There are calls that old admins should be removed while new ones should be elected. Please also check out this thread and give your stance for the new administrator nomination system as this proposal includes two more methods (public nomination and bureaucrat nomination w/o requiring prerequisite support from users).

But first of all, in order to remove new ones "legally", some policies have to be amended.

Just months ago, there is a majority support in extending the inactivity policy rule in here but since then calls for laying off old and inactive admins which is still considered "active" in inactivity policy.

In Wikia, you can adopt a wiki when the bureaucrat is away for more than 60 days. Therefore, I think 3 months is actually a long period considering 60 days may seem to be "inactive" already for Wikia.

Here's my proposed amendments:

Referring to this thread, the minimum requirement in order to become an admin is "having two edits (an edit is defined as a bullet point seen in the user activity feed) within 48 hours in the past 15 days.". Should this be implemented, the admin would be taken their rights immediately after not having more than 2 edits or 2 admin actions within 30 days in order to be fair (although it is still quite unfair in terms of edit count).

A warning should be given if the user is going to be de-admined the next day due to this policy.

No matter what reason, the user will have the rights taken away if the policy is breached unless:
 * The user states its return within 15 days.

If the user is demoted due to the inactivity policy, the user can get back the admin rights...
 * ...immediately if the user has states his/her return date in the form of a blog post after the user has returned within 15 days of the given return date.
 * ...immediately if the user is in the hospital or other similar medical leaves for more than 30 days after the user has returned.
 * ...by a bureaucrat. The bureaucrat can choose to promote the user directly within 30 days since the user had returned without undergoing the admin election process.
 * ...by asking a bureaucrat to do so. At least two bureaucrats must approve the promotion of the user again within 30 days since the user had returned.

Otherwise, the user has to undergone the admin election process again.

Footnote:
 * Edits are counted by counting the bullet points in the activity feed of the user, except replies to the inactivity warning.
 * Admin actions are counted by counting the bullet points in the activity log feed of the user, except the actions which can be done by a normal user alone.
