How to proceed
I was told to "go to AE" regarding concerns presented here. I'm not sure how to present this as it doesn't seem possible to file a request for enforcement unless it be against a specific editor. I'm seeking guidance here on how to proceed with this. IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 15:19, 11 April 2024 (UTC)


 * This is an issue I ran into in the wake of the Suicide of Eden Knight; I had to mangle the template and noted the request was nonstandard for the same reason. There seriously needs to be templates for requesting page-level or otherwise non-editor sanctions. —Jéské Couriano v^&lowbar;^v  Source assessment notes 15:45, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Bot archived discussion which was not closed/done
Hey, could someone take a look at that? FortunateSons (talk) 21:40, 5 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Do you mean Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement/Archive332? It looks like the last comment in that discussion was on 28 May so the discussion is probably done and it just hasn't been closed. Adam Black  talk &bull;  contribs 21:53, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I do, thank you for linking to it. My reading of that is that there is not sufficient consensus for a close in either direction, and was left open for further participation which has not (yet) occurred. FortunateSons (talk) 21:58, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Ah, I haven't really read through it. I just scanned the dates. If no one has added anything in over a week, to a discussion started almost a month ago on 10 May, I think it's unlikely there's going to be further input. Adam Black  talk &bull;  contribs 22:03, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
 * It needs administrative closure. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 22:05, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I realise that. I was meaning I think that the discussion probably is "done", not that it didn't still need closing. Adam Black  talk &bull;  contribs 22:07, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

indefinite formal topic-ban from the Israel-Palestine conflict topic area
I am indefinitely topic-banned from the Israel-Palestine conflict area. Does this mean I'm not allowed to participate in discussions on article talk pages related to this topic? ☆SuperNinja2☆  TALK!  20:50, 9 June 2024 (UTC)


 * To the best of my knowledge, it includes everything everywhere on en.wiki. FortunateSons (talk) 20:53, 9 June 2024 (UTC)


 * That is correct; however, it was implemented on 8 January and is appealable (at WP:AN) after 6 months, so you would be able to do that on 8 July. Black Kite (talk) 20:55, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

Logging AE sanctions at Editing restrictions
A few years ago Lugnuts repeatedly violated a topic ban, but no one noticed because he was such a prolific editor and because the editors he violated them in disputes with weren't aware of the sanctions. I've considered how to address this a few times over the years, and I've settled on creating a tool that lists such sanctions similar to how page bans are listed when "Strike out usernames that have been blocked" is shown.

However, including AE sanctions doesn't seem viable given the structure of Arbitration enforcement log, as there would be too many false negatives and false positives. I was hoping admins might be willing to start logging relevant sanctions at Editing restrictions as well as the log? I would be willing to go through the logs and transfer any relevant and still active past sanctions over.

If it would help/bribe, I would also be willing to create a tool that assists in closing AE discussions? It would log all actions at Arbitration enforcement log, and for relevant sanctions log them at Editing restrictions. If it would be helpful, and not overlap with other existing tools such as Twinkle, it could also support making and logging discretionary enforcement actions?

 * My understanding is that we keep the AE log separately (but include a link to it) because the editing restrictions page would be too long otherwise. — Red-tailed hawk  (nest) 02:47, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
