#'''Support'''. Seeing some recent edit wars this looks like a good idea.<span style="font-family:Algerian;text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #2091ff">'''[[User:supatoad64|<span style="color:blue;">SupαToαd64,</span>]] [[User talk:supatoad64|<span style="color:lime;">the Best</span>]]'''</span> [[Image:001Toad.jpg|20px]] 19:12, September 22, 2019 (EDT)
#'''Support''' Don't really see a reason to oppose. There doesn't seem to be anything positive about edit wars. [[User:Crazy456Rhino|An Adventurer draws near!]] ([[User talk:Crazy456Rhino|talk]]) 09:47, September 25, 2019 (EDT)

This is phrased weirdly, so I thought I'd check before supporting -- does this version of the policy still prevent users from reverting edits that are in violation of this policy? It says "other" policies, so that implies that it is ''only'' other policies, but it isn't quite as clear as 1RV currently is. If the intention is for that part of 1RV to remain the same, then I would suggest rephrasing to say something to the effect of "policies (excluding violations of this reversion policy, as that will generally only serve to escalate the situation)". If the intention is to eliminate that part of the policy, then I strongly disagree. [[User:TheNuttyOne|TheNuttyOne]] 09:06, June 20, 2019 (EDT)

:Reverting a revert which violates 1RV is still reverting a revert, and so it still violates it. ''[[User:Trainer Alex|<span style="color: blue;">'''Alex'''</span>]] the [[User talk:Trainer Alex|<span style="color: red;">'''Jigglypuff trainer'''</span>]]'' 09:24, June 20, 2019 (EDT)

:That being said, would people prefer if I added a section about what doesn't constitute an exception to 1RV? ''[[User:Trainer Alex|<span style="color: blue;">'''Alex'''</span>]] the [[User talk:Trainer Alex|<span style="color: red;">'''Jigglypuff trainer'''</span>]]'' 09:29, June 20, 2019 (EDT)

Bumping this proposal. ''[[User:Trainer Alex|<span style="color: blue;">'''Alex'''</span>]] the [[User talk:Trainer Alex|<span style="color: red;">'''Jigglypuff trainer'''</span>]]'' 14:22, August 4, 2019 (EDT)
So what happens if one is trying to stop an edit war by having to edit war? For example, I revert an edit that User X made, then he reverts it. I then revert his edit because it's edit warring and then start a discussion on it.

:Only if it meets one of the four conditions listed in the policy. Otherwise it's not permitted, both under the original policy and this one. Assuming you're referring to the edit war on ZeRo's page, this would be ok since as you pointed out, ZeRo is severely lacking in results for ''Ultimate'', and so the editor is violating [[SW:NOTABLE]].

Maybe I am missing something, but I am not sure what this policy would add that 1RV doesn't already cover. Could you break that down? <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva;border:outset #083 2px">'''[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083;background:#ed0;padding:1px">Serpent</span>]][[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0;background:#083;padding:1px">King</span>]]'''</span> 17:01, September 9, 2019 (EDT)
:This version includes a clearer explanation of what exceptions are, more advice about how to deal with edit wars, more on what an edit war actually is, and the focus of the article is on edit warring itself, not the term used to describe how it is governed.

I want to pass this, are you fine with me moving this out of your userspace? <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva;border:outset #083 2px">'''[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083;background:#ed0;padding:1px">Serpent</span>]][[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0;background:#083;padding:1px">King</span>]]'''</span> 13:31, December 3, 2019 (EST)
