- See also: Skyrim Wiki:Blocking guidelines
Reasons[]
The blocking of users is based on the assessment of the wiki administrators. Possible reasons for blocking are (but are not limited to):
- Wiki Policy Violations
- Vandalism
- Creation of posts that clearly disrupt the wiki
- Spam links to external websites
- Starting or engaging in conflicts with users
- Personal attacks, insults or threats against other users
- Creating an account with an unacceptable username
- Multiple Account Abuse
Duration[]
The duration of blocking is based on the assessment of the wiki administrators. For simple offenses, a possible procedure can be:
- Three days for the first offense
- A week for the second offense
- One month for the third offense
- Permanent ban for any further offense
Deletion[]
When content is deleted, it is removed from the wiki along with its version history. Integrated texts, media or templates are retained. Before deleting, the following should be checked:
- Creation time and processing history
- Eventual transfer of relevant information to remaining pages
- Page titles that make sense as a search term can possibly be converted into a redirect.
Deletion should be considered in the event of:
- Content that contradicts the wiki guidelines
- Redundant pages on the same topic
- Duplicates
User pages may be deleted at the request of the respective user.
Page protection[]
Reasons[]
Most pages should be left unprotected and allow editing without extended permissions. As a rule, side protection should be set up for the following pages:
- Critical parts of the wiki.
- This includes pages like the main page or frequently used templates.
- Items that are often the target of vandalism.
- Pages that are the "battlefield" for an "Edit-War".
- If a group of editors has repeatedly undone each other's changes, a page protection can encourage those involved to resolve the dispute through a discussion, if necessary.
User pages can be protected at the request of the respective user.
Duration[]
In general, page protection should only be used for as long as necessary. Articles should only be protected for a reasonable period.
