Main page: Wikipedia:Dispute resolution

Dispute resolution requests provides a central compilation and easy-access overview of noticeboards for dispute resolution, and details the various different methods used at each of the Wikipedia dispute resolution pages.

Article content dispute resolution requests

Third opinion Specialised noticeboards Requests for comment Dispute resolution noticeboard Request an outside opinion when there is a content dispute between only two users. Ask questions and request assistance from users familiar with the content policies and guidelines relevant to that noticeboard. Request input on a specific content issue from a broad number of uninvolved users. Have uninvolved volunteers facilitate a discussion about an ongoing content dispute. Unsure which one to use? Check out our guide to dispute resolution, or ask at the talk page.

User conduct dispute resolution requests

Edit warring noticeboard Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents Arbitration Enforcement Report editors who are repeatedly undoing others' edits to try to "win" a dispute. Request assistance from administrators and experienced editors regarding recent or ongoing misconduct by an editor. Request enforcement against a user who you feel is acting in breach of the remedies described in a closed arbitration case. Unsure which one to use? Check out our guide to dispute resolution, or ask at the talk page.

Advanced disputes

Arbitration Cases Apply to the Arbitration Committee for an examination and binding decision regarding a long-standing issue of misconduct after all other avenues of dispute resolution have been exhausted.

Please read before requesting informal mediation

This is for requesting informal mediation regarding content disputes. This is not a place to report editor behavior or other conduct related issues, please see the above dispute resolution desk for appropriate venues for conduct-related disputes. Prerequisites for informal mediation MedCab is an intermediary step between informal dispute resolution processes such as Third Opinion, Dispute Resolution Noticeboard, and Wikiquette Assistance and the more formal processes of Formal Mediation and Arbitration. While not a hard and fast rule, we recommend at least some attempted prior use of something like a Third Opinion, the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard, or Wikiquette Assistance. We may also accept a discussion at some other noticeboard or project to be sufficient prerequisite. Mere discussion on the article talk page or user pages will not ordinarily suffice without a prior attempt at dispute resolution, though this can be ignored when it's needed or the talk page discussion has been sufficiently complex without the need for outside help. Mediators and prospective mediators may review and consider the arguments and conduct of the parties during the prior dispute resolution attempts.
