This is the central log for all sanctions issued pursuant to an
Arbitration Committee contentious topics remedy in 2020 as well as any appeals or modifications made to sanctions issued in 2020.
The required information is the user or page the sanction is being applied to, enforcing administrator, date, nature of sanction, including expiry date (if applicable), basis or context (such as link to AE request), and a diff of the user notification (if applicable).
“
All sanctions and page restrictions must be logged by the administrator who applied the sanction or page restriction at
Wikipedia:Arbitration enforcement log. Whenever a sanction or page restriction is appealed or modified, the administrator amending it must append a note recording the amendment to the original log entry.
To be valid, sanctions must be clearly and unambiguously labelled as an arbitration enforcement action (such as with "arbitration enforcement", "arb enforcement", "AE" or "WP:AE" in the
Wikipedia log entry or the edit summary). If a sanction has been logged as an arbitration enforcement action but has not been clearly labelled as an arbitration enforcement action any uninvolved administrator may amend the sanction (for example, a null edit or reblocking with the same settings) on behalf of the original administrator. Labelling a sanction which has been logged does not make the administrator who added the label the "enforcing administrator" unless there is confusion as to who intended the sanction be arbitration enforcement.
A central log of all page restrictions and sanctions (including blocks, bans, page protections or other restrictions) placed as arbitration enforcement (including contentious topic restrictions) is to be maintained by the Committee and its clerks at
Wikipedia:Arbitration enforcement log.
Note I've been advised to desist from the above practice of listing these protections here — I now see the error in that.

The following is added as a remedy to the
Antisemitism in Poland arbitration case:
7) 500/30 restriction: All IP editors, users with fewer than 500 edits, and users with less than 30 days' tenure are prohibited from editing articles related to the history of Jews and antisemitism in Poland during World War II (1933–45), including the Holocaust in Poland. This prohibition may be enforced preemptively by use of extended confirmed protection (ECP), or by other methods such as reverts, pending changes protection, and appropriate edit filters. Reverts made solely to enforce the 500/30 rule are not considered edit warring.
Editors who are not eligible to be extended-confirmed may use the Talk: namespace to post constructive comments and make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided they are not disruptive. Talk pages where disruption occurs may be managed by the methods mentioned above.
Գարիկ Ավագյան is reminded that some pages within discretionary sanctions areas are under WP:1RR, and is asked to exercise caution and check before reverting. If Գարիկ Ավագյան violates 1RR in the future they are reminded to self-revert and discuss. Գարիկ Ավագյան is warned that future violations could result in sanctions, including a topic ban from the conflict area. Based on
