{{cot|Information for administrators processing requests}}

Thank you for participating in this area. AE works best if there are a variety of admins bringing their expertise to each case. There is no expectation to comment on every case, and the Arbitration Committee (ArbCom) thanks all admins for whatever time they can give.

:* If you participate on this page you should be prepared to mete out potentially long term bans and you should expect reactive behavior from those banned.

:*Administrators who consistently make questionable enforcement administrative actions, or whose actions are consistently overturned by community or Arbitration Committee discussions may be asked to cease performing such activities or be formally restricted from taking such activities.

A couple of reminders:

:* The enforcement measures in arbitration cases should be construed liberally in order to protect Wikipedia and keep it running efficiently. Not all enforcement requests will show behavior restricted by ArbCom. It may, however, violate other Wikipedia policies and guidelines which you may use administrative discretion to deal with.

:* More than one side in a dispute may have Arbitration Committee conduct rulings applicable to them.

* Before commenting, please familiarise yourself with the referenced ArbCom case. Please also read all the evidence (including diffs) presented in the AE request.

:* Once an issue is resolved, enclose it between {{tl|hat}} and {{tl|hab}} tags, after which a bot should archive it in 7 days.

:* When a request widens to include editors beyond the initial request, these editors must be notified and the notifications recorded in the same way as for the initial editor against whom sanctions were requested. Where some part of the outcome is clear, a partial close may be implemented and noted underas ''"Result concerning X''".

:* You can use the templates {{tl|uw-aeblock}} (for blocks) or {{tl|AE sanction}} (for other contentious topic restrictions) to give notice of sanctions on user talk pages.
