Wikipedia:General sanctions/South Asian social groups

This Wikipedia page has been superseded by Wikipedia:Contentious topics/South Asia (since July 2025) and is retained primarily for historical reference.

Notes:

References in arbitration remedies to "GSCASTE" should be read as referring to social groups, explicitly including caste associations and political parties related to India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal.
Sanctions that would previously have been logged here should now be logged at WP:AELOG#SA.
All sanctions previously imposed under GSCASTE remain in force. In place of the original appeals rules, they may be modified or appealed under the same terms as Wikipedia:Contentious topics § Appeals and amendments. Users appealing such a legacy sanction should list "GS/CASTE" as the mechanism they were sanctioned under.

Community discussions

A 2012 community discussion at the administrators' noticeboard placed all pages about social groups, explicitly including caste associations and political parties related to India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal under community discretionary sanctions.

Subsequent enforcement tended to treat this sanction more akin to the "related to X, broadly construed" wording seen in most other sanctions. A 2023 discussion at the administrators' noticeboard found no objection to formalizing existing de facto practice, expanding the sanctions' scope to pages related to South Asian social groups, broadly construed.

Remedies

Sanctions imposed cannot be undone by another administrator without approval of the sanctioning administrator or an appeal at the administrators' noticeboard. Pages may be tagged with {{Gs/talk notice|sasg}}, which can be used to indicate that articles are within the scope of these sanctions. Prior to being sanctioned, editors can be notified of these sanctions with the {{subst:Gs/alert|sasg}} template. Use the {{subst:Community sanction}} template when imposing sanctions. For blocks, use {{subst:Uw-csblock}}.

The standard set of discretionary sanctions are imposed on all pages related to social groups, broadly construed—be they castes, communities, tribes, clans, kootams, gotras, etc., and explicitly including caste associations and political parties—related to India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal. This includes biographies that mention subjects' membership in such groups.

Log of administrative actions

Log blocks, topic bans or other administrative actions here. Include diff of username, action-date-time-duration etc, diffs of any evidence, administrator user name.
Admins: Please move the sanction to the bottom of the expired section once it has expired.
