Policy amendments

Hi there Sims Wikians!

This blog is aimed at notifying users of recent policy amendments to avoid any confusion of their knowledge in a situation which requires them to be considered.

Inactive Administrators Policy[edit source]

The Inactive Administrators Policy (IAP) has been amended to account for long-term absences. The changes state that if an admin knows they are going to be inactive for 3 months or longer, they should step down and they can regain their rights at any given time. Those who are absent for longer than 3 months who haven't stepped down will lose their flags as if they went inactive without any notice and will have 6 months to regain their flags.

Fanon Cleanup[edit source]

An amendment to the the creation policies states that {{Fanon-cleanup}} may now be applied by any user as opposed to just administrators. Any user, including the author of a tagged fanon article, may remove the template when they feel it is of satisfactory standard.

Nominating and voting on RfAs[edit source]

Requests for administratorship now allows for one user to nominate another (self nominations are still allowed) as well as voting. The voting period initially lasts for one week but a nomination can be closed early if consensus is obvious in one way or another. As well as that, multiple nominations at once are still allowed in contrast to RfB.
