Welcome to the edit warring noticeboard

This page is for reporting active edit warriors and recent violations of the three-revert rule.

Sections older than 48 hours are archived by Lowercase sigmabot III.

See this guide for instructions on creating diffs for this report.
If you see that a user may be about to violate the three-revert rule, consider warning them by placing {{subst:uw-3RR}} on their user talk page.

(For help, see Misplaced Pages:Purge)

Shortcuts

You must notify any user you report.

You may use {{subst:an3-notice}} to do so.

Additional notes:

You can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.

When reporting a user here, your own behavior will also be scrutinized. Be sure you understand WP:REVERT and the definitions below first.
Possible alternatives to filing here are dispute resolution, or a request for page protection.
WP:1RR violations may also be brought here. Your report should include two reverts that occurred within a 24-hour period, and a link to where the 1RR restriction was imposed.
A 3RR report helper tool is available, which can assist in diff gathering and reporting. Be sure to remove non-reverts from the report or it may be rejected.

Definition of edit warring

Edit warring is a behavior, typically exemplified by the use of confrontational edits to win a content dispute. It is different than a bold, revert, discuss (BRD) cycle. Reverting vandalism and banned users is not edit warring; at the same time, content disputes, even egregious point of view edits and other good-faith changes do not constitute vandalism. Administrators often must make a judgment call to identify edit warring when cooling disputes. Administrators currently use several measures to determine if a user is edit warring.

Definition of the three-revert rule (3RR)

An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Violations of the this rule normally attract blocks of at least 24 hours. Any appearance of gaming the system by reverting a fourth time just outside the 24-hour slot is likely to be treated as a 3RR violation. See here for exemptions.

You can use Twinkle to report edit warring now, which will handle diffs for you automagically!

What this page is for

This is a sandbox for testing changes in two of the templates used for submissions to the 3RR noticeboard. The current versions are:

The proposal is to allow interested admins to issue blocks that permanently link back to the 3RR case which was the reason for the block. (The block reason would include the permanent link). At present, blocks are sometimes notated with something like WP:AN3#User:Foo reported by User:Bar (Result: 24 hours). These wikilinks provide useful information during the first two days after a block but are useless long term because archiving of the noticeboard breaks the link.

The above 'userlinks' template is a special version that would be used instead of the standard {{userlinks}} in the 3RR header. It has an extra button called 'permalink'. An admin can click on that after closing the 3RR report and it will bring up a block form containing the name of the editor and a block reason with a permanent link to the report.

When you hit 'Click here to create a new report' in this sandbox you are exercising a special version of the Example preload file created by User:Wbm1058. It contains the template code to create a permalink which we assume that ordinary submitters won't be inconvenienced by, since they won't know what it is.

If you want to try out this sandbox as an admin, you can hit 'Click here to create a new report' and go through all the steps that ordinary editors would take in making a report. If you wish, you can add the name of User:ThisIsaTest as the person being reported. This is the account used for testing out the block ability in the New Admin School. You don't actually have to issue a block if you don't want to, you can just observe the block form with the fields all filled out. If you see a working permanent link in the block reason, the test has succeeded. Note that you need to close and save the 3RR report before you hit the 'permalink' button. This includes stating your action, whatever it may be. Presumably your action is a block or you wouldn't be needing the permanent link facility. EdJohnston (talk) 03:19, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Fixed some wording above based on Bbb23's review. It is understood that you may be typing 'blocked' but may not yet have done the block. In practice I don't sweat the details of that. EdJohnston (talk) 19:21, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

Special:Permalink instead of Template:oldid2

I had an Arbcom board on my watchlist and noticed this link being posted that used oldid2 (no comment on the case, I only noticed the link format):

{{oldid2|592878280|Proposed motion: Kww admonished|Motion}}
Motion

The same thing can be rewritten using Special:Permalink. Template brackets like {{ and }} don't do anything in an edit summary, or in a block notice. However wikilinks work in a edit summary, and Special:Permalink creates a wikilink:

]
Motion

It's too bad that there's no way to create a diff using a wikilink. EdJohnston (talk) 00:35, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
