Wikipedia:Inactive administrators
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Following a community discussion in June 2011, administrator accounts that have neither edits nor log actions for at least one year are subject to procedural removal of administrator permissions for inactivity, and following a 2022 community discussion, starting from 1 January 2023, administrator accounts that have made fewer than 100 edits in the last 5 years are also subject to this policy.
This page is used for coordination, to ensure that the requirements are met prior to administrator permissions being removed.
