This proposal was rejected by the community. It has not gained consensus and seems unlikely to do so. Per Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines: "A rejected page is any proposal for which consensus support is not present, regardless of whether there's active discussion or not." |
In lieu of bans or blocking an editor altogether, the arbitration committee, or its authorised delegates, may enforce periods of supervision.

[edit] Background
This policy arose out of a desire to maintain both order and freedom of expression on Wikipedia.
[edit] Levels of supervision
There are five levels of supervision
- A nominated supervisor reviews all edits on a regular basis, and may require a higher level of supervision if the user's edits breach specified guidelines.
- The user must locate an authorised supervisor before making an edit on specified articles. The supervisor will then leave a note on the editors talk page stating the pages the user is authorised to edit and for what time period.
- The user must locate an authorised supervisor before making an edit on any page. The supervisor will then leave a note on the editors talk page stating what pages the user is authorised to edit and for what time period.
- The user may only suggest changes on edit talk pages but not article pages.
- The user may only edit their own personal pages but no other page.
[edit] Failure to comply
Failure to comply with the conditions of supervision results in an immediate increase in the level of supervision. If the user is already on level 3 supervision, an administrator may enforce a ban.
[edit] Appointment of supervisors
Only the arbitration committee, and its authorised delegates, may appoint a supervisor. A supervisor may be authorised to superives specific users for specific time periods, or may be authorise to supervise any user who is under a supervision order.
