If a user is excessively inactive, they have no need to keep their tools because they aren't benefiting the community (and likely won't again). Inactive Admins and Bureaucrats also create a negative perception of the community's management, are extra opportunities for abuse (unmonitored accounts with higher access to the wiki), and directs community comments to dead ends (such as new users asking for help on unresponsive message walls/talk pages). These are reasons why wikis I edit have an inactive policy for Admins and Bureaucrats.

Those inactive over a year no longer need a community discussion, but it's generally a good idea to have one anyway. Basically that is brilliant.

But I digress, there really should be an inactivity policy. I've mentioned it on things like the staff page and such (never made the template though).

As DEmersonJMFM stated, it reflects poorly for the community, risks the wiki bring hacked in s bad way and leads new users astray of where is right to look for help.

I messaged the bureaucrat on SPR wiki but he hasn't responded, nor has Gunman6 (another inactive admin). The other wikis have no other admins to consult and the Titanic wiki only has one active regular user at the moment.

AnyGuy even flat out stated he probably wouldn't show up again.
