Permanently protected template
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template is best used when the conduct constitutes strategic misuse of Wikipedia’s rules or processes and cannot be better described by a more specific warning template (e.g., {{uw-disruptive}}). If the behavior is better captured by another policy, consider using a more precise template or posting a personalized message.

Information icon Please refrain from using Wikipedia's policies and procedures in a disruptive manner. Your edits appear to constitute gaming the system and have been reverted. "Gaming the system" refers to misusing Wikipedia’s policies, processes, or norms to gain an advantage rather than to collaborate constructively. Examples include policy cherry-picking, pushing rejected viewpoints, retaliatory editing, or abusing procedural tools (like AfD, AfC, or RfCs) to exhaust or sideline other editors. If you are unsure how to appropriately apply Wikipedia’s guidelines, you are encouraged to ask at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Repeated gaming the system may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you.
