This page is for the request of page protection within the Urban Dead wiki. Due to philosophical concerns, the ability to protect pages is restricted to system operators. As such, regular users will need to request a protection from the system operators. For consistency and accountability, system operators also adhere to the guidelines listed here.

Guidelines for Protection Requests

All Protection Requests must contain the following information in order to be considered:

• A link to the page in question. Preferably bolded for visibility.
• A reason for protection. This should be short and to the point.
• A signed datestamp. This can be easily done by adding ~~~~ to the end of your request.

Any protection request that does not contain these three pieces of information will not be considered, and will be removed by a system operator.

Once the protection request has been entered, the request shall remain on this page, where it will be reviewed by a member of the Sysop team, and action taken accordingly. Once action has been taken, the system operator will add a comment including a signed datestamp detailing his course of action, and the request will be moved into the Recent Actions queue, where it will remain for one week. After that week is up, it may be moved to the archive (see navigation box below). If the Protection has been granted, the system operator should place the tag {{protect}} on the page(s) that have been protected.

In the event of a system operator requesting a Protection, all the previous points will apply, excepting that a system operator other than the requestor shall review and take action on the request.

Pages in the Protection Queue may already be scheduled protections. For a list of scheduled protections, see here.

UDWiki:Featured Articles/Good Articles

...and its talk page. Per community consensus, Good Articles are being closed down, and I think protecting the page would prevent any confused persons from attempting to submit new GAs. Thanks! Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 18:02, 28 July 2012 (BST)

6 people on a talk page at the back of the wiki isn't really community consensus. We should probably open a general discussion of some kind or at least provide some kind of link in the news section of the main page for those users that don't browse the recent changes page. There's quite often a few people who turn up to vote on things or discuss things that are put up there but not to comment on random talk pages. I'm going to hold off on these for now because I don't think we've really got any form of community consensus on this.--Shortround }.{ My Contributions 20:53, 28 July 2012 (BST)

Sorry to break it to you, Shorty, but that's probably gonna be as close to community consensus as you'll see. Few people care about GA/FA as seen by the last few GA votes. FA voting is completely skipped these days. All Bob is doing is making changes which reflect how the process has worked for the last few years. It also opens up the door for a ton more Featured Articles. Be BOLD. ~ _{21:27, 28 July 2012 (UTC)}

FA was never voted on. They were just plucked from the GA list, and the decision on which should go when was made by, about 6 people. All FA are, by definition GA's as well, so it makes sense to combine the two cats. --Ross^WHO????ness 23:28, 28 July 2012 (BST)

Just don't delete it. I'm going to move move over the appropriate information to the FA and FA/V pages. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 23:39, 28 July 2012 (BST)

Requested Edits

Removal of GA template

Hello! If someone with an appropriate level of sysopitude could remove the {{GA}} template from Battle of Blackmore, Blackmore 4(04) and First Siege of Caiger Mall, that would be awesome. Good Articles are being closed down, but I can't remove the GA template from the three protected articles. Thanks! Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 17:59, 28 July 2012 (BST)
