Thank you for your input, Annabeth and Percy. I was not aware of this specific policy, and appreciate you bringing it to my attention. With regards to why I have been inactive, it has been a tremendously busy year and I have not been able to edit as much as I would have liked. However, I have always been online and able to answer any requests from users, and I have always checked in from time to time to ensure that there was no vandalism that required rollbacking. More often than not, the other wonderful admins had that covered, thus I did not need to intervene. I also had my good friend, Echo Spy, keeping tabs on the wiki whenever I was particularly busy with university or personal matters, and alerting me to any situations which required my attention. It is for this reason that I was quite shocked to drop by and find that my bureaucrat rights had been removed, and that MechQuest had made no attempt to contact me about this, first. It may not be policy, but it does seem like a decent thing to do, especially as they do have my Twitter handle (can prove) and am aware of the fact that I am active and readily reachable.

Currently, I have far more free time (especially amid the COVID-19 pandemic), and look forward to getting involved with The X-Files Wiki again. I simply do not believe it was fair that my rights were removed, with all the aforementioned factors considered. I do hope that Fandom Staff will share their input and provide a recommendation that everyone is satisfied with, including both myself and MechQueste. I am certainly not suggesting that MechQueste should be demoted and the adoption reversed, as I would have likely promoted them myself had they asked for it — I am only hoping for a way in which my rights can be restored and we can restore a civil and effective working relationship. I have already reached out to MechQueste on the wiki, regarding setting up an opportunity to chat and sort out any differences.

All the best, Audrey
