This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect.
It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
Please carefully read this information:
A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
The specific details of these sanctions are described here.
Broadly,
general sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means
uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the
purpose of Wikipedia, our
standards of behaviour, or relevant
policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as
editing restrictions,
bans, or
blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.
