Good morning everyone,
Limited feedback on the SH for this, so assuming there are no queries. So, this is proposing that the fourth point on the User page and profile policy's rules section be replaced with the following:
- Users who do not make at least one non-userspace, non–talk page edit that is not reverted by another user within a twelve-month span shall be considered inactive. Any users who have not made any non-userspace, non–talk page edits shall be deemed inactive twelve months after their first edit. User pages of inactive users may be replaced by the {{Inactive}} template, and all subpages of inactive users should be redirected to their main user page. These tasks may be performed by any user. Users returning from inactivity are welcome to revert these edits and return their user page and subpages to active status, provided they make at least one non-userspace, non–talk page edit that is not reverted by another user.
For full rationale, please see the above SH. Essentially, this formally defines "editing contributions" to allow more than just mainspace edits, while also not allowing only userpage edits. This also specifies for the situation where, for example, a user's only edits are user or talk edits, enabling such users to also be marked as inactive. Redirecting an inactive user's subpages can now be completed by any user. Finally, I've specified a small quota for users returning from inactivity. Tommy-Macaroni (he/they) 10:18, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

- Just out of curiosity, is there any policy on discussion users and their activity? I can recall seeing people with only an edit or two, usually to their user page, but having hundreds of posts on the forum. They might not edit, but they are certainly active or are user pages only for editors? Omicron(Leave a message at the BEEP!) 15:43, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
