Wikipedia:Editing restrictions

This page lists individual editors subject to editing restrictions (also called personal sanctions), which includes bans and other types of restrictions; editors who are subject to site bans are listed at Category:Banned Wikipedia users instead. These restrictions may be imposed by the Arbitration Committee or by the Wikipedia community. These do not include general sanctions, which apply to all editors working in particular topic areas.

The Arbitration Committee may impose restrictions on users engaged in inappropriate behavior, usually following a request for arbitration. Such restrictions may be modified or revoked by motion, usually following a request for amendment of the original case.

The community may also impose a number of different editing restrictions on users engaged in inappropriate behavior, usually at an administrators' noticeboard. Such restrictions may be revoked at the same venue by the community when the community believes they are no longer necessary.

If a user has repeatedly violated policy to the point that any further violation will result in a block, specific final warnings worthy of documentation may also be listed here under "final warnings". This section is only for warnings regarding the further violation of existing policies, rather than for added restrictions that revoke an editor's normal editing privileges. For this purpose, an unblock condition that explicitly indicates the user will be reblocked if violated is considered a "final warning".
