== Possible indications and alternatives == |
|
|
Possible indications of wheel warring are: |
|
|
|
|
|
:* Administrators getting too distressed to discuss something. |
|
|
:* An administrator undoes another administrator's actions without consultation. |
|
|
:* An administrator deliberately ignores an existing discussion (often at the ] or ]) and implements their own preferred action or version of an edit. |
|
|
:* An administrative action is repeatedly performed and reversed (by anyone). |
|
|
|
|
|
If you feel the ''need'' to wheel war, try these alternatives: |
|
|
|
|
|
:* Discuss the substantive issue with opposing administrators. |
|
|
:* Post the issue to ] and '''wait''' for comment from other administrators. |
|
|
:* Seek ], just as you would in case of a potential edit war. |
|
|
:* Have ] |
