User:Reception123/DP RfC

''This is a draft for a future planned RfC. Please do not publish at this time''.

Not so long ago we had an RfC about changes to the Dormancy Policy mainly due to the technical changes that were made in the way we handled the policy. Since then, I have received many requests to restore wikis after they were deleted due to the 6 month period having passed. Even though we do notify wiki bureaucrats when wikis are closed and even though we do give users the opportunity to request exemptions based on different factors it seems like many wikis are still being deleted even though they still serve a purpose. Therefore, in light of this the main proposal in this RfC will be to extend the several stages of the Dormancy Policy in order to get to one year before a wiki is actually permanently deleted. As usual, other proposals may be added to this RfC. Please make sure to read this section of the policy and specifically the table to avoid any confusion in the terms. [DATE TBC].

Proposal 1

 * The current time periods for inactivity, closure and deletion remain the same as they are currently (status quo).

Proposal 2
NOTE: This proposal is made in order to make deletion occur 1 year after a wiki is deemed inactive, so therefore they must either all be supported or all opposed. Changes should be made in the form of another separate proposal.

The minimum time since notice would then be 30 days and the minimum total time would be changed to 75 days.
 * The closure stage changes and instead of a wiki being closed 15 days after it is deemed inactive it is closed 30 days after it is deemed inactive.

The minimum time since the closure would be 21 days and the minimum total time would be changed to 81 days inactivity
 * The adoption stage changes and instead of a user being able to adopt a closed wiki after 14 days (two weeks) they will be able to adopt it after 21 days (3 weeks)


 * Wikis become eligible for deletion (get marked as "deleted") 274 days (roughly 9 months) after a wiki is deemed inactive (and 229 days after the closure - minimum total time)


 * Wikis become eligible for permanent deletion 16 days after they have been "marked as deleted".

Below is the proposed table for clarity:
