Forum:Amendment to SW:1RV
|
This discussion is in regards to a proposed change on SmashWiki. The discussion must first meet with a consensus before it is implemented. |
There has been yet another dispute over how edit warring should be managed. While the user in question had originally written the current reform for the policy which we now use, there are obviously still some inherent flaws. Therefore, I propose the following amendment to the policy:
- When an edit war occurs, the article should be reverted to its original state until a discussion about the dispute is made and a consensus is reached.
I feel this amendment will solve two problems - it eliminates the possibility of bias anytime an administrator is involved in an edit war (yes, I know we have this but that doesn't necessarily ease minds), and for the case of someone who is trying to change an article, it means they do not automatically get their way on the occasions that a consensus discussion does not take place. This ultimately will help increase fairness across any edit war and any disputed changes don't get put in place unless the community agrees that they should be. Black Vulpine of the 🦊Furry Nation🐺.

Unnecessary, the article should just be left as is while the dispute is settled barring extreme cases, and as stated in the discord, what is the "original version" isn't clear cut, such as in the common scenario where someone makes a major edit and them someone else makes a fuss over a minor part of the edit. This is also trying to "solve" a "problem" that isn't there, just don't revert other people's reverts and go to the talk page no matter how minor one thinks the edit is. Omega Tyrant
