Expire inactive temp accounts after 7 days
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

From @Bugreporter:

Another idea is expire temporary account that is inactive for some shorter time (e.g. 7 days or 30 days). But we need some way to store how temporary account is recently used (maybe just store it in cache?)

Event Timeline

@Urbanecm_WMF and I discussed this one a bit today.

7 days is probably too short of a time frame, especially if we want to be able to provide constructive feedback to temporary accounts on smaller and medium-sized wikis, where edits may not be reviewed within 7 days.

I'd suggest declining this task for now, and we could revisit once we have a clearer pattern of good faith temporary account usage patterns on production wikis.
