== ZppixBot renaming to MirahezeBots ==
{{ping|RhinosF1}}, when you get a chance, can you also update this page link to [[User:MirahezeBots|MirahezeBots]] instead of ZppixBot now that {{ping|Void}} has [[meta:Special:GlobalRenameQueue/request/200|completed the global rename]]? Also, do global renamings not happen instantly? I saw Void rename ZppixBot on Meta and other wikis yesterday, but this renaming is occurring only today?<br />
Cheers,

== [[User:Naleksuh BOT]] ==
Possible request for inactivity exemptions - does it apply to bot's? [[User:Naleksuh|Naleksuh]] ([[User talk:Naleksuh|talk]]) 21:09, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
:It's only given where there is a need or strong grounds. [[User:RhinosF1|RhinosF1]] ([[User talk:RhinosF1|talk]]) 11:39, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
== Inactivity exemptions for consuls ==
Is it a good idea to grant inactivity exemptions solely due to being a consul and nothing else? I don't see why simply being a consul should result in an exemption. In addition, the inactivity policy describes itself as being "for mostly security reasons", which arguably makes it ''more'' important to remove inactive consuls than inactive sysops/bureaucrats.

:Good thinking, and I '''support'''. However, perhaps this should be discussed on a more high traffic page, such as [[TestWiki:Community portal|the community portal]]. [[User:Justarandomamerican|Justarandomliberal]] ([[User talk:Justarandomamerican|talk]]) 01:09, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
:While I can understand the logic behind [[User:Naleksuh|Naleksuh]]'s thinking here, I would just like to point out that removing the inactivity exceptions for [[TestWiki:Consuls|Consuls]] would ''not'' apply to the <code>[[TestWiki:Consuls|consul]]</code> user group as there is no inactivity clause in the given current [[TestWiki:Consuls|official policy]] for that user group. As such, it would apply ''only'' to the <code>[[TestWiki:Bureaucrats|bureaucrat]]</code> and <code>[[TestWiki:Administrators|sysop]]</code> bits that the Consuls could hold. While this is certainly ''possible'' to do, it seems a tad bureaucratic to require a less active [[TestWiki:Consuls|Consul]] to have to procedurally re-add their own <code>bureaucrat</code> and <code>sysop</code> bits. Additionally, I would also point out that other than several non-[[TestWiki:Consuls|Consul]] users, there are several inactivity exemptions for users holding no local user groups. Finally, while it's possible some Consuls are less active on TestWiki, they are not necessarily inactive pan Miraheze since many, or most rather, barring one exception, hold various global permissions, and are indeed quite active across Miraheze. So, there is never really any doubt as to ''where'' they are, if not on TestWiki specifically. As a procedural footnote, [[User:Justarandomamerican|Justarandomliberal]] makes a good point that [[TestWiki:Community portal]] is indeed a better venue; however, in this case, since we're all engaging in a discussion on this talk page, I'm okay with it continuing here.

== edit request ==
Can a consul please edit the reasoning for my exemption so that it says that I am a sysadmin and not a former one? Thanks. [[User:MacFan4000|MacFan4000]] <sup>([[User talk:MacFan4000|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/MacFan4000|Contribs]])</sup> 02:11, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
