== Introduction to contentious topics ==

{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text = You have recently edited a page related to ”’articles about [[WP:Biographies of living persons|living or recently deceased people]], and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles”’, a topic designated as ””'[[WP:AC/CT|contentious]]””’. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and <em>does <strong>not</strong> imply that there are any issues with your editing</em>.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as ”contentious topics”. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the [[WP:ARB|Arbitration Committee]]. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia [[WP:ADMIN|administrators]] have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit <strong>carefully and constructively</strong>, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

*adhere to the [[Wikipedia:Purpose|purposes of Wikipedia]];

*comply with all applicable [[WP:PG|policies and guidelines]];

*follow editorial and behavioural best practices;

*comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and

*refrain from [[WP:GAMING|gaming the system]].

<p>Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics ”procedures”, you may ask them at the [[WT:AC/C|arbitration clerks’ noticeboard]] or you may learn more about this contentious topic [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Editing of Biographies of Living Persons|here]]. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{tl|Ctopics/aware}} template. </p>}}<!– Derived from Template:Contentious topics/alert/first –> [[User:Significa liberdade|Significa liberdade <small>(she/her)</small>]] ([[User talk:Significa liberdade|talk]]) 22:29, 11 September 2025 (UTC)
