ଉଇକିପିଡ଼ିଆ:Missing Wikipedians
This is a list of Wikipedians who are no longer an integral part of the community. See also Wikipedia:List of administrators/Inactive.
Wikipedians who no longer edit due to confirmed death should instead be added to Wikipedia:Deceased Wikipedians.
Purpose of this list
The purpose of this list is to provide a reminder to us of those who have left and their reasons for doing so.
Please do not add people to this list who were never an integral part of the community. Don't add users with fewer than ~1,0 edits. Do not add people unless you are certain they have left, do not add anonymous users identified by their IP address (they could have created an account and still be contributing, or they might have a roaming IP address) and do not add yourself. Leave a message on the person's talk page to let them know that you've added them to this list, if they ever should return they can remove themselves. Retired Wikipedians who do not wish to be listed here may also feel free to remove themselves.
- People who leave a goodbye message or a {{retired}}template on their user page or elsewhere, and then actually refrain from editing for at least 3 weeks are likely to have left permanently and may be added to the list.
- Wait at least 3 months before listing someone who has simply ceased editing, unless you have some other reason for being certain that they have left.
- In most cases, editors who have gradually adopted a pattern of occasional editing interspersed with long breaks should not be listed merely because they are on one of their long breaks.
- Editors who return are no longer "missing" and should be removed from the list.
- If you add your own user name to the list as one of your final edits, your addition might be reverted since it is theoretically impossible for a "missing" Wikipedian to make an edit.
This page was mentioned in an Economist article on March 6, 2008: "Many who are excited about contributing to the site end up on the “Missing Wikipedians” page: a constantly updated list of those who have decided to stop contributing. It serves as a reminder that frustration at having work removed prompts many people to abandon the project."
The entries with the mop icon 
beside their name are Wikipedia administrators, or have been at one time.
All dates featured on this page correspond with UTC times.
