The three-revert rule applies to reverts by all three editors and, where they participate in discussions together, they are required to disclose this restriction and their arguments should be treated as though they were advanced by a single user.
- With the standard exceptions, Bananakingler (talk · contribs) is restricted to one revert per 24 hours on any page within the Maghreb topic area, broadly construed. This remedy may be appealed after six months, and every six months thereafter.

Contentious topic procedure: awareness, warnings, renewal, and banners
There are four proposals which amend various parts of the contentious topics procedure: simplifying awareness by replacing it with warnings, cautioning against repeated warnings, eliminating page restriction renewal, and reducing banner blindness. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Motions § Contentious topic changes. For the Arbitration Committee, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 19:54, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
