Editors engaging in uncivil behavior may be officially warned by any sysop to cease, even if the sysop is the target of that incivility. Warnings may be issued after any uncivil behavior, but only one warning may be issued per instance of incivility.
When giving a warning, the sysop must indicate on the editor's Talk page that they are being given an '''official''' warning and which number warning it is (e.g., first, second). The sysop should also explicitly point out which behavior is being considered uncivil. (See and use [[Template:Warning]] and [[Template:Warning2]] for warning texts.)
'''Three strike rule:''' After two official warnings have been issued, the third instance of uncivil behavior will result in a one week ban on editing. Once an editor is banned, all further action will be conducted with a '''one strike rule'''—instead of being warned, the editor will be banned again for one week upon engaging in uncivil behavior.
