What is the name of the Wikipedia policy that prohibits legal threats?

The Wikipedia policy that prohibits legal threats is called “No legal threats.”

The policy asks editors not to threaten lawsuits, report other contributors to authorities, or use legal action as leverage during content disputes. Such threats can damage the collaborative environment and make it difficult for volunteers to discuss edits openly and resolve disagreements on the site.

The rule does not prevent people from pursuing legitimate legal remedies when necessary. Instead, it explains that editors who make legal threats may be blocked from editing while the matter is unresolved. Wikipedia also provides internal processes for handling disagreements, including article talk pages, dispute resolution, administrator intervention, and formal community discussions.

A common mix-up is “No personal attacks,” which prohibits insulting or targeting fellow editors but does not specifically concern lawsuits or legal action. “Civility” is a broader behavioral guideline, while “Dispute resolution” describes ways to settle editorial disagreements. “No legal threats” is the policy whose title directly identifies its subject.
