Page Restrictions
To enact or renew a page restriction follow these steps:


 * 1) Check that the page, or a section of the page, falls within a specific contentious topic.
 * 2) Decide on the appropriate page restriction.
 * If you are doing this as an individual administrator you may use the following standard set of restrictions:
 * page protection,
 * revert restrictions,
 * the “consensus required” restriction,
 * the “enforced BRD” restriction, and
 * any other restrictions designated by the Arbitration Committee as part of the standard set of page restrictions for a particular contentious topic.
 * If you are implementing the rough consensus of administrators at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard it may be any of the standard set above or any other reasonable measures that are necessary and proportionate for the smooth running of the project as long as the discussion has been open at least 24 hours.
 * 1) Place the restriction
 * If you are placing a page restriction through a logged action (i.e. page protection) it is best practice to note in the log that you are placing the page restriction as a special enforcement action for a contentious topic
 * For other restrictions, place an editnotice on the page using the Contentious topics/editnotice} template
 * 1) Consider editing (or if it is not present adding) the Contentious topics/talk notice to note the restriction. Do this with the |restriction= parameter
 * 2) Go to WP:CTLOG.
 * 3) Find the section for the contentious topic that applies to this page. If there is not a section for the contentious topic, add one in alphabetical order.
 * 4) Add the restriction you placed. If you are implementing the rough consensus of administrators from an AE discussion, say so and provide a permanent link to the discussion

Individual restrictions
To enact an individual restriction follow these steps:
 * 1) Check that the editor has knowledge of the specific contentious topic. An easy way to do this is to check their user talk page history for edits tagged as "contentious topic alert"s. You can use the "Filter revisions" box at the top to quickly search the entire history.
 * 2) Decide on the appropriate individual restriction.
 * If you are doing this as an individual administrator you may use the following standard set of restrictions:
 * sitewide and partial blocks,
 * topic bans and page bans (from the entire contentious topic, a subtopic, or specified pages within the topic),
 * interaction bans,
 * revert restrictions, and
 * any other restrictions designated by the Arbitration Committee as part of the standard set of individual restrictions for a particular contentious topic.
 * If you are implementing the rough consensus of administrators at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard it may be any of the standard set above or any other reasonable measures that are necessary and proportionate for the smooth running of the project as long as the discussion has been open at least 24 hours.
 * 1) Notify the editor of their restriction using the AE sanction template
 * If the restriction involves an administrative action (i.e. you are blocking them) it is best practice to note that you are performing the action as a special enforcement action for a contentious topic
 * 1) Go to WP:CTLOG.
 * 2) Find the section for the contentious topic that applies to this page. If there is not a section for the contentious topic, add one in alphabetical order.
 * 3) Add the restriction you placed. If you are implementing the rough consensus of administrators from an AE discussion, say so and provide a permanent link to the discussion.
