General sanctions are: Imposed by two processes: Community-authorised sanctions – usually after a discussion at the administrators' noticeboard Arbitration Committee-authorised sanctions – following an arbitration case Of three types: Article probation Discretionary sanctions Revert restrictions Confusingly the ArbCom-authorised sanctions are, at least sometimes, referred to as "discretionary sanctions" as reflected in {{subst:Ds/alert}}, although a Community-authorised sanction can be discretionary in nature. Likewise, the Community-authorised sanctions are, at least sometimes, referred to as "general sanctions" as reflected in {{subst:Gs/alert}} and Category:Wikipedia sanctions templates, although "General sanctions" is also used as the umbrella term for sanctions imposed by both processes. At least so I think. Community-authorised sanctions The community may also impose general sanctions on all editors working in a particular area, usually after a discussion at the administrators' noticeboard. Administrators employing these sanctions must issue appropriate notifications, and log all sanctions imposed, as specified in each case. The issuing of notifications is an informal process whereby an editor that edits a topic area that is subject to general sanctions is made aware that the general sanctions exist. Administrators may not impose sanctions unless an editor has previously been made aware of the existence of these sanctions. Any editor may make another editor aware of the sanctions, and then log the notification, as specified in each case. This notification is not a warning about editor behaviour, and may not be revoked. It is purely informational. Full procedures for issuing notifications mirror those of Arbitration Committee sanctions, as described here. Editors or administrators that wish to overturn an action carried out under the auspices of community-established sanctions must either appeal to the imposing administrator, or gain consensus for an overturning at the administrators' noticeboard. If general sanctions are no longer needed in a topic area, they may be revoked through discussion at the administrators' noticeboard. Likewise, editors wishing to report possible violations of community sanctions should do so at the administrators' noticeboard.

An administrator will be considered "uninvolved" if he or she is not engaged in a current, direct, personal conflict on the topic with the user receiving sanctions (note: enforcing this provision will not be considered to be participation in a dispute).
