Template:Balanced editing restriction notes

You are subject to a balanced editing restriction regarding the Arab–Israeli conflict for the next Specify a time length or "indef".

Full text of the balanced editing restriction
  • In a given 30-day period, a user under this restriction is limited to making no more than one-third of their edits in the Article, Talk, Draft, and Draft talk namespaces to pages that are subject to the extended-confirmed restriction under Arab–Israeli conflict contentious topic procedures.
    • This will be determined by an edit filter that tracks edits to pages in these namespaces that are extended confirmed protected, or are talk pages of such pages, and are tagged with templates to be designated by the arbitration clerks. Admins are encouraged to apply these templates when protecting a page, and the clerks may use scripts or bots to add these templates to pages where the protection has been correctly logged, and may make any necessary changes in the technical implementation of this remedy in the future.
    • Making an edit in excess of this restriction, as determined at the time the edit is made, should be treated as if it were a topic ban violation. Admins should note that a restricted user effectively cannot violate the terms of this and above clauses until at least 30 days after the sanction has been imposed.
  • They are topic banned from the Arab–Israeli conflict, broadly construed, in all namespaces other than these four (except for their own userspace and user talkspace).
  • This sanction is not subject to the normal standards of evidence for disruptive editing; it simply requires a finding that it would be a net positive for the project were the user to lower their activity in the topic area, particularly where an editor has repeatedly engaged in conflict but is not being intentionally or egregiously disruptive.
  • Any admin finding a user in violation of this restriction may, at their discretion, impose other contentious topic sanctions.

Please read the terms of the restriction in full, and keep the following points in mind:

  • This restriction does not necessarily mean you edited in bad faith. It only requires "a finding that it would be a net positive for the project were [you] to lower [your] activity in the topic area".
  • The topic-ban portion of the restriction—which applies outside of the main, talk, draft, and draft talk namespaces, except in your userspace—applies immediately, and works like any other topic ban.
  • The percentage-based portion becomes relevant 30 days from now.
  • You can track your PIA editing with the tool N95, or manually by following the steps at Wikipedia:Using the balanced editing restriction § Tracking.
