Elite Dangerous Wiki:Dispute

Whenever there is a dispute between users over structural or factual changes of an article page, the contents in question should be discussed on the affected article's talk page, so all involved editors can follow the same discussion. Do not repeatedly revert a disputed change. Discuss the wording and evidence on the article talk page, following Project:Community standards and Project:Consensus.

When an article is under a factual dispute, the {{Disputed}} template should be added at the very top of the article and link to the relevant talk-page section. Identify the disputed statement, present the sources or reproducible tests, and propose wording that reflects the evidence. Separate a factual disagreement from a difference in writing style.

When an article falls under a structural dispute, the article should not include a template, but the discussion should still take place.

While discussion continues

Allow the response time required by Project:User Conduct Rules. Keep the discussion in one place and link it from any notice. Editors may still correct unrelated mistakes, improve references and remove harmful private information; a dispute notice does not freeze the whole article. Ask an uninvolved administrator to review persistent disruption or a request for protection. Administrators should not use protection to endorse their preferred version.

Record the agreed wording or the reason for no change, then remove resolved notices. Follow Project:Deletion policy if removal of the whole page is proposed.
