Per the relevant [[WP:ACN#Staxringold restoration of permissions|motion]], could a bureaucrat please restore permissions to {{admin|Staxringold}}? Thanks!

== Admin inactivity notices for criterion 2 ==


Had to take a break some months back due to lack of time and energy. Due to recent RL events, I should have more time on my hands and would appreciate if I had access to the sysop tools restored. [[User:Isabelle Belato|Isabelle Belato]] <small><sup>[[User talk:Isabelle Belato|🏳‍🌈]]</sup></small> 03:14, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
The first round of inactivity notices for the new activity criterion are planned for 1 October. I would like the crats to provide input on the notice text. I have put a quick draft below for the first notice based on {{tl|inactive admin}}. Please feel free to edit it directly or make a template as you see fit. I'll also need the ones for the second notice and annual reminder. —&thinsp;[[User:JJMC89|JJMC89]]&thinsp;<small>([[User talk:JJMC89|T]]'''·'''[[Special:Contributions/JJMC89|C]])</small> 06:30, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Established [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Procedural removal for inactive administrators|policy]] provides for the removal of the administrative permissions of users who have made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period. Your administrative permissions will be removed if you do not return to the required activity level before the beginning of {{{{{|safesubst:}}}#time:F Y|{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} 1 {{CURRENTYEAR}}+3 months}}. {{{{{|safesubst:}}}#if:{{{crat|}}}|As bureaucrat inactivity requirements are [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats'_noticeboard/Archive_47#Request_for_comment_on_Bureaucrat_activity_requirements|tied to administrator activity]], failure to reach acceptable activity levels will also result in the loss of your bureaucrat permissions.}}

== Desysop request (Modussiccandi) ==
Inactive administrators are encouraged to engage with the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for re-engaging with the project are available at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators]]. If you do not intend to re-engage with the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard|the bureaucrats' noticeboard]].

    To contact bureaucrats to alert them of an urgent issue, please post below.
    For sensitive matters, you may contact an individual bureaucrat directly by e-mail.
    You may use this tool to locate recently active bureaucrats.

    The Bureaucrats' noticeboard is a place where items related to the Bureaucrats can be discussed and coordinated. Any user is welcome to leave a message or join the discussion here. Please start a new section for each topic.

    This is not a forum for grievances. It is a specific noticeboard addressing Bureaucrat-related issues. If you want to know more about an action by a particular bureaucrat, you should first raise the matter with them on their talk page. Please stay on topic, remain civil, and remember to assume good faith. Take extraneous comments or threads to relevant talk pages.

    If you are here to report that an RFA or an RFB is "overdue" or "expired", please wait at least 12 hours from the scheduled end time before making a post here about it. There are a fair number of active bureaucrats; and an eye is being kept on the time remaining on these discussions. Thank you for your patience.

    To request that your administrator status be removed, initiate a new section below.

    Crat tasks
    RfAs 0
    RfBs 0
    Overdue RfBs 0
    Overdue RfAs 0
    BRFAs 15
    Approved BRFAs 0
    Requests for adminship and bureaucratship update
    No current discussions. Recent RfAs, recent RfBs: (successful, unsuccessful)
    It is 06:31:19 on July 19, 2024, according to the server's time and date.

    [edit]

    Hi all

    It is with great sadness that I advise the passing of JamesR (talk · contribs), a longtime Wikipedia colleague of mine.

    He was until September an administrator, when he voluntarily requested the tools be removed at this noticeboard (diff).

    James also operated two bots, HBC AIV helperbot5 (talk · contribs · count · logs · page moves · block log) and AdminStatsBot (talk · contribs · count · logs · page moves · block log). Both are still active. I will leave to those who know more about such things on the best course of action regarding this.

    My best wishes to James' family and friends at this difficult time.

    Regards
    Daniel (talk) 07:52, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Sad news. I've deactivated the bots as they have no operator now. Perhaps someone else will take over those tasks if needed. (More at WP:BOTN). — xaosflux Talk 09:46, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
