Incompleteness
This page covers simple cases of "Addition" and "Removal", but does not cover any variety of "Change" (e.g., copyediting, changing the meaning, rearranging). Should it? WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:31, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
- WhatamIdoing, the thing to remember is that this restriction only comes into effect when someone objects to a change. But it doesn't really matter if it involves plus or minus bytes being added/removed. Even whenever there is zero byte change accompanying an edit, it would still involve new letters being added (replacing older ones) to change words in sentences (or a new image or template replacing an older one, whatever). The focus is on the alteration of longstanding content. That's it. Hope that answers your question. El_C 23:26, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
What's this page for?
Different editors seem to have different views on the purpose of this page. One possible interpretation is that this is a specific set of rules that is more restrictive than average and which applies only when Misplaced Pages:Discretionary sanctions about consensus are being enforced. The other obvious interpretation is that this is meant to explain the normal, everyday approach to consensus-based collaborative editing. User:El C, what was your intent? WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:33, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
- Can't those both be true at the same time? This restriction follows the same dynamic as Consensus but is much strict, similar to 1RR vs 3RR. Kolya Butternut (talk) 20:41, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
- "Everyday" and "much stricter than everyday" cannot both be true at the same time. WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:15, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
- This discretionary sanction can largely be seen as a more strict (binding) version of WP:ONUS. So, while ONUS ought to be observed, one is unlikely to face sanctions for failing to do so, even multiple times (though someone who chronically ignores it, eventually, probably will).
