Wikipedia:General sanctions


General sanctions are a type of that apply to all editors working in a particular topic area. These contrast with editing restrictions, also called "personal sanctions", which apply only to individual editors. General sanctions are a tool used by the community or the Arbitration Committee to improve the editing atmosphere of an article or topic area. When general sanctions are employed, they are specifically detailed instructions by which community consensus or ArbCom motion has empowered administrators to act single-handedly to sanction editors who are not complying with general behavioral or editorial guidelines and policies.

Article probation places certain articles under increased scrutiny by administrators. Editors who make disruptive edits to articles that have been placed on probation may be banned from further editing of such articles, as well as related articles and/or project pages. Anyone editing an article on probation should be especially mindful of content policies, such as neutral point-of-view, and interaction policies, such as WP:CIVIL, WP:NPA, WP:3RR, and WP:POINT. See Category:Articles on probation for a full list of articles that have been placed on probation.

Pages or topic areas may be subject to restrictions on the number of reverts an editor may perform during a specific period of time. For more information, see this page. The most common revert restriction is the one-revert rule.
