Shortcuts

This Arbitration Committee has been mentioned by a media organization:

Ramey, Corinne (May 7, 2018). "The 15 People Who Keep Wikipedia's Editors From Killing Each Other". Wall Street Journal.

List at WP:ECR[edit]

WP:ECR should list topics subject to extended confirmed restriction (or link to such a list), so new editors who land there can find out what they're not supposed to edit.

Perhaps this table listing both CT and ECR could replace Template:Contentious_topics/table on that page. Jruderman (talk) 04:45, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If ArbCom doesn't mind relinquishing the shortcut, WP:ECR should probably be a stand-alone navigational aid page, with a description of both versions of the restriction:ArbCom's ARBECR and the community's general sanctions version. It could include a list of affected topics. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 04:59, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm hesitant about changing the shortcut because its main purpose is to explain the restriction, not to list additional areas under the restriction. I think an explanatory footnote would improve the section, so I added one here. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:15, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
