Difference between revisions of "Help:Protected Page"

On your journeys across Lylat Wiki, you may come across protected pages, which pages are only allowed to be edited by admins. For more information on who protected the page and for what reason, please see the Talk page of the protected page (accessed by clicking on the "Discussion" tab on the top of said page. Use the talk page to suggest inclusions to the page or even unlocking it to make changes.

The two types of protected pages are in practice. One which isn't marked as protected, and a temporarily protected page. The temporarily protected page will have the '''Protected''' Template at the top. This is usually used to notify disputing factions in an edit war. Admins will be viewing the respective talk page to try and settle the disputes and unlock the page.   

 

To request protection to a page use the '''Protect''' Template. Examples of pages eligible for permanent protection are Archives, Help Content, Site Staff Lists, Site Notices, select templates, etc. In General we do not protect user pages. Staff are not allowed to protect their own userpages for any reason other than rampant vandalism. If an admin does so, it will be unprotected and they will be warned. Insisting on protecting it may result in the loss of administrator rights.
