WARNING: ACTIVE COMMUNITY SANCTIONS

The article Template:Gs/talk notice, along with other pages relating to blockchain and cryptocurrencies, is designated by the community as a contentious topic. The current restrictions are:

Limit of one revert in 24 hours: This article is under WP:1RR (one revert per editor per article per 24-hour period)

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be sanctioned.

Remedy instructions and exemptions

Enforcement procedures:

Violations of any restrictions (excluding 1RR/reverting violations) and other conduct issues should be reported to the administrators' incidents noticeboard. Violations of revert restrictions should be reported to the administrators' edit warring noticeboard.
Editors who violate any listed restrictions may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.
An editor must be aware before they can be sanctioned.

With respect to any reverting restrictions:

Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions. In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as clear vandalism.
Clear vandalism of any origin may be reverted without restriction.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.

If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. Remember: When in doubt, don't revert!

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template uses Lua:

Module:Sanctions (sandbox)

This template should not be substituted.

This template should be placed on talk pages to notify editors that the article is within the scope of active community-authorised general sanctions.

This template should be placed at the top of a talk page, below the header (if used) but above all other templates. This template will place an article into Category:Wikipedia articles under general sanctions.

Usage

Required: |1= (or |topic=): A topic code from the list below
Optional: |2= (or |type=): Type of talk notice to be displayed. Default "standard" if not specified. Must be one of "long", "standard" or "mini". "long" will show a "Remedies and exemptions" collapsed box, mini will state no more than two sentences. Generally, do not use "long" unless the topic authorises page-specific sanctions, or an admin has authorised page-specific sanctions. See examples above.

Additional sanctions

If the topic area includes additional sanctions (eg 1RR) on all articles this talk notice will include information about those restrictions automatically. No additional information needs to be added.

However, if page-level sanctions are added by an administrator under community-authorised discretionary sanctions, that should be stated using the following parameters:

Common sanctions
- |1rr= - 1RR is applicable for this article
- |consensusrequired= - Consensus is required to restore edits
- |brd= - A 24-hour BRD is compulsory
Custom restrictions
- |restriction1= - Description of the restriction (will be displayed as a bullet). Example: |restriction1=Example custom restriction (very creative)

For custom restrictions, 1 may be replaced with any other number to add multiple page-level restrictions. These parameters must be consecutive (eg, restriction1, restriction2, restriction3, etc.) -- a digit cannot be omitted (restriction1, restriction3, restriction4 will not work). Custom restrictions should be properly logged on the page for the sanctions. If page-level discretionary sanctions are authorised, an edit notice should be applied to the article as well.
