Contentious topics

 * Last modified 14 December 2022

All discussions about infoboxes and to edits adding, deleting, collapsing, or removing verifiable information from infoboxes, are designated as a contentious topic.

Standard set of restrictions
Any uninvolved administrator may impose the standard set of restrictions in this topic area for up to one year:


 * Infobox probation, indefinitely restricting a user from:
 * adding, deleting or collapsing infoboxes;
 * restoring an infobox that has been deleted; or
 * making more than one comment in a discussion, where that discussion is primarily about the inclusion or exclusion of an infobox on a given article.
 * For clarity, an editor under probation is permitted to edit an already existing infobox, but should be cautious of giving the appearance that they are attempting to game their probation as this may lead to more contentious topic sanctions.
 * The editor may, if they wish, add an infobox in the same edit or series of edits when they:
 * create a new article; or
 * convert an article from a redirect.
