UDWiki:Administration/Protections/Archive/2011 06
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.

Requested Edits
Bunch of policies
For some reason these didn't have {{Policy Document}} put on them when they were passed:
- UDWiki:Administration/Policy Discussion/Historical Voting Time Limit
- UDWiki:Administration/Policy Discussion/Better Vandal Data (not sure how this one would work, given that only two of the three policies on the page passed.
- UDWiki:Administration/Policy Discussion/Semi-protection
- UDWiki:Administration/Policy Discussion/Update the Wiki Software (2)
The latter wasn't added to any of the pages for passed policies either, I'll check that the others were added, too. Linkthewindow Talk 00:45, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

+ talk page - Scheduled. Only case that might still require discussion is the Izumi one, but I think the January cases about her sock puppets would suffice for that purpose. -- Spiderzed▋ 21:46, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, but I think don't protecting ongoing discussions or vandal cases immediately is right here. Just wait a day or 2 until the heat dies down, but not like in this, in the middle of something. --Thadeous Oakley Talk 22:02, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
While we're at this, also protect:
- UDWiki:Administration/Speedy Deletions/Archive/2010 12
- UDWiki:Administration/Deletions/Archive/December-2010
- UDWiki:Administration/Protections/2010/December

- Done all, left Talk:A/VB archive, make sure we don't forget about it in a few days :( -- LEMON #1 00:49, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
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.
