English: We define drop-off as a user-driven voluntary choice to become inactive, thus excluding blocks or bans where a user loses their ability to contribute following a community decision. Being blocked or even banned for a long period of time from a Wikimedia project implies the impossibility of participating, but it is not a drop-off. Instead, deciding not to return to editing after block or ban, or even forcing a ban into what is known as “retirement by admin,” are different ways in which an editor can decide to withdraw from Wikipedia.
The three states of editor drop-off in their most common forms are “wikibreaks,” “semi-retiring,” and “retiring.”
to share – to copy, distribute and transmit the work
to remix – to adapt the work
Under the following conditions:
attribution – You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use.
share alike – If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you must distribute your contributions under the same or compatible license as the original.
