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.

these pages no longer need to be protected, and there might by some typos there which regular users could fix without having to require it here. --hagnat 17:53, 28 July 2011 (BST)

Hagnat, as much as I'd love to unprotect them, looking at the original reason behind protection, it was so that you couldn't edit them any more. :p I feel like I'm going to have to deny this request, but I'll happily wait for a second sysop opinion.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 10:52, 29 July 2011 (BST)

Check the talk page, there was discussion on the subject. I wouldnt ask this page to be unprotected so i could edit it *now*... my agendas are not that long, ya know ? --hagnat 12:50, 29 July 2011 (BST)

Meh. SA said in the protection case that "ordinary users shouldn't be able to edit guidelines at any time" and I'm agreeing with him on that at the moment. Convince me otherwise.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 13:26, 29 July 2011 (BST)

U have a set of guidelines written by a portuguese speaking clown, prolly full of typos that any other user should be able to fix. If yer worried someome might change the guidelines, add it to your watchlist and simply revert both the edit and the protection if that happens. --hagnat 13:49, 29 July 2011 (BST)

Scheduled. I had hoped an edit note when I moved it on A/PD would get attention, but apparently not. Also, don't forget to add the protection template, and someone might want to go through the last few cycled withdrawn or failed policies to add that template where it's missing. —Aichon— 09:20, 25 July 2011 (BST)

Done all of the above.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk | Contribs} 00:41, 28 July 2011 (BST)

so do think we can protect this page? so morons don't keep posting on it. as they are too stupid to read the notice at the top or sign the retarded post--User:Sexualharrison22:32, 24 July 2011 (bst)

Don't see why. I enjoy fools as much as the next person. --Rosslessness 22:39, 24 July 2011 (BST)

curse you ross. yeh I wrote before i remembered how easy it is to revert.--User:Sexualharrison23:17, 24 July 2011 (bst)

What Ross says. I also saw no need to undo that particular comment. -- Spiderzed█ 23:23, 24 July 2011 (BST)

Yeah he was just curious about something, never hurt anyone... sorta -- ϑ^anceϑ^anceℜ^evolution 01:24, 25 July 2011 (BST)

semiprotected as an hour long remedy for recent spamming. --Rosslessness 23:16, 19 July 2011 (BST)

As page owner, I am perfectly happy with this move. -- Spiderzed█ 23:20, 19 July 2011 (BST)

Cheers. Seems to be covered under UDWiki:Administration/Policy Discussion/Semi-protection, but I can't remember ever using it before. --Rosslessness 23:23, 19 July 2011 (BST)

Have made it two days now. -- Spiderzed█ 11:29, 20 July 2011 (BST)

Made admin template for the cause if you're interested :D -- ϑ^anceϑ^anceℜ^evolution 02:49, 20 July 2011 (BST)

Semi protection requested to curtail recent spamming before it starts. Thanks. A month should do it. --Rosslessness 20:41, 19 July 2011 (BST)

Just re-did the header and the request as the large one was making an ugly contents page above. -- ϑ^anceϑ^anceℜ^evolution 02:36, 20 July 2011 (BST)
