Wikipedia:Arbitration/Active sanctions

This page lists the currently active sanctions imposed through the arbitration process. It transcludes portions of the main general sanctions and personal sanctions listings; all changes should be made to those pages instead of this one.

Types of sanctions
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 : Generally, editors on probation may be banned from pages they edit disruptively, either for a set period of time or indefinitely, by action of an uninvolved administrator. (Although the wording of probation remedies sometimes varies, so be sure to check the specific case.)  Probation is 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. They may be blocked if they exceed this limit or fail to discuss a content reversion.


 * Topic ban : The user is prohibited from editing any page related to a particular topic, and may be blocked if they do so.


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


 * Discretionary sanctions : Administrators may impose any sanctions which they believe are reasonably necessary to ensure the smooth functioning of the project.
