===Historical Groups Protection amendment===

'''Current Guideline''': "Groups that are listed in [[:Category:Historical Groups]], and their talk pages."

'''Proposal:''' Remove "talk pages" from the scheduled protection.

I don't see much reason for talk pages of historical groups to also be protected. In many instances we are just protecting a page that has no recent content on it (the 'historical' content has already been archived, such as with recent additions [[MCM]]) and it also takes away the opportunity for members of the community to actually leave messages to the group, perhaps with memories, or any kind of communication request that still may be valid despite the group being historical.

It also makes it impossible for non-sysops to do any janitorial notifications or ark work (eg. my post on MCM's [[Talk:Malton College of Medicine|current talk page]]).

I don't see the reasons for protection outweighing the benefits of unprotecting group talk pages. Please let me know what your thoughts are, or vote accordingly.

#A quick note too: The other scheduled protection for Historical Group's sister category, Historical Events, was [[UDWiki:Administration/Protections/Scheduling/Archive#Historical_Events|specifically designed]] in 2009 to not include protection on the talk page. No issue has come of that choice in the past 10 years so I'd be surprised if issues arise with this. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig5}} 03:08, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

===Closed Open Discussions===
[[UDWiki:Open Discussion|Open discussions]] have always remained unprotected after discussion ends, to ensure the topic is always open for people to provide input.

However, I feel as more time passes, the more reason we should probably protect [[UDWiki:Open_Discussion/Archive |extremely old open discussions]] that haven't been edited in years. I feel they represent an important historic conversation that should serve its purpose as an archive. I propose the following to become a Scheduled Protection:

'''Inactive Open Discussions''' - Open Discussions that have had had no discussion for 6 months will be protected.

===Concluded Polls===
Polls which are held through [[UDWiki:Poll]] and have been concluded. Conclusion is defined as the point at which the author of the poll posts their conclusions (this should happen shortly after the poll closes). The talk page of the poll would remain unprotected. Abandoned or withdrawn polls would be protected without the need for author conclusions.{{User:Vapor/sig}} 04:28, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

===Historical Events===
I'm not sure why [[:Category:Historical Groups|historical groups]] are scheduled protections but [[:Category:Historical Events|historical events]] aren't. In a historical sense they both have the same principles behind why they should be protected upon becoming classed as Historical.

Basically, I'm proposing that all current and future events that are Historical (as per Historical Events voting) are to be protected on sight. --[[User:DanceDanceRevolution|<span style="color:black"><u><big>ϑϑℜ</big></u></span>]] 10:57, 20 July 2009 (BST)

#:I actually intended on keeping talk pages open (hence why they aren't specified in the request, I forgot about them), because events don't theoretically fall under the ownership of any user or page, unlike historical groups, who have protection, because as a matter of principle there should be no members to maintain the talk page. --[[User:DanceDanceRevolution|<big><u><span style="color:DarkSlateGray">ϑ</span><span style="color:DarkBlue ">ϑ</span><span style="color:DarkSlateBlue">ℜ</span></u></big>]] 10:50, 27 July 2009 (BST)
