{{rfcquote|text=

Of the 7 [[WP:RECALL]] petitions so far, at least three have some concerns at least adjacent to [[WP:INACTIVITY]] - [[Wikipedia:Administrator recall/Master Jay|Master Jay]], [[Wikipedia:Administrator recall/Gimmetrow|Gimmetrow]] and [[Wikipedia:Administrator recall/Night Gyr|Night Gyr]] (ongoing).

Currently admins are desysopped procedurally if they haven't made any edits/admin actions for 1 year OR have made less than 100 edits in 5 years. According to [[WP:RESTORATION]], adminship is generally restored at [[WP:BN]] unless there were 2 years without edits OR 5 years since last tool usage.

Line 10:

Clearly, many editors believe we need to update WP:INACTIVITY but there has been no RFCs attempted on how.

This is ana [[WP:RFCBEFORE]]preliminary RFC to ask two main questions -

* '''Q1:''' Do the thresholds for procedural desysoppings ( [[WP:INACTIVITY]] ) need changing? If yes, to what?

* '''Q2:''' On return from inactivity, when do they generally get the tools back? ( [[WP:RESTORATION]] )

I'm hoping this narrows solutions down sufficiently that a future yes/no proposal can gauge consensus later.
