WP:CHILDPROTECT

Editors who attempt to use Wikipedia to pursue or facilitate inappropriate relationships with children, who advocate inappropriate adult-child relationships, or who identify themselves as pedophiles, will be indefinitely blocked. Reports of users engaging in such conduct should be made to the Arbitration Committee for further action, and should not be the subject of community discussions or requests for comment or consensus. When an editor is blocked for such conduct, the blocking administrator is instructed to use neutral block summaries, and disable the editor's ability to edit their talk page as well as their access to the on-site user email interface. Blocking administrators should inform the blocked user that any appeals or further discussion may only be addressed to the Arbitration Committee at arbcom-llists.wikimedia.org, and then notify the Committee immediately.

Comments posted anywhere in project space that suggest that an editor may be a paedophile must be RevDeletedpromptly, to avoid privacy issues. Concerns should be raised only by email, and questions or accusations raised about a particular editor in project space may give rise to a block for the editor who posted them.
