A2012 community discussion at theadministrators' noticeboard placedall pages about social groups, explicitly including caste associations and political parties related to India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal
undercommunity discretionary sanctions.
Subsequent enforcement tended to treat this sanction more akin to the "related to X, broadly construed" wording seen in most other sanctions.A 2023 discussion at the administrators' noticeboard found no objection to formalizing existingde facto practice, expanding the sanctions' scope topages related to South Asian social groups, broadly construed
.
Sanctions imposed cannot be undone by another administrator without approval of the sanctioning administrator or an appeal at theadministrators' noticeboard. Pages may be tagged with{{Gs/talk notice|sasg}}, which can be used to indicate that articles are within the scope of these sanctions. Prior to being sanctioned, editors can be notified of these sanctions with the{{subst:Gs/alert|sasg}} template. Use the {{subst:Community sanction}} template when imposing sanctions. For blocks, use {{subst:Uw-csblock}}.
