Introduction to contentious topics

[edit]

You have recently edited a page related to the region of South Asia (India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal), broadly construed, including but not limited to history, politics, ethnicity, and social groups, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia's norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

Additionally, you must be logged in, have 500 edits, and have an account age of 30 days in order to make edits related to two subtopics: (1) Indian military history, or (2) caste-related topics in South Asia.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Hi I am reading various links you gave. Please guide me if I am not allowed to make changes anywhere I have already done. Do the page have notice which I should look to confirm if I am allowed to make changes? NicoR8 (talk) 14:43, 13 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

A belated welcome!

The welcome may be belated, but the cookies are still warm!

Hi there! Thank you so much for the warm welcome with the best cookies! I am finding my way around and came across some categories for fixing issues that are marked with notices. So I am fixing some of those issues. I am also marking links I find useful on my home page. Do you have recommendations what else I can explore? NicoR8 (talk) 17:56, 18 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
The newcomer tasks are a decent starting point if there's not a particular topic area you find yourself drawn to.
Your edits at Muthuswami Dikshitar seem to primarily be copyedits. If that's a task you're interested in focusing on, I'd like to point you towards the Guild of Copy Editors. Otherwise, I don't think I have much I personally could suggest past the links in the template above. Happy editing :) ᴸᵃᶠᶠʸTaffer💬(they/she) 17:59, 18 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much again. While I find my way around, I can stick to primarily copyedits and fixing notices for promotional and other issues. I will also explore your suggestion and other links you have given in the template. NicoR8 (talk) 18:04, 18 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Help me!
