UDWiki:Administration/Protections/Scheduling

Shortcut:
A/PT/S

This page will be used for users to request that pages falling into certain categories be protected as appropriate by a sysop without having to go through the protections page. A list of pages in the Scheduled Protections list is located here.

Protection Scheduling

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

Remember that votes must be signed and datestamped (use ~~~~)

After the two weeks are up, if the page has reached at least a 50% majority in favour it is added to the Scheduled list. If the request fails to get the required number of votes, it doesn't get added. In either case, the closed request can then get shifted to the Archive.

Scheduling requests under consideration

Closed Open Discussions

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 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.

4. Suck my nuts. But yeah, it does make sense. The idea I mean, not sucking my nuts. Although... --LordMoloch (talk) 15:59, 26 August 2018 (UTC)
5. @Aichon we'll call it "Open-and-Shut Discussions" instead. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 19:34, 26 August 2018 (UTC)
6. Yea. Can the talk page redirect be removed, so someone could still add their thoughts about the discussion if the main page is closed? -- LABIA on the INTERNET ^{Dunell Hills Corpseman} #24 - |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| ^TMG 01:22, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
