I instinctively recoil from the instruction creep, but the last few days
suggests it may well be necessary.
However:
Any given use of administrative powers cannot be
reverted or
reversed by another admin unless the issue is brought to adequate
discussion.
This disturbs me a bit. I can think of many legitimate examples where an
admin might reverse another admin's action without discussion. I did it
just a couple of days ago, for instance, where I undeleted an article
that had been incorrectly tagged for speedying and then deleted. I
didn't discuss this with the deleting admin (I didn't think it needed
discussing, frankly; I did leave a courtesy note explaining what I'd
done on his talk page). Was this 'wheel warring'? Under your policy it
would get me desysopped.
Cheers,
