- Wikipedia:Blocking policy
- Added subsection, WP:BLOCK#Self-requested blocks: "Sometimes people request that their account be blocked, for example to enforce a wikibreak. Typically, such requests are refused. There is a JavaScript-based "wikibreak enforcer" which may be used instead."
- Wikipedia:Bot policy
- In WP:BOTPOL#Bots with administrative rights, removed: "Adminbots running from their owners' main accounts at the time of this policy's adoption are also covered by the policy.

Those adminbots may continue running from their masters' accounts until their BRFAs close."
