Template:Protection templates

Administrators have the ability to "protect" pages or images so that they cannot be modified except by other admins (the link "Edit this page" is replaced by a link "View source" when viewed by non-admins). This ability is only to be used in limited circumstances.

Admins must not protect pages they are actively engaged in editing, except in the case of simple vandalism.

Articles linked from the main page should NOT be protected (full or semi) except to clean up vandalism. Protection should be kept to 10-15 minutes in these cases.

[edit]

Policy

  1. Do not edit a temporarily protected page except to add a protected page notice.
  2. Do not protect a page on which you are involved in an edit dispute (Category:Conflicts).

See Wikipedia:Protection policy for more detailed advice and the purpose of protected pages.

[edit]

Procedure

  1. Protect the page, supplying a reason.
  2. Add {{protected}} (or {{vprotected}} for vandalism) to the top of the temporarily protected page and make mention of the protection in the edit summary.
  3. List pages you protect on Wikipedia:Protected page; if it is protected due to a conflict, you may want to list all user names/IPs involved in the conflict.
    Please use {{article|ARTICLE NAME}} when listing a page at Wikipedia:Protected page, where ARTICLE NAME is the article or page you wish to protect.
  4. Consider encouraging a resolution between the disputing parties.
  5. Remove the protection (while supplying a reason) once the conflict has been resolved.
  6. Remove {{protected}} from the top of an unprotected page and make mention of the removal in the edit summary.

Instructions

If you protect a page, or find a protected page not listed here, please add it below, to the appropriate sections. Please also add a short description of ten words or less indicating why you protected it. If you need to say more, discuss on the talk page of the page you protected. Also see the protection log for recent unprotections, which replaces the manual list of recently unprotected pages. The {{protected}} header automatically adds Category:Protected to the page, adding it to the Category's listing.

[edit]

Pages protected due to WP:OFFICE guidelines

Per Jimbo Wales, some articles are being protected by User:Danny due to complaints at Wikimedia's office. Please do not unprotect these without asking Danny first.

[edit]

Pages protected only against moves

Please ensure that you add Template:Tl to the top of a move-locked page. New protections should be added at the bottom of this list. Please use {{Non-article|Type|NAME}} or {{article|NAME}} to list pages here.

[edit]

Pages protected due to edit wars or vandalism

This list always needs pruning. Wikipedia works perfectly fine on a protection cycle of less than one week. Please examine older listings and unprotect if at all possible. If you add an article here, please remember to check the talk page frequently, and always consider removing protection as soon as possible.

  • Template:Ln One editor making repeated tiny edits to heavily used template. Have left note on editor's page, suggesting he needs to work on a copy in the sandbox, rather than on the template itself. Should think this only needs to be a brief protection. 00:42, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Template:Ln: Edit war on whether to link to a list of times the admin has been blocked. — FREAK OF NURxTURE ([[[Template:Fullurl:User talk:Freakofnurture]] TALK]) 03:56, Jan. 8, 2006
  • Template:Ln: Edit war on the icon: flag or map. The map doesn't look right, but the flag is a problem for political reasons. For now, it has no icon - hopefully a equitable solution will be found soon, but the temperature is more than a little warm on the talk page. Grutness...wha? 05:15, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Image:Turks2.jpg - edit war on Turkish people spilled over to this image. howcheng {chat} 00:35, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Image:Jyllands-Posten Muhammad drawings.jpg - a hugely controversial image undergoing repeated vandalism from multiple sources. This will almost certainly need to be protected for a long time - perhaps permanently, given the degree of animosity involved. -- ChrisO 21:47, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit]

Images protected while on the Main Page

Images on the main page often become the target of vandalism, particularly being overwritten with shock site images, which harms the credibility of the project due to that page's extreme visibility. Also, it takes some time for sysops to determine what caused a main page change. As such, images have begun to be protected during their time there, and this has become a de facto policy since the second or third week of November 2004.

In order to keep track of these images, please add {{ProtectedMainPageImage}} to them. This will add the image to Category:Protected main page images. There are typically 4 to 5 images on the main page, although some of them may be from the Wikicommons.

[edit]

Protected user pages

User pages sometimes become targets for vandalism, and may be protected upon request of the user associated with the page if this is a serious problem. Clear evidence can be seen from a user's history of the page, and their history from their discussion page.

By software configuration, script files (*.js) and stylesheets (*.css) in user spaces are protected such that only the user or an administrator can edit it.

User talk pages: Registered users

User talk pages should only be protected in cases of persistent vandalism, and then only for as brief a period as possible. Please use the template Template:Tl to mark such pages. This adds the page to Category:Semi-protected user and user talk pages. If the vandalism is by the user himself/herself, use the Template:Tl tag; otherwise, use the Template:Tl tag.

User talk pages: Anonymous users

Talk pages of anonymous users should generally only be semi-protected. This prevents a vandal from blanking warnings etc., but still allows non-admin RC patrollers to issue warnings on this page. Please use the template Template:Tl to mark such pages. This adds the page to Category:Semi-protected user and user talk pages. Please use the Template:Tl tag (replacing " " with "_" as appropriate). Admins, please remember to check back periodically and unprotect talk pages as blocks expire.

Protected user subpages and boilerplates

Some users have created boilerplate pages in their user namespace and protected them from editing. The appropriateness of doing this is disputed.
