Here, we have a strict policy about edit wars. If you add something, someone changes or removes it, and you change it back, you're edit warring. If someone changes something, you revert it, and they change it again, they are edit warring. The third edit in the chain is the threshold, meaning any troper repeating (or restoring to functionally the same) any of their previous edits on a page. Edit warring is grounds for suspension for all guilty parties.

Added a pothole to a relevant policy page, and removed Sectionectomy text since the page lock made it unnecessary


'''Exception:''' We generally recognize exceptions to the edit warring policy in cases where the editor is making an article compliant with wiki policies, such as removing a [[YMMV/HomePage YMMV]] example from a primary article, correcting formatting, or reverting vandalism (such as, but not limited to, unexplained deletions). That said, if someone is edit warring already, continually reverting their work won't help even if it's correct. Get the moderators to deal with the situation instead of fighting a pointless battle.
