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.

Why is this being ignored?--Thadeous Oakley 07:58, 1 October 2010 (BST)

Perhaps it's because none of those pages seem to be protected, so you can edit them yourself. It's also unclear what edits you actually want made -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 09:40 1 October 2010 (BST)

He wants them removed from the disambig SILLY -- LEMON #1 09:53, 1 October 2010 (BST)

As DDR. I'm linking to a protected disambig page, and I'm asking for removal of pages linked on that disambig. I'm missing the rocket-science part of this Boxy. Sorry if it was unclear. --Thadeous Oakley 09:59, 1 October 2010 (BST)

Alright. I didn't address this cause I've been super super lazy lately cause I'm on holidays and have only been checking UDWiki like 5 minutes a day before I find another excuse to forget about it and drink myself stupid. Basically, I'm pretty indifferent but TBH I think removal isn't the best option, as the guy who formatted EVIL the way I did, I'd suggest a NPOV active/inactive roster? -- LEMON #1 10:18, 1 October 2010 (BST)

I'm leaning on disagreeing with you, but I'll think it over first. Except for number 3, Umbrella Inc; it's going down anyway. Thanks for the suggestion though. --Thadeous Oakley 11:48, 1 October 2010 (BST)

Alternatively, Regaining the redirect but having a fairly clear disclaimer at the top of the only active umbrella group page directing to Umbrella (Disambiguous) --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 11:52, 1 October 2010 (BST)

I'm with DDR, just re-arranging the page is better, since the other pages still clearly exist. 15:13, 1 October 2010 (BST)

Why is it even still protected? It's been protected for almost two years, and the conflict died down AGES ago. Thads intentions and frustration here at least demonstrate a point of why he has to ask our permission to fuck about with a page that we, 5 umbrellas and a wiki don't give a shit about. -- LEMON #1 15:36, 1 October 2010 (BST)

I'm already starting to regret bringing this up. Even though the disambig is in desperate need of updating; Most groups are inactive, one's getting deleted which means a red link, and the 2 joke ones really don't belong there. However, if we have to go through another hissy fit to get anything done then consider this request withdrawn. --Thadeous Oakley 15:57, 1 October 2010 (BST)

oh come on we could use some entertainment around here.----sexualharrison ¯\()/¯ 16:00, 1 October 2010 (BST)

Red links can be removed. Anything else should be treated properly, not in some special case just because you ask (and not even nicely might I add). Pages that still exist on the wiki should not be removed from relevant disambiguation pages, otherwise those pages serve no purpose at all. 16:16, 1 October 2010 (BST)

Unless anyone objects I'm going to remove the protection on this page. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 16:19, 1 October 2010 (BST)

Dude, three of those pages are mine. I added 1, 2 and #3 myself. I could legitimately ask for their deletion if I wanted too. This was suppose to be just a formality. --Thadeous Oakley 16:24, 1 October 2010 (BST)

I'd still rather see them on the page, perhaps de-emphasised under the heading of your main group. But plain old removing listings is counter-productive. 16:30, 1 October 2010 (BST)

The Page is Unprotected sort it out between yourselves. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 16:38, 1 October 2010 (BST)

Protections Scheduling Queue

Protection Scheduling requests should be requested in the same general format as Deletions. Votes will occur in the same general manner, and like deletion scheduling requests will be voted on for two (2) weeks, as judged by the initial datestamp. Valid votes are:

• Yea - Approval of Schedule Request
• Nay - Disapproval of Schedule Request

Note: The archive for Scheduled Protections can be found here.
