Wheel War is a struggle between two or more admins in which they undo another's admin actions — in particular, unblocking or reblocking a user; undeleting or redeleting; or unprotecting and reprotecting an article.
Most editors (and admins) tend to agree that wheel wars are not good. Sometimes, admins are temporarily blocked for wheel warring, but this can result in a wheel war itself if the blocked admin or a friend undoes the block. Temporary desysoping may be used as a measure to deter and halt wheel wars. Wheel warring has been used as grounds for sanctions by the ArbCom in a few cases ([1][2][3][4]), some of which have resulted in users having to re-apply for adminship and others being stripped without that option.

Nothing is more fun that to watch the gods fight.
