Forum:Guidelines for dispute resolution between bureaucrats

I am wondering if anyone knows any good forum posts or wikia policy guidelines that a bureaucrat of a wiki could read regarding how to go about resolving disagreements that may arise with other bureaucrats managing the same wiki.

This has happened recently and all I could think was to open a forum discussion asking for community input, hoping that some form of consensus might sway it. Basically it's regarding inclusivity vs. exclusivity of a wiki topic. It regards a genre-based documentation for cartoon/anime characters, and my stance is that we should include both male and female, whereas the other crat only wants females.

Were the URL female-specific I might agree, but there's really nothing in the URL or community name to imply to people that males are excluded in any way, and I don't see the point of limiting it, especially since males and females are often engaged in the genre simultaneously, so it would lead to duplication.

I worry if I were to simply force my view that it could lead to some kind of revert war that could not end, since neither could ban or strip the other of powers. My concern I guess is that I want communities to grow, and for contributors to have a relatively large flexibility in content and to not have to worry about not excluding a scene because it has a male or lacks a female. Such things are the basis of categorization to me, but not exclusion.

But that's kinda besides the point, I am wondering how to prepare to resolve this, especially if there's no community input (the wiki isn't incredibly active, and many contributors are just IP editors making comments) or consensus regarding policy preferences.

Another issue is that the other crat was deleting contributors' articles on the basis that they were not his 'favourite' series. I thought it undue bias and restored them. Listing favourites is something that can easily be done on userspace, and I don't think having them included in category in any way disorganizes anything. +Yc 13:54, August 7, 2012 (UTC)
