Template:Not around/doc

This template may be used on the talk page of a Wikipedia user who has been a longer-term contributor but has not been active on Wikipedia in the past few months/years.

It is intended to be used on user pages, or on talk pages of editors who have announced their departure (as the goodbye message is there for everyone to see). Rather, it should be used to inform editors that the user in question has not been active for a long time, and that they may not reply to any messages or questions.

It is generally not advisable to add this template to the talk page of any Wikipedia user who has stopped editing for a short amount of time. before listing someone who has simply ceased editing.

This template populates Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery and Category:Wikipedians who opt out of template messages.
