3RR question[edit]

Does 3RR apply on my user and talk page, or only in article space? (Example: Let's say an IP vandalizes my userpage, hypothetically, more than three times, would I violate 3RR?) If you reply here, please ping me. — thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 14:08, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

From the project page: "Reverting edits in one's own user page is rarely edit warring. Traditionally, Wikipedia offers wide latitude to users to manage their user space as they see fit." There's a link with more information provided there as well. DonIago (talk) 15:36, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, reverting vandalism is already exempt per WP:3RRNO. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 15:40, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
