| |
| I would formally like to request protection for this page again. I had protection for the page once before, right after I put it togethor. Needless to say, when I took a hiatus, some how, the protection was removed. You can see on the discussion page that it was severly altered (I can assume that this happened soon after the protection was removed).
| |
|
| |
| I wish to have this page preserved until I request that the protection be removed because:
| |
|
| |
| *I wish to preserve it as a reference tool as it was (historical value? [however little])
| |
| *For my own personal use in the future
| |
| *And until I can get around to editing <b>My Own</b> article myself
| |
|
| |
| I am only requesting protection for the article, not for the discussion page.
| |
|
| |
| Thanks,
| |

| :Just make a copy of it in your userspace. Pages in the main space really aren't owned by anyone, especially not if numerous people have edited them (as is the case here). {{User:Cyberbob240/Sig}} 14:28, 13 August 2009 (BST)
| |
| :As Cyberbob says, we don't really have page ownership on a wiki. Anyone is free to edit any page as long as it is in good faith (i.e. not vandalism). If you want to keep a personal page which only you are allowed to edit then you are free to copy it into your userspace.--{{User:The General/sig}} 14:40, 13 August 2009 (BST)

| ::So I'd have to make a subpage under my name. Something like [[User:Poodle of doom/A Beginners Guide]].... sounds good. I'll do that, then request a speedy deletion. Just so I have more insight as to what the process is though.... how did I get protection on it last time? -[[User:Poodle of doom|Poodle of doom]] 02:36, 14 August 2009 (BST)
| |
| :::No idea. Can you remember roughly when it was? {{User:Cyberbob240/Sig}} 02:40, 14 August 2009 (BST)
| |
| ::::It was because you were the owner of the page, something that was re-established a couple of months ago and was somehow overlooked in this protections request...

| |
| ::::::The process is that people post requests for protections/unprotections and edits to protected pages here. 9 times out of 10 their requests will be granted, but not always. The reasonings for this aren't really set in stone; unlike Speedy Deletions there aren't any criteria set in stone (simply because this isn't the sort of thing that ''can'' be codified). {{User:Cyberbob240/Sig}} 09:00, 14 August 2009 (BST)

| |
| I'm actually for fulfilling this request, I consider Poodle the owner of this page (it was his guide to start with), he protected ''with'' his inactivity in mind and unfortunately it was let loose to another user while he was gone, beyond his control because he was absent. However, if Poodle is content just moving it to his userpage, that's fine, but seriously, what will happen then? He'll work on it in his namespace, then when it's completed he'll just put it back onto the original ([[Guides:A Beginners Guide to Urban Dead]]) anyway. --{{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sigcode|LightSkyBlue}}-- 10:23, 14 August 2009 (BST)
| |
| :As soon as someone else works on an article I really don't think that the creator can be said to be its owner anymore. Nobody can - that's the whole point of a wiki. {{User:Cyberbob240/Sig}} 10:25, 14 August 2009 (BST)
| |
| ::Good point. But if his request had been done to its fullest (ie. the protection of his project until ''his'' desire to have it unprotected) it would have remained a product of his work, and we accepted that when we reverted the entire page to his original work as per that A/SD case. --{{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sigcode|LightSkyBlue}}-- 10:28, 14 August 2009 (BST)

| :::I think we should probably leave it where it is. It '''will''' need updating in the future, as the game changes, and we can't guarantee that poodle will be around to do it. If it's going to be a useful guide, it needs to be kept current.

| ==Protections Scheduling Queue== | | ==Protections Scheduling Queue== |
Template:Moderationnav
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.
Protection Queue
Place pages requiring protection here.
Requested Edits
Place pages requiring editing here.
Recent Actions
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.
