Admin accounts which have made noneither edits ornor administrative actions for at least 12 months may be desysopped.<ref>[[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/suspend sysop rights of inactive admins]], June 2011</ref> Subject to the [[#Lengthy inactivity]] consideration below, this desysopping is not to be considered permanent, or a reflection on the user's use of, or rights to, the admin tools. The admin must be contacted on their user talk page and via e-mail (if possible) one month before the request for desysopping and again several days before the desysopping goes into effect. Desysopping on inactivity grounds should be handled by English Wikipedia [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats|bureaucrats]]. The summary in the user rights log should make it clear that the desysopping is purely procedural.
 
If necessary, the user's userpage should be edited to clarify the status&nbsp;— particularly if any categorization is involved. For example, the userbox <tt>{{tl|User wikipedia/Administrator}}</tt> should be replaced with <tt>{{tlx|1=User wikipedia/Former administrator|2=inactive=yes}}</tt>.
