The zero-revert rule states:
- "If anyone makes a change that you don't like, don't revert it. Instead, talk about it on the article talk page or on their user talk page. This excludes vandalism."
This rule is primarily for teams of contributors who want to avoid edit wars and assume good faith.
Team members sign up and are initially considered "members in good standing". Upon detecting a rule violation (i.e., reverting anything 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.
Regaining one's standing is as easy as undoing the revert that merited the suspension and discussing the edit in question.
