When a user (who is not blocked or site banned) is subject to an editing limitation by community consensus that prohibits the user from editing in the WikipeidaWikipedia: (or project) namespace, that restriction will be subject to the following exceptions, '''unless''' the statement of the restriction which gained consensus '''explicitly''' says otherwise.

# When an article which the restricted user created or was a major contributor to is nominated for deletion at AfD, the restricted user may edit the AfD page to comment in a civil and non-disruptive manner, and shall not be blocked for such comments.

Line 16 ⟶ 17:

In the case of noticeboard discussions, it seems only fair to give users a chance to defend or explain their actions or rebut comments about them, if possible.

In all cases the incentive of allowing comment in cases where the user may particularly wish to comment can perhaps induce the user to comment in a civil and non-disruptive manner. This might just become a habit, to the benefit of all concerned.
