Allpedia:Protection

Protection on Allpedia is when an administrator acts under consensus to protect a page. Pages are usually requested to be protected but if a page needs to be protected due to high risk of vandalism then an administrator may do so. Pages may be requested to be protected at Request for Page Protection. Please do not request that a page be protected for no reason such as because you created it.

Types of Protection

 * Protected - Only logged in users may edit it. Only for use when a page is consistently vandalized by IP's.
 * Semi-Protected - Only autoconfirmed users may edit it. May be used when a page is vandalized by IP's and/or logged in users.
 * Un-Protected - Anyone may edit it. Use for when a page does not need to be protected.
 * Full-Protected - Only administrators may edit it. Use for when a page experiences major vandalism or for pages that only administrators need to edit.
 * Move-Protected - Depends on the current protection and which user group may edit it. Use for when a page is moved for no reason.
 * Create-Protected - Only administrators can create it. Use for when a page is deleted but keeps getting recreated.
