In some situations, a sysop will warn a user that their behaviour is disruptive, and tell them to stop. But of course, the warning may or may not represent the will of the wiki site, as there may be a higher authority, such as the site owner, [[bureaucrat]]s, other sysops, or sometimes the community that can overrule the sysop. Under such circumstances, asking for the opinion of the site owner, or of the community, on the individual sysop's behaviour could itself be considered a form of [[troll]]ing or other disruption, depending on the wiki norms. On those types of [[WhatIsWiki|wikis]], then, it becomes important to either err on the side of caution, or be very good at predicting what sysop actions will be upheld by higher authorities. | In some situations, a sysop will warn a user that their behaviour is disruptive, and tell them to stop.
