| The '''one-revert rule''' states: | |||
| {| class="messagebox" | |||
| |- | |||
| | | |||
| ||If anyone reverts your edits then leave the article in its reverted (that is, original) state and discuss it on the talk page. | |||
| | | |||
| |- | |||
| | | |||
| |} | |||
| This rule is primarily for teams of contributors who want to end an ]. Having realized that article development has ground to a halt because of incessant reversions, two or more people agree to give higher-than-usual respect to each other's edits. | |||
| An example is the ] started by Uncle Ed and William Connolley. | |||
| Non-members of the team are not bound by this rule. For them, the ] still applies (i.e., no more than 3 reverts per user per article, in any 24-hour period). | |||
| Note that the three-revert rule is NOT voluntary, and is enforced by the ]. The one-revert rule is voluntary and as such is not enforced (other than by conscience and peer pressure). | |||
| Team members sign up and are initially considered "members in good standing". Upon detecting a rule violation (i.e., reverting a revert instead of discussing the revert), any member in good standing may '''move the name''' of the violator to the "Suspended" section. The result of a suspension is that the members who are still in good standing obviously continue to trust each other to edit together harmoniously. | |||
| Regaining one's standing is as easy as (1) undoing the revert that merited the suspension and (2) discussing the edit in question. (While on suspension, one ought not to attempt to restore his own credentials; please wait for a member in good standing to do that.) | |||
