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.

User:Revenant/Sig

• User:Revenant/Sig

Apparently at some point I decided to protect my sig, and declined to de-protect it before requesting demotion, possibly so as to make it less likely that I would change it.

While an amusing prank played on me by my past self, recent viewing of certain archives on a low-spec machine has made me realise just how much of a performance drain it can be in the right (wrong?) circumstances, and thus I request the page be de-protected so that I can alter it to something more suitable.

Due to the apparent lack of formal procedures for de-protection of a page, and the importance of this request, I hereby sign it in quintuplicate:

UDWiki:Administration

Can you perhaps add a link to the Sysop Archives at the bottom, maybe under "Job Queue" at the end of Administration Information? It's not exactly necessary but I at least wouldn't mind it being there. A ZOMBIE ANT 11:08, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

Good call. Done. —Aichon— 16:26, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. A ZOMBIE ANT 00:04, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

The Goth Store

There's an ongoing revert war and dispute over the page. I'm requesting protection to put a stop to the reversions and to keep the page off-limits til things get sorted out.

Some Admin-y Things

Hey guys! I don't qualify for sysop or I'd nominate myself and do these, so instead you get a return of my nagging.

• UDWiki:Administration/Sysop Archives/Spiderzed/2015-02-24 Bureaucrat Promotion is missing its breadcrumbs.
• Some of the old promotions should probably get archived.
• Might add more below if I spot anything.

Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 21:42, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

Oh also, shouldn't Aichon have been up for RE on August 1st? And Boxy this coming Tuesday. Unless I'm misunderstanding one of the policy changes I missed? Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 21:44, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

You are correct.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 22:04, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

I'm up, breadcrumbs were added, and I also added a link to his 'crat promotion on Spider's sysop archive page since it was missing there too. I'll keep reading through Bob's recent edits and making changes as time permits, but I can't get to the promotions at the moment, so someone else will need to handle them. —Aichon— 15:49, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

Just to come back around on this, I did get the promotions today since I noticed no one else had in the meantime. —Aichon— 18:17, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

Main Page

In death, the city stirs. Its borders still locked down after a sudden government quarantine a decade ago, Malton's trapped civilians make their way through the derelict buildings, surviving the changing seasons to rebuild their fragmented society from the rubble upwards. --VVV ^RPMBG 05:07, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

God yes. A ZOMBIE ANT 11:55, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

Yes, done. Any other changes before I cycle? --Rosslessness^{Want to complete a dangerous mission?} 17:12, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

On second look, yeah. The game says Military cleanup squads, not Military clean-up squads. Also, clawing through makeshift barricades and diversions could have a link to Barricades. --VVV ^RPMBG 21:51, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

Done both. —Aichon— 18:10, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

User:Hagnat

can someone unprotect my user page ? asking for a friend --hagnat 21:39, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Done. —Aichon— 05:16, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Template:Developing Suggestions Intro

I've semi-protected the template because it just got accidentally mangled and there isn't really a need for new users to edit it. (TBH I was surprised that such a high-profile template was completely unprotected yet.) -- Spiderzed▋ 15:55, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
