Many previous admins have become inactive. Let's discuss a few points:

  1. Do we need more admins?
  2. If yes: What should we look for in a good admin? Who wants to? Who should do the job? Admins should be chosen in public, by the wiki user base.
  3. Proposed policy: If you're inactive for one solid year, you lose your admin rights. You can get them back again at any time you wish. (I doubt anybody will make use of that option, but it would feel somehow disrespectful not to provide it.)

Please feel free to comment - the more people, the better. No voting yet on admin candidates, because we should reach consensus on the rest first, but nominations are welcome. --Tjr 00:51, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

In practise, admins are responsible in a very broad sense, can undelete pages, and can block spammers. I haven't had to resolve any edit wars. For more info, see Nethackwiki:Administrators, and the technical side of things at Wikipedia's admin school and Special:ListGroupRights. --Tjr 01:09, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
