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

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



  • Wikipedia:Blocking policy
    • Added to WP:BLOCK#Block reviews: "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."




  • Wikipedia: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."
