[edit] Wikilaw algorithms

Rather than memorize wikipedia policy, I've condensed what policy I've had to waste my time reading into simple algorithms. Please add more algorithms if you can! —Jemmytc

[NB. I'm leaving this in place for now, but in fact this is not how to go about it; a better algorithm makes use of page protection. I'll come back and fix it later.]

  1. Revert, Post to talk page asking for discussion and/or sources.
  2. If no response:
    1. Revert again; "Notifying the author you find disruptive in addition to any other relevant editor on their talk page about your wish to discuss may be helpful."
    2. "Attempt to engage new editor in dialogue. Refer to policies and guidelines as appropriate." (I.e., post a list of policies the editor is violating to the talk page.)
    3. Request intervention at WP:RFC/USER or WP:DISPUTE
    4. Request intervention on WP:ANI
  3. If nonsense response:
    1. Not specified in policy; attempt as above: revert post revert notify attempt request.

I'd like a template message for unresponsive in dialog.
