Forum:Introducing Wikipedia's Three Revert Rule

Relocated from the Development Portal talk page

Due to recent occurrences on the wiki, it has come to me to enquire as to whether we should borrow Wikipedia's Three Revert Rule, which states that An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period (the whole policy in detail is here).

I think, in order to ensure that edit wars do not go on for longer than is deemed appropriate, I suggest that we should introduce this policy to ensure that any users involved in an edit war will be dealt with in a quick and fair manner, such as those involved given a 24-hour block.

So what does everyone think? Do you think this is a good and effective policy to introduce? Asher Éire 'Sup? 20:10, April 8, 2013 (UTC)

I think putting something formally regarding this policy is a good idea, since we already use it as a guideline and enforce it. I'm not sure whether a separate policy would be best, or whether it should be added to general policies, but I support adding it somewhere. --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 21:26, April 8, 2013 (UTC)
