==== Special situations ====
In some situations, the usual policy for reversing another administrator's action does not apply:
* '''Blocks made by the Arbitration Committee:''' Blocks authorized by the Arbitration Committee must include a clear indication of their source, such as "For the Arbitration Committee", "Appeal is only to the Arbitration Committee", or "{{t|ArbComBlock}}". Administrators must only place, reduce, or remove such blocks with the prior, written consent of the committee. (See also: {{Section link|Wikipedia:Arbitration/Policy#Appeal of decisions}}.)
* '''CheckUser blocks:''' Blocks designated as "CheckUser blocks" (that is, blocks relying on confidential checkuser findings) may not be reversed by administrators who do not have access to the CheckUser permission. Appeal of these blocks may be made to the [[WP:UTRS|Unblock Ticket Requests System]] (which has a designated "checkuser" area) or to the Arbitration Committee. Administrators were reminded [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Noticeboard/Archive 6#Statement on checkuser blocks|in July 2010]] that they may not reverse CheckUser blocks without prior consent from the committee or a checkuser.
* '''Oversight blocks:''' Blocks designated as "Oversight blocks" (that is, blocks relying on information that has been suppressed) may not be reversed by administrators who do not have access to the oversight permission. The Arbitration Committee ruled [[Special:Permalink/542990142#Oversight-related blocks|in March 2013]] that oversight blocks cannot be reversed without prior consent from the committee or an oversighter.
