| '''Probation''' at Misplaced Pages is a formal, procedural warning against a Misplaced Pages editor, generally regarding specific conduct on a group of articles. It generally follows an Arbitration Committee finding that a particular user has edited one or more articles in a disruptive or objectionable way (e.g., by ]ring). | |||
| A user placed on probation by the Arbitration Committee is permitted to continue to edit in the subject areas in which they are on probation. If they edit an article in those subject areas in a disruptive or objectionable way, however, any ] who is not involved in the conflict may ban them from editing the article. The banned user may continue to edit the talk page, making suggestions as to content and discussing content. A ban may be imposed only for good cause which shall be documented in a section set aside for that purpose in the arbitration case. Banning without good cause or in bad faith shall be grounds for censure, restriction, or removal of administrative access. | |||
| {{Dispute-resolution}} | |||
| The administrator who imposes a page ban shall notify the banned user on their talk page of the ban and also place a notice at the top of the talk page of the article and also report it on ] setting forth the user name of the banned user, a link to the Arbitration Committee decision imposing probation, and the date the ban expires (which may be not later than the end of probation) and a link to this page. | |||
| In order to enforce probation it is necessary to attract the attention of an ] with enough interest and energy to investigate the matter and assume the risk of acting. Patience is counseled. Striking out at users on probation is strongly discouraged. | |||
| A template may be designed and used on Talk pages from which a user on Probation is banned. <!--examples, anyone?--> | |||
| ==Suggested remedies== | |||
| ===XXX placed on probation=== | |||
| 1) {{User|XXX}} is placed on ] for one year. This means that any administrator, in the exercise of their judgment for reasonable cause, documented in a section of this decision, may ban them from any article which relates to YYY which they disrupt by inappropriate editing. XXX must be notified on their talk page of any bans and a note must also be placed on WP:AN/I. They may post suggestions on the talk page of any article they are banned from editing. This remedy is crafted to permit XXX to continue to edit articles in those areas which are not sources of controversy. | |||
| ===Procedure for banning in probation for XXX=== | |||
| 1) Should a Misplaced Pages administrator feel it necessary that XXX be banned from an article where they are engaged in edit warring, removal of sourced material, POV reorganizations of the article or any other activity which the user considers disruptive they shall place a template '''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>]|UserXXX|ProbationEndDate|<nowiki>~~~~}}</nowiki>''' at the top of the talk page of the article and notify UserXXX on their talk page. The template shall include the ending date of the ban (subject to the administrator's discretion) and a link to ]. The template may be removed by UserXXX or any other editor at the end of the ban. See ] | |||
| ===General probation=== | |||
| 1) In view of the dissatisfaction expressed by XXX with the decisions reached in this case and the apparent lack of insight into any role his own behavior played in the creation and aggravation of the problems which gave rise to this case he is placed indefinitely on ]. If in the opinion of any three administrators, for good cause, he is responsible for disrupting the functioning of Misplaced Pages, restrictions may be placed on his editing, up to and including a general ban of one year. Each restriction imposed shall be documented and explained in a section at the bottom of '''Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/(Name of case)'''. Should any period of one year pass without any such restriction being imposed XXX's probation shall automatically end. | |||
