Extended confirmed restriction (area also falls under
WP:CT/EE
)
|
All articles and edits in the area are subject to a "reliable source consensus-required" contentious topic restriction. When a source that is not an article in a peer-reviewed scholarly journal, an academically focused book by a reputable publisher, and/or an article published by a reputable institution is removed from an article, no editor may reinstate the source without first obtaining consensus on the talk page of the article in question or consensus about the reliability of the source in a discussion at the
Reliable Sources Noticeboard
. Administrators may enforce this restriction with page protections, topic bans, or blocks; enforcement decisions should consider not merely the severity of the violation but the general disciplinary record of the editor in violation.
|
The extended confirmed restriction in this area is
from 2020
; the "reliable source consensus-required" restriction was
added in 2021
and
modified in 2023

Civility in infobox discussions
(

Discussions about infoboxes and to edits adding, deleting, collapsing, or removing verifiable information from
infoboxes
|
Contentious topic
|
Any uninvolved administrator may apply infobox probation as a
contentious topic
restriction per remedy 2. That user will be indefinitely restricted from:
- adding, deleting or collapsing infoboxes;
- restoring an infobox that has been deleted; or
- making more than one comment in a discussion, where that discussion is primarily about the inclusion or exclusion of an infobox on a given article.
For clarity, an editor under probation is permitted to edit an already existing infobox, but should be cautious of giving the appearance that they are attempting to game their probation as this may lead to more contentious topic sanctions.
They may, if they wish, add an infobox in the same edit or series of edits when they:
- create a new article; or
- convert an article from a redirect.
The user under probation may also participate in wider policy discussions regarding infoboxes with no restriction.
- All discussions about infoboxes and to edits adding, deleting, collapsing, or removing verifiable information from infoboxes, are designated as a
contentious topic
.
