Wikipedia:No ableism

Please, don't be ableist, or in the other words: don't add any ableist comments about editors who have physical, mental, or intellectual disabilities. Wikipedia has many users who have certain disorders like autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, or OCD. Anyone, whether an administrator or not, should respect others.

This is an essay on the Wikipedia:Disruptive editing guideline and Wikipedia:Civility policy. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article or a Wikipedia policy, as it has not been reviewed by the community.

This page in a nutshell: Do not be ableist toward editors who have physical, mental, or intellectual disabilities.

This essay encourages editors to stay calm, respectful and not to add ableist comments.

A new contributor, for example someone with autism, may not understand or interpret an issue or a warning on their user talk page as intended. You should help such editors by explaining patiently. Ignoring or failing to explain can prevent them from understanding. Editors who have physical, mental, or intellectual disabilities are also important Wikipedia contributors. These editors should be asked to read and follow our policies and guidelines. Therefore, we strongly recommend you not to be ableist toward editors who have physical, mental, or intellectual disabilities.
