Fangs Wiki:Revert policy

Reverting refers to any action, such as the use of the undo or rollback functions, or just simply manually, that reverses the actions of other editors, in whole or in part. maintains a principle of minimizing reversions. Revert vandalism on sight, but revert a good faith edit only after careful consideration. Edit warring is prohibited. Editors should provide an explanation when reverting.


 * If the edit has info that would generally need reference (i.e lore), but is not provided, then that may be reverted. However, info that does not usually need reference or proof (based on conventions), should not be reverted, based on good faith.
 * Users that are banned for continuously inserting false info, have their "good faith" removed. If they return, all their edits may thus be reverted if no valid proof is provided, until the community agrees that they have reformed. Edits, even if reverted, may still however be checked, with escalating penalties if they re-prove false.
 * If the edit stands in a grey area, where it tries to address an issue but fails and instead makes it worse, users should try to find alternatives to try and improve it and make it clearer for both sides. Rewording and compromising is usually better than reverting. This can effectively continue until someone reverts, which calls the below point.
 * Upon reverting, provide an edit summary and polite message on the contributor's Wall (or discord) with a valid reason (merely disagreeing is not a valid reason), preferably with a link to any policy applied. The original version always reigns (the most recent version before both users started editing), and the contributor may not re-revert to the new version if a consensus has not been reached. If the contributor feels that the revert was invalid, no reason was provided, or they can't communicate with the other, they may reach on discord to see what the community and moderators think. Invalid reverts may be issued a warning or block. See Project:Blocking policy.
