Editors who violate any listed restrictions may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.
An editor must be aware before they can be sanctioned.
With respect to any reverting restrictions:
Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions. In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as clear vandalism.
Clear vandalism of any origin may be reverted without restriction.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.
If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. Remember: When in doubt, don't revert!

I did a major overhaul of the background/timeline section recently, but all the individuals in the 'people' section are just thrown into one hodge-podge mix currently. Could someone who understands the situation better than I please organise them somehow, perhaps by faction?--ERAGON (talk) 22:31, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The sections on 'Islamic State' and 'al-Qaeda and allies' include manually set opening and closing parentheses (). One top-level manually-set closing parenthesis for 'al-Qaeda+' seems to be missing, which illustrates the risk in doing this manually.
Is there any reason not to use
top-level 1
next-level 1.a
1.b
1.b.1
1.b.2
1.c
where the template rules set up all the parentheses automatically, so that this is rendered as top-level 1 (next-level 1.a dot 1.b (1.b.1 dot 1.b.2) dot 1.c)?
Independently, whether HTS is still "part of" al-Nusra in the Syrian context seems rather doubtful, except in the sense of a historical tree of which group emerged from which.
A related question is whether there is any sense in writing the relation between the groups as a hierarchy. Given that we do not have any guarantee of having accurate up-to-date sources for all of the relations between these groups, it's quite possible that the reliably sourced relations are inconsistent in the Venn diagram sense.

al-Qaeda + affiliates: This list is much longer, so this will require someone to do a lot more work. Currently there are 8 opening parentheses ( and 7 closing parentheses ). My speculation, without checking, is that the missing closing parenthesis should go immediately after Jaysh Muhammad in Bilad al-Sham, and then the al-Nusra Front line can be converted to ** and *** entries to get automatic parentheses.
