being a retired admin doesn't mean you have to actually leave the wiki, it simply means you don't contribute as much as you would in the past - there's no reason for any admin to permanently leave, just say that you are retiring from active duty.. then you are free from the immediate stresses but still around when needed.

It also aids greatly when you decide to return as it doesn't come off as a "leaving internet forever" speech.. few leave a wiki and stay off said wiki forever.. so just say you'll be away for a bit and that's fine, when you return you'll have the wiki around to aid with whatever you need done to catch up.
