This page lists individual editors subject to '''editing restrictions''' (also called '''personal sanctions'''), which includes [[Wikipedia:Banning policy|bans]] and other types of restrictions; editors who are subject to site bans are listed at [[:Category:Banned Wikipedia users]] instead. These restrictions may be imposed by the Arbitration Committee or by the Wikipedia community. These do not include [[Wikipedia:General sanctions|general sanctions]], which apply to all editors working in particular topic areas.

The [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee|Arbitration Committee]] may impose restrictions on users engaged in inappropriate behavior, usually following a [[Wikipedia:Arbitration#Requesting arbitration|request for arbitration]]. Such restrictions may be modified or revoked by motion, usually following a [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment|request for amendment of the original case]].

The [[Wikipedia:Community|community]] may also impose a number of different editing restrictions on users engaged in inappropriate behavior, usually at an [[WP:Administrators' noticeboard|administrators' noticeboard]]. Such restrictions may be revoked at the same venue by the community when the community believes they are no longer necessary.

If a user has repeatedly violated policy to the point that any further violation will result in a block, specific final warnings worthy of documentation may also be listed here under "final warnings". This section is only for warnings regarding the further violation of existing policies, rather than for added restrictions that revoke an editor's normal [[WP:Editing privileges|editing privileges]]. For this purpose, an unblock condition that explicitly indicates the user will be reblocked if violated is considered a "final warning".

== Types of restrictions ==
The following is a list of the most common types of restrictions; however, the wording of such remedies may vary, so '''be sure to check the wording in each particular case in the first instance''' prior to relying on default recommendations. Restrictions that do not specify a duration are indefinite by default. These restrictions are usually enforced by blocking the user if they violate them. More unique restrictions which have been imposed in unusual circumstances are not listed.

; Account restriction: The user is limited to editing with a certain number of accounts (usually one).

;{{anchor|civility}} Civility restriction: The user may be sanctioned (including blocks) if they make any edits which are judged by an administrator to be uncivil, personal attacks, or assumptions of bad faith.

; Probation (supervised editing): The user on probation may be banned from pages that they edit in a certain way (usually disruptively) by an uninvolved administrator. Probation is usually used as an alternative to an outright topic ban in cases where the editor shows some promise of learning better behavior.

; Move ban: The user is prohibited from directly moving (renaming) pages with the [[WP:Moving a page|page move]] feature (sometimes relating only to specific topics or namespaces).

; [[WP:1RR|Revert restriction]]: The user is limited to a certain number of reverts (usually one) per page/topic per period of time (usually 24 hours or one week); exceptions, such as obvious vandalism, may apply. The user is additionally required to discuss any content reversions on the page's talk page.

; [[WP:Topic ban|Topic ban]]: The user is prohibited from editing either (1) any page (or section of a page) relating to a particular topic, (2) particular pages that are specified in the ban, and/or (3) making any edits in relation to a particular topic. Such a ban may include or exclude corresponding talk pages.

; [[WP:Page ban|Article ban or page ban]]: The user is prohibited from editing a specific page or set of pages specified in the ban. Such a ban may include or exclude corresponding talk pages.

; [[WP:IBAN|Interaction ban]]: The user is prohibited from interacting with one or more users.

== Enforcement ==
Editors who violate Arbitration-imposed restrictions may be blocked or otherwise sanctioned as described in the relevant Arbitration case. It is always best for enforcement actions to be taken by uninvolved administrators. Generally, blocks for violating a civility restriction, a revert limitation, or a topic ban start at 24 hours per violation, but may escalate after multiple violations. All blocks and topic bans should be logged at the relevant Arbitration case page. Administrators who plan on enforcing Arbitration restrictions should check the case page for any case-specific enforcement language. For more information, see [[WP:AE|Arbitration enforcement]].
