| {{u|Amisom}} is unblocked under the following binding unblock conditions:

• An indefinite requirement to put all future page creations for the mainspace through the WP:AFC process instead
• An indefinite prohibition of using offline or paywalled sources for the addition or restoration of any material to existing mainspace pages. If you add a citation to an existing mainspace page, it has to contain a link to an easily accessible Internet source.
• An indefinite prohibition of re-adding material that you had originally added, and that has afterwards been removed by someone else for verifiability or neutrality concerns. You are welcome to create a discussion on the article's talk page if this happens, but you must not re-add the material if other users have expressed disagreement about its inclusion. If a consensus for inclusion is reached, someone else can re-add the material on your behalf. This is a much stricter interpretation of the edit warring policy than WP:3RR, and violating this restriction is defined as edit warring.

| Trainrobber66 indef block is reduced to a partial block and the user is now subject to the following conditions:

1. Trainrobber66 is prohibited from making edits to the article namespace. This is enforced by a reduction of their indefinite block to a partial block that renders them unable to edit articles in the mainspace. Trainrobber66 is permitted to create drafts and is required to use the articles for creation process when doing so. This means that Trainrobber66 can create drafts and submit them for evaluation, but will not be able to edit the mainspace directly.
2. Trainrobber66 is prohibited from pinging an editor more than once every twenty-four hours regarding the same subject, broadly construed. This means that Trainrobber66 should not post messages tagging people by their username more than once per twenty-four hours about the same sort of thing. This limit applies even if Trainrobber66 is directly replying to the user.
3. Trainrobber66 is subject to an indefinite one revert restriction; they may not make more than one revert on one page every twenty-four hours, on pain of being blocked.
4. {{stronggood|Expired on 2024-07-19}} Trainrobber66 is subject to civility probation for six months. This means that if they engage in name calling, are overtly rude, or are otherwise uncivil, any administrator may block them without further warning. Any blocks made pursuant to this probation will reset the six-month timer, which would restart at the time when such a block expires.

These conditions may be appealed to the administrator's noticeboard six months from the timestamp in the unblocking administrator's signature.

1. An indefinite topic ban from Wikipedia: and Wikipedia talk: spaces, broadly construed, with the following exceptions, which are to be narrowly construed:
2. * The standard exceptions to bans.
3. * Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation, solely for the purpose of asking for advice about accepting, declining, or rejecting a draft submitted through the AFC process.
4. * Deletion discussions or deletion reviews.
5. * Requesting administrator attention at venues such as WP:AIV, WP:ANI, and WP:UAA.
6. * Participating in, but not starting, a discussion where they are directly involved in a discrete and preexisting dispute (e.g., an editing conflict that is brought to WP:RSN), or are a named party to a dispute (e.g., at WP:DRN).
7. An indefinite topic ban from requesting additional permissions, broadly construed, regardless of namespace.

For the avoidance of doubt, this conditional unblock does not affect ToadetteEdit's current topic ban from closing discussions (in any namespace).

These topic bans may be loosened, such as by broadening the exceptions, or repealed entirely, by any uninvolved administrator or by community consensus at WP:AN, after at least six months have passed.
