User:InactivityEmailBot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a bot to implement email notification of Inactive administrators per the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/Inactive admin email.

It will email the contents of: Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Inactive_admin_email to 300 or so inactive accounts with administrator access, asking them to release their sysop bit voluntarily by posting to Wikipedia:Resign or meta:SRP#Removal_of_access, or at least to change their password.

The reasons for this project are:

  • To implement the security best practice of removing of elevated privileges that are no longer required
  • To help gather statistics to improve the quality of any future community discussions regarding possible involuntary inactivity removal of privileges
  • To encourage inactive admins to return to activity
