• If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page ↗. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus ↗.


• Always use edit summaries ↗ to explain your changes.


• When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source ↗.

Introduction to contentious topics

{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text = You have recently edited a page related to '''India ↗, Pakistan ↗, and Afghanistan ↗''', a topic designated as '''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 Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

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

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;


• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;


• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;


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


• refrain from 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 arbitration clerks' noticeboard ↗ or you may learn more about this contentious topic 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 --> <span style="color:#070">Doug Weller</span> talk 18:09, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello and welcome to Wikipedia ↗! It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates ↗ from :Kurukshetra district ↗. When removing a maintenance template ↗, please either ensure that the problem that the template refers to has been resolved, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary ↗. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as this change has been reverted ↗. Take a look at getting started ↗ to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Thank you.<!-- Template:uw-tdel1 --> - Arjayay (talk) 21:19, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
