Protected Page

Shortcut: [[WP:PP WP:PROT]]

Note: pages permanently protected because of visibility or legal reasons are now listed separately at Wikipedia:List of indefinitely protected pages.
Note: pages protected as a {{deletedpage}} or redirect to another page are now listed separately at Wikipedia:List of pages protected against re-creation.
Note: You can request protection and unprotection at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection.

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.

Policy

Do not edit a temporarily protected page except to add a protected page notice.
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.

Procedure

Protect the page, supplying a reason.
Add {{protected}} (or {{vprotected}} for vandalism) to the top of the temporarily protected page and make mention of the protection in the edit summary.
List pages you protect on Wiki: Protected page; if it is protected due to a conflict, you may want to list all user names/IPs involved in the conflict.
Consider encouraging a resolution between the disputing parties.
Remove the protection (while supplying a reason) once the conflict has been resolved.
Remove {{protected}} from the top of an unprotected page and make mention of the removal in the edit summary.

Rationale

See meta:Protected pages considered harmful, meta:edit wars

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.

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

Pages protected only against moves

Please ensure that you add

{{moveprotected}} to the top of a move-locked page. New protections should be added at the bottom of this list.

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.

- I rejected the request myself and nothing has changed since then. Sigh. I don't care if it's stable or not. I'm against protecting pages just to protect them, which is what this feels like. No one has touched them outside of legit editors.

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.

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.

Have placed details of the ban on his userpage and protected page to stop its removal. FearÉIREANN\^(caint)

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

{{Usertalk-sprotect}} to mark such pages. This adds the page to Category:Semi-protected user and user talk pages.

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

{{Usertalk-sprotect}} to mark such pages. This adds the page to Category:Semi-protected user and user talk pages. Please use the

{{vandal}} tag (replacing " " with "_" as appropriate).
