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.

Someone still needs to protect it as a historical group. Might wanna look into their subpages too, though I don't remember the exact procedure for that.-- Thadeous Oakley Talk 19:16, 28 April 2012 (BST)

Got the main page; will probably get the subpages later.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 21:51, 28 April 2012 (BST)

User:Vapor

Semi-protect, please. See history. ~ _{06:29, 27 April 2012 (UTC)}

User:The General

Please semi-protect.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 13:05, 25 April 2012 (BST)

Carried out by Karek already -- Spiderzed█ 22:11, 26 April 2012 (BST)

BTW, as a sysop you can protect/delete/whatever pretty much anything within your own userspace and it counts as de facto "User Request", so next time be bold and just do it yourself. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 05:43, 27 April 2012 (BST)

No reason for anyone to need to edit this.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 13:05, 25 April 2012 (BST)

Damn spambots are having too much fun for my liking. Check the history to see what I mean. ~~ Chief Seagull ~~ ^talk 18:21, 17 April 2012 (BST)

Probably due to it being one of the first mainspace articles alphabetically. I'd say a good candidate for semi-protection. ~ _{19:34, 17 April 2012 (UTC)}

I'm a bit reluctant to protect mainspace pages just due to a brief spike in spamming. Hence, I have just semi-protected it for two weeks. If the problem arises again afterwards, we might look at longer protection. -- Spiderzed█ 20:56, 17 April 2012 (BST)

To be fair, I don't see it posing too much of a problem, as most new users won't be editing it anyway. If they need to update the status, most use the Danger-Reports anyway, rather than editing the page itself. Doesn't seem like it'll cause too much mayhem.--Shortround }.{ My Contributions 21:06, 17 April 2012 (BST)

TBH I'm tempted to list a ton of largely-unchanging pages for permanent semi-protection. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 17:49, 27 April 2012 (BST)

User:Generaloberst and User Talk:Generaloberst

Both pages require wiping aside from the banned user template. -- Cheese 01:35, 15 April 2012 (BST)

Done. Page history has been kept for posterity in the vandal banning case. -- Spiderzed█ 01:42, 15 April 2012 (BST)

Actually, we've been known to occasionally keep a relevant version of the page in some rare cases. This seems pretty clearly to be one of those where the evidence itself in hardlink form(the final userpage) would both be appropriate and make sense so I've left that with the templates. It's also far superior than a diff link for referencing the case in the future since those occasionally die. --Karek^{maps 2.0?!} 09:47, 15 April 2012 (BST)

The Blitz and Battle of Buckley Mall

Has been protected for 1 month by me as arbitrator in order to prevent edit-warring and channel the resolution towards arbitration. -- Spiderzed█ 11:32, 11 April 2012 (BST)

As the arbitration ruling has been declared and covers future edits by the involved parties, the protection has once again been removed by me. -- Spiderzed█ 01:27, 14 April 2012 (BST)

User:DanceDanceRevolution/sandpit/9

Heya, I'd like this protected just for now. No real reason other than I don't want to forget about me doing the radio cleanup that long ago (and edit over it). D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 01:08, 9 April 2012 (BST)

Done. -- Spiderzed█ 01:18, 9 April 2012 (BST)

User:Krazy Monkey

Hallooooooo, can you unprotect the following pages:

• User:Krazy Monkey

I have big plans. -- Cheese 09:16, 5 April 2012 (BST)

Karek unprotected-conflicted me...Damn you Karek. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 11:00, 5 April 2012 (BST)

I'm sure there's some bots you can get since I'm off for now. --Karek^{maps 2.0?!} 11:04, 5 April 2012 (BST)

I'm enroute to class. About to head underground. No service in those subways. I'm sure someone else will get to them. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 11:06, 5 April 2012 (BST)

Requested by me, carried out by me. Just thought the request should be documented here. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 13:39, 3 April 2012 (BST)
