Wikipedia:Lists of protected pages

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Anárion (talk | contribs) at 23:26, 28 August 2004 (Pages protected due to edit wars or vandalism: As per m:the wrong version...). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Administrators have the ability to "protect" pages or images such that they cannot be modified except by other admins. This ability is only to be used in limited circumstances.

Policy

  1. Do not edit a temporarily protected page except to add a protected page notice.
  2. Do not protect a page you are involved in an edit dispute over.
  3. Protect the page supplying a reason
  4. Add {{protected}} (or {{vprotected}} for vandalism) to the top of the temporarily protected page and make mention of the protection in the edit summary.
  5. 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.
  6. Consider encouraging a resolution between the disputing parties.
  7. Remove the protection (while supplying a reason) once the conflict has been resolved
  8. Remove {{protected}} from the top of an unprotected page and make mention of the removal in the edit summary.

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

Rationale

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

Viewing the source of a protected page

To view the source of e.g. Main Page, use one of the following:

The latter also gives metadata (see m:page metadata) about the last edit. It is an XML file; tags are coded in its source, and plainly shown when rendered by the browser. However, blank lines in the wikisource are shown in the xml-source, but not in the rendering.

List of protected pages

If you protect a page, or find a protected page not listed here, please add it to this list. 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 Wikipedia: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.

Semi-permanently protected (system administration reasons)

The following pages are automatically generated and are usually protected for system administration reasons:


User pages

User pages and their subpages are frequently targets for vandalism, and may be protected upon request of the user associated with the page if there is a history of vandalism. Add protected user pages to this list. User pages should not be protected unless there is a history of vandalism, and should be unprotected as soon as practicable -- see Wikipedia:User page for more.

  1. User:Deb
  2. User:Kenneð
  3. User:Montrealais
  4. User:Roozbeh
  5. User:WhisperToMe

User talk pages

User talk pages should only be protected in cases of persistent vandalism, and then only for as brief a period as possible.

User talk pages presently protected include:

(none)

Pages protected due to edit wars or vandalism

latest at bottom

  • Israel Shahak - edit war RK, Zero and DanKeshet, in mediation so don't unprotect please
  • Menachem Mendel Schneerson - link spamming and paragraph removal by a whole array of new users and anons who feel this rabbi was the Messiah. Will unprotect in a week (2/9/2004) to gauge if the attack is over yet. JFW | T@lk 15:39, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Jew protected due to an edit war over a link to a Neo-nazi site lited under Criticism section. BCorr|Брайен 17:42, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Unit 731. Continual reverts over accuracy of photo, text cut and pasted to Talk page. Fuzheado 01:56, 23 Aug 2004
  • Acronym, revert war. -- Grunt (talk) 23:15, 2004 Aug 28 (UTC)
    • Actually a disagreement over wether or not to use a broad definition of acronym, which one user is solving by reverting rather than discussing. See also WP:RFC. As per m:The wrong version, I contest that the current state is "the wrong version" as it propagates the broad definition, and this edit has deleted info from the page.
