Wikipedia:Editing restrictions
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This page lists individual editors subject to editing restrictions. General sanctions that apply to all editors working in particular areas are listed at Wikipedia:General sanctions.
The Arbitration Committee may impose restrictions on users engaged in inappropriate behavior, usually following a request for arbitration. Such restrictions may be revoked by the Committee by passing a "motion in a prior case".
The community may also impose a number of different editing restrictions on users engaged in inappropriate behavior, usually at an administrator's noticeboard. Such restrictions may be revoked at the same venue by the community when the community believes that they are no longer necessary.

[edit] Types of restrictions
The following is a list of the most common types of restrictions. More unique restrictions which have been imposed in unusual circumstances are not listed.
- Account restriction
- The user is limited to editing with a single account.
- Civility restriction
- The user may be blocked if they make any edits which are judged by an administrator to be uncivil, personal attacks, or assumptions of bad faith.
- Probation (Supervised editing)
- Generally, editors on probation may be banned from pages they edit disruptively, either for a set period of time or indefinitely, by an uninvolved administrator. (However, the wording of probation remedies sometimes varies, so be sure to check the specific case.) Probation is usually used as an alternative to an outright topic ban in cases where the editor shows some promise of learning better behavior.
- Revert limitation
- The user is limited to one revert per page per week (excepting obvious vandalism), and is required to discuss any content reversions on the page's talk page. Users who exceed this limit or fail to discuss a content reversion may be blocked.
- Topic ban
- Depending on the terms of such a ban, the user is prohibited from editing either (1) particular pages that are specified in the ban; and/or, (2) any page relating to a particular topic. Such a ban may include or exclude corresponding talk pages. Users who violate such bans may be blocked.
[edit] Enforcement
Editors who violate Arbitration-imposed restrictions may be blocked or otherwise sanctioned as described in the relevant Arbitration case. It is always best for enforcement actions to be taken by uninvolved administrators. Generally, blocks for violating civility restriction, revert limitation, or topic bans start at 24 hours per violation, but may escalate after multiple violations. All blocks and topic bans should be logged at the relevant Arbitration case page. Administrators who plan on enforcing Arbitration restrictions should check the case page for any case-specific enforcement language. For more information see Arbitration enforcement.
