Yeah, banning someone for thinking they own a page seems a bit draconian and not what I intended for this proposal. This, however, does apply.

As a result of users lacking ownership of articles, editors are not allowed to subvert any of SmashWiki's policies on articles that they believe belong to themselves. For instance, they may not [[SW:1RV|revert edits more than once]], nor can they remove [[SW:DELETE|delete tags]] from articles they have created. Furthermore, they may not attempt to exert greater control on what is posted on the article, such as by frequent reverts, directly telling other users to avoid editing the article, or similar measures. | As a result of users lacking ownership of articles, editors are not allowed to subvert any of SmashWiki's policies on articles that they believe belong to themselves.

While some users may initially seem possessive of articles, always remember to [[SW:AGF|assume good faith]]. Some users may simply be unaccustomed to the idea of a article not belonging to themselves, and all disputes should be discussed with the user in question first instead of immediately involving an [[SW:ADMIN|administrator]]. | While some users may initially seem possessive of articles, always remember to [[SW:AGF|assume good faith]].

Note that offences of SmashWiki:Ownership are not strictly considered blockable offences; rather, the editor's actions taken as a result of believing he or she has ownership of a page, such as edit warring or other disruptive behaviour, are considered blockable offences. | |||
