| This is a list of ] who, for various reasons, are unfortunately no longer an integral part of our community. | |||
| ==Purpose of this list== | |||
| ==Non-free use disputed for Image:AlienDerelict1.gif== | |||
| The purpose of this list is to provide a reminder to us of those who have left and their reasons for doing so. | |||
| {| align="center" style="background-color: white; border:8px solid red; padding:5px; text-align: center; font-size: larger;" | |||
| Please do not add people to this list who were never an integral part of the community. Most of the people in the list made well over 1,000 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), and do not add yourself. | |||
| |] | |||
| |This file may be '''deleted'''. | |||
| :* People who leave a goodbye message on their talk page or elsewhere, and then actually refrain from editing for at least two weeks, are likely to have left permanently and may be added to the list. | |||
| :* Wait about a month before listing someone who has simply ceased editing, unless you have some other reason for being certain that they have left. | |||
| :* Wikipedians who are considering leaving and those who have very recently left a stress-related goodbye message can be listed at ]. | |||
| :* 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 can be removed from the list altogether or listed in the ]. | |||
| :* Missing Wikipedians should be added to this list by people who knew them well rather than by strangers. | |||
| :* 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. You are welcome to add your own name to the ], but be warned that the community will accordingly try to encourage you to stay. | |||
