an essay which is frequently misquoted – does not really pertain to the topic at hand; please take the time to read it more carefully. Next, it should be noted that the rigorousness of RfB has not always been present. For example, see

in part. Inactive bureaucrats should be awarded the title of "Emeritus Bureaucrat". Then have new bureaucrats. When there is a shortage, then the emeritus crats can be considered to be an active one. In other words, we keep respecting them but retire them and give them priority to un-retire.
835:
If there is no cause for concern, why would there be drama? And if there is cause for drama/concern, then all the more reason to discuss it openly rather than allowing concerns to fester under suppression. There may be occasions when the timing of a review might be influential because of a recent

the inactivity. You don't find it a problem, I do. I think it's disrespectful to the community to ask for such rights and never use them (or stop using them without good reason). RFB is probably the hardest thing to pass on Wikimedia projects, so it's inappropriate that someone who got the bit in
461:
It's creating bureaucracy to manage a 'problem' that doesn't exist. It isn't just the mere minute it takes. You have to come up with standards for removal. Then you have to come up with a process for removal, including notifications via talk pages, e-mails, etc. Senseless addition of bureaucracy.
3854:
I think it should be discussed, but I don't think a single specific system or non-specific proposals are going to go far. I think a discussion should start with a few specific proposals where users comment and then if modified proposals are needed, those are drafted and users comment on those. I
3471:
Same here. Please don't take me for being hostile towards the proposal. I actually think the wiki consensus model is inherently far too resistant to change, and on principle, even in the absence of any evidence that it'd work, I'd usually support a time-limited trial if suitable benefit measures
1048:
Any permissions unused in a community-defined idle period (I suggest 365 days) should be removed without prejudice to reduce the impact of an idle account being hacked. The permissions should be restored for the asking once the editor in question requests them, presuming the 365-day idle period
949:
for one simple reason: I don't think it's good for long-inactive users to have extraordinary rights such as that of bureaucrat. Beside providing that inactive bureaucrats be de-bureaucratted, we could also include a provision that a de-bureaucratted account, upon becoming active again, could be
720:
There has been discussion bubbling under for a little while that the community should have the opportunity to review the activity of admins, bureaucrats, stewards, et al, at regular periods to ensure that the community trust is being upheld. I'm not sure that inactivity in itself is cause for me
158:. A proper definition of "highly inactive" is yet to be determined; such a discussion should probably wait till the basic principle is adopted. The intention is rather that we discuss the merits and faults of the idea, as well as potential alternatives. Thanks in advance for your participation. — 1328:

the concept. Conditional on taking a markedly different approach to the one that Commons takes with admins. For the record, I do not understand why this is being restricted to crats. But if this is to be brought in, it should be based on inactivity of all kinds, not just a lack of crat or admin
503:
Or stop using them without good reason? What? So, bureaucrats will have to come to a review board to determine if they have a good reason to stop using them, or else suffer...what? The rest of your arguments don't suggest bureaucrat removal, they suggest reconfirmation. That's a different beast
225:
at this time. There are two ways of framing this (see AD's raising of the topic at WT:BN). First, driven by a sense that inactive bureaucrats can now "reactivate" themselves at will and could misjudge consensus given changing mores of the community - i.e, a specific issue for this role. While

the proposal more compelling than "some subset of Bureaucrats have been inactive, and at least one such Bureaucrat made a decision that at least one editor felt was made only because said Bureaucrat was out of touch"... I can't see that the benefits outweigh the risks of this proposal. //
3238:
People can sometimes be busy with stuff and not be able to help. They will always, one day or another, come back and return to activity. Having bureaucrats that are busy (a.k.a. inactive) doesn't hurt anybody, and there isn't a limit on the number of bureaucrats that can be on a wiki.

