Editing MarioWiki:Appeals

This page is an appeal system for [[Template:Reminder|reminders]], [[Template:Warning|warnings]], and [[Template:Lastwarn|last warnings]]. If you feel you have wrongly received a reminder or a warning, follow the instructions below to appeal the reminder/warning to the administrators. Please keep discussions '''''civil'''''.

Archived Appeals can be found [[MarioWiki:Appeals/Archive|here]].

'''This page observes the [[MarioWiki:No-signature policy|no-signature policy]].'''

==Notes==
If you feel that you have been wrongfully given a reminder and/or warning, you can have your case heard here. Please read through the "How-to" and the "Rules" carefully. Please note that both the users appealing the reminder/warning and the users who issued the reminder/warning are given a chance to present the administrators with reasons to rule in their favor. However, said comments can only be edited once; this will not expand into lengthy, back-and-forth arguments such as the ones found in [[MarioWiki:Proposals|proposal]] comments and talk page discussions.

==Rules==
#Reminders and/or Warnings given by an [[MarioWiki:Administrators|administrator]] cannot be appealed.
#No case can be heard more than once. Once a decision is made, that decision is final.
#If the reminder or warning you issued is overturned, do '''not''' re-add it, or it will be removed immediately, and you may be reprimanded yourself if the administrators feel it is necessary.

==How-to==
This is an example of what your appeal should look like; improperly formatted appeals will be deleted. If you are inexperienced or unsure how to set up this format, simply copy the following template and paste it into the fitting section. Then replace the "[subject]" variables (including the squared brackets) with information to customize your proposal.

<pre>===[Your username here]===
*[Insert link to reminder/warning from your talk page]
====[Your username here]====
*[Insert your comments on why the reminder/warning was unnecessary]
====[The issuer of the warning's username here]====
*[Insert your comments on why the reminder/warning was necessary (this section is for the issuer only)]
----
</pre>

'''Important:''' After posting your appeal, make sure that you use {{tem|AppealNotice}} to inform the issuer that his or her warning/reminder is under dispute.

*I know that edit sniping means performing an action before the person ''meant'' to perform the action can even '''do''' anything. To be honest, I don't think it was obvious enough that Wildgoosespeeder was trying to archive his latest proposal at the time '''''I''''' was trying to archive it as well. Even if it actually was, there were many informal ways he could have addressed the situation, rather than jumping straight to a Reminder.
:<small>P.S.: From now on, when archiving appeals, please use the [[Template:AppealOutcome|AppealOutcome]] template to address the outcome. [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive 46#Expand the "Outcome template" rule to appeal outcomes|This proposal]] dictates it.</small>

I saw the edit conflict dialog with the template already in place linking to my archived proposal. I just got done moving my proposal. Ran into some trouble with the link, so it was taking longer than usual to commit my edit. [{{fullurl:MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive|type=revision&diff=2116499&oldid=2116279}} The edit that the user did was almost 12 hours between edits].
