Shortcut WP:GS/AAWP:GS/AA

As of 13:13, September 8, 2023, percommunity discussion:

• Politics, ethnic relations, and conflicts involvingArmenia,Azerbaijan, or both—broadly construed and explicitly including theArmenian genocide—are placed under an extended confirmed restriction.
• In the rest of theArmenia–Azerbaijan topic area, the community endorses administrators making liberal use ofextended confirmed protection as anarbitration enforcement action.

Extended confirmed restriction: onlyextended-confirmed editors may make edits related to the topic area, subject to the following provisions:

A. The restriction applies to all edits and pages related to the topic area, broadly construed, with the following exceptions:

1. Non-extended-confirmed editors may use the "Talk:" namespace to post constructive comments and make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided they are not disruptive. Should disruption occur on "Talk:" pages, administrators may take enforcement actions described in "B" or "C" below. However, non-extended-confirmed editors maynot make edits to internal project discussions related to the topic area, even within the "Talk:" namespace. Internal project discussions include, but are not limited to, AfDs, WikiProjects, RfCs, RMs, and noticeboard discussions.

2. Non-extended-confirmed editors may not create new articles, but administrators may exercise discretion when deciding how to enforce this remedy on article creations. Deletion of new articles created by non-extended-confirmed editors is permitted but not required.

B. If a page (other than a "Talk:" page) mostly or entirely relates to the topic area, broadly construed, this restriction is preferably enforced throughextended confirmed protection, though this is not required.

C. On any page where the restriction is not enforced through extended confirmed protection, this restriction may be enforced by other methods, including page protection, reverts, blocks, the use of pending changes, and appropriate edit filters.

D. Reverts made solely to enforce this restriction are not considered edit warring.

Separate from the above community-imposed restriction, theArbitration Committee has designated this topic acontentious topic. SeeWikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Armenia-Azerbaijan 2 for more information.
