Motion: Discretionary Sanctions: Awareness and alerts

The following change to discretionary sanctions awareness requirements has been passed and enacted by motion:

The Awareness section of the discretionary sanctions procedure is modified to the following: No editor may be sanctioned unless they are aware that discretionary sanctions are in force for the area of conflict. An editor is aware if:

They were mentioned by name in the applicable Final Decision; or
They have ever been sanctioned within the area of conflict (and at least one of such sanctions has not been successfully appealed); or
In the last twelve months, the editor has given and/or received an alert for the area of conflict; or
In the last twelve months, the editor has participated in any process about the area of conflict at arbitration requests or arbitration enforcement; or
In the last twelve months, the editor has successfully appealed all their own sanctions relating to the area of conflict; or
They have placed a {{DS/Aware}} template for the area(s) of conflict on their own talk page.
