Requests for Comment/Endorsement of Meta conventions

Initiator comment: The purpose of this Request for Comment aimed at Meta is to codify certain principles and conventions that have been applied here. The reason why this codification is necessary is because of the disputes that have taken place at different times and in different places about whether these rules are indeed 'convention' or not. To some (including myself) these rules seem logical and as some would say a no-brainer but clearly the necessity for this Request for Comment arises because some others do not think that these rules are obvious or logical and contest their very existence. In addition to these rules I wish to invite all users that are part of the Meta community to add any proposals for existing conventions (or not) that they think should become official codified Meta policies for clarity reasons. I would ask anyone who has any questions to either reply here or to contact me via my talk page. Please do also not hesitate to edit or change the wording proposed above if you think you are able to make it more clear and comprehensible. --DeeM28 (talk) 17:27, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

Proposal 1: Notices and warnings on talkpages

 * A user who is warned or otherwise admonished by an administrator or Steward may 'not remove the thread from the relevant talk page. The thread may be archived (but not removed)but this action should not be done no earlier than two weeks after the last comment on the thread.

Proposal 2.1: Editing other users' messages

 * Messages posted by other users should not be altered without their prior consent. This only affects the alteration of messages and does not affect the right to remove, revert or undo posts as currently exists.

Proposal 2.2: ALTERNATIVE #1
(If a less strict version of Proposal 2.1 is desired add it here)

Proposal 3: Editing other users' userpages

 * Other users' userpages should not generally be edited without prior consent. This may exceptionally be done to correct a misleading statement (i.e. an assertion that one has rights that they do not in fact possess) or to remove content that violates the Code of Conduct or is otherwise generally considered to be offensive or inappropriate for a userpage.

Proposal 4: Edit warring

 * Edit warring is not permitted on Meta (including on one's own talkpage). The 3 revert rule as described on Wikipedia is not applicable on Meta, and the level of sanction for edit warring is to be determined by a Meta administrator depending on the circumstances.
