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!

The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Support: The nomenclature of "first" and "second" here is an editorial deployment on Wikipedia, but has little currency in the actual literature. The "first" war, as it were, is actually generally referred to as the "17 February Revolution", not as a civil war at all. Revolutions, by their nature, often entail a certain degree of civil conflict - take for example the
French revolution - but this does not subsume all other meanings or necessitate a 'civil war' label.

Support. The article should never have been moved to this title in the first place. "Second" isn't strongly associated with this conflict to make a COMMONNAME argument so it's better to use something neutral and non-controversial such as dates.

Support move to Libyan civil war (2014–2020) - Most sources do not capitalize c and w in the civil war word group.

Start date is wrong
The Libyan civil war did not start in 2014 but in 2011, when the Gadaffi regime was overthrown by rebels backed by armed NATO intervention. Ever since then there has been a civil war with rival armed groups, often backed by external state actors and private military companies, vying for power in Libya.
