Information icon Hello, I'm Sideswipe9th. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Emma Portner have been undone because they did not appear to use the name and gendered words that match with the subject's most recent reliably published gender identity. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks! Sideswipe9th (talk) 20:22, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

When editing a contentious topic, Misplaced Pages’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Misplaced Pages administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

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

  • 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.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations.
