Template:American politics AE/doc

Usage
This template is used to notify editors on a talk page that additional restrictions apply on the article. It imposes 1RR and additional optional restrictions on an article. Administrators may apply this template to talk pages of articles relating to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people.


 * Optional restrictions
 * 1RR (default=yes) imposes the sanction Limit of one revert in 24 hours: This article is under WP:1RR (one revert per editor per article per 24-hour period). It also adds some explanatory information in the collapse box.
 * Consensus required (default=yes) imposes the sanction All editors must obtain consensus on the talk page of this article before reinstating any edits that have been challenged (via reversion). This includes making edits similar to the ones that have been challenged. If in doubt, don't make the edit.
 * BRD (default=no) imposes the sanction: If a change you make to this article is reverted, you may not reinstate that change unless you discuss the issue on the talk page and wait 24 hours (from the time of the original edit). Partial reverts/reinstatements that reasonably address objections of other editors are preferable to wholesale reverts.

Note Consensus required and BRD restrictions should not be applied to the same article.

IMPORTANT: When applying this banner to a talk page, it is required to also add American politics AE/Edit notice as an edit notice to the main article. Failure to do so renders the restrictions ineffective. Page restrictions must also be logged at the arbitration enforcement log.

This template previously contained a civility restriction; consensus at AN vacated that restriction on November 5, 2018.
