[edit] Proposed addition to policy

[edit] Off-wiki personal attacks

The policy of no personal attacks is designed to provide an environment conducive to the creation of an encyclopedia by a community of interested people. As such, personal attacks made by editors of Wikipedia against other editors of Wikipedia in online forums and personal websites, for the specific purpose of bypassing this policy, will be considered disruptive behavior and a violation of this policy.

  • If you are an editor of Wikipedia, do not make personal attacks against other editors. This is non-negotiable;
  • If you have been warned or blocked for personal attacks, engaging in the same behavior elsewhere violates the positive community spirit all Wikipedians should foster and may demonstrate bad faith;
  • Depending on their context, links from Wikipedia to a source that contains personal attacks or personal information on or about Wikipedia editors may constitute the same disruption and violation of this policy as making personal attacks. In general, such links should be avoided except in specific acceptable cases, such as bringing the issue to community attention for remedy or providing evidence in a request for comment or a request for arbitration;
  • Although it is not policy and sometimes controversial, some Wikipedians may see removing links to personal attacks as an appropriate reaction.
