Campaigns Wikia:Three-revert rule

Wikipedia has an article on:

Wikipedia:Three-revert rule

This is a proposal. Please comment on the talk page.

The three-revert rule is intended as a limit on the acceptable amount of back and forth edits (edits which oscillate between two versions, without approaching a common ground). Depending on the situation, the three revert limit may result in any of the following procedures.

3RR and edit wars

In this case, the three-revert rule is in place to prevent edit warring. If one or more editors reverts an article or reapplies changes made three or more times, an edit war will be declared and an administrator will protect the page from editing for a period of 24 hours, allowing both parties to discuss their positions on the talk page.

At that point, a resolution page will be created as a subpage of Campaigns Wikia:Edit War Resolutions. A consensus vote would then be taken over the course of at least five (5) days, with the offending editor(s) making their arguments and third-party editors either supporting, opposing, or proposing a solution. Once a vote is closed, the result should be considered a ruling on the matter. However, a petition to reopen discussion and vote again may be passed.

If the results of the resolution vote are ignored by an individual and the changes have to be reverted three times, that individual will be banned for 3 days. Further reversions will result in a permanent block.

3RR and vandalism

Vandalism will not be tolerated on Campaigns Wikia. If an edit is reverted three times, the offending user will be blocked for three days. If, after the block has expired, the user reaches 3R (three reversions) again, the user will be blocked permanently.

Every society creates rules to ensure that things work smoothly. Campaigns Wikia is no exception. Please work with everyone else, and allow for diversity and diffences of opinion.
