    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.

    Wikipedia:Administrator recall/Fastily has been closed as successful

    [edit]

    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]
    I'm still of the opinion that we shouldn't be pre-emptively closing these, and that there's not consensus to do so, unless the person the recall discussion is about has requested it. It can be valuable to see whether there are going to be a significant number of signers when deciding whether to give up the tools or run again.

    I agree with you, and this is being discussed at Wikipedia:Administrator recall/Reworkshop#Closing a petition although there is opposition to asking the question at the RFC with @The leaky cauldron asserting that there does not need to be a formal consensus to endorse the BOLD change to the policy that stated discussions should be closed immediately upon reaching 25 signatures. Thryduulf (talk) 16:01, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Thryduulf and Hey man im josh: I'm 'theleekycauldron', with three 'e's and no spaces, and I didn't oppose that question. I explicitly supported rephrasing the question to emphasize the "delay after threshold reached" option. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 19:11, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Change to admin policy

    [edit]

    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 (talk • contribs) 18:53, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Desysop request (Fastily)
