Wikidata:Editing restrictions

Sometimes special restrictions for particular editors are approved by the community to prevent further disruption to Wikidata. This page lists those restrictions.

Topic restrictions

Brya, Pigsonthewing, Succu: personal commentary

Discussion: Special:PermaLink/776905758#Personal commentary ban

• Brya, Pigsonthewing, and Succu are not to make any comments about each other, including but not limited to their (perceived) competence, skills, goals, or motivations. They may link to diffs and express concerns about the diffs in appropriate venues so long as they do not include personal commentary on the editor making those edits.
• Violations of this should result in blocks. Blocks made under this restriction should be logged at a new page, Wikidata:Editing restrictions.
• Subsequent violations should result in blocks of increasing length. After the fifth violation by an individual editor, the blocking admin must start a discussion at WD:AN to see if further sanctions are necessary.
• Appeals of this restriction must be made at WD:AN.
• All three editors are warned that further misbehavior on Wikidata, especially in (but not limited to) the taxonomy topic area, may lead to further sanctions, including an indefinite block from Wikidata.

Log of sanctions (Personal commentary)

• Brya blocked 24 hours for violating restriction here and here. --Rschen7754 04:52, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
