The Arbitration Committee has resolved bymotion that:
Wikipedia:Contentious topics#Renewal of page restrictions andWikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Procedures#Renewal of page restrictions are modified as follows:
If an uninvolved administrator (including the original enforcing administrator) decides that a page restriction is still necessary after one year, the administrator may renew the restriction by re-imposing it under this procedure andlogging the renewalnoting the CTOP invoked in the protection reason. The administrator renewing a page restriction then becomes the enforcing administrator.Page protections must clearly note in the protection reason that the protection action is an arbitration enforcement action and link to the applicable contentious topic page (e.g.,WP:CT/BLP), which will cause the action to be automatically logged atWikipedia:Arbitration enforcement log/Protections. This does not apply to page restrictions imposed by consensus at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard.
Wikipedia:Contentious topics#Logging andWikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Procedures#Logging 2 are modified as follows:
Contentious topic restrictions, excepting page protections, must be recorded in the arbitration enforcement log by the administrator who takes the action.Page protections must clearly note in the protection reason that the protection action is an arbitration enforcement action and link to the applicable contentious topic page (e.g.,WP:CT/BLP), which will cause the action to be automatically logged atWikipedia:Arbitration enforcement log/Protections.
Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Procedures#Logging is modified as follows:
All sanctions and page restrictions, except page protections, must be logged by the administrator who applied the sanction or page restriction atWikipedia:Arbitration enforcement log.Page protections must clearly note in the protection reason that the protection action is an arbitration enforcement action and link to the applicable contentious topic page (e.g.,WP:CT/BLP), which will cause the action to be automatically logged atWikipedia:Arbitration enforcement log/Protections.
A central log of all page restrictions and sanctions (including blocks, bans, page protections or other restrictions) placed as arbitration enforcement (including contentious topic restrictions) is to be maintained by the Committee and its clerks atWikipedia:Arbitration enforcement logandWikipedia:Arbitration enforcement log/Protections.
