			{{KidsIntro\|This page explains how decisions get made before someone gets in trouble. Many people check the problem first - like a team member, a manager, and a lawyer. No one person decides alone. Different types of problems need different numbers of checks.}}
			{{ExpertIntro\|We are heading towards formalized multi-tier governance structures for community moderation. This hypothesis proposes that enforcement legitimacy emerges through cascading review mechanisms, where action severity correlates with review depth. The emerging trend suggests calibrated oversight - child protection and global bans require maximal review chains, while conduct warnings employ streamlined procedures, reflecting risk-proportional governance models.}}

Migrate Office actions procedures from Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki (CC BY-SA 4.0), adapted for WikiDeal (proposal, to be adopted)

New page

''This is a draft version. Source: adapted '''notably''' from the Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki, https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Policy:Office_actions/procedures (CC BY-SA 4.0), with changes. Status: proposal, to be adopted. See the [[Policies/en/Disclaimer|detailed disclaimer]].''

'''In simple words:''' this page shows, step by step, who would check what before an [[Policies/en/Office-Actions-Policy|office action]] is taken. No single person could decide alone: each action would go through several levels of review. The tables below list the baseline steps for each type of action.

__TOC__

= Office actions procedures =

In order for an office action to be considered and enforced, the following baseline steps would be involved, as relevant to the requested [[Policies/en/Office-Actions-Policy|office action]]. This list is not exhaustive; steps listed here may be expanded to include more steps or removed entirely depending on the type of office action requested. This baseline list of steps is published in the spirit of transparency.

The review roles named below (team member, manager, director, department chief, communications, legal, executive direction) are those of the source organization. They are kept as an indicative review chain: at adoption, they would be mapped to the actual structure of the [https://www.ynternet.org Ynternet.org Foundation] and of the future WikiDeal governance bodies. All requests would be received through info@wikideal.net and routed internally.
