Editing Encyclopedia:Administrators (section)

==== Exceptional circumstances ====
There are a few exceptional circumstances to this general principle. (Note: these are one-way exceptions.)
* '''[[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons|Biographies of living persons]]''' – Material deleted because it contravenes BLP may be re-deleted if reinstated, if it continues to be non-BLP-compliant.
* '''Privacy''' – Personal information deleted under the Foundation's privacy policy may be re-deleted if reinstated.
* '''Emergency''' – In certain situations there may arise an emergency that cannot be adjourned for discussion. An administrator should not claim an emergency unless there is a ''reasonable belief of a present and very serious emergency'' (i.e., reasonable possibility of actual, imminent, serious harm to the project or a person if not acted upon with administrative tools), and should immediately seek to describe and address the matter, but in such a case the action should not usually be reverted (and may be reinstated) until appropriate discussion has taken place.
* '''Page protection in edit warring''' – Reasonable actions undertaken by uninvolved administrators to quell a visible and heated edit war by protecting a contended page should be respected by <strong>all</strong> users, and protection may be reinstated if needed, until it is clear the edit war will not resume or consensus agrees it is appropriate to unprotect.
