Template:Gs/talk notice/doc

This template should be placed on talk pages to notify editors that the article is within the scope of active community-authorised general sanctions.

This template should be placed at the top of a talk page, below the header (if used) but above all other templates. This template will place an article into Category:Wikipedia articles under general sanctions.

Usage

• Required: |1= (or |topic=): A topic code from the list below
• Optional: |2= (or |type=): Type of talk notice to be displayed. Default "standard" if not specified. Must be one of "long", "standard" or "mini". "long" will show a "Remedies and exemptions" collapsed box, mini will state no more than two sentences. Generally, do not use "long" unless the topic authorises page-specific sanctions, or an admin has authorised page-specific sanctions. See examples above.

Additional sanctions

If the topic area includes additional sanctions (eg 1RR) on all articles this talk notice will include information about those restrictions automatically. No additional information needs to be added.

However, if page-level sanctions are added by an administrator under community-authorised discretionary sanctions, that should be stated using the following parameters:

• Common sanctions
  • |1rr= - 1RR is applicable for this article
  • |consensusrequired= - Consensus is required to restore edits
  • |brd= - A 24-hour BRD is compulsory
• Custom restrictions
  • |restriction1= - Description of the restriction (will be displayed as a bullet). Example: |restriction1=Example custom restriction (very creative)

For custom restrictions, 1 may be replaced with any other number to add multiple page-level restrictions. These parameters must be consecutive (eg, restriction1, restriction2, restriction3, etc.) -- a digit cannot be omitted (restriction1, restriction3, restriction4 will not work). Custom restrictions should be properly logged on the page for the sanctions. If page-level discretionary sanctions are authorised, an edit notice should be applied to the article as well.
