Wikipedia:Former administrators/reason/vanished

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vanished: These former administrators exercised their right to vanish and relinquished their administrator tools. It is understood that once an editor has requested their right to vanish that they are not returning to Wikipedia (under normal circumstances). If the editor returned to editing, their current name is listed along with their contributions and administrative logs from the past. However, if the administrator has decided to stay vanished, their old username is not listed and their contributions and logs are not linked.

Long-term inactive

[edit]

These former administrators are, by definition, considered long-term inactive (they have gone without an edit or logged action for two consecutive years since their desysop). See also: Administrators who vanished and were desysopped for inactivity (in either order) and are long-term inactive; Administrators who vanished and resigned but not at the same time (in either order) and are long-term inactive.
