WP:Update/1/Enforcement policy changes during February 2009

Wikipedia:Arbitration policy
Policy on accepting cases changed to "The request must have four net votes to accept, or have an absolute majority of arbitrators voting to accept."

Wikipedia:Banning policy
Linked "threats" to Wikipedia:No legal threats; it's unclear whether this changes the meaning.

Wikipedia:Blocking policy
Added to WP:BLOCK#Block reviews: "If a user claims they wish to contribute constructively but there are doubts as to their sincerity, the {{tl|2nd chance}} template can be used to allow them to demonstrate how they will contribute to the encyclopedia should their unblock request be granted."

Wikipedia:Consensus
Changed WP:CON#Purpose of consensus substantially
Added See also links to the [http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?back=CategoryConflict Conflict] and [http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?back=CategoryConsensus Consensus] categories on MeatBall Wiki.

Wikipedia:Open proxies
Added: {{main|Wikipedia:Block#Open_or_anonymous_proxies}} [not a typical use of the "main" template]
Changed "currently blocked" to "often blocked" in the Blocking of Wikipedia in mainland China link

Wikipedia:Protection policy
Added to "User talk pages are usually not semi-protected": "except in response to severe or continued vandalism"
Added after "protection should not be considered an endorsement of the current name": "An obvious exception to this rule is when pages are protected due to page move vandalism."
