When a user who has been granted management rights (rollback to administrator, or even bureaucrats) needs to go inactive for some time, (examples include road trips, broken computers, illnesses) they change their status on the Administration page to "Temporarily inactive". I would describe needing to go on leave as being fully away from the wiki for n weeks.

This grants them immunity from activity requirements as admins/chat mods/etc. and will NOT be demoted for inactivity.

When x months pass and the site does not hear from the inactive, their status will be changed to "Inactive" on the administration page and they have y months to return or make contributions. If they do not return, the admins will discuss among themselves and either demote the inactive or give them more time, depending on their past contributions.

Users may also request others to place them on leave when they are either unable to or are inactive due to unforeseen circumstances (examples include computers breaking down, possible internet loss, etc.)

If someone goes inactive for z months without changing their status to "Temporarily inactive", they will not be considered on leave and will have their status changed to "Inactive" and will have y months to return.

n = suggested 2 weeks

x = suggested 6 months

y = suggested 3 months

z = suggested 3 months
