Wikipedia talk:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement

Shortcut WT:AE Note: This talk page should only be used for discussion about the way arbitration enforcement operates: how to use the enforcement noticeboard, who can post and why, etc. All discussion about specific enforcement requests should be routed through the main noticeboard or other relevant pages for discussion. Discussion about the committee in general should go to a wider audience at WT:AC or WT:ACN. → Please click here to start a new topic. ←

Note about these archives In 2008 the committee amalgamated all talk pages of the various arbitration requests subpages, and from then AE-related discussion took place at WT:AC. In 2015 this decision was overturned and AE regained a stand-alone talk page (with the committee ruling that it should have one solely for procedural and meta-discussion, with it not being used to rehash enforcement requests themselves). There are therefore two distinct archives for this page. Archive 3 and onwards are from after the restoration of the talk page. Archive 1 and 2 above are the archives from before the amalgamation.

This page has archives. Sections older than 60 days may be automatically archived by Lowercase sigmabot III when more than 4 sections are present.

Hey, could someone take a look at that? FortunateSons (talk) 21:40, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement/Archive332#Makeandtoss and M.Bitton? It looks like the last comment in that discussion was on 28 May so the discussion is probably done and it just hasn't been closed. Adam Black ^{talk • contribs} 21:53, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I do, thank you for linking to it. My reading of that is that there is not sufficient consensus for a close in either direction, and was left open for further participation which has not (yet) occurred. FortunateSons (talk) 21:58, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I haven't really read through it. I just scanned the dates. If no one has added anything in over a week, to a discussion started almost a month ago on 10 May, I think it's unlikely there's going to be further input. Adam Black ^{talk • contribs} 22:03, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It needs administrative closure. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 22:05, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I realise that. I was meaning I think that the discussion probably is "done", not that it didn't still need closing. Adam Black ^{talk • contribs} 22:07, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am indefinitely topic-banned from the Israel-Palestine conflict area. Does this mean I'm not allowed to participate in discussions on article talk pages related to this topic? ☆SuperNinja2☆ TALK! 20:50, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To the best of my knowledge, it includes everything everywhere on en.wiki. FortunateSons (talk) 20:53, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Super ninja2 That is correct; however, it was implemented on 8 January and is appealable (at WP:AN) after 6 months, so you would be able to do that on 8 July. Black Kite (talk) 20:55, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A few years ago Lugnuts repeatedly violated a topic ban, but no one noticed because he was such a prolific editor and because the editors he violated them in disputes with weren't aware of the sanctions. I've considered how to address this a few times over the years, and I've settled on creating a tool that lists such sanctions similar to how page bans are listed when "Strike out usernames that have been blocked" is shown.

However, including AE sanctions doesn't seem viable given the structure of Wikipedia:Arbitration enforcement log, as there would be too many false negatives and false positives. I was hoping admins might be willing to start logging relevant sanctions at Wikipedia:Editing restrictions as well as the log? I would be willing to go through the logs and transfer any relevant and still active past sanctions over.

If it would help/bribe, I would also be willing to create a tool that assists in closing AE discussions? It would log all actions at Wikipedia:Arbitration enforcement log, and for relevant sanctions log them at Wikipedia:Editing restrictions#Arbitration enforcement log. If it would be helpful, and not overlap with other existing tools such as Twinkle, it could also support making and logging discretionary enforcement actions?

My understanding is that we keep the AE log separately (but include a link to it) because the editing restrictions page would be too long otherwise. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 02:47, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Say you have a case of WP:GAMING, but the only way to show it is to present a lengthy discussion, then what? I'm not sure how to go forward with this, I was thinking of showing some screenshots and highlighting them for practically, but dunno. HistoryofIran (talk) 14:20, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You can ask for an extension (including ahead of filing). My suggestion is to sandbox it and then ask for permission to post that. Barkeep49 (talk) 14:25, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Got it, thanks Barkeep49! HistoryofIran (talk) 16:01, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
