This page has archives. Sections older than 7 days may be automatically archived by Lowercase sigmabot III.

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.

Can I have my admin and interface admin rights back? Thanks. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 22:45, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

After 24 hours for admin. Unless you need IA right away it probably makes more sense to do them both at the same time. Primefac (talk) 22:52, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't. And per policy The interface administrator right may be granted only to existing administrators so it's not allowed anyway. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 22:56, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I knew there was another reason not to grant early... Primefac (talk) 11:05, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Desysop was request was August 2024, last admin action was the day before. Thryduulf (talk) 23:18, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. Primefac (talk) 14:17, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome back to tool use, Pppery. We appreciate you're stepping up at this time. BusterD (talk) 14:22, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yay! Welcome back! – robertsky (talk) 14:31, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Whoot! I needed that this week... HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 04:48, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

* Pppery *, I just saw the big A by your username on a comment you made and realized you're an admin again. Welcome back! You've been missed. Liz 05:27, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is to note that the recall petition Wikipedia:Administrator recall/Fastily had received 25 signatures so was closed by an editor as successful. Per WP:RECALL, The bureaucrats are responsible for ensuring that an RRfA is started within a reasonable time frame. If this does not happen, they may remove the administrator privileges at their discretion.

So a crat should probably be in touch with Fastily for next steps and/or when they start an RRFA after this. Soni (talk) 06:51, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No need. I'm aware of what my options are thanks. -Fastily 07:39, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just noting here (i.e. cross-posting) that I am not overly thrilled with the phrase "closed as successful" and have started a discussion about the matter on recall's talk page. Primefac (talk) 13:12, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note to bureaucrats that this RfC was closed with a consensus for Option 2, so the Administrator policy has been changed/clarified. The relevant passage from WP:Administrators is below with removals struck through and additions underlined.

• Over five years since administrative tools were last used. In the case of removal due to inactivity, for any administrator who does not have a logged administrator action in five years, bureaucrats should not restore administrator access upon request. This applies to all former administrators

If there are any clarifications needed let me know. —Ganesha811 (talk) 15:14, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ganesha811, you should also update Wikipedia:Bureaucrats#Restoration_of_permissions. -- WOSlinker (talk) 18:08, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. —Ganesha811 (talk) 18:27, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for making the change and informing us. Lee Vilenski 18:53, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
