Talk:Requests for Comment/Changes to the Dormancy Policy (3)

Wait until the previous Request for Comment is closed
I believe it would be agreeable if we waited for the previous Request for Comment to be closed before pursuing a new one since this one does depend on what changes get eventually adopted in the previous RfC. I would consequently put this draft on hold until the result of the previous RfC is known. DeeM28 (talk) 18:36, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Notification for deleted, not just closed
@Dmehus

My questions regarding notifications sent to bureaucrats were not asking about when wikis are marked as closed, they were about when wikis are marked as deleted, which I stated before in this section. Looking at Special:WikiDiscover under the "State" option shows that these are distinct states.

If I understand this code correctly, deletion notifications are only sent to "Server Administrators". However, I think that this would be a useful notification for bureaucrats, and would like it to be considered. And if it is decided to be done, then it should also be noted in Dormancy Policy so that people know that bureaucrats would get that notification.

Finally, I don't see anywhere, whether it be the Dormancy Policy or the code, that any notification is sent for wikis being marked as inactive, so that claim appears to be unsupported. K599 (talk) 22:59, 4 March 2022 (UTC)


 * To the best of my knowledge, notifications are only sent when wiki is closed. An email is sent to sre@undefinedmiraheze.org informing us at SRE what wikis were deleted via the wiki deletion maintenance script and by which SRE member. Indeed, perhaps an email sent when a wiki is marked inactive would be nice. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 00:33, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
