===Regarding editors=== | |||
When naming policies it helps to specify what type of "enforcement" is appropriate for the "violation". Here are some suggested enforcement categories: | When naming policies it helps to specify what type of "enforcement" is appropriate for the "violation". Here are some suggested enforcement categories: | ||
*'''Etiquette:''' Guide to help polite people to be polite. Does not imply any enforcement. | |||
* '''Tag:''' Placing "warning tags" on info that is dubious, impolite, etc. What categories of info warrents this? | |||
* '''Eventual deletion:''' What categories of info should be deleted eventually, if the warning tags are ignored? | |||
* '''Speedy deletion''' | |||
* '''Oversite:''' A term that means the information will be completely vaporized! Well almost. | |||
* '''Block editor:''' See [[WikiIndex_talk:Blocking_Policy]]. | |||
===Regarding administrators=== | |||
(Administrators are sysops, bureaucrats, etc.) | |||
I suggest we discuss block policy [[WikiIndex_talk:Blocking_Policy|there]], and that it is good that we '''clearly separate the [[Editing etiquette|etiquette policy]] from the [[WikiIndex_talk:Blocking_Policy|enforcement policy]]''', because "enforcing politeness" isn't always polite nor is is always practical at archiving its ends. | I suggest we discuss block policy [[WikiIndex_talk:Blocking_Policy|there]], and that it is good that we '''clearly separate the [[Editing etiquette|etiquette policy]] from the [[WikiIndex_talk:Blocking_Policy|enforcement policy]]''', because "enforcing politeness" isn't always polite nor is is always practical at archiving its ends. | ||
====Suggested requests==== | |||
What you may request of other administrators if you have evidence that an administrator is in violation of these policies: | |||
* '''Undoing the block or protection''' | |||
* '''Dispute resolution''' (Ask another sysop) | |||
* '''Demotion of the administrator''' (temporarily or permanently) | |||
====Bring this evidence==== | |||
Don't waste their time, bring your evidence and be concise. For example, if you believe a sysop has blocked a user or protected a page without good reason. Do the following: | |||
*Copy their stated reason for the blocks, protection, or deletion. (This should be in the [http://wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=&page= block log]. If they did not leave a reason, state that they left no reason.) | |||
*A link to the diff showing the "offenses" which were their stated reason for the block. | |||
*State your request (see "Suggested requests", above) | |||
*A brief statement as to why you feel this is necessary. | |||
