Wikipedia:Update/1/Enforcement policy changes during February 2009


 * Arbitration policy
 * Policy on accepting cases changed to "The request must have four net votes to accept, or have an absolute majority of arbitrators voting to accept."


 * Banning policy
 * Linked "threats" to No legal threats; it's unclear whether this changes the meaning.


 * Blocking policy
 * Added to WP:BLOCK: "If a user claims they wish to contribute constructively but there are doubts as to their sincerity, the 2nd chance template can be used to allow them to demonstrate how they will contribute to the encyclopedia should their unblock request be granted."


 * Consensus
 * Changed WP:CON substantially
 * Added See also links to the Conflict and Consensus categories on MeatBall Wiki.


 * Open proxies
 * Added: [not a typical use of the "main" template]
 * Changed "currently blocked" to "often blocked" in the Blocking of Wikipedia in mainland China link


 * Protection policy
 * Added to "User talk pages are usually not semi-protected": "except in response to severe or continued vandalism"
 * Added after "protection should not be considered an endorsement of the current name": "An obvious exception to this rule is when pages are protected due to page move vandalism."
