Project:Dispute resolution

Welcome to the Dispute resolution page. This page outlines processes and resources for resolving conflicts and disagreements within the wiki community.

Purpose

Disputes are a natural part of collaborative editing. The goal of dispute resolution is to address disagreements constructively and to maintain a positive, productive environment.

Steps for Resolving Disputes

1. Talk to the other party

Attempt to resolve issues directly and politely by discussing on article talk pages or user talk pages.

1. Seek a third opinion

If direct discussion does not resolve the issue, invite another experienced editor or administrator for a neutral perspective.

1. Request community input

Raise the issue on relevant noticeboards, such as Project:Administrators or the village pump, to gather wider input.

1. Formal mediation

For complex or persistent disputes, request formal mediation. An administrator or community-appointed mediator will help facilitate the discussion.

1. Review and appeal

If you disagree with an administrative action, you may request review by another administrator or escalate to bureaucrats.

Guidelines

• Assume good faith in all interactions.
• Be civil and avoid personal attacks.
• Focus discussions on content and policies, not on individuals.
• Document the dispute and resolution process if needed, for transparency.
