	If a moderator has a disagreement with another moderator's actions, it is recommended that a discussion be started on that ~~admin~~'s talk page: ask why the first moderator chose that course of action, and point out what other alternatives there may have been (in particular whether any policies apply). If the first moderator agrees, it should be left up to the first ~~admin~~ to undo their own actions. If there is no existing policy covering the situation, or the policy is ambiguous, a more general discussion involving the rest of the community may be needed to try to establish an appropriate policy.
