Forum:Could I remove bureaucrat rights if...

I'm am currently the only active bureocrat on the Harvest Moon wiki, and I noticed that there are 6 other bureaucrats that haven't edited a page in over a year. I know that wiki can remove bureaucrat rights, but is there any requirements that they need to be removed as bureaucrats? Mai Is Me (talk) 02:50, July 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * To remove bureaucrat rights, please start a blog/forum and discuss the decision with the other editors on that wiki. If everyone seems to agree with the decision, then you can send a request through Special:Contact to have Staff remove the rights. Make sure you link to the community discussion when you use Special:Contact, because Staff need to see everyone agrees.


 * I made a blog, but no one seemed to really care... If they have no objections does it still count? Mai Is Me (talk) 03:04, July 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure. You can still send in the request to Special:Contact, linking the blog post. However, if nobody else has commented on it, I'm not sure if Staff will agree to the remove the rights or not. Generally, user rights are not removed except in extreme cases (inactivity doesn't count) -- so you typically need strong community concensus to remove bureaucrat rights. My guess is that staff will say no. But it doesn't hurt to ask.

Kay, I'll try ^_^ Thanks Mathmagician.


 * You should also leave a message on the Talk Page or Message Wall of those users, ask them if they're planning on being active again. This is what I have done in the past.   Maybe they'll come back, but if they're not editing, and do not respond when contacted, then there is no reason for them to remain bureaucrats.  --452  02:10, July 21, 2012 (UTC)
