WikiQueer:General sanctions


 * This page lists general sanctions that apply to all editors working in particular areas. Individual editors subject to editing restrictions are listed at WikiQueer:Editing restrictions.

The Arbitration Committee may impose general sanctions on all editors working in a particular area, usually following a request for arbitration. Administrators employing these sanctions are reminded of the need to issue appropriate notifications and to log all sanctions as specified in each case. Such general sanctions may be revoked by the Committee by passing a "motion in a prior case".

Usually at an administrators' noticeboard, the community may also impose general sanctions on all editors working in a particular area. Administrators employing these sanctions are reminded of the need to issue appropriate notifications and to log all sanctions as specified in each case. Such general sanctions may be revoked at the same venue by the community when the community believes that they are no longer necessary.

Types of sanctions

 * Article probation : Editors making disruptive edits may be banned by an administrator from articles on probation and related articles or project pages. Editors of such articles should be especially mindful of content policies, such as WQ:NPOV, and interaction policies, such as WQ:CIVIL, WQ:NPA, WQ:3RR, and WQ:POINT.  See Category:Articles on probation.


 * Community article probation: Editors making disruptive edits may be subject to various administrative sanctions, depending on the terms of probation. Similar to above, but imposed by the community rather than ArbCom.


 * General restriction : Administrators may impose one or more specific restrictions (as listed in each individual case) on editors.


 * Revert restrictions: Editors editing on the topic/page are limited to a certain number of reverts (usually 1) per page/topic per period of time (usually: 24 hours or 1 week) – exceptions or additional requirements may apply. See also WQ:1RR or WQ:0RR.
