Wikipedia:Supervised editing proposal
 | This is a failed proposal. Consensus for its implementation was not established within a reasonable period of time. If you want to revive discussion, please use the talk page or initiate a thread at the village pump. |
In lieu of bans or blocking an editor altogether, the arbitration committee, or its authorised delegates, may enforce periods of supervision.
Background[edit]
This policy arose out of a desire to maintain both order and freedom of expression on Wikipedia.
Levels of supervision[edit]
There are five levels of supervision
- A nominated supervisor reviews all edits on a regular basis, and may require a higher level of supervision if the user's edits breach specified guidelines.
- The user must locate an authorised supervisor before making an edit on specified articles. The supervisor will then leave a note on the editors talk page stating the pages the user is authorised to edit and for what time period.
- The user must locate an authorised supervisor before making an edit on any page. The supervisor will then leave a note on the editors talk page stating what pages the user is authorised to edit and for what time period.
- The user may only suggest changes on edit talk pages but not article pages.
- The user may only edit their own personal pages but no other page.
Failure to comply[edit]
Failure to comply with the conditions of supervision results in an immediate increase in the level of supervision. If the user is already on level 3 supervision, an administrator may enforce a ban.
Appointment of supervisors[edit]
Only the arbitration committee, and its authorised delegates, may appoint a supervisor. A supervisor may be authorised to superives specific users for specific time periods, or may be authorise to supervise any user who is under a supervision order.
