From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

CURRENTLY, THIS PAGE IS BEING DEVELOPED FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY.

Wikipedia administrators perform administrative actions such as blocking and unblocking. The Wikipedia policy on blocking is at WP:BLOCK and for reversing the block of another administrator at WP:WHEEL. There are ethical principles that Wikipedia administrators should consider when performing these administrative actions.

Blocking[edit]

Unblocking[edit]

  • Avoid unblocking your Wikipedia friends to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest. Let another administrator handle it.