from 2004, which passed (10/0/0) with no questions asked. Finally, the statement that this proposal "will not function as a deterrent to " misses a crucial point: The proposal will affect not just the current group of inactive bureaucrats, but those who will be inactive in the future.
865:
I've always been against term limits as it will serve to cause people (crats/sysops) to, even subconciously, try and cater to what they perceive is the whim of the people as opposed to filling their duties and making tough decisions. Bits can always be removed through an RfAR. I
3277:
it may be appropriate. Most often if someone loses their bits, they can ask for them back, and get them back without a question asked (Unless arbcom/jimbo/community says otherwise). I would assume that they could say something like "I don't want my 'crat taken away".
3737:
The same argument can be used against 'active' bureaucrats. We know who they are, therefore they can be targeted. Whether a bureaucrat is active or not has no effect on whether they can or would be hacked. The more central issue is requiring more secure passwords.
483:
2004 with 8 votes (all from people who haven't edited in years) and never used it, still has the right to use them, but someone just as capable editing actively today will be turned down for "not been an admin a year, not enough featured articles"-type thing.
3813:
I would support asking both admins AND 'crats on their talk pages if they intend to become active again or if they would voluntarily give up their bits. I would support a non-response for a full year as meaning they are not interested. -- Cheers, your loving
330:
on principle. As with sysops (which I also support and have supported in the past), this would go a long way in dispelling the notion that we have some cabal, group of elite, etc. This would also reflect the ever-changing and evolving community that we have.
440:
Don't need a catastrophe to implement a new idea. We also don't need a problem to introduce a new idea. There are what, 30-something bureaucrats? It'll take about a minute to remove inactive ones. That's it. Hardly bureaucracy. Just simplistic housekeeping.
1195:
Aw, I hadn't noticed that Angela resigned. I need to pay more attention. That's the trouble of being an IP, I can't have a watchlist. But that's two 'crats to have resigned this year (plus X! temporarily) after have no resignations in three years.
1103:, which is already at toxic levels anyway. I would like to see what happens when an administrator steps away from his computer for a year, comes back, and gazes in horror at what's been wrought by those who've been at Knowledge the whole time. 383:
solution looking for a problem. Has any inactive bureaucrat ever created a problem? Why on earth even propose this solution when no problem has been identified? The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy.
278:
tools, or use them badly, I believe are not so much. Bureaucratship is completely overrated for what it is, so I don't see why it should be a big deal for inactives to have it taken from them. If they never use it, they won't miss it.

no actions in the last year is pretty inactive. They can always be re-nominated. Especially the ones who haven't been active for two years. Also as above its a security issue to keep people with rights they haven't used for years. --

Martinp raises an important point here; "old hand" bureaucrats often supply useful institutional memory: even if semi-active/rarely active, they may be able to provide insight into aspects of a situation that newer bureaucrats have
261:
I find this point relatively unimportant. Knowledge and its community change quickly, and old practice is old practice for a reason. I for one can't recall a recent situation in which an "old hand" has provided unique insight.

Those of you who know me probably recall that I was the most active bureaucrat for quite a while in the early days of the bureaucracy. You may also recall that I withdrew voluntarily for a year and stood for the bureaucracy a

technical removal of privileges for inactivity, with their restoration upon request. It's never a good idea to leave extra privileges hanging around, waiting to get hacked, especially when the targets are freely known.

be partial to the concept that an incative crat/sysop of significant duratino (1+ year) would need some kind of "refresher" class before re-entering the venues as policies and accepted practice does change over time. --
769:
I'm against that. A !vote should only be resorted to in the case of perceived misuse of the tools. We shouldn't be wasting our time on them just because it happens to have been 12 months since the last inquisition.
705:
For the exact same reason I opposed this the last time it came up, it is a solution in search of a problem to solve, nobody has demonstrated that there are significant ongoing problems caused by inactive crats.
967:, the bureaucrat permission allows conferring of significant rights and users who are not up to date with the policies on conferring those rights (evidenced by absence from the community) should not keep them. 3855:
think in this case it'll be the details which will be the make/break rather than the general thing, and hopefully people would approach it with a collaborative outlook and they will compromise where they can.
721:
personally to lose trust in someone - each case would need to be examined on its merits. So I am not in favour of removing inactive people, but I am in favour of the principle of a periodic check up.
3661:
It's not a bad idea to instantiate the idea that privileges are not retained forever. I see no possible harm in striking privileges after prolonged inactivity. A zero-pain precautionary measure.
1329:
necessary. I've grown quite irritated with the "solution in search of a problem" cliché being used as justification to oppose anything in sight, as seems to be an issue in this discussion.

this right - a right that we are so very careful to assign, these days. It only becomes a big deal if we have to endlessly discuss it; really, it's a trivial issue, given long timeframes.

closer, but its not Jeff, it's you. This is creating yet more unneeded process to correct a "problem" that's not actually a problem. This idea is wrongheaded and unnecessary. --

I'm of the mind that any proposal like this should come from without, not from within. Any removal of inactive bureaucrats will create a hegemony in the remainder. –
1156:, edited infrequently and easily watchlisted. The criteria for "active" should be loose and generous, along the lines of "keeps up to date with current practices". 3698:
Your objection misses the mark. The inactivity time scales we are discussing are on the order of months and years, not days and weeks as you seem to be assuming. —
128: 307:
As nobody has ever provided a single solid argument in keeping inactive bureaucrats, but plenty of good arguments for removal, supporting is the only way to go.
198:
on the grounds of lack of evidence that this is actually a problem, much less a problem of such magnitude that we need a process specifically to deal with it.
1177:
There should be no pressure on bureaucrats discovering real life responsibilities to resign. The wisdom of old experience is only valued when it is needed.
3304:
almost half of the 'crats haven't made a 'crat action in over 1.5 years, probably no need for them if they're not using them (As i said in my comment above)
1279: 545: 98: 593:
That was the first thing that came to mind. There may be more problems, or a bigger problem, that I'm not recalling at the moment but someone else might.

I can understand that some people might feel uneasy with "50% of bureaucrats are inactive" but in what sense does a mass decrat solve this? What exactly
