It is just not good practice to reverse another administrator's actions. That needs to be part of our culture, not some wishy-washy notion that it is OK to wheel war when the other administrator is "wrong".
Amen to that. Sadly (and to name names), a certain administrator whose name begins with "T" and ends with "ony Sidaway" has, in the past, been allowed to (and even congratulated for) reverting other administrators' actions multiple times while the ruling culture derides any criticism of this as "lynching".
My point? Any prohibition against wheel warring must be *objective* and *applied across the board*. Unless every case, without exception, of violating any wheel-warring policy is met with immediate desysopping (pending further review) then the wheel-warring policy will be selectively enforced to enable certain administrators to "win" wheel wars against unfavored administrators.
