Wikipedia:Supervised editing proposal

In lieu of bans or blocking an editor altogether, the arbitration committee, or its authorised delegates, may enforce periods of supervision.

Background
This policy arose out of a desire to maintain both order and freedom of expression on Wikipedia.

Levels of supervision
There are five levels of supervision
 * 1) A nominated supervisor reviews all edits on a regular basis, and may require a higher level of supervision if the user's edits breach specified guidelines.
 * 2) The user must locate an authorised supervisor before making an edit on specified articles. The supervisor will then leave a note on the editors talk page stating the pages the user is authorised to edit and for what time period.
 * 3) The user must locate an authorised supervisor before making an edit on any page. The supervisor will then leave a note on the editors talk page stating what pages the user is authorised to edit and for what time period.
 * 4) The user may only suggest changes on edit talk pages but not article pages.
 * 5) The user may only edit their own personal pages but no other page.

Failure to comply
Failure to comply with the conditions of supervision results in an immediate increase in the level of supervision. If the user is already on level 3 supervision, an administrator may enforce a ban.

Appointment of supervisors
Only the arbitration committee, and its authorised delegates, may appoint a supervisor. A supervisor may be authorised to superives specific users for specific time periods, or may be authorise to supervise any user who is under a supervision order.
