Template:IPA AE

WARNING: ACTIVE ARBITRATION REMEDIES
The article Template:IPA AE is currently subject to discretionary sanctions authorized by active arbitration remedies (see WP:ARBIPA). An administrator has applied the following restrictions to this article:

Limit of one revert in 24 hours: This article is under WP:1RR (one revert per editor per article per 24-hour period).
Consensus required: 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.

These restrictions have been imposed pursuant to an arbitration decision which authorized discretionary sanctions for all edits about, and all pages related to, India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan and closely related articles. If you breach the restriction on this page, you may be blocked or otherwise sanctioned. Any uninvolved administrator may levy restrictions as an arbitration enforcement action on users editing in this topic area, after an initial alert. Please edit carefully.

Remedy instructions and exemptions

Enforcement procedures:

Violations of any of these restrictions should be reported immediately to the Arbitration enforcement noticeboard.
Editors who violate these restrictions may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.

With respect to the WP:1RR restriction:

Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions. In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as clear vandalism.
Clear vandalism of any origin may be reverted without restriction.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.

Discretionary sanctions can be used against any editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process. Discretionary sanctions can include blocks, topic-bans, or other restrictions.

If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. Remember: When in doubt, don't revert!

Usage

{{IPA AE |Consensus required= |BRD= }}

This template imposes 1RR and additional optional restrictions on an article. Administrators may apply this template to talk pages of articles relating to India, Pakistan and Afghanistan and closely related articles.

Optional restrictions

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 {{IPA 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.
