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. To submit a new scheduled protection, please visit here.

The Dead

Shouldn't this The_Dead page be locked? Let The Dead rest.-- #99 ^DCC 01:36, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

It should be. Looks like I originally protected it in 2008, and then moved the page in 2018, which also moved the protection. Sorry about that; I've put the protection back up. -- AHLG T G THE END IS NIGH! 00:38, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

It was left unlocked since 2018 since, y'know, The Dead aren't and we wanted to be able to edit the page. --【ⅎooɹd ǝʌɐɥ ᴉ sʇɐoƃ sʍoʅʚ ⅎǝᴉɹɔuoɯ uǝɹɐʞ】 ☉

The page should not be protected, and should be accessible to edit as was decided in 2018.

Not this again. Sorry to step on your toes AHLG but I've unprotected it as per the 2018 request, which after much nail-pulling, finally provided a result. If the request here is functionally identical to the 2018 request, which at the moment it is, then the result should surely be the same. DANCEDANCEREVO LUTION 02:57, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

-Should be edited to include a link to the [[UDWiki:Administration/Sysop Archives|Sysop Archives]] now that they're almost done. Some possibilities:
-*Place it at the end of the template, either before or after Discussion.
-*Place it adjacent to (probably right of) Sysop List.
-*Replace Sysop List with Sysop Archives.
-Thoughts/other proposals? {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 22:32, 20 September 2013 (BST)
-:For now, I'd just add it to the very end, since people commonly look for archives at the end of any list.
-:In thinking about that nav template though, I'm tempted to suggest (but am not actually doing so, since I haven't thought through the implications) that it might be time to combine some pages. At a glance, stuff like A/D, A/SD, A/D/S, and A/U all have to do with deleting pages, and A/MR is very closely related as well (A/PT to a lesser extent). Why not just have an administrative Page Handling page where people submit their requests for any sysop-level changes to pages and they're processed accordingly, with deletion stuff going to vote when speedy criteria aren't provided, but otherwise everything getting processed at the discretion of the sysops, just as it is now? It'd cut down on nav clutter, user confusion about where to ask for stuff, and the number of archives we're having to keep. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 23:06, 20 September 2013 (BST)
-::I would agree that a few of the links are redundant, but trying to combine nearly everything into one Page Handling page seems to me like it's asking for trouble. It would probably also require a Policy change (am I mistaken or are the various pages Policy-created?)
-::That said, I do think we could collapse a couple of the pages that are used extremely rarely - A/D/S and A/PT/S in particular. Keep the pages, but put the relevant list on A/D and A/PT, and remove it from the nav template. {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 23:17, 20 September 2013 (BST)

-I've protected it in the state it originally was in since [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=Krinks_Power_Station&action=history a pointless edit war] was starting up.

Hopefully they'll have talked it out by then. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 03:43, 11 September 2013 (BST)

-===[[UDWiki:Administration/Policy Discussion/Historical Groups|Historical Groups]] and [[UDWiki:Administration/Policy Discussion/Historical Events|Historical Events]]===
-On both pages,
-{{Pre|'''Within''' two weeks of a nomination, the group must be approved by 2/3 of the voters, with a minimum of 15 voters for a nomination to pass. The only allowable votes are Yes and No}}
-is poorly-written, confusing and has little bearing on what actually occurs in reality. Historical status for groups and events are never decided '''within''' two weeks --- that decision occurs '''after''' two weeks. The sentence should be rewritten to something like this:
-{{Pre|Voting will last for exactly two weeks following nomination. To be successful, a group must by approved by 2/3 of eligible voters, with a minimum of 15 voters for a nomination to pass. The only allowable votes are Yes and No.}}
-which is much clearer and avoids awkward problems [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=Category_talk:Historical_Groups&diff=prev&oldid=1869287 as seen here.]

-:I've already commented on this on [[User talk:Bob Moncrief#Should policies say what they mean?|my talk page]]. I actually just noticed another issue: "a minimum of 15 voters for a nomination to pass" is ambiguous; are 15 ''total'' voters required for passage, or 15 voters ''for'' required?
